Product Details

Podotech Polyurethane Metatarsal Pads for Express Kits

When it comes to customising your own insoles, it can be hard to find the components that you require. The Podotech PU Metatarsal Pads are designed to stay in place when inserted in the shoe, offering a high rise level of support to help with the alignment of the foot and to take the pressure of the metatarsal area.

Who Can Benefit from the PU Metatarsal Pad?

Metatarsal pain is often caused by the pressure on this area of the foot. The high rise metatarsal pad therefore helps to distribute the weight more evenly and to relieve this pressure by spreading it throughout the foot rather than focusing it in one place. The pad has an adhesive backing to ensure that it remains in place once it has been position on the insole.

Features of the PU Metatarsal Pad?

The metatarsal pad is made from polyurethane, providing comfort and support for the foot while helping to alleviate any discomfort from pressurised areas.

It has an adhesive backing to it. This means that once it has been positioned on one of the express kit insoles, it will remain in place rather than there being the risk of it moving around. If not positioned correctly, the support will not be as good as it should be.

The PU Metatarsal Pad is available in three different sizes and is supplied as a pair.

Sizing Information

The Podotech Polyurethane Metatarsal Pads are available in three sizes, Small, Medium and Large. To find the right size for you, please consult the table below.

Medium Size 5 - 9.5
Large Size 10 and above

  • Large
    • Thickness: 7mm
    • Length x Width: 64 x 55mm

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.

Insole Sizing Guide

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

How to measure your insoles

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.

Product Details Example
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

Trace the outline of your existing insoles
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.

If you would like a more detailed guide to trimming your insoles, please read our full guide on How to Trim Your Insoles.

Smaller than I'd hoped
Rating:
16 June 2024  |  Carole

Bought to att. to X line arch support insoles to replace ones given years ago by NHS slightly different triangle and although same colour they were much smaller only about 1 1/2" compared to the one I was replacing which was 2" plus. Nothing to give any sense of scale in photo. Will try it though it may still work.

Trying metatarsal pads for first time
Rating:
11 March 2022  |  Heather

After having neuroma surgery and still experiencing foot problems thought I would try these. The only issue is placing them in the correct spot and then fixing them to insole. But I am hopeful that with a bit of trial and error they will work for me.

Couldn’t put my feet in my shoes without the pads rolling. Haven’t been able to try them and see if they make a difference.

I suffer from pain under my toe joints and this little pad has made an enormous difference and I am almost pain free - just a little discomfort now and again. Certainly worth purchasing.

The pads are good quality but the large size is a bit smaller than expected. I am still getting used to them so it might be that they still do the job.
