Do these relieve pressure on the balls of the feet?

Not particularly. I ordered these as a less expensive alternative to the superfeet orthotic inserts I have been wearing. These do not fit as well or relieve pressure/correct alignment issues nearly as effectively. I would not recommend.

I don't know. That is not my problem. My foot problem is a High arch and plantar fascitis. I have to have a rigid high arch insole and have always used superfeet. I went with yours this time because your advertisement said they were comparable to superfeet. They were not for my high arch problem. Thank you.

I returned them. They are a poor knock-off of Superfeet Green (which I use in my everyday shoes). For that kind of support, I opted for molded orthotics which can be found in ski shops & foot stores.

Just got my ball today and YES they do hurt! Maybe if you were in thick jeans but I was in yoga pants and couldn't bear to keep bouncing on it - very uncomfortable.

They are suppose to but I found they didn't do much. If your toes are crossing or hammer toes these won't help.

Yes, they do, and also prevent more to develop. I sent a pair to my mother, and she just love them, because they don't trap her toes, yet they keep the pain and inflammation away.

Yes you can position your feet on the balls of the unit to intensify the massage on different areas of your feet. Works well.

These inserts offer cushion and support, as for bunions I do not believe they would alleviate the pain. My experience has been that any pressure on a bunions ( no matter how much cushion) I will still feel the pain. So as to this product specifically for bunions , this would probably not be the best choice; as for comfort support with high heels only, these work great. Hope this helps.

I don't get ball of foot blisters so I can't say for certain but the midweight does provide more cushioning overall and my callouses don't grow as quickly when I use them.

No, they gripped just fine. The toe stop was VERY slippery, as it seemed to be a plastic rather than a rubber feel. That kind of stopper is fairly worthless. Lol

I'm not certain they will help your knees and hips, but they did help my ankles stop hurting.I think they are worth a try.

I would say yes, no and maybe on this one. It depends on the level of inflammation.If it is in an acute stage, using them could cause more discomfort, even though they might be useful to release some of the tension in the connection tissue. Certainly they are useful to keep the feet flexible and open, so they could be considered proactive. And as the inflammation and contraction release, they will be useful to massage the entire area really effectively.

No. I ordered them not thinking about that and they do not work. I actually am super disappointed. They will only work on round ball legs or squared legs. :(

I have flat feet and they really help. My husband has arches and they help him. I think they would help with narrow feet and high arches. Put them under the removable pads in your tennis or other shoes.

Yes, they are very light and just enough tension to keep them positioned over the ears. I'm very sensitive with anything tight on or around my head, these are great!

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry

I am not sure they have much cushion, but good for circulation issues.My husband is a diabetic and the DR recommended them for him.

Anywhere that is achy or tight - they are great at relieving tension. I get alot of tension in my shoulders. So I have the ball in the tense place, between me and the wall and roll it around. It also works great just rolled under the feet or between your hands.

Yes...Slightly Raised surface enables foot to put good spin on ball or none @ All!!
