Langer Metatarsal Pads

Getting specific care for foot conditions is an incredibly important part of getting the right insole. The Langer Metatarsal Pads have been developed to provide extra support to the metatarsals when used with Langer PPT insoles.

Features of the Langer Metatarsal Pads

The metatarsal pads provide extra support to the metatarsals, cushioning the metatarsal heads and giving them extra protection .

Who Can Benefit from Langer Metatarsal Pads?

The extra support to the metatarsals the pads provide enables them to give relief for:

• Metatarsalgia
• Capsulitis
• Neuroma
• Atrophy of the fat pad

They're also suitable for other painful conditions of the metatarsal area.

Are These Metatarsal Pads Suitable for Atrophy of the Fat Pad?

A thinning fat pad can be the cause of a lot of pain and discomfort in your forefoot. By offering additional cushioning and support to this area of your foot, these metatarsal pads help to reduce pain and discomfort.

Where Should I Apply the Metatarsal Supports?

These metatarsal supports should be placed at the front of your metatarsal area, just behind your toe joints. The flatter edge should be positioned just behind your metatarsal heads at the ball of your foot, with the tapered edge resting at the beginning of your arch and pointing towards your heel. The diagram below shows a general guide that will vary based on your insoles and foot shape.

For Langer PPT Insoles

The metatarsal pads have been developed for the Langer PPT range of insoles, and should not be used with other insoles. Please note that this component must be fitted by a medical professional. 

The metatarsal pads are available in three different sizes, to match the size of the insole it should be used with.

The Langer Metatarsal Pads come in a pack of six pairs.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
