Frequently Asked Questions
What are Poron Metatarsal Pads used for? +
Poron Metatarsal Pads are designed to cushion the area just behind the ball of the foot. They help redistribute pressure beneath the forefoot and provide additional cushioning around the metatarsal area.
Where should metatarsal pads be positioned? +
Metatarsal pads are generally positioned just behind the ball of the foot rather than directly underneath it. Correct placement allows the pad to support the area behind the metatarsal heads and help distribute pressure across the forefoot.
Placement requirements can vary, so guidance from a podiatrist may be helpful if you are unsure.
Will the pads stay in place? +
Yes. Each pad has a self-adhesive backing to help keep it positioned inside the shoe or on a removable insole during everyday wear.
Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the pad.
Which size should I choose? +
The Small, Medium and Large sizes refer to the dimensions and height of the pad rather than a specific shoe size. A larger pad provides broader forefoot coverage and has a slightly higher profile.
| Size | Width | Length | Peak height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 53 mm | 48 mm | 6 mm |
| Medium | 54 mm | 65 mm | 7 mm |
| Large | 60 mm | 65 mm | 8 mm |
The measurements are approximate. When choosing a size, consider the width of the forefoot, the amount of coverage required and the space available inside the shoe.
What material are the pads made from? +
The pads are manufactured from PPT® open-cell polyurethane foam. The breathable cushioning material is designed to absorb shock and retain its shape during use.
Can I use these in different shoes? +
The pads can be used in many types of footwear, including walking shoes, work shoes, casual footwear and sports shoes, provided there is enough room inside the shoe.
They may also be attached to a removable shoe insole, which can make positioning easier.
How many pads are included? +
Each packet contains 6 pairs, which is a total of 12 individual metatarsal pads.
