Neuroma Pads - Mini Felt

Question:

I think I have Metatarsalgia. Will this product help me?

Answer:

Yes! Metatarsalgia is a generic term used to describe non-specific forefoot pain in the region of the metatarsal bones. This pad will off-load the forefoot. By taking load off the ball of the foot, the metatarsal pads help to redistribute load bearing.

Question:

I have pain on the balls of my feet when I wear shoes or walk bearfoot .  I purchased a dr. sholls thing however it took up to much space in my shoes  . I am seeking somthing that will eleviate the pain on the balls of  my feet  and not take up room in my shoes. Which metatarsal pad do you recommend? 

Answer:

I need a little more information about your pain before I can recommend any products to help with the pain in the balls of your feet. We have many ball-of-foot products; some are better for fat pad atrophy and others are better for various forefoot problems where off-loading the ball of foot is the goal.

If you need something directly on the balls of your feet to cushion and add padding, then take a look at these 3 products, all of which take up very little space in your shoes:

         Gel Metatarsal Cushion
         Ball of Foot Gel Pads
         Foam Ball of Foot Pads
If you need a pad that will off-load weight from the balls of your feet, then many of the other ball-of-foot products will work. The ones that take up the least amount of room are:
        Gel Metatarsal Pads
        Metatarsal Pads - Felt
        Metatarsal Pads - Foam
        Metatarsal Pads -PPT

Question:

How does this pad compare to felt metatarsal pads?

Answer:

The Neuroma Pad is smaller but made with the same density felt as the felt metatarsal pad.  It's a personal preference.

Question:

Is this pad place din the same way a metatarsal pad would be placed?

Answer:

It can be.  What we find is that most folks with place the Neuroma Pad at the level of the thrid intermetatarsal space (between the thrid and fouth toes).  In this way the Neuroma Pad is focused on providing lift to that specific area.
