Customer Reviews of Pedag 1781 Floppy Clear Soft Gel Forefoot Pad with Toe Post Cushion for Sandals with Toe Posts (Self Adhesive and Removable)Customer Review: flip-flop fixers Summary: 4 Stars
It's summer, and flip flops are afoot.
Followed shortly thereafter by sore soles and aching arches.
These pads don't fix everything wrong with wearing flip-flops as streetwear (something that makes podiatrists cringe). But they do help considerably with the lack of padding under the metatarsal, and the flat footbed. I have an overpronation bad enough to require orthotics in my lace-up shoes, and without these, wearing flip-flops, even for the beach, would be impossible.
The design of the pads is quite straightforward - a met-pad and an open tube that goes over the center post of the sandal strap. The silicone is very dense, and sticky enough to stay in place (it will stick better over use). Don't be afraid to do a bit of readjusting to find exactly the right spot. On my flip-flops (a hard-soled japanese style) I had to do some razor-blade surgery to taper down the top of the tube, since it only came halfway up the post, and the edge was annoying. This probably wouldn't be an issue with the flip-flop styles where the straps were more closely attached to the base.
Slight re-engineering notwithstanding, these are highly recommended to anybody who, like me, would prefer to ignore their podiatrist's summer warnings.
Description of Pedag 1781 Floppy Clear Soft Gel Forefoot Pad with Toe Post Cushion for Sandals with Toe Posts (Self Adhesive and Removable)Floppy: Gel forefoot cushion for sandals with toe posts. Gel surrounds the toe post and prevents rubbing and abrasion. Forefoot cushion prevents burning in the stressed balls of the foot. Self adhesive and removable. The Pedag Brand: Pedag is a Euro Comfort brand of footcare. Pedag merges 3 elements: Nature, Science and Technology to produce products that are good for the modern foot. Nature is found in Pedag?s use of high quality natural materials such as vegetable tanned leather, pure cotton, wool, sisal, water based adhesives and active carbon and silver ions for odor control. Science is found in Pedag?s use of supportive, anatomically correct footbeds and inserts that support the arches, muscles and ligaments of the foot. Supporting the foot adequately provides a base from which to support the ankles, hips and spine. Pedag orthotics stress Support rather than simple Cushioning. You will find Pedag orthotics that address: Heel pain, fallen arches, spreading feet, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Pronation and Supination, different leg lengths, Achilles Tendonitis and many other foot problems. Pedag is different. Even our flat, non-orthotic insoles are different because they too combine Nature, Science and Technology. Pedag insoles (orthotic or plain) allow the foot to breathe inside the shoe, keeping feet and shoes fresh. Did you know the foot produces a shot glass of perspiration daily. Insoles that absorb moisture, breathe and prevent odor are necessary for healthy feet. Technology is found in Pedag?s modern manufacturing facilities in Germany (even though much of the production of our insoles is still done by hand), stringent quality controls and introduction of cutting edge technologies such as nano ions of silver for permanent odor prevention in several of our insoles and an innovative new material to insulate against cold.
