Question:

I currently wear felt metatarsal pads (#729) underneath the Superfeet inserts in my sneakers. They work very well for me, besides the fact that I beat them down fairly quickly and need to change the pads every 3-5 weeks. I wouldn't have a problem with this if it didn't rip up the bottom of the Superfeet inserts when trying to remove the adhesive pad. I'm wondering which metatarsal pad might be more rigid that I could still put under my inserts but that I wouldn't have to change as often, or at all.

Answer:

I'm glad the felt metatarsal pads work well for you. And, 3-5 weeks is actually a pretty good length of time to wear them! However, if you want something that may prove longer-lasting, here are my suggestions:

Pedag Drop Metatarsal Pads: these are made of a firm foam with a leather cover, which makes them fairly firm.

Gel Metatarsal Pads: I think this one may last a bit longer than the felt ones, since the gel is a medium firm gel.

Metatarsal Pads-PPT: The PPT foam is a medium firm foam that may also last longer than the felt one.

Reusable Gel Metatarsal Pads: You might want to consider these, as they are designed to adhere to your feet rather than your shoe, and can be worn over and over again. We have a lot of converts toward using these!

Question:

Do you have different sizes of this pad and what are the dimensions? Do you have another shape of this same material and what are the dimensions? I have some that are the same material but a different shape.

Answer:

Yes, we do. As an alternative PPT pad, check out our Metatarsal Bar PPT Cushion.

Question:

Can you please tell me how to know what size pads to order I have been diagnosed with mortons neurome and apparently they are quite large on both feet.

Answer:

The size of the PPT Metatarsal Pad you choose is based more on your foot size than the actual neuroma size. The met pad needs to fit your foot comfortably. The Small and Medium have the same width and length dimensions, but the Small is 1/8" thinner. The Large is bigger all-around.

Question:

I was thinking of buying a metatarsal pad but have no idea what is the difference between a metatarsal pad, felt and the ppt. I suffer from ball of foot pain. If you could tell me what's the difference between the two would be amazing.

Answer:

All of our metatarsal pads work to alleviate ball of foot pain, but are made of different materials. The Felt Metatarsal Pads are made of a dense wool/polyester blend, and the PPT® is a frothed, open-cell urethane foam that is more firm than the felt. I wish I could give you a more specific answer to your question, but the difference in the met pads is often one of personal choice. If product sales is any guage of preference, we sell more felt met pads than all of the other met pads combined.

Another excellent product!

This is the other product I find particularly helpful in relieving my pain. It is firm enough to keep its shape and wide enough to support the majority of the area that hurts so often. Very easy to position in my shoes!

PPT metatarsal pads

I like the PPT a bit more than the felt pads offered on this site. The PPT didn't wear or become compressed over time. Worked well for my needs.

Metatarsal Pads - PPT

I ordered the size small pads to use under my green Superfeet insoles. I basically replicated what my podiatrist did, but I used this product instead (it looked very similar to her product). She had wedged it underneath the edge of the hard green plastic part (toe end) on the reverse side of the insoles in order to raise and support the mid-foot a bit. It worked perfectly for me. I knocked off a point only because a few of the metatarsal pads were cut too small. In fact, I found these pads to barely be the size stated and smaller than what one would expect. Next time I think I will order size medium.

durable relief

I apply these on the underneath side of my shoe lining, which comfortably supports metatarsals. This eliminates the hard bump I feel when I place them on top of my shoe lining. Be sure to get them in the right spot. Terrific.

Metatarsal Pads-PPT

These are great foot pads. I have a broken metatarsal arch that cannot be repaired. I simply put one of these pads in ALL of my right shoes (injury site here,) and I am comfortable and good to go anywhere and do all my regular activities. Thanks for continuing to offer these items.

Metatarsal Pads-PPT

I find these to be a bit hard. I definitely can feel the pad when I put on shoes and walk. The Oppo gel metatarsal pad to be more comfortable and a bit wider.

Metatarsal Pads-PPT

I like the metatarsal pads-ppt. They most definitely reduce the pain and allow me to stay on my feet longer. They are slightly smaller and more firm than the foam metatarsal pads I had previously purchased (which also helped reduce the pain). But so far, the ppt pads seem to work a little better. As before, my order was processed and shipped quickly. No problems, Many Thanks.

Metatarsal Pads-PPT

I agree with previous comments about placing the pads accurately the first time.

I want to commend My Foot Shop for its excellent service. I messed up the order and it was corrected by them immediately. A good thing, too, since the order shipped the next day!

Metatarsal Pads-PPT

Worked fine for me. Be sure to get them in the right place the first time. My doctor showed me how to use a felt tipped pen to mark my shoe in the right spot so that you don't have to move them. The sticky doesn't work very well if you try to move them.

Metatarsal Pads-PPT

The metatarsal pads are an excellent product and a good light weight alternative solution where orthotics won't work in the shoe. The PT material is quite hard wearing and resilient. The sticky patch on the underside of the pad adheres well, although try to ensure that you place it in the right place for you in the shoe the first time so that you don't have to pull it off and reapply it, because this may weaken adhesion somewhat. Recommended.
