Atlas Biomechanics 100 Ball of Foot 1/4" Foam Cushions

The balls of my feet blister bad when I hike or backpack because of metatarsals. I have tried all kinds of insoles. I have found that when I backpack the insoles work great when I start a trip. However, on the first long day backpacker's feet change, they swell. So, the insoles aren't enough support any more. That's when I put these on. I am able to pretty much go where and as long as I want without blistering and don't get sore. In cold/cool weather they stay in place just fine. In hot humid weather or when it's raining, I tape these in place if I am going to hike a longer distance (greater than 10 miles). Let's face it, nothing is going to stick to my sweaty feet, but the point is that these still work even in those conditions. With tape I could reuse a pair in the back country a few times. These are so cheap and light weight, I just carry enough for the whole trip.

Bought these because the price was great for 100 pieces. But they are NOT the better quality as ones from other sellers. So, I have returned these and waiting for my refund. Seller was right quick to agree to refund, so that made me happy. These are so cheap that it's hard to get them off the paper in one piece & then when trying to remove them from feet, they tear apart except for the 'glue' part which stays stuck to the foot!! I went back to another seller & got the better quality ones. If you buy these, remember, you've been warned, more than once. Amazon recommendation doesn't have a real clue, it's just a bot.

Really helps out with the neuroma in my foot. The pads relieve the pressure in the effected area. There were a few clunkers in the batch I received (the adhesive didn't stick), but that was only two out of the lot. Otherwise, they were awesome. They stayed on my feet all day.

I have been purchasing these pads for quite a few years. The last order I purchased and am writing about was received Feb 2019. I'm 6'2" weighing 220 lbs. I wear the pads on the ball of my right foot due to an injury. The quality of this latest order is not up to that of previous orders. The foam is not as firm or thick so by the end of the day, the pad is completely fat, offering no cushion. I've starting sticking two together and wearing that. Previous orders, the pad could be worn two or three days depending on activity. The adhesive is so strong and the foam so cheap the pad is nearly impossible to remove in a single piece, or two. More times than not, as you pull, the foam tears loose in pieces and you then have to pull off the adhesive tape which leaves sticky residue. Looking back, the original orders were filled by the Chicago Medical Company. The order was filled by Superior Felt & Filtration LLC, Inc. Not so superior from this customer's experience.

These are a lifesaver! A family member and I both use these for to take pressure off of a chronic issue on the ball of our feet.ProsAdhesive works; this pad will stay on your foot all day long no matter the activity, not an easy thing to find when trying to stick something to your foot.Thick foam; provides a lot of protection and relief of pressure. Pad is thick enough that you do actually get some of the weight off of the area to provide relief.Customizable; You can cut it to fit precisely the area that you need.Package Size; Comes in a 100 packConsPrice; I know it comes in a 100 hundred pack but roughly $30 still feels like a lot every time I need to re-upNot Prime eligible; Call me spoiled but I love free two-day shipping.The price is the only reason I drop it a star. It's a quality product that does it's job well.
