ZenToes Metatarsal Pads Women, Ball of Foot Cushions, Heel Inserts for Women, Shoe Inserts for Morton's Neuroma and Sesamoiditis Support, Metatarsalgia Foot Pads, 2 Pairs

I fractured my sesamoid - these gel pads have been my best friend. I position the cutout so that it is right around the ball of my foot and it takes a lot of the pressure off of my seasmoid bone. They stay sticky for a long time and are easy to wash (they stay sticky). I feel that these have helped with my pain quite a bit by offloading the pressure off of the sesamoid. They are very sturdy - I have been using the same one for weeks. Also, they are gel (not fabric) so they don't get smelly in your shoes. If you have a sesamoid fracture or sesamoiditis, I would recommend you try these!

I bought two versions of stick-to-your-foot silicon pads to try to ease the inflammation/pain of Morton's Neuroma in my left foot. This is my favorite--distributes my weight away from the 3rd and 4th toes and is less noticeable in my shoes than the other--so I've been wearing the left pad every day for a few weeks (under a sock--haven't tried them in warm weather open shoes yet), washing it in lukewarm water every evening and letting it air dry. It was obviously not as sticky even within the first week but still stayed in place. Now it's barely sticky at all, though otherwise the pad is in excellent condition. I may purchase some sports tape adhesive to extend the use of it, see if that extends the use after the stickiness wears off. I don't want to have to repurchase these every month just to get two left pads and I also don't like the idea of waste--throwing away an otherwise perfectly usable chunk of silicon every few weeks.

Best foot pad I’ve found. Makes walking much more comfortable

not as good as the competitor product I used first... these don't stick to the skin as well, won't be buying again

Great item.

They’ve helped my foot pain greatly improve and would recommend them highly! Very simple solution!

Comfortable and make it easier to walk and stand on sore feet. I wear them under socks so they don't come off when putting shoes off and on.

These gel pads are easy to use, clean, and maintain, and unless your feet sweat crazily, they can stay in place for a long time. As someone else commented on them, you could rotate the pad to relieve the pressure at the 2nd MTP joint area; however, if you have issues on both locations (the 2nd MTP joint as well as sesamoids), then these pads won't work. I am thinking about cutting the pads out so that they can work for those two issues simultaneously, but I haven't tried that yet, because I am not sure if the gel inside may spill out once they are cut. If there is a way to modify this review later, I will try to update how it goes.
