Gel Metatarsal Pads and Ball of Foot Pads for Shoe Cushions and Comfort
-
No more forefoot ache by the end of the day: gel foot pads for shoes cushion the ball of your foot
-
Steadier steps, less pain: extra cushioning beneath the metatarsal heads helps improve alignment
-
Comfort that goes unnoticed: these pads adhere to your socks or shoes, never to your skin
-
Works in the shoes you already wear: use them in dress shoes, sneakers, or socks
-
Wash and reuse: the latex-free gel pads are washable, so the same pair works day after day
By midafternoon your forefoot is aching from a day on your feet, and it doesn't let up until you sit down. These gel metatarsal pads sit under the ball of the foot and forefoot, targeting the pressure points that flare up with neuromas, sesamoiditis, and capsulitis. They adhere to your socks or shoes, not your skin, so nothing sticks to your feet at the end of the day.
The gel's ventilation pores let air move through the pad for a cooling sensation during activity or long stretches of standing, while the extra cushioning beneath the metatarsal heads improves alignment and eases pressure on the forefoot. Slip a pair of these foot cushions into dress shoes, sneakers, socks, or any other footwear for cycling, hiking, walking, or jogging — the latex-free, washable cushioning for feet is reusable, so the same pair goes with you from one activity to the next.
