Did the Job, December 20, 2008
This review is from: Silipos Softzone Pure Gel Gel Metatarsal Pad #10465 (Health and Beauty)
I like to hike in Arizona and found that many times my metatarsal pads would take a beating, especially when doing a lot of hiking downhill. Uphill, not so bad. Downhill, the constant pounding on the feet was bad, to the point where one 15-mile hike left me with what I can only describe as internal tissue damage that eventually worked its way out about a month after the hike (along with external blisters). I had custom insets made by a foot doctor, used a variety of gel pads, combinations of socks, tape, mole skin, trekking poles, different hiking boots, and so on. Nothing eliminated the resulting agitated, sensitive metatarsal pads after each long hike.
Last month I tried these Silipos Pads on a tough 11-miler near Four Peaks and I finished the hike with no blisters or damage in the metatarsal area of either foot. So, I'm happy with this result and will continue to use these pads.

So much more comfortable, August 18, 2008
This review is from: Silipos Softzone Pure Gel Gel Metatarsal Pad #10465 (Health and Beauty)
When my podiatrist diagnosed me with a bruised metatarsal he gave me a foam pad, that helped for about 2 weeks and then I needed a new one. At $5 each plus a doctors visit that was getting expensive. I walk 10,000 steps a day so I put some mileage on my metatarsal pad. This Gel pad doesn't break down and wear out like the foam ones do, and it is much more comfortable.

Gel pad, October 28, 2008
This review is from: Silipos Softzone Pure Gel Gel Metatarsal Pad #10465 (Health and Beauty)
I ordered this due to developing pain in the ball of my foot. I'm sure it because I'm too fat and old. The good news is it worked great. Stays in place. Can be worn over and over with different shoes.
I am very satisfied with it.
