Dancer's Pads - Premium Felt, off-load the ball of foot and the great toe joint. The cut-out area surrounds the great toe joint and re-distributes load onto the pad relieving forefoot pain. These pads get their name because of their skived or rounded edges and often are used by dancers to relieve forefoot pain. Adhesive-backed. 2/pkg.

Choosing right or left: Choosing the correct dancer's pad for your specific needs can sometimes be tricky. Here are some examples of how to choose the correct pad:

If you are having trouble with your left big toe joint and want to wear the Dancers' Pads on your skin, then you should buy a package of Left dancer's pads. If instead you want to place the pads in your left shoe to treat a left foot problem, you need to reverse them, so you should purchase a package of Right pads.

If you wish to off-load a problem beneath the little toe joint, and you wish to apply the dancer's pad to the skin, then you would purchase the opposite side that you would need if you were treating your big toe. If you are treating your left 5th toe and want to place the pad on the bottom of your foot, you should purchase a package of right Dancer's Pads. And if you want to treat a callus beneath the 5th toe and you wish to place the pad in your shoe, then you would do the opposite and purchase a package of left Dancer's Pads.

Measurements: Pads measure 1/4" thick, 3 1/2" across and 3" long.

Question:

Just purchased the premium felt dancer's pads and would like to know if they can be cleaned. Also, how long does the sticky side last if placed on the foot or in the shoe when removed? Should these pads be worn with orthodics, alone or which ever feels best? P.S. I am trying these because nothing else has worked. I have hallux rigidus and ball of foot/forefoot pain. I have also ordered the turf toe plate which should arrive soon. I have worn these before but they only alleviates the big toe joint pain but not ball of foot. Trying anything and everything.

Answer:

The Premium felt Dancers' Pads can't really be washed, as that would ruin the adhesive on the back. I suppose you could clean the felt side with a damp cloth or brush if need be. These pads are made with traditional adhesive, so they are intended to be applied just once. However,some customers have said that they can apply them several times to their skin before the adhesive stops working. The Premium Felt Dancers' Pads can be applied to your orthotics,to your Turf Toe Plates, or to your foot - whichever works best at relieving your pain. You may want to test-drive them by keeping them in place with medical tape before exposing their adhesive.

Question:

I have a irritating corn just under the tailor's bunion on my right foot. Is there a dancer's pad or somesuch I could use to make it more comfortable.

Answer:

Any Dancer's Pad or Metatarsal Pad would serve to take the weight off of the 5th metatarsal head where your corn develops. This Premium Dancer's Pad is specifically designed to focus on the big toe joint, so I would suggest that you look at either the Economy Dancer's Pad or the Felt Metatarsal Pad. We call it a reversed dancer's pad. you're just flipping it over and using it sub 5 inseatd of sub 1.

Question:

In the video for the economby dancer's pads, you indicate that you would put the pad on the under side of the insole. is that the case here too?

Answer:

That is the best place to put them, but they can also be placed on top of the insole or directly on your foot - whatever is most comfortable for you. If they are underneath the insole, they tend to stay cleaner and may last a bit longer.

Question:

I've been having ongoing issues with my right foot since a horse accident two years ago. I've had issues with my midfoot/lisfranc area and my sesamoids. I have orthotics with a small dancers pad but an orthopedic doctor suggested adding another one on top to see if it would be worth modifying my orthotics. I'm looking for something to stick on the orthotic to try for a month or so. Which of the dancer's pads would you recommend?

Answer:

All of these Dancer Pads would be helpful. The Economy Dancers Pads, and the Premium Dancers Pads adhere to your shoe, while the Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads adhere to the skin on the bottom of your foot.

Felt Dancers Pads

My daughter needed these for lacrosse, not dancing. She said they were comfortable and helped alleviate her foot pain. The down side to the felt pad was it only lasted about 3 days. The pivoting in her cleats tore the pad up and the pack of two only lasted a week. Excellent for comfort
Poor for longevity

Helps with ball-of-foot pain

I have a pad for each pair of shoes, even sandals. They work well and last a long time, six months to a year, depending on how often I wear the shoe.

However, the edge of the pad irritates my arch, so I cover the insole of each shoe or sandal with moleskin cut to shape. This method works perfectly.

Helps with sesamoid problems

Works well, but found that each insole needs their own felt pads, i.e., moving insoles from one shoe to another doesn't work so well as the location of the felt pad ends up a bit different in the "new" shoe.

Works great.

Rather than go with expensive rigid orthotics - custom or ready made - so far these pads have made my feet feel great. Took the pressure off the head of my first metatarsal and sesamoids. (I put them under the shoe insert rather than on my foot.

Dancer's Pads - Felt

I tried both the economy and premium versions of this pad. The felt in this pad seems a bit more compact and likely to last longer. Seems to be a well made product. Arrived in 4 days after ordering.

Dancer's Pads

Work quite well for my sesamoid pain. My doctor originally made an orthotic to treat sesamoiditis. It works but doesn't fit into any of my shoes. These are a great alternative that fit into everything.

Helps bunion surgery recovery

It helps take the weight off the sesamoid/metatarsal area below big toe!

Can't live without them. I use in sneakers, flats, heels! Alleviates a lot of the pain!

LOVE THEM

I initially bought pads for my left foot, but quickly realized, I could buy "right" foot pads to stick on my shoe instead of my skin. Highly recommend doing that!

Excellent Pads for Non-dancers, Too

These pads have allowed me to walk and stand without pain. They are a great relief for ball-of-the-foot pain.

Just what I needed

Painful neuroma solved with dancer's pads. Although I still have tender, sore metatarsals, the stress and pain has been diminished.

Excellent product

I'm a former professional ballet dancer who still takes class a few times a week and these work really well to cushion an old dancer's feet inside a technique shoe. I affix them to the inside of the shoe, not my foot. You can still feel the floor when balancing in releve and in pirouettes or other turns but it's not painful. They saved my feet!

Dancer's pads

Of all the pads I've tried, this is my favorite. The cut-out shape fits perfectly to off-load the pressure away from my big toe joint. It helps me a great deal.

Dancer's Pads - Premium Felt

I have been using these pads for about 3 weeks now. I have sesamoiditis and normally use metarsal pads. These are a comparable subsitute and do help when I've been on a concrete floor for 8 + hours. Placement even with instruction can be tricky. The adhesive did however allow for repeated removal/re-affixing to the topside of my insole.

Gel and Skin Care Products - why can't I return them? Gel products are porous and contain mineral oil. When placed in the shoe or on the foot, gel products attract particulate material, skin cells and body oils. Safety seals on skin care products are for your protection. A single use of a gel product or a broken seal on a skin care product makes it impossible to re-shelf or re-sell the product.

To ensure proper credit, defective products must be returned with a copy of the original invoice. Myfootshop.com reserves the right to determine whether the failure of a product is due to a manufacturer's defect or due to normal wear and intended product use.

When a shipment seems lost, our policy is to wait 10 business days from the date of the original shipment before shipping a new replacement order.
