HAPAD Metatarsal Pad 3/8" - Large, 6 Pair Pack Wool Felt Ball of Foot Pad

Used these for years and highly recommend. Able to wear cute shoes that have little support when I apply these pads. Agree that correct placement is key or they will be uncomfortable but once placed correctly are a game changer. May feel odd initially but soon adapt as in minutes of walking. Look at directions. Sounds like one person applied to their feet but they are meant to apply to shoes or inserts. they stick very well . My foot Specialist ortho md recommended and , again, when used correctly really work

These work great for my recent metatarsal foot injury... I've been using the same one for over a week. I gently remove, wash, let it dry overnight, and it sticks again to foot. It's the only thing that's helping me walk without pain.

The middle three toes on each of my feet are hammered. They are still somewhat flexible but walking pushes the toe into the first joint which irritates it and it hurts. I visited my foot doctor (a MD foot/ankle surgeon) and he assessed my problem and added these foot pads to my orthotic inserts. They were placed just below the pad of foot which helped relieve some of the pressure on the toe joint. At first, I could feel the foot pad in my shoe and my gait was slightly affected. But, I got used to the feeling quickly and almost immediately started to benefit from the pads. I went on a very long walk the next morning and had zero pain. I did have to re-lace my shoes because they will lift your foot a bit. Not a big deal but I will remember to bring these with me the next time I buy new shoes so I know they'll fit properly. No idea how long a pad will last inside my shoe but they seem to be well made.

After reading lots of reviews on these ... most negative, I have to say I think there are two reasons these may not work for someone and it has nothing to do with the product. #1 is a metatarsal pad what the doctor or another specialist said you actually NEED and #2 - placement of these is EVERYTHING. I was actually told by a foot specialist to get another type of foot cushion (toe straightener pad) at our local "See the Trainer" sports medicine store. They specialize in sports related injury/foot/sprains etc. type devices. What the doctor recommended for my over 15 plus years of terrible foot pain did not work. When I took the "toe straighteners" back to "See the Trainer" their "foot specialist" listened to my doctor's diagnosis and said, "I agree in theory with what he is saying but really what you need are these." At this speciaty store in my hometown I paid $15.00 for ONE pair. (So the price of these for 6 pairs is really good). In any event, these worked for me and cured the foot pain I've tolerated for over 15 years!!! With these pads placement is key. The widest part of the pad goes in your shoe and should hit you DIRECTLY behind the pad of your foot. It does feel odd at first but within a half hour, you forget they are even in your shoes. The product works (IF indeed you actually have a problem that requires a pad in this area) ... the product STAYS in your shoe AND it can be repositioned several times without losing it's stickiness. I love these things and wish my doctor was as smart as the "foot guy" at our local sports medicine store!

pads are extremely sticky and can/will damage shoe inserts if moved after application. White shows up dirt from feet so likely you're going to want to change occasionally ... resulting in potential damage to shoe inserts. Since medicare doesn't cover orthopedic shoe inserts this could be an issue

When these are positioned in the right spot...all pain goes away. Hard to believe but it really works.

The pads work as described. Often you experience a product bought online that doesn’t fully work as promised but this one does! No regrets.

These hurt my foot horribly. They're like walking on rocks because they're so small and stiff. Idk how anyone can wear these. Unfortunately I bought the bulk size and unfortunately am unable to return them as I used 1 out of like 30 of them. AVOID and buy metatarsal COOKIES instead. Throw all of these in the garbage where they belong
