ZenToes Dancer Pads 4 Count Gel Cushions Protect and Relieve Metatarsal, Sesamoid, Ball of Foot Pain - 2 Pairs

This product has been a lifesaver. I workout 6 days a week. Between the punishment of running, doing various agility training exercises, country swing dancing and wearing heels to work every day, I had developed large hard masses under my skin in the padded area just below my first three toes. It was so painful it felt like I had big rock in my shoe at all times. I couldn’t escape the pain any time I put weight on the foot. I thought I was going to need to have it surgically removed and not be able to do all the activities I enjoy. I tried these pads to see if it could offer relief until I got a surgical consult. After wearing them consistently for a few weeks, it seemed as though the mass was smaller. Being skeptical at first, I decided to give it more time. By the 2 month mark the mass was almost completely gone. I have since ordered more of these. One pair I have attached to the heels I wear. They stay in place all day. The other pair I attach to my feet l and then put socks on as normal for my athletic shoes or boots. No problems with them shifting or coming off. To wash them, I simply run them under warm water with a small amount of a gentle cleanser so as to not degrade the adhesive properties. I, then tap them dry with a towel and resecure them to my feet or heels. I definitely recommend these. Buy multiple packs. You won’t me disappointed.

I bought two versions of stick-to-your-foot silicon pads to try to ease the inflammation/pain of Morton's Neuroma in my left foot. This is my favorite--distributes my weight away from the 3rd and 4th toes and is less noticeable in my shoes than the other--so I've been wearing the left pad every day for a few weeks (under a sock--haven't tried them in warm weather open shoes yet), washing it in lukewarm water every evening and letting it air dry. It was obviously not as sticky even within the first week but still stayed in place. Now it's barely sticky at all, though otherwise the pad is in excellent condition. I may purchase some sports tape adhesive to extend the use of it, see if that extends the use after the stickiness wears off. I don't want to have to repurchase these every month just to get two left pads and I also don't like the idea of waste--throwing away an otherwise perfectly usable chunk of silicon every few weeks.

These metatarsal pads work well. You do need to rinse them off each night. But so far the adhesion is still working and they are providing relief for my ball of foot pain.

This product is great in theory but it does not stick and stay in one place so relief is short lasting and then the pad wanders to different parts of the foot. Even tried medical paper tape and it broke free and still slipped around (and that is just walking about the house in socks)

I bought this to relieve pressure where the natural pad on the ball of my foot had decreased and moved forward over time. I intended to just use this when dancing but I found it's helpful even for walking in sock feet or in other shoes without pain. The material is soft, flexs with my foot motion and is thick enough to give enough cushion without making my shoes fit too tight. I've tried several foot pads and inserts and this is the best! Many are too thin or move in the shoe. I think it's the cut out design and type of adhesion to my skin that helps it work so well.I peel it off my foot at end of day and lightly wash it with soap and water, dabbing it lightly to dry and let it completely air dry overnight adhesion side up. Next morning it again sticks nicely to my foot and stays there all day. Relieves any pressure when dancing and because it sticks to my foot, it's easy to switch shoes while retaining the pad on my foot.
