Dr. Scholl’s Pain Relief Orthotics for Ball of Foot Pain, 1 Pair - One size fits all

They do not stick well, I have double sided tape that holds them in place just fine. kind of surprised the quality of the adhesive is not that great. They’re in my running shoes and my walking shoes, they really seem to help as has cured about 95% of the annoying pain

I bought these because the balls of my feet hurt horribly after long hour shifts standing on my feet all day. I took the plastic off the back where the adhesive was, and I there was practically nothing. They had enough adhesive to hold on to the plastic, but they were never going to stick to my soles. I knew going in these things had poor adhesive, but I didn't realize they were this bad. I got some gorilla glue, put some on the back and put them on the soles, put some weight on them and let them sit over night. They say you're supposed to put them on the sole behind the balls of your feet, so I did. They specifically mentioned not to put it directly under the balls of your feet, so I didn't. I followed the directions. I wore them for two hours and the balls of my feet hurt so bad, I had to go home, change shoes, and go back to work. They also were cutting off circulation to my toes, so I couldn't just keep them on. Next day I tried again, but I ripped the inserts off my soles (tearing the soles by the way) and moved them back towards my heel more. Same thing; loss of circulation to my toes, and now they were back far enough to were I couldn't wear them again because they were hurting my arches. I threw them away. Now I have a torn sole, their gel for the padding is stuck to the sole, I'm out $12, and my feet hurt worse than they did without them. Please do not buy.

These are not as good as the discontinued Spenco pads. The adhesive is week and the pads must be put in place with 3M double sided tape. If I could still get the Spenco pads I would never use these. I just haven't found anything else.

I play pickleball and recently my feet have been acting up and I occasionally get pain. I started using these pads in addition to strengthening and massaging my foot muscles, and the pain has disappeared completely. I believe these pads are very effective. However, the adhesive is very weak and they don't stick to the insoles at all, so I had to sew them on by hand. That's why I gave a 4 star. After attaching them with thread, they doesn't move around inside the shoe and can be used without any problems, however. Placement of these pads is extremely important. If you don't sew them close to the arch (not at the base of the toes or the metamarsal area), it will put stress on the metamarsal area and cause more pain, so be careful when deciding where to place them. I initially bought these at my local CVS and they cost over $15/pair, so it's much cheaper to buy them on Amazon.

After overdoing treadmill and elliptical machine in my old running shoes, I began having metatarsal pain in my left foot. It got to the point where even wearing cushioned slippers was not enough to prevent the pain. At first I used gel cushions under the ball of my foot, which seemed to help but these things were what really did the trick!! I was skeptical, not really thinking that wearing a cushion behind the area I was experiencing the pain would help... but I was so wrong!! These things allowed me to continue moderate cardio as i healed, and after a couple weeks all pain was gone even without the inserts!! Be sure you place them in the correct position behind the ball of your foot but before your arch. They DO NOT go underneath the ball of your foot like a cushion! They work by spreading your toe bones out and need to go just behind the ball of your foot. I also use arch support inserts and stuck these babies onto the end of them so I was able to wear both my heel/arch support insert and these things at the same time. In the beginning they do take some practice to get into the right position and then getting them to stay while you put your foot into the shoe. I loosened my laces all the way so I could be sure I placed them in the right position. Then I very carefully slid my feet in while holding onto the pad under my foot. I stood and tied my laces. I never had them move around as I wore them, whether I was jogging or doing the elliptical, etc. The first few times they did want to scoot around as I took my shoes on and off so I would reposition it and hold it in place when putting my feet in. But the more I wore them the more they stuck. After a few times, they stayed in place on their own but I can still take them out if I want. Whatever the bottom stuff is, it doesn't feel very sticky, but it works. Love these things!!! Just read the directions and watch a YouTube video if necessary to ensure you wear them correctly and to see tips!

Despite my best attempts to prepare my shoe, I could not get these to stick or stay in place. They were very hard to position correctly in the first place then moved as soon as I put my foot in the shoe. I think the only way to use these would be to sew them in between two layers of socks somehow.

Made my new boots so much more comfortable. Now I put them in all new shoes with heels.

I’ve been putting up with terrible pain in my feet for months now. I have always had flat feet. Some people only have no longitudinal arch. I also don’t have the transverse arch - never have. And now I’ve developed bunions because of this. I saw these and thought I’d give it a try before having to invest in orthotics. The problem with orthotics is that I work from home and so very seldom wear shoes (I know lucky me-not as much as you’d think). So I thought I’d actually tape these on the bottoms of my feet for around the house. Voila! My feet felt better within days. So now I’ve ordered more to actually stick in my shoes.

These wee pads are a god send for my feet, no pain now!

okay product
