Review on Pack Of 2 PediFix Gel Pads For Ball-Of-Foot Comfort by Nick Gathings

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as sticky or as cushioned as I had hoped

The previous gel pads I used were old and had lost their stickiness, so I needed a new pair. The old gel pads were shaped differently, but I thought these triangular shaped pads might be worth a try. First off, they are not as sticky as my previous pair, so I suspect they will not last as long. For now, they are staying stuck to my foot, but not completely. Also, I rotated the pads approximately 90 degrees so that the longer edge is lined up with my big toe. This seems to work better and covers the whole ball of my foot. I recommend that position instead of what the photo shows in the description. Lastly, they are not as cushioned as my previous pair, so it's not helping with the pain as much as I'd like.I've also discovered that when wearing gel pads like these, that I also need a little extra arch support, since increasing the thickness at the ball of the foot causes my arch to be a bit strained. I simply put on an arch sleeve and that solves the problem.In conclusion, I would probably not buy these again, as the cushioning is not as good as it could be, and the lack of stickiness means they won't last long either.

Pros
  • Prevents pressure
Cons
  • The pads can make shoes feel overly tight
