Foam Metatarsal Pads continue to work great for me
I have been purchasing these for three years and find they still work great for my metatarsal nerve pain. I apply directly to the fore-arch area of my foot close to the metatarsal area. I also use arch supports and find it takes both to give my feet the support they need. My only suggestion is to offer more pads per package to try to keep the unit cost down over time.

Works great and lasts a long time. Bought both the foam and felt kind to see which works best. Both are good but I like the foam much better. Seems to be more comfortable and lasts longer. Will buy again and is nice to be able to walk again without pain in every step or having to curl my toes up or walk on side of foot to take pressure off sore spot. Would recommend.

I'm a fishing guide in Colorado in the summer and Florida in the winter. I prefer to go barefoot, but when possible I need to wear a met pad. I've been able to rig these into both my waders and flip-flops. And getting wet doesn't seem to be an issue.

These are easier to use and place than the felr pads, but are not as thick, so don't offer as much support.

I've used both the felt and the foam pads in the past. I work a lot out in the yard in the summer and tend to get wet with the hose and playing with the kids. The foam pads are my go to for summer time use.
Make sure you get them positioned right first. They can be hard to remove after several days of use.

Effective and comfortable
I've used both felt and PPD pads, and found these to be highly effective and comfortable: more durable than the felt pads, for example, and somewhat more comfortable than the PPT ones (at least when placed directly on the foot, or on top of orthotics as opposed to underneath a layer of soft padding).
The size was comparable to that of the felt pads that my podiatrist provides in his office, and they provided enough support to provide relief for the neuroma in one foot, and the metatarsalgia I experience in both.
Given my experience with these, I would probably prefer to use foam over felt now, although I would still go with PPT for long-term use, simply because it will hold up better over a period of many weeks or months.

What an awesome product. Such a difference in my daily track walking. It is an excellent solution to my Neroma. What works best for me, is I place it right on my foot. I will definately order more.

I find this interesting that EVERYONE has a 5 rating. NEVER have I seen this before on anything. Try a 3 just to see how long it stays here.
Reply from the Myfootshop.com Medical Director - Thanks for your comment. We had a similar comment a week ago which made me wonder whether the rating system was defective in some way. Interestingly, some customers, even with a poor verbal review of a product, fail to change the default rating of 5. We'll keep your 3 up for a long, long time to come.

I had severe pain in my fore foot area two years ago. I could barely walk. My podiatrist inserted foam foot pads under the insole of one pair of shoes and the relief was immediate. Needless to say I worn that one pair of shoes a lot but the pads eventually compressed flat. After some searching on the internet I finally found the identical foam pads from myfootshop and bought a couple of packages - they are now in all my shoes/boots. I love the convenience of installing them on the bottom side of the insoles and never worrying about them again (at least for 2 years).

These pads are very helpful; I ballroom dance, and they are a godsend for my feet. I apply them directly to my feet. The adhesive lasts much longer than I expected.

Pain free with foam metatarsal pads
I have been buying these pads for about two years now. They are the perfect size and material to relieve my neuroma pain. I usually just apply to my feet and switch them out about once a week but with some shoes I also apply them to metatarsal area of the shoe bed. Try them!

I bought the metatarsal pads and was really surprised how much these helped. I was told I have metatarsalgia. My foot problems made me have to change my exercise routine to water aerobics. I used to walk and use the stationary bike. These pads have helped me walk and run errands on those long days wearing shoes. They are much more comfortable with these pads in them. I read other reviews about placing them in shoes correctly. Read the instructions provided. I recommend these met pads and give them an absolute 5 stars. They are worth the investment for more comfort to your foot pain.

I bought felt and these foam. I like the foam better as they last longer without getting all fuzzy. Very soft but supportive. The adhesive last for multiple reuses when applied directly to the foot.

I love these pads. My podiatrist showed me where to place by the ball of my foot (directly on my foot) so I could relieve the pressure on my metatarsal area. I have been wearing them now for almost a year. You can take them off to shower and place back on. I find one pad will last 4-5 days. Bu using these pads I was able to forgo surgery. Thank you!

I have just received my 3rd order from your company. On my 2nd order I did not get the same product as in the first. I was careless and didn't realize there were two Metatarsal pads - one foam and the other felt. I received the felt on the 2nd order (because that's what I ordered) and I can't tell you how disappointed I was. The first order had been almost too good to be true and at first I thought that was exactly the case. But fortunately I had a pack of the original order and could compare - and realized my mistake.
The foam metatarsal pads are the best thing possible. I've tried everything that's out there. I'm an actress and I'm sure my problem with my feet stems from the years in the early days of T.V.when we walked on nothing but concrete, in high heels, for hours of shooting. I have no pad left on my feet. But I'm still performing and need to wear whatever shoes are called for by the role and the costumer. In addition, just everyday shoe choices were so limited by my ball of foot pain.
Your product it an absolute life saver!! I can't thank you enough. In my running shoes on the treadmill every morning, in my daytime shoes, in my performance shoes, my costume shoes, my dress shoes. It's a whole different world with your foam pads. Thank you so very much. They will be part of my daily life from now on.

My doctor advised me to use the Felt Metatarsal Pads whenever I wear shoes. I saw these on your website, and thought I would try them. The foam actually holds up much better than the felt, so they last longer. I had toe surgery in 2011, and I always use these in all shoes, even bedroom slippers. The Price is very reasonable, the website offers the best range of orthotics available of any I have searched. I will never shop anywhere but myfootshop.com.

These foam metatarsal pads work amazingly well for my chronic sesamoititis. I place them directly on my feet while doing yoga, and they make it possible for me to continue to practice yoga with much less pressure and stress on my inflamed sesamoid bones.

Second order. I use a modable arch support and place the foam pad on the bottom of the arch support. I have ball of foot pain, metarlargia. It gives me enough lift on the ball of the foot pain as I walk and they work as good as any met pad I have had. I will continue to use.

I tried the felt pads at first and they gave me some relief for metatarsel capsulitis, but they were just too firm and too thick for me. They caused other pain and some sciatic issues. I changed to the foam pads and cut off an 1/8 inch to make them thinner. That worked great and gave me a lot of relief. I have only walked with the inserts, haven't run yet.

I have Morton's Neuroma. I wear these directly on my foot. It transitions weight off my forefoot and facilitates the gait moving forward. I alternate using these and the Dancers pads under my insole. Not a silver bullet for my pain, but it helps and I will continue to buy them.

I've had a neuroma on my left foot for a while now and hope to avoid surgery. Have tried various pads and so far, the metatarsal foam pad has helped (I wear it inside my athletic shoe). Once winter arrives and I start wearing closed shoes to work, I will try it also in that type of shoe. I received this product quickly and think MyFootShop has great service.

I ordered the Felt and the Foam Metatarsal Pads I love them.
I use the Felt ones in my sandals and flip flops because they are soft and do not stick to my bare feet I was making my own Felt pads until I found these, So I was happy to find the Felt ones. I will order more from this company again the price was good and shipping was fast.

I was calling in to order this product and wanted you to know that each person was so nice and great about helping me out. The product itself save my husband from not getting a shot of cortizone in his foot. These worked great on him and he no longer has to wear them, as he no longer has the pain. I still keep some on hand and gave some to my sister who gets this pain during summer wearing certain shoes. Thank you so much for helping my husband.

I added the pads to an old pair of orthotics that did not have the metatarsal pads, and now these work wonders. I plan to add these pads to all my shoes so all my shoes will be comfortable as my runnning shoes.

The metatarsal form and felt pads are both extremely helpful. They take the pressure off the ball of the foot and make every day life from working in outside sales to extreme workouts manageable. It was great to find such a simple solution!

I do like these pads. They aren't protruding like others that are harder. I use painters tape (blue) to attached them under my orthotics. That way I can adjust very easily. I would definitely recommend them.

I have custom orthotics for a Morton's neuroma, but they only fit in the one pair of shoes they were made for. I use these in all of my other less-worn shoes, and they are the only way I can get through the day! They work nearly as well as my custom orthotics for keeing pressure off the neuroma, and don't add a bulky insert to dressy shoes that don't have room to spare.

I just received a pair of the metatarsal foam pads. My feet were very sore and I put the pads in the shoe and wore them to work for 6 hrs. My feet still hurt at the end of the day, I don't know if they they didn't feel any better because my feet were sore to begin with. I will try them again and see how they feel.

Glad I read the reviews and went with the foam and not the felt. It is extremely comfortable and brought relief to the person using it who has inflammation at the metatarsal heads. The only down side (which is also actually the good side) is that you can't easily remove or reposition it once it's placed. Would definitely purchase more as needed.
