Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do the metatarsal pads reduce pressure on the forefoot?
The pads create a cushioning layer beneath the forefoot, evenly redistributing pressure and reducing overload on the metatarsal heads during walking or standing.
When are these pads especially useful?
They are particularly useful in cases of metatarsalgia, when wearing high heels or tight shoes, or for professionals and athletes who spend long hours standing or walking.
How do they help prevent calluses or inflammation?
The gel material minimizes friction and absorbs micro-shocks, protecting the skin from repetitive stress that could lead to irritation or callus formation.
Why choose these pads over full gel insoles?
Unlike full insoles, these pads provide targeted relief under the forefoot only, without altering arch or heel support. They fit easily into most shoes without requiring size adjustments.
How do they affect gait and balance?
They enhance foot stability by reducing discomfort during movement, supporting a more natural and relaxed gait without compensatory posture changes.
