Footcare Gel Ball of Foot Cushions Review

The Footcare Gel Ball of Foot Cushions are nicely packaged with a clear window that shows you what they look like. They are easy to open with a tear-away piece placed at the top. I like they fact that there are 2 pairs in the pack. It makes them very reasonably priced compared to others I have seen on the market. Each cushion is marked with a "L" or "R" which was very useful otherwise I would have put them in my shoes they wrong way. The cushions have a plastic film on the underside of them which is peeled off to reveal an adhesive bottom. The cushions are then placed into your shoes adhesive size down. The adhesive works very well and the cushions stayed in place when I wore my shoes. It is great that these can be washed and re-used. With all of these great features I did find them a little uncomfortable. I noticed them in my shoes the whole time I was wearing them. I tried them in 2 different pairs of shoes but they felt out of place in both pairs. It might just be something that takes a while to get used to? I could feel the little balls on the surface which worked well to make them non-slip. These would be great for someone who was on their feet for a long time or out dancing the night away.

I would recommend using the gel cushions if you are wearing heels for a long period of time. They take a little while to get used to being in your shoe to get the position right but they do help to ease pain in the ball of your feet. The only negative thing I would say is the adhesive isn't the best. Especially if you are dancing or walking a lot, the adhesive slowly wears off. I'd use this product again.

These pads are definitely comfy - in that they didn't make my shoes uncomfortable but I don't know that they actually ADDED any comfort. I would use them again but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy any.

After standing for an hour at a staff meeting in heels! only a week prior with killing feet I was so excited about trialling this product. First impressions feeling the product from the packet is they really are squidgy. Once I peeled back the plastic backing I could feel also how sticky they are which was reassuring that they probably wouldn't move in your shoes. They are easy to apply and as they say are reusable. I peeled them off and replaced them and they stuck just fine. Be careful though as due to being so sticky they pulled at my shoe lining making it loose on the sides. Once I stood in my heels my initial thoughts were I could feel the cushion pads. It was quite a strange feeling, feeling them under your foot. As the day went on I became used to them and didn't notice them as much. I specifically wore some of my most killer heels to really put them to the test. Overall I think perhaps they prevented a little bit of pain but unfortunately didn't prevent all of it.
