The parts

What each part does

A soft knit band carries five oval holes, one for each toe, and a padded oval sits underneath it, bound with a neat stitched edge all the way round.

  • Five oval holes, one toe through each
  • Padded oval under the ball of the foot
  • Neat stitched binding all the way round

The fit

It pulls on like a sock

The knit band stretches over the forefoot and grips it, so these ball of foot cushions stay under the ball of the foot instead of creeping forward as you walk.

  • Knit band grips across the forefoot
  • All five toes stay free
  • Wear it on bare skin or under tights

In the shoe

Inside the shoe, on the foot

The metatarsal pad goes onto the foot first and the shoe goes on over it, so there is no adhesive to stick down and no insole to cut to shape.

  • Worn on the foot, inside the shoe
  • No adhesive and nothing to trim
  • Out of sight once the shoe is on

Any shoe

One pair, the whole shoe rack

At 0.3cm thin the ball of foot pad goes into the shoe on the foot rather than on top of it, so one pair covers a court shoe, a flat and an everyday trainer.

  • Court shoes, sits inside and out of sight
  • Flats and loafers, the fit does not change
  • The same pad in an everyday trainer

The material

Soft knit on top, cushion underneath

The band is soft knitted nylon with a fine stretch weave, and the underside carries a thicker padded oval, so each forefoot pad sits between the foot and the sole of the shoe.

  • Soft knitted nylon band
  • Thicker padded oval underneath
  • Fine stretch weave, neat edges

Comfort under
every step.

A five-hole knitted band and a thin cushioned pad that sits under the ball of the foot, sold as one pair to a pack, sized to go inside flats, heels and trainers.
