Fumarst Metatarsal Sleeve Pads: Soft Gel Cushioning for the Ball of Your Foot

BayBoater: Had a pain in the upper, center of one foot for several months that would worsen when wearing shoes with little cushion. My research led to trying this pad to alleviate the pain, and hopefully allow it to heal.
Initially putting-on the pad was easy. But, slipping my foot into shoes with little extra space was cramped. And, pulling the pad into the best position meant the elbow pushed uncomfortably between my big and second two.
It did seem to reduce the pain as intended, much to my relief. But, wearing it can cause discomfort, hence my overall moderate rating. And, if walking in uneven surfaces, when you shoe slides around, it can slide out of place a bit, bunching up.
I will continue to wear it when I know I'll be walking a lot, especially on flat/even surfaces. Perhaps search for an alternative to try as well.

M. Sordo: These metatarsal sleeve pads DO NOT FIT. Never mind the “one size fits all” description - they slide off when I walk even a little. This is the 2nd time that I’ve attempted to buy these on Amazon, and the 2nd time they’ve been too small. I’m going to have to shop elsewhere for them - somewhere that offers different sizes.

Alexandria ramos: My dr recommended these for me and I was really excited to try them. The gel is super comfortable and really helps with the pain on my feet. My only complaint is that the sock is really stretchy and I feel like if it came with the option to choose a size I would have needed a xs one so that it stayed tight around my feet. It does move when I walk which makes it frustrating because I can’t fully enjoy the comfort of them when I’m constantly having to pull the sock up because it’s slipping

MeaRoyals: I ordered these because of a unbearable pain in my left foot I came to find out was a bunion. Never have I such cumbersome ache in my feet and I was a Bartender on my feet for 12 plus hours a day! when researching this pain I discover that from not wearing arch supported shoes such as sandals or flip flops your bones in your foot and side of your big toe spread out of place causing a painful disinformation and one way of correcting that was to push it back into place with a halve sleeve like this one. I wore it for one week before writing this review so I can be sure of it doing what it claimed. Yes it does and is fixing my bunion However it hurt coming out of place so going back in is yes the same . I had to ease into how long i used the sleeve but immediately could feel it pulling the bone into place it felt good! But after bout a hour it became painful so i just increased the time every other day by 15 minutes at night to get use to the change and its working great! I cant stress enough how it is worth the mild discomfort at night (which is lessening each night ) to get rid of this pain for good! the arch support gels were a Bonus that i use daily and I will not be wearing...

KSCBookAddict: So, upfront, I did not buy these metatarsal sleeves because of my metatarsals. I bought them because of warts. A few months ago, I noticed that what I thought was a large callous on my left foot (which no amount of soaking/pumice stone could get rid of) was actually a cluster of plantar warts. So, I started a regimen of Compound W bandaids with plenty of athletic wrap to keep them on my foot (since I'm on my feet a lot for work). Now, I discovered over time that even with athletic tape and medical tape, enough movement and sweat moves the bandaids and thus the medication from the warts. Irritating.

While I've seen a lot of improvement with the wart situation, I still wanted to find a foot sleeve of some kind that would hug my foot and keep the bandages in place no matter what, and these sleeves are perfect. They are very nice quality, soft, strong fabric with built-in gel cushions that really do make a difference with how my feet feel while walking, which I think is a fantastic bonus on top of my other foot-related issues. I have no arches to speak of, so I have foot pain a lot on both heels and the front balls of my feet. I incidentally found some work shoes that help with...
