Silipos Ball of the Foot Gel Cushions

Pain in the metatarsal area of the foot is a condition that plagues many of us. It can be caused by a number of different conditions and or just from the pressure and friction being placed on this area of the foot. The Silipos Ball of the Foot Gel Cushions work to provide support and cushioning to this area, helping to reduce the pain and discomfort felt.

Who Can Benefit from the Ball of the Feet Gel Cushions?

The Ball of the Feet Gel Cushions provide support and comfort to this area of the foot. This means that anyone can use them if additional support is required in this area. However, the cushions are particularly suited for the following conditions:

• Metatarsalgia
• Metatarsal Pain
• Calluses
• Neuromas

This is because the pad cushions the ball of your feet. The reduction of pressure and friction through the use of the pads helps to relieve the burning sensation that can be felt under the metatarsal heads (the bones at the base of the toes) and therefore provides comfort and support to this area of the foot.

The pads can be used as soft tissue supplement for metatarsalgia to cushion and support this area of the foot.

Features of the Ball of the Feet Gel Cushions

The pads are formed of different layers as the gel pad is situated in between two layers of fabric. This means it provides the cushioning support because of the gel but is also comfortable against the base of the foot.

The pad is held in place through the use of a toe strap. This slides comfortably over the big toe and keeps the pad in the best position while wearing it. The thin design means that the pad can be used in a wide range of different footwear and is hypoallergenic and latex free.

The pads are one universal size to fit all feet types. Two pads are provided.

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.
