Gehwol Metatarsal Cushion

The Gehwol Metatarsal Cushion is designed to be worn directly on the foot, typically held in place by the tension of a sock or the fit of your shoe. Because it is made of a highly elastic polymer gel, it conforms to the shape of your foot to minimize shifting during movement.

These pads are low-profile and versatile, making them suitable for most closed-toe shoes, including sneakers, boots, and dress shoes. They may be less comfortable in very tight-fitting shoes or open-toed sandals where the pad might be visible or slide.

You can wash the cushions with mild detergent and warm water. After air-drying, apply the included powder to the surface to restore the gel's texture and prevent it from feeling sticky or tacky against your skin.

Yes, the thicker cushioning in the center is specifically engineered to target the metatarsal area. By providing a soft barrier, it helps redistribute pressure and reduce the friction that often causes burning or fatigue during long periods of standing or walking.

The polymer gel is formulated to be skin-friendly and is designed for direct contact with the foot. However, if you have specific skin sensitivities or allergies, it is always best to test the material on a small area of your skin first.
