Cheap resticking tip: Buy some athletic/kinesiology tape and tape over the repositioned pad. You will need to replace the tape over time, but they come in really huge rolls. Depending on the width of your pad, you'll want a minimum of 2" width of tape.
Everyone gets the concept wrong ,,,Thank you for showing the proper way.
Thank you so much! Brief and to the point, very easy to follow, and a good, uncomplicated strategy for testing the pad placement
Thank you - I have thought I had the pad in the proper place and then had to change it.
Excellent explanation. I like your idea of testing out placement before inserting permanently. Thank you

Absolutely, Nancy!
GREAT IDEA. installed with double stick tape before permanently sticking. Thanks
Perfect explanation. Thank you Sir!
If you want to re-adhere the pad, once the adhesive is gone, wash them with soap and water. That reactivates the adhesive.
Thank you! I've been unable to walk for 2 days.... I hope this helps when it calms down!
Thank you so much for making this video!
The tape idea is amazing
Thank you, very much indeed. It was a clear explanation.

Great tips!!
Do you recommend a particular metatarsal pad? I’d like them for longevity/durability and effectiveness. If hand-washable from time time time, that would be great.
Well done. Best explanation by far.

Well talked through thanks. I have this condition but my problem is that i live in Thailand. Self medication for everything here.
Thank you for the video. Sad that my new food doctor did NOT give me enough information to place the pad NOR the printed info he claimed in mychart to have given me at the appointment. He underestimated my pain - i don't go to the Dr unless absolutely necessary. When this happened 5 years ago, a cortisone shot solved the problem. Now I have to figure out if these pads will really work and spend more money for inserts and/or shoes, which I don't have the time nor patience for while enduring foot pain. I plan to look for another doctor.
Thank You for this video!!!

Great tip to use double sided tape!
Wonderfully explained🖒
I don’t like wearing shoes due to severe hammertoes so instead of placing in a shoe, I stick it to the bottom of my foot. Works well. Barefoot walking isn’t as painful. Good shoe demo! Do you have one for perfect placement on a bare foot 🦶?

Great question! If you’re seeing a Physical Therapist, we recommend connecting with them.
I have a question. I went to a podiatrist for this type of foot pain… right foot only. Why didn’t he diagnose this condition for me? He only stated usually a nerve pain issue. The inserts he sold me haven’t helped at all. This, my doing my own research and am here!

Hi Marsha! We recommend having a conversation with your podiatrist if you are still having foot pain. Thanks for stopping by!
How long after placement does it take to get use to the pad being there or for uncomfortable feeling to go away?

How long did it take for you?
What if the insole doesn't come out?
Good video, thanks. What about longitudinal metatarsal arch pads. Any differences in placing a bit heelward from where metatarsal joints bear weight? Does long side go to outside or inside of foot?

My 2nd metatarsal has just recently had a drop in the distal end. Feels like my weight is all on the end of it near the toe. My physio just loosened it from under the 3rd metatarsal. If I use the pad do you think it will be temporary, and can I expect the bones to align enough to no longer need the pad?

I’d love to know where we can buy those particular pads. There are so many that don’t work. Thank you for the video, I’m in Australia so if anyone knows where to buy them please reply.

If I only have a problem with my left foot, is it okay to not put one on the right foot

Do I use the met pad for both feet or just for the injured foot?

I think there are much better ways of doing this and methods that are far more comfortable and work almost instantaneously.
