Dr. Scholl's Pain Relief Orthotics for Ball of Foot Pain, 1 Pair - One Size fits All

These wee pads are a god send for my feet, no pain now!

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. Total garbage. Of course it is, it's made in CHINA!! Shame on Scholl, for decades their products were a benchmark for all who suffered issues with their feet, but no longer it would seem. I didn't even need to stick inside the shoe to try these out. Just a simple, out of packet, test placing underneath the foot immediately answered any questions. This pad gives no relief whatsoever to ball of foot or metatarsal pain, which i have. There is so very little support structure and firmness with these pads, which is required if any relief is to be had. They are so poorly made and so soft the pressure needed underfoot is simply not there. This is so sad as yet another long established, respected company that once produced top quality products that worked so well has flushed themselves away into the dustbin of Chinese manufacturing.

No instructions for placement of pads apart from a random arrow. The pads sticks to sole of the shoes but I have found it doesn’t stick and moves. I may have the pads in the wrong position in the shoe as it was a guess but the ball of my foot still hurts.

Happy with item

This might work if you can actually keep it in place so that it can function. It's designed to go underneath your toes but it simply won't stay there and therefore provides no function at all. The difficulty of use makes it poor value for money.

Utterly useless. Despite having followed the instructions and removed the backing, the product simply doesn’t stick to the inside of the shoe. Completely unfit for purpose.

No different to any other brand in my opinion No relief at all.

A complete waste of money. Might have been good if stayed in place, unfortunately even putting a sock on resulted in it ending scuffed up in my instep so had to be removed. Expected better of Scholls.

Me quita el dolor. Y son cómodos. Pegamento algo débil.

自分には合わなかった。付けてしばらく経つと痛みがで始めたので装着中止。 個人差で、この商品が合う・合わないがあると思います。

I like it

After overdoing treadmill and elliptical machine in my old running shoes, I began having metatarsal pain in my left foot. It got to the point where even wearing cushioned slippers was not enough to prevent the pain. At first I used gel cushions under the ball of my foot, which seemed to help but these things were what really did the trick!! I was skeptical, not really thinking that wearing a cushion behind the area I was experiencing the pain would help... but I was so wrong!! These things allowed me to continue moderate cardio as i healed, and after a couple weeks all pain was gone even without the inserts!! Be sure you place them in the correct position behind the ball of your foot but before your arch. They DO NOT go underneath the ball of your foot like a cushion! They work by spreading your toe bones out and need to go just behind the ball of your foot. I also use arch support inserts and stuck these babies onto the end of them so I was able to wear both my heel/arch support insert and these things at the same time. In the beginning they do take some practice to get into the right position and then getting them to stay while you put your foot into the shoe. I loosened my laces all the way so I could be sure I placed them in the right position. Then I very carefully slid my feet in while holding onto the pad under my foot. I stood and tied my laces. I never had them move around as I wore them, whether I was jogging or doing the elliptical, etc. The first few times they did want to scoot around as I took my shoes on and off so I would reposition it and hold it in place when putting my feet in. But the more I wore them the more they stuck. After a few times, they stayed in place on their own but I can still take them out if I want. Whatever the bottom stuff is, it doesn't feel very sticky, but it works. Love these things!!! Just read the directions and watch a YouTube video if necessary to ensure you wear them correctly and to see tips!

I’ve been putting up with terrible pain in my feet for months now. I have always had flat feet. Some people only have no longitudinal arch. I also don’t have the transverse arch - never have. And now I’ve developed bunions because of this. I saw these and thought I’d give it a try before having to invest in orthotics. The problem with orthotics is that I work from home and so very seldom wear shoes (I know lucky me-not as much as you’d think). So I thought I’d actually tape these on the bottoms of my feet for around the house. Voila! My feet felt better within days. So now I’ve ordered more to actually stick in my shoes.
