Review on 4 PCS Metatarsal Pads & Toe Separator - New Material, Breathable & Soft Gel For Diabetic Feet, Blisters And Forefoot Pain (White) by Adam Gardner

Edited on April 26, 2021: The pain relief on the ball of my foot is pretty significant. I got a new puppy and have been walking even more and I’m convinced I wouldn’t be able to do it if I didn’t have these. At least not without pain. I’ve done 10k+ steps every day for a week, I walked for two hours yesterday, and while I still have some pain it is not even close to stopping me like I know it would be otherwise. Any big day of walking would give me a lot of grief, but now I am doing a big day every day and it’s no big deal.I bought these specifically for toe separation, and I don't think it works as well for that as I'd like. The metatarsal pad was an afterthought, but I thought it would be nice and I was pleasantly surprised that it does really seem to offer pretty good cushion. Especially considering that it seemed pretty minimal on first glance. I have fatty pad atrophy, so there isn't much left to protect my foot, so it was a bonus even though the toe separator function isn't as pronounced as I'd prefer.They do fit inside my sneakers, which is an added bonus. I gave a 4 for comfort, as the material leaves a bit to be desired but maybe some foot powder can decrease the slight irritation I feel.I was pleasantly surprised that they do appear to stay put while in a shoe. They seem to want to move out of place more while barefoot though.
