Metatarsal Shoe Cushions are durable foam pads designed to cushion the ball-of-foot area and reduce pressure inside your shoes. These adhesive-backed pads stay in place, helping to minimize foot movement and provide extra protection for thin-soled footwear. This product is sold as a 2-Pk and is one size fits most, making it a option for shared footwear, care settings, or personal daily use.
The pads are simple to use: just place them inside your shoes where you need extra support. The adhesive backing helps prevent calluses and reduces friction as you walk, offering lightweight relief for the ball of the foot. They are suitable for most casual and work footwear, particularly those with thinner soles that benefit from added cushioning.
