    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.

    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 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.

    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 🦶?

    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!

    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?
