Are these well-padded? I'm trying to find something to alleviate ball-of-the-foot pain when dancing.

These might not be it. They have no extra padding, just standard non-slip sole. Comfortable and great to dance in, but you might check other shoes that offer a little more padding?

Works for me!! The heel is padded & I get immediate relief. Of course, I am not on my feet 8 hours a day but it's worth a try!

Yes. If you have to do a little dance to get in them, you have the right size.

I would say they have normal padding in the area you mentioned. I would suggest inserts that address that area of the foot. Hope that helps.

They are ok....my boyfriend prefers that there was a padded bar like some others we've seen...but he is very tall and bony. They are held in with a thick foam ankle cuff.

I really do not think these were designed for dancing. Dancing in ski boots....? All night...? I would consider another alternative. But if you must, secure the battery packs with duct tape. Or, bring something else to wear and change into them. If I am moving my body (feet) as in dancing, cold feet is the least of my problems.

I think you have a better chance of these pads working for you. My problem was the tip of my toes. I hope this helps and I hope if you purchase them that they will help. Thanks for asking for my opinion.

The heels are not specifically targeted, but the pads compress along the sides of the foot in an alternating motion. You could adjust your feet slightly to target certain sore spots, but not on the heel. The rollers that run along the bottom of the foot are very soothing, but again they don't contact the heel area.

Of course is not as comfortable as not wearing nothing and it takes time to dress those before wearing your shoes however these are not too bulky. I use those in both ankles when I play soccer and can play good enough; I haven't used those with dress shoes but I believe should be used with soft or sports shoes. The only disappointment I had with those is that the adjustable belts where ripped since new so I had to take to the shoemaker to fix both.

No, they are gel of even thickness yet they are the only ones that seemed to work for me. The best part is, they stay in place on your skin, even if barefoot. They helped me be able to walk with less pain while I waited for the alcohol injections to begin working. Good luck!

I use them to protect the heels from abrasion when they get scraped against the sheets. Need to find cause of pain to relieve I think.

Yes they are very well padded. Just don't make my mistake and sit on it yourself �.

They are not padded, though the leather is decently thick. Over all for the price, I think they're quite amazing!

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

Yes. They're elastic like a shower cap. They're small and wadded up, and will stretch to hug your foot.

Hi heals will be an issue. These are thin and depending on how sharp the heal is and how rough the surface you walk on will be, they will rip if the heels are pretty pointed and if the surface you walk on is rough. On smooth floors or carpets they're fine but heels cannot be too pointed.

I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer. I work for a hospital and the floors are not nice at all to my feet. I went to doctors, stretching, even the expensive shoes but nothing worked I bought these and in one day I could feel the pain decrease. By the end of the week my pain was gone that I had battled for the last 2 years. Recently I just had to get a new pair of shoes and they were tight fitting with these inserts so I tried for the last week without them and my heel pain is horrible my back and hips hurt so this weekend I wore my boots with my inserts and the pain went away. So long story short if your in pain you have nothing to loose but the pain! I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer.
