Morton's Neuroma Pads, 100 Pads
Medical grade felt Neuroma / Metatarsal / Ball of Foot Cushion Pad
Specially Designed for Foot Neuromas
Off load Morton's Neuroma ball of the foot pain.
Neuroma Metatarsal Pads are meant to relieve pressure on the pinched nerve in between the metatarsal heads (ball of foot).
Relieve pressure and stress on the metatarsal joints to "float" the pinched intermetatarsal nerve by spreading the ball of foot with our pads.
These foot pads decrease pain and pressure on foot callus, joints, sesamoids, Morton's neuroma.
Our Neuroma Ball of Foot pads are medical quality foot products, made in the USA.
Place the foot pads just below the metatarsal heads to optimum relief.
The Importance of Placement: Behind, Not Under
The success of a felt neuroma pad is entirely dependent on its correct placement. A common mistake is placing the pad directly under the painful area, which would only increase the pressure on the nerve and worsen the symptoms.
The Golden Rule of Placement:
The pad must be positioned just proximal (behind) the metatarsal heads, not directly underneath the ball of the foot.

Ball of the foot pain
Placing a felt Morton's Neuroma pad (which is a type of metatarsal pad) correctly is crucial for relieving pain. The key is to position the pad so it supports the bones just behind the painful area, not directly underneath it.
Here is a step-by-step guide for proper placement on the skin or shoe
👣 The Goal of Placement
The pad works by slightly lifting and separating the bones (metatarsal heads) in the forefoot, which reduces the pinching pressure on the nerve (neuroma).
📐 Step 1: Identify the Painful Spot
Locate the pain: Find the area on the ball of your foot where you feel the most discomfort, burning, or tingling. This is typically between the 3rd and 4th toes, but it can be between the 2nd and 3rd.
Mark the spot: For best accuracy, you can use a small mark with a pen or lipstick on the skin of your foot right at the center of the painful area.
👟 Step 2: For Applying to the Shoe.
Remove the insole: Take the insole out of your shoe. If you marked your foot with lipstick or a pen, stand on the insole to transfer the mark.
Find the placement area: The pad must be placed just behind the ball of your foot—meaning it should not sit directly under the metatarsal heads (the "knuckles" at the base of your toes).
Use the mark as a guide:
If you have a mark, the pad should be positioned proximal (closer to the heel/arch) to that mark.
The front edge of the pad should be placed right at the back of the painful spot, supporting the area of your foot just before the ball of the foot begins to bear weight.
Walk and evaluate: Walk around for a few minutes. You should feel the pad supporting the arch of your forefoot and a noticeable reduction in pain at the site of the neuroma.
If it's uncomfortable or you feel pressure under the ball of your foot: The pad is likely too far forward. Peel it off and move it slightly back (toward the arch/heel).
If you feel no difference: The pad may be too far back. Move it slightly forward.
Find the "Sweet Spot": The ideal position will offer maximum relief and feel like it's lifting the area just behind the painful spot.
Step 4: Secure the Pad
Once you find the position that offers the most comfort and relief:
Outline the neuroma pad on the insole with a pen.
Remove the insole from the shoe.
Peel off the remaining adhesive backing and firmly press the pad onto the insole, aligning it with your outline.
If applying directly to your foot for a Morton's Neuroma, use the above guide and stick the pad to the skin.
