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?

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.

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

I think these will work. They are light with a flexible and relatively thin sole. Tai chi is my intended use, but I've only had a chance to use them briefly for that since I bought them.

Yes, they are flat, but are a little thicker than "counter type" pads one buys in stores. Not a problem in my shoes, but if wearing orthotics, possible they could make your shoes a tighter fit. I'm not talking thick, just not as thin as most.

They slide somewhat but it hasn't been a big deal for me. The cushions are comfortable and well padded. Buy some small pillows and use them behind you.

There is very little pressure on the ankles, and yes the padding is sufficient! LOVE how I feel after using it!

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

They are padded and it appears as if you ever had to recover them it would be relatively easy to do. I hope this helps.

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.

No, these straps are not padded. They are fairly thick, not uncomfortable, but not padded.

I wear them for dancing. You aren't going to have arch support with them. You probably will need to glue them in place or something... They seem to slip towards my toes in my shoes sometimes.

I'm sure they will be comfortable, but these are one the loose side anyway. So being active with these might not work well for you. I will say even when bending over they have a tendency to fall off. But I have no doubt you will find them comfortable.

No, I use them in my athletic shoes and insert them between the shoe and and pad. They stay in place nicely and are much better than the felt pads the doctor gave me, not to mention a lot less expensive ($80!!) You could probably glue them in place if you had to.

They are kind of high, but they squish down some in a relatively short time. They are nice enough to take the risk and if it doesn't work out put them in another pair of shoes.....Worth it, at least my feet think so!

I, too, have bad feet. I found these mats very comfortable for my feet and very safe. They are heavy and last a long time. Good luck and enjoy.
