1. What is a metatarsal pad? It is a foot comfort sleeve with an inlay between two layers of soft fabric, designed to relieve pressure, friction, and shear force on the bunions and ball of the foot. It discreetly protects against ankle pain and the sensitive metatarsal area of the forefoot. 2. Application: Eliminates forefoot pain and calluses with maximum cushioning and comfort while protecting the ball of the foot from impacts. The plastic foot pad cushions and supports hammer toes, claw toes, mallet toes, arthritis, and bentunder toes. It eases pressure on the toe tips and relieves stress on the metatarsal area. 3. Corrects toe alignment – Provides support for overlapping toes, hammer toes, claw toes, and mallet toes. Encourages proper toe positioning and gently realigns toes to reduce pain, friction, and irritation for comfortable relief. Also reduces pressure on the tips and tops of toes for additional pain relief. 4. Fits snugly in most shoes – Features an adjustable loop to gently promote proper alignment while a soft double separator cushions the ball of the foot, reducing friction between the toes.
