The PRO-TEC Metatarsal Pads are contoured EVA pads that are made to push up on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal (forefoot) heads. By lifting up on the metatarsal heads, you reduce pain and discomfort to that forefoot region because the pad is made to absorb the stress, not the foot.
You should use metatarsal pads if you are trying to alleviate symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma (irritated nerve endings), metatarsalgia, “ball of foot pain”, “fallen metatarsal arch”, and bursitis.
