A bit of comfort
"I tried these to relive a sore toe that needed some support behind it to take pressure away from it. The pads work fairly well for that, they just really aren’t big enough for my feet and I can feel the edges a bit."

Meh
"They are thin and flimsy. Maybe thicker would cause more pain but there is no comforting element to these."

"These didn't work for me"
Ok fit, function not so much.
"Adhesive works well, the expected pain relief did not happen."
Not quite perfection
"Two things this item needs: placement instructions that are better written. 2. Slicker silicone. Once it is in place on the insole or in the shoe, the silicone has a tendency to grab your sock as the foot attempts to slide over this device and into proper place in the shoe. This creates wrinkling in the sock. The only way to avoid it that I have found is to completely unlace the shoe, insert foot and then replace the shoe. I eventually put some slick tape on top of the device so my foot would slide over it better, but still not satisfied with that result either."
Great Product
"Great product. Works well."
pads are working
"purchased metatarsal pads to alleviate pain from Morton's Neuroma. They are definitely helping with the pain. They stay stuck on my high arch insoles, which I also really like."
Meta Pain gone
"These worked fantastic. Make sure to line them to shape of foot before sticking them to the sole. Other than that very helpful"
Good
"Good accessories to have"
Unable to use just made
"Unable to use just made it worse"
Q&A
- How long do these pads typically last?
- Hello Eddy K. Thank you for your question. The metatarsal cushions use a specialty foam that’s extremely resilient to compression, so it will keep its thickness for a long time. This helps them last as long as if not longer than our insoles, which can last between 6 months and a year. If you plan to wear them every day or during rigorous activities, then they may need replaced sooner. Additionally, you want to make sure you set them right, so the adhesion won’t fail. You’ll know when to replace them if you see any cracks or tearing in the foam. We hope this helps!
