Podotech Central Metatarsal Pads for Express Kits

Having customised insoles is great to getting the support and comfort that you need, but finding that comfort can be difficult. The Podotech Central Metatarsal Pads for Express Kits are designed to provide comfort and support across the metatarsal area.

Who Can Benefit from the Central Metatarsal Pads?

The central metatarsal pads are designed to provide additional support for anyone who requires the support in the metatarsal area of the foot. The pad is designed for use with the express kits so can be positioned to provide additional relief to this area of the foot.

The Central Metatarsal Pad has a moderate rise to it to help position the foot and provide weight distribution and relief of pressure. This encourages natural alignment of the foot and provides relief from pain and discomfort in this area.

Features of the Central Metatarsal Pads

The central metatarsal pads are available in a variety of sizes to ensure that you find the best size to suit your needs.

The pads have a hardness of 15 - 20 Shore A.

Alongside the recommendation and guidance of a podiatrist, the Podotech Express Kit allows you to tailor and customise a flat insole using a range of different bespoke orthotic components. To find out more, please take a look at the link below:

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.
