Product Description

Size: US WOMEN9/MEN6/EU 39

COMFORT: Pain and burning in the front part of the foot are preliminary symptoms of "splayfoot" or flattening of the metatarsal arch. Pedag Comfort, made of vegetable tanned leather, supports the metatarsal bones and keeps them in the anatomically correct position-helping to relieve discomfort and prevent further problems. A heel pad absorbs shock. Awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. The Pedag merges 3 elements: Nature, Science and Technology to produce products that are good for the modern foot. Nature is found in Pedag's use of high quality natural materials such as vegetable tanned leather, pure cotton, wool, sisal, water based adhesives and active carbon and silver ions for odor control. Science is found in Pedag's use of supportive, anatomically correct footbeds and inserts that support the arches, muscles and ligaments of the foot. Supporting the foot adequately provides a base from which to support the ankles, hips and spine. Pedag orthotics stress Support rather than simple Cushioning. You will find Pedag orthotics that address: Heel pain, fallen arches, spreading feet, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Pronation and Supination, different leg lengths, Achilles Tendonitis and many other foot problems. Pedag insoles (orthotic or plain) allow the foot to breathe inside the shoe, keeping feet and shoes fresh. Did you know the foot produces a shot glass of perspiration daily. Insoles that absorb moisture, breathe and prevent odor are necessary for healthy feet. Technology is found in Pedag's modern manufacturing facilities in Germany (even though much of the production of our insoles is still done by hand), stringent quality controls and introduction of cutting edge technologies such as nano ions of silver for permanent odor prevention in several of our insoles and an innovative new material to insulate against cold.

The item I got was listed as a US women's 9 but is actually a Euro size 39 (which is the equivalent of a US women's 8.5). I recommend ordering one size up, as a US half-size too small can mean the cushion makes contact with the wrong part of your foot and it can also shift around in your shoe while you are moving. This can cause rather than relieve pain. Wound up returning mine for that reason.

Also, if you are experiencing foot pain, for the love of three oranges, DON'T go with Amazon Super Saver shipping. I waited a week for the delivery, which isn't bad for some things, but for pain relief seems like a lifetime.

This review is from: Pedag 142 Comfort 3/4 Leather Orthotic with Supportive Metatarsal Pad and Heel Cushion, Tan, Women's 10/Men's 7 (Health and Beauty)

I bought these on the advice of a friend who does ultraruns. I was having burning, stabbing pain and numbness on ball of foot- these work so well! At first I thought "these feel weird and will not work" but did a fast 18 miler with heavy pack and they helped a LOT. I am buying more pairs for more shoes. Great German quality and an affordable alternative to $$$ custom orthotics.

I have horrible metatarsal pain in both feet and bought these. In my opinion they feel like rocks under the balls of your feet..extremely uncomfortable. I just could

not wear them at all. A waste of $18 or whatever.
