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.

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.

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.Silipos Softzone Pure Gel Gel Metatarsal Pad #10465

these are so comfortable and easy to use, they really help when I wear shoes or boots that I can't fit my custom orthos in. I recommend these if you are having any of the same problems that I am, as I have mortons neuroma.

Bought this product at my podiatrist's recommendation for Morton's neuroma caused by long distance running. I had previously tried pads from the drugstore, but they didn't help. When I tried these, I was finally able to run pain free the first time in months.

This product probably does an adequate job at protecting your metatarsal, but you really need a larger shoe for it to work. The added bulk of the pad itself and then the toe loop probably requires you go up half a size or more. I was unable to use it because I wanted it for my dress pumps. Couldn't even get my foot inside the shoe.

I bought these foot pads for my husband who had terrible pain in the ball of his foot, and some burning in his toes. These pads were comfortable for him to wear, and gave him tremendous relief. I would recommend these pads to anyone-they do help.

This product seems effective, but it's very fragile. The ring that attaches to the toe broke after about a week of use. Be careful putting it on and taking it off.

I was tired of buying metatarsal pads that just slipped out of position and bunched up at one side or the other of my shoe, but I was concerned about the toe loop on this model. I was worried that it would be flimsy or uncomfortable.

Well, the toe loop appears to be sturdy, and, after the first ten minutes, I stopped noticing it altogether. Best of all I was able to spend several hours walking on concrete without pain. The pad stayed in place with no slippage or pulling at all.

My only complaint is that it appears you can only buy this item in pairs. I only need the pad for my right foot so I'm wasting money and adding to the landfills by having to buy a left pad to get a right pad. If it weren't for that, I'd give this item all five stars.

Pads tore about inch and half toward the inner concentric rings. I overlapped duct tape on the outside about 1/4 inch and continue to use them.....though not as often. I average 40 to 50 running miles week. They do seem to help the tingling and numbness in my left foot (Morton's neuroma????).
