Metatarsal pads

Metatarsal pads are designed to support the metatarsal due to the elevation they provide, ideal for eliminating calluses and reducing pain caused by standing. They are designed to fit discreetly inside the shoe, providing anti-vibration protection and support where it is needed most. Metatarsal insoles are usually made of soft, protective materials that conform to the shape of the feet, such as leather or silicone. They are available in different sizes to fit different foot sizes and shoe types and are suitable for people of all ages and activity levels.

Metatarsal pads work by providing additional support and shock absorption to the metatarsal area of the foot. During walking or standing the body weight is distributed over the metatarsal bones, where excessive pressure can lead to pain and discomfort. Metatarsal pads are placed in the shoe to help redistribute the weight and relieve pressure on the metatarsal bones. In doing so, they help relieve pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as Morton's neuroma, metatarsalgia, and plantar fasciitis.

Metatarsal pads offer a number of benefits to people suffering from pain and discomfort. Firstly, their use relieves the pain and discomfort that can be caused by standing, providing targeted support, reducing pain, and improving overall comfort. In addition, they improve foot alignment by supporting the arch of the foot and preventing overpronation (excessive inward rolling) or underpronation (excessive outward rolling) when walking or running. At the same time, they enhance shock absorption due to the materials they are made of - particularly beneficial for athletes or people involved in activities involving running or jumping. Finally, they offer versatility as they are designed to fit discreetly within various types of footwear, allowing for long hours of use regardless of shoe type or occasion.
