The picture of these pads on the website is completely deceiving. They DO NOT stay in place like the model is showing. They flop all over the place. These had to have been double-sided taped to her foot for the photo ...which is false advertising to you and me.
I wore these once sockless with VANS and they were horrible, shifted all over the place. You must wear a sock to hold these in place AND as you are pulling on your sock, you need to wedge your fingers in between the bottom of your foot and the sock to hold the gel pad in place. This is NOT so easy to do. If you have any issues with the joints in your hands, then these pads are definitely NOT for you. It takes several tries for me to get them in the right spot. If you're female and you've ever worn breast "petals" from Victoria Secret...they are similar in texture, but these will NOT adhere to your skin. There is ZERO adhesion until your foot gets very sweaty. If they made the underneath side like VS breast petals, honestly they would probably work!
But some shoes just don't look good with socks...example TOMS, slip-on sneakers, or flats...so these pads are useless.
When I wore tennis shoes with socks and did get them placed correctly they relieved some pain on the ball of my foot for a short time....then they compressed/shifted and made no pain relief difference...other than feeling weird. Sadly, there is a no return policy (which should have been my first clue). When a company has a product that works they stand behind it. The website description says if you are unhappy the company will work with you to find a solution, but I do not see a link to make this connection. I even paid extra for same day shipping ~ very disappointed. My advice in this review is to SAVE your money and try another style. I've already reordered a different type of pad and they're arriving today....I'll review those as well because foot pain is awful and we should help each other find the best products out there.
There are two things I find fault with. First, like others, it is difficult to keep this in place when you put your foot in your shoe. It will slide around. I used someone else's suggestion of using medical tape to secure in place. That works but it is tedious having to do this every time you wear them. Second, I can't be the only one who is totally bugged by the toe loop. Either my toes are extra sensitive from the pain in the ball of my foot or mine are just made wrong. It drove me nuts!
My overall solution? I snipped off the toe loop and removed the soles of my shoe. I determined where the ball of my foot would be placed and then I used medical tape to tape the pad to the sole and then reinserted it in my shoe. It stays and you don't have to do the tape thing every time. Of course, if you need these for multiple pairs of shoes, you will need to buy more of these.
I tried another, similar, style that had 'holes' in the pad, like a mesh, but made of the same gel material. They were pretty comfortable too. Same issue with adjusting after your put your socks on.
The 3rd style was a heavy duty ace-bandage-type fabric with very heavy seams. The big toe went in one hole and the other four toes when in the 2nd hold. I though, great! this won't slip! and it didn't but it hurt my toes so badly I hand to take them off. It left deep red indentations in my pinky toe, big toe and top of my foot. The padded part was also much smaller. I have size 10 (women's) feet and they are normal wide. I think that time of pad is only good for very small feet.
