234#$%: Update: In case anyone is not impressed by three weeks use without loss of stickiness, I thought I'd update. I've now been using that same one of these pads for approaching 6 months, cleaning exactly as described below, and there has been absolutely no loss at all of it's ability to stick firmly to my foot all day (BTW, I do wear socks over it). It feels just as sticky as the day I first used it.

I had 2 surgeries on the same foot last year, the second of which was to repair a tendon the surgeon managed to sever during the first surgery :( As that second surgery was a major soft tissue repair I have had a huge amount of swelling - it has come down a lot but after 6 months there is still a significant amount. One consequence of the swelling is that the ball of my foot is a little enlarged and that has led to some discomfort in that area when walking. I've been using one (and only one) of these pads for almost three weeks now and have found it to be extremely comfortable (my ball of foot discomfort was immediately eliminated). One key feature is the ability to place directly on the foot, which means that you can easily experiment until you find the perfect spot for you (it...

cb: This is a great product, but I can't wear it with shoes. It is soooo thick, it is uncomfortable with shoes. However, it does fine if I'm in the house with just socks.

JNLA: In the past year I developed a painful neuroma on my left foot. I've worn orthotics or insoles for better than 15 years and still a double neuroma. Some days I can barely walk around the block with our dog.

After watching Youtube videos I learned a "properly placed pad" will redistribute weight off the injured nerve. I placed the pad beginning as the arch declines forward towards the ball of my foot. Experiment for your best result.
The first pads sounded good in the ad but were too thin to provide relief. These are offered in ⅛" and ¼". I bought the ¼" and WOW! R-E-L-I-E-F in a big way. I'm still keeping my foot doctor appointment in two weeks to learn my options before this neuroma gets worse.

A. Fisher: I have a very painful callus on the ball of my left foot. I had been using the type of callus pads that are felt, and have a hole in the center of them that is placed over the callus. The surrounding cushion keeps the pressure off of the callus that way and protects it. I didn't like having to replace them constantly, which ends up costing a lot of money, so I decided to try this type of cushion instead.

This is NOT the right kind of cushion to use if you have a sore callus! In spite of the description saying that it is for ball of foot pain, it made the pain WORSE, not better! It is a bit too thick to start with, and makes your shoes too snug. When you walk on it, there is even more pressure on the sore callus, which causes even more pain. The callus needs the cushion to be surrounding it, not on top of it. I couldn't wait to remove it! THAT was the worst part of the experience! It was so difficult to remove. It felt like my skin was being removed along with the cushion! Afterwards, the ball of my foot was very irritated.

The felt cushions can be difficult to remove also, sometimes, but at least they protect the callus from any pressure put on it because of the hole...
