Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads provide fast relief for sesamoid and forefoot pain. The pads' pronounced cut-out is designed to shift weight away from the great toe joint or first metatarsal joint and sesamoids, relieving pain in the ball of the foot.

The best thing about Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads is that the 'sticky' does not wear out after one use. The adhesive side of these dancer pads is reactivated every time you hand wash the pads with mild soap and water and let them dry. Great for dress shoes or sandals when a traditional insert can't be worn. Effective in all shoes or even with just socks around the house. Made of latex-free silastic gel.

Each package contains two pads: two rights or two lefts. Regular is 1/8 inch. Thick is 1/4 inch. Reusable Gel Dancer's pads are part of a family of metatarsal pads we carry at Myfootshop.com. 2/pkg.

Indications - Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads are used in the treatment of sesamoiditis, sesamoid fractures, hallux limitus, turf toe, forefoot pain, Freiberg's infraction, forefoot capsulitis, forefoot bursitis, metatarsalgia, and Morton's neuroma. Reverse the position of a Reusable Gel Dancer's Pad and use it to treat tailor's bunions and sub 5th metatarsal pain.

Foot Care Tip! Dancer's Pads are primarily used to treat problems of the great toe joint - a left Dancer's Pad would treat the left great toe joint. But Dancer's Pads may also be used though to treat painful calluses beneath the 5th metatarsal head (behind the little toe). To treat a painful callus beneath the 5th metatarsal head on the left foot, you would order a right Dancer's Pad.

Question:

I'm a 63 yo man - fitness almost-enthusiast - with R sesamoiditis. Have been using a felt dancers pad stuck to a leather 3/4 shoe insert for daily wear - with some but incomplete relief. Am still exercising - which involves extension of great toe when I am doing things like pushups. Am wondering if applying a reusable dancers pad might be more effective, and, if so, if a thin or thick dancers pad is best. Advice?

Answer:

Thanks for your question about sesamoiditis! Felt Dancers’ Pads are very effective to off-load weight away from your sesamoid and onto the pad. The Reusable Dancer’s Pads work exactly the same way, except that they adhere to your foot rather than your insole. This may help a bit more when doing things like pushups, as it moves and flexes with your foot rather than sitting on your shoe. I would assume that the felt pad you are using is ¼” thick or close, so the ¼” thick Reusable Dancers Pad would be more effective than the 1/8” one.

I would like to direct your attention to our article on Sesamoiditis ~ if you haven’t read it already, you may gain some insight into your condition by taking a look at it.

Question:

Hi, I am writing for my daughter who is experiencing pain from the middle of the foot just behind the ball of the foot and it extends to her big toe. She injured her foot when her big toe was over extended she believes.The pain has been there for over 6 months and now has made it impossible for her to wear high heels and she is favoring one side of her foot. I was looking at your reusable gel metatarsal pads and wanted to know if that is the best product for what I described? Also would that work when she wears high heels?

Answer:

It sounds like it could be a sesamoid injury: either sesamoiditis or sesamoid fracture. Please read these articles on our website to get a better understanding of her condition. Our medical director suggested using our Reusable Gel Dancer’s Pads. The 1/8" ones would probably be best suited to using in high heels, but she might want to also try the ¼" thick ones for more support.

Question:

I have hallux limitus and no fad pad in the forefoot to speak of. I am wearing the economy felt dancers pad but with my new orthotics, it is too thick for my shoes with my high arches. My feet are at the top of my shoes. Would these pads be more appropriate and which thickness? Does it cover the pad of the foot more in front than the economy ones do? I have also purchased the other ones you sell but they squish down and don't help much.

Answer:

The Economy Dancers Pads are 1/4" thick, so it sounds like you would need something that is thinner than that. The Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads as well as the Reusable Gel Ball of Foot Pads both come in 1/8" thickness, which may suit your needs better. The Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads do cover part of the ball of your foot, so if you have very little fat pad there, this could solve both problems for you.

Question:

If I order the Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads, but want to adhere them to my shoe and not my foot, would I order the opposite side of where I'm having problems? I have sesamoiditis in my right foot, so would I order ones for the left?

Answer:

Yes – you are correct, since the pad would be flipped upside down. However, I don’t think the adhesive that is on this particular pad will stick very well to your shoe. As an alternative, consider using our other felt dancer's pads. Felt dancer's pads have an adhesive backing that is designed to adhere to the foot or the shoe.

Question:

Can the Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads be trimmed? I was using felt pads trimmed in a "C" shape for my sesamoiditis and I tried these for a more economical, reusable option but it is just huge for my foot and causes my shoes to fit too tight.

Answer:

Yes, they sure can be trimmed with scissors!

Question:

I'm a road cyclist and enjoy riding very much. After about 45 mins into my ride my 2,3,and 4 toes start to go numb on my right foot. I notice it more on hill climbs and hard pedaling efforts. It's becoming more on an issue lately and it's shortening my rides. Do you have any idea what the problem may be? Any suggestions on any product that may help relieve the problem would be appreciated.

Answer:

I’d have to assume you’re using clips? Clips create a focal area of pressure on the sole of the foot that can contribute to the numbness that you describe. Be sure to check out our articles on Morton's Neuroma and capsulitis for more information.

First suggestion would be to check the inside of the shoe and be sure that there’s no palpable shoe defect or pronounced area associated with the clips. If not, the key to treating the numbness then would be to increase the surface area to which the load is applied to the bottom of the foot while biking. That can be done simply with the use of a metatarsal pad.

We tend to recommend Felt Metatarsal Pads to most of our customers in that they’re inexpensive and easy to use. Be sure to watch the video associated with felt metatarsal pads for proper placement in the shoes.

Question:

I have chronic 2d metatarsal bursitis on MRI, left foot only, and Morton's ("Greek") foot bilat (of course!). 6'0', 205 lb, 65 y.o. I used to run a lot but had to cut way back due to the bursitis. I prefer "barefoot" or minimalist shoes. I wonder if the Dancer's Pads might be a good choice to unload that metatarsal head a bit. Not thrilled w/ steroid injections as an option because I assume it will recur due to mechanics.

Answer:

Thanks for contacting us. First, be sure to read our knowledge base article on capsulitis. Although the terms capsulitis and bursitis are often used synonymously, I think you’ll hear this forefoot issue more commonly called capsulitis.

You’re right on target about the mechanical aspect of the problem and how cortisone often falls short as a long term solution. A dancers pad can help, but I’d typically use the dancers pad for sub 1 issues like sesamoiditis. Rather than the dancer’s pad, I’d refer you to our Metatarsal Pads. The whole purpose of the met pad is to off-load the second metatarsal head and distribute load over a wider surface area. Plus they’re a little bit less expensive.

Be sure to watch the instructional video on the page to see how to place the met pads in the shoe. If you can properly place the met pad, you only need one per shoe.

Question:

My 12 year old daughter who has danced competitively for the past 5 years was recently diagnosed with Freibergs Infraction. The Doctor is not sure she will be able to dance again, but saw these your dance pads and want to give them a try. Would you recommend the 1/4" or 1/8" to wear with her dance shoes (ballet, jazz and lyrical)?

Answer:

It is hard to say which thickness she would be most comfortable with, so we would recommend getting a box of each and letting her try them both. Start with the thin ones and see if they make her feel better. Then move to the thicker ones if necessary.

Reusable gel dancers pads - right & left

Both products address the need to cushion the ball and forefoot from burning and pain. I highly recommend both of these products. PLEASE note, this review combined the left and right products in an effort to eliminate duplicate efforts.

These dancer pads were perfect for my injured ball of foot (sesamoiditis) pain. They apply and reapply easily. Price was good. I will order again so that I have more for other shoes.

These work!

I have had significant pain in the ball of my right foot (beneath the big toe) for several years. It seemed to be caused by overuse from playing tennis. It gets better after resting it, but then I dont get to play! It got so bad, that I would have to walk with the weight on the outside of my foot, which can't be good for the knee, etc.

I had an x-ray done which showed no break, but the doctor only said the sesamoids were in need of rest. I have thin feet, without a lot of extra meat on them, so that made it worse.

I tried these 1/8 inch pads over the last 2 weeks, and I can say that they help take the pressure off the ball of my foot really well!!

If I position them right, I don't feel pressure from the pounding, and I am back to playing tennis without having to worry about how I step. The adhesive is strong and I find I only have to wash them every 2-3 days to bring back the stickiness. I am happy with the product!

Dancer''s pad for hallux limitis

I have worn these gel dancers pads on my right foot for a few years now and they are a lifesaver. I have an arthritic big toe joint with pain and limited movement. With the help of these pads, I have been able to walk 2-3 miles each day for exercise. Can't live without them!

Reusable 'wonderful' Gel Dancer's Pad

I'm no dancer, but this pad has saved the day. Diagnosed with sesamoiditis, I've tried other gel pads and even rx orthotics. This is by far my favorite.

Thicker padding doesn't mean more comfort.

I bought Reusable Gel Dancer's pads to ease the inflammation, and pressure on the balls of my feet. But got too greedy and bought the 1/4" inch ones. I would have appreciated a small blurb to think about why i was getting the thicker ones instead of the thinner 1/4" ones. I did use the thinner once I was given from the doctor's office prior to making my own purchase, and I would forget that they were even there. These thinker ones, help, but have become an unbearable nuisance. Great product, but I wish there was better guidance on what size to buy.

Gel Dancer's Pad Review

I chose the thicker pads to be used to treat my sesamoid pain. i think it was the right choice in that once I wear these for a while the pad is really un-noticeable makes my pain go away. And if I forget to wear the pads - not a good day.
Well made and easy to use. Seems to be all that it is marketed to be.

Reuseable gel dancer's pads

I ordered the thicker pads and they have been so helpful to me in my transition from an air cast that I had to wear for sesamoiditis that I got after a cheilectomy surgery. These pads allowed me to be on my feet longer during the day with little pain.
Thank you for developing this great product!

Life changing

I have had 6 foot surgeries and twice, the bones on the bottom of my foot have come through the metatarsal pad. Dancers pads have saved the day. I am able to use the elliptical, walk more than ever and have very reduced pain. This is a truly amazing and simple product that works.

I bought the pads and help me a lot to relieve the pain of the sesamoditis. I use it everyday but not to play sports. The adhesive is good but wears out after many uses and moves around my foot.

Reusable gel dancer pads

These pads work well, when they stay in the correct position. Unfortunately, this has occurred only once in all the times I have worn them. I don't know if my feet sweat excessively or what, but the pads do not stay in the correct position. They have moved to the arch of my foot, or over to the other side of the foot. The gel adhesive needs to be updated and made stronger. Even after washing the dance pads they still do not remain where they are supposed to remain.

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

After one bad day of wearing flats, I spent a year walking around with self-diagnosed sesamoiditis. I bought the 1/8" reusable dancer's pad about a month ago and have worn it directly on my foot daily. No pain when I wear it and I have noticed a small improvement from where I was when I walk barefoot (without the pad). They are most definitely reusable after washing, too. I can go about two weeks before the adhesive begins to wear down, wash it and swap it out for the 2nd (included) pad while it dries.

Uncomfortable

These felt heavy and awkward on my foot. After dancing for 15 min I had to take it off and replaced it with one of the less expensive pads which was more comfortable - in fact I bought more of the cheaper one twice since.

Excellent

I have had 6 foot surgeries and as a result bones break thru the padding and skin. I'm pretty active so you can imagine the issues this causes.
My choice, another surgery to shave the seamed bone or try these.
Results have been amazing. They protect, are reusable, well made and made a tremendous difference in pain from the moment I put it on.
Buy it. Use it.

Great for Sesamoiditis

Really helpful for my sesamoiditis pain. Previously, I was taping a felt pad to my foot, and this is much easier to use. It took a few tries to find the exact placement, but once I figured that out, I like it.

I had hoped to use this in conjunction with the carbon fiber spring plate, but that did not work for me.

A LIfe Saver

These last forever. I am a 67 year old ballroom dancer who developed pain in the metatarsal area of my right foot due to insufficient padding. The pain was so severe that I had to take 4 months off from dancing. I tried the 1/4 inch pads and was able to fully resume my dancing. Some dance shoes I had to get rid of because they wouldn't accommodate the pads. They worked better with my roomier shoes. I found out about them thanks to a review written by the mother of an Irish dancer who had a similar problem. These really work.

These Reusable Gel Dancers' Pads really work!

The Reusable Gel Dancer's pads are amazing, they work for me. I've tried a lot of other pads to ease the discomfort on the ball of my feet, and they are waste of money. Also I have slim feet, I use inserts to keep my feet in place. But these pads (especially the thick ones) are doing exactly the same thing.

Reusable Dancer's Pads

I had bunion surgery that went wrong and now I have sesamoiditis. Went to another foot surgeon and he recommended either reconstructive foot surgery to correct it or try dancer's pads. I chose not to have surgery and I am now totally dependent on Myfootshop's dancer's pads. They are much better than other pads out there. Without them, I wouldn't be able to put any weight on my foot.

I've had ball of the foot (right) for a very long time. Prior to purchasing pads, I was getting cortisone shots (at least three) every 6 mos. or so. Since purchasing and wearing pads when I start to hurt, I've had no shots and the pain goes away after wearing pads for a few days. Thanks Myfootshop for the relief!

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

I was struggling with sesamoiditis in both feet for two months without seeing any improvements. I had a ultramarathon approaching and decided to give Reusable Gel dancer's pads a try. I was utterly shocked when I had no pain after 50 miles of running. These pads were comfortable from the start without having to get use to them, and I never noticed them once during the entire 50 miles.

This product was a godsend for my feet!

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

I was diagnosed with arthritis in my big toe with surgery as an option to correct the problem. As a mom of a young child and an avid tennis player, surgery was absolutely NOT an option. After Googling my condition I came across Reusable Gel Dancer Pads and gave them a try. They redistribute the weight of the front of my foot and literally take the pressure off of my big toe. Result? NO MORE PAIN! A wonderful product!

Good Sesamoid Protection

I bought the 1/4" version and they do provide good cushion to prevent the sesamoids from bearing a lot of weight. They also adhere to the bottom of my feet and are relatively easy to manage under socks. My one complaint is that the material goes from slick to porous on the side touching the sole of my foot. Consequently, it is more difficult to clean off lint/dirt and seems like it is degrading. I haven't had them long, so I don't know if this is something that will subside and then maintain itself.

I am sure this particular item is excellent, but it wasn't so excellent for me. I should have purchased the thinner reusable pads. The one element of this product I like is that it is reusable, so I will try my hand at ordering the right thickness.

great product!

With really bad sesamoiditis in my right foot, it helped a lot for getting back into running. I will say 1/4" is, I think, too thick for normal walking and for a lot of standing. It is also a pain to get down the sweet spot of where to place it on your foot. Once you get it down, you are good to go!

I found these to be very firm and uncomfortable. I chose the thin ones, and they are so thin that the sesamoid joint was barely even given any relief and still had pressure on it when I walked. I much prefer the thicker, cushier felt option.

Dancers pad for fifth metatarsal

I purchased this dancers pad to relieve the pain and swelling on my fifth metatarsal. I had tried weeks of physical therapy which did not help. Myfootshop.com staff recommended this dancers pad and within 3 weeks of wearing it everyday, the swelling and pain were resolved. The pad really adheres well to the bottom of my foot and can be washed every few days...just follow the directions on the package insert. It is very comfortable when worn with socks and shoes. Thank you myfootshop.com staff for this excellent recommendation.

I've been a sidelined runner for 6 months with plantar plate derangement and metatarsalgia in general. If I had this product 6 months ago, I might not have been injured to this extent if at all. Day 1, I could put weight on the forefoot with almost no pain. Steady improvement continues and most of my symptoms are gone after only 3 weeks. Makes a big difference!

The thick pads have helped to heal my daughter's sesamoiditis. She wears the thick ones for walking around, but the thin ones did not work in her ballet slippers.

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

Have been suffering with sesamoiditis in left foot and was desperate for relief - every step hurt. Discovered these foot bads on line and decided to try them. Is like a MIRACLE. Have been using for abt 2 weeks and if i forget to put on and skip a day - I notice the difference and wish I'd have worn. And YES, you really can wash them and they DO keep their stickiness each time . you just place on your foot and adjust where feels best for you . I bought the 1/4 inch ( extra thick) because I figured the more cushioning , the better ... but actually I do think maybe the regular thickness might have been better sunce i can feel SLIGHTLY like im stepping on something or there is something under my foot . Ive gotten used to it and prefer it HANDS DOWN to no pad since the sesamoiditis isnt even noticeable with the pad-- Im just wondering what the " regular" thickness pad ( 1/8' ?) might have done same thing ? Shoes fit fine - no issue with that - and they wash nicely and easily .

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

I wear these pads daily. I suffer from sesamoiditis and avascular necrosis and working out WITHOUT these pads is not an option.

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

I developed sesamoiditis and these pads were a blessing. I would recommend them to any one suffering from this condition. They eased the pain while allowing me to continue with my regular activities. THey are reusable and comfortable. Thanks for carrying these.

Reusable Gel Dancer's Pads

I chose the thicker ones since I'm a guy and have a bigger foot. At first I thought they might be a little too thick but after wearing them for two days, I really do think it was the better choice. I have sesamoiditis and can tell a difference. I had a bit of success with the adhesive pads that my doctor had given me, but these are nice in that I can take them off to shower.

4 Use the comments section to describe your issue and how we can be of help.

5. If you wish to exchange a product for one that is a different price, please call us at 1-888-859-8901.

If you do not see the "Return Item(s)" button, this likely means that more than 30 days have elapsed since receipt of your products. Returns made after the 30-day window require prior authorization from Customer Service and will receive store credit rather than a refund.

Who pays for shipping? After submitting your refund/return request we will generate a return shipping label and email it to you at no cost. You will receive the label within one working day. Simply print the shipping label and use it for your return. Free return labels do not apply to international shipments.

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.

Manufacturers Defects: Defective products may be returned for replacement or credit up to 1 year from the date of purchase. 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. It is best to give us a call when you think a product is defective, so we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem.

Damage in shipment: We take every possible precaution to ensure that your order will arrive intact and undamaged. However, mistakes in the shipping chain do happen, so give us a call if your products arrive broken or damaged. After speaking with you, a replacement product will be forwarded to you right away.

Lost shipments: USPS and UPS have proven to be reliable methods of shipping, but occasionally packages do get lost. In our experience, most packages turn up after being accepted by a relative or neighbor. If USPS or UPS tracking are unable to confirm delivery of a package, we will reship the order. 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. Most shipments are eventually found during that 10 day period.

If USPS or UPS tracking confirms delivery to your zip code, we must assume that your package was indeed delivered. We will make every effort to help you contact your local postal or UPS branch to find out more information regarding your package. If a customer claims that they have not received their order, but USPS or UPS tracking confirms delivery to their zip code, Myfootshop.com cannot be held responsible and will not resend the order.

Contact us: If you have a question you wish to ask before you start the product return process, you can contact us through email, Live Chat, or by phone (1-888-859-8901). We're available between 8:30am and 4:00pm ET.
