Pain under the ball of your foot that gets worse when walking or standing for long? That's called metatarsalgia. The right cushioning and support take pressure off your forefoot.

What is metatarsalgia?

Metatarsalgia is pain under the metatarsal heads, usually from overload. Standing a lot, intensive sport, high heels or splayfoot can all play a part.

What can help?

  • SUPSOLE Metatarsalgia insoles, made for this complaint
  • Insoles with a metatarsal pad from Saluber, which spread the pressure under your forefoot
  • Forefoot cushions for instant extra cushioning

How to choose

Mainly bothered during sport? Choose a full-length cushioning insole. Looking for something for everyday shoes? A three-quarter insole or forefoot cushion is often more comfortable.
