Moore Medical Right Beige Dancer Sesamoid Pad

Rebecca Harbst: Product is excellent. But packaging was overboard. Product pkg was 6 x 6, put in a cardboard box 8 x 10. So wasteful

Richard Weinberg MD: No longer seem to be available. McKesson bought Moore and seems to have ditched these pads altogether. The similar pads now being sold on Amazon from Dr. Jill's are fair but not as good as the pads formerly offered by Moore. Most manufacturers seem to be pushing customers to the new technology pads that are much more expensive and less effective.

aid: This is my third round of sesamoid trouble. Last time my doctor gave me a Hapad, which is similar to this pad but thicker. The Hapad took the stress off the sesamoid, but it was so thick that it felt like I was standing on a rock. This pad is perfect for my foot. I knew right away when reviewers were complaining about it being too thin that it would be a good fit for me. It is thin, but that's what I personally need. It sticks to the bottom of your foot. As soon as I put it on, I felt almost complete relief; my foot felt almost normal. After three days, the sesamoid area is no longer sore.
Because sesamoiditis takes so long to heal, I plan on using the pad in my sneakers for a month or two longer, then transitioning to another stiff-soled shoe (Alegria) with the pad, then gradually spending time without the pad, then very slowly going back to regular shoes. If you rest the sesamoid for a long time (months), in my experience it will heal completely. I only reaggravated it by bending my toe back doing yoga stretches - my toe just can't handle that particular thing anymore.
I think the type of pad you need just depends on your foot. This thinner pad is perfect for me; another...

Ryan: UPDATE 12/16/18: I went on a vacation this month where I was walking around barefoot almost constantly. The pain from my hallux limitus was acting up and my foot was really painful. The soreness persisted after the trip ended and I got back in to sneakers. After a few days back I decided to put on another pad before going out one night. The pain instantly went away. I can conclusively say that these alleviate the pain of walking around with hallux limitus (for me).

I got these items to try out how dancer pads feel. I have Hallux Limitus in my right foot but still try to be active. I'm not 100% sure if this product alleviates the discomfort from this problem. The item is a good size and the shape is consistent among all the pieces. The adhesive is fantastic and will hold for a while. If I put it on after a shower, it will stay in place up to 48hrs without coming loose (that's as long as I've gone between showers since ordering this, it might stay on for longer). My only problem with them is that the adhesive backing is VERY hard to peel off. I considered giving it 4 stars for the difficulty of getting this ready, but overall the item performs as it was intended so I won't...

Michael L. Merriman: I work 12-14 hour days where I walk on rocks most of the time. I limped around with a fractured sesamoid for about three weeks before I got these. I can't tell you how good it felt to put these on; the immediate relief they provided was wonderful. They stay in place during long days, even when I'm pushing things, or working with pretty wet (not soaked) boots. Great product, great relief.
