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?

I am buying these for my brother, who is a quite overweight and has diabetic foot problems. I believe it does protect his heels quite a bit. However as far as how far up the heel it goes, I would not know without looking at one as he stands on it on the bare floor. All I know is that he says it really helps out- really makes his feet feel better.

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

Melissa, I think that they would probably be protective enough for ice skating. They are pretty well padded, they just don't have a hard plastic cap either inside them or on the outside. I think that you would have a fine time using them. They fit snug so keep that in mind but I used them for mountain biking, slow downhill and they worked good. The eight part that you see on the outside is pretty thick neoprene and that is the protection factor. The other thing is that if you take a really hard fall in them or any other pad, you are going to feel it in my experience. My thought is that they are a really solid pad and would probably protect you in fine fashion for ice skating.good luck and take care,Eoin Melissa, I think that they would probably be protective enough for ice skating.

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 stiff, but it's not a problem for me. I think that is the nature of bowling shoes. I am not sure why, maybe it's because they don't want you to forget to take them off before you leave the bowling alley...if they were comfy, you would wear them all the time and ruin them...that is the only thing I can think of. They are much more comfortable than the ones they rent at the alley. I have not actually gone bowling since I got them...but I hope to use them soon and I will put in a review at that time based on their performance.

Use Comply Memory Foam tips you can break dance and they will stay there are less expensive Memory Foam I dont know about them .I think they make these sound better but thats me

I would also say yes as they are very hard to get on. You may find some compression socks with a softer material that would be much easier for you.

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.

It does help to protect your feet from sores, but if you have heel pain besides a doctor's prescription, i would recommend the SKIL CARE FLOAT HEEL PROTECTOR from Prime Discount in Amazon, i got both "booties" both are good, but because my mother developed sores in the big toe and heel, she is diabetic and bedridden, it was better to keep the heel free of pressure and avoid pain. The DMI comforting heel is very good to protect your feet from sores,but if those sores are spreading and causing too much pain in your heel i would suggest the float heel protector.My mother has both protectors (different one in each foot) and there is a lot of improvement.

Yes, I do and I'm one if my feet aren't comfortable I will not wear heels, but these actually worked for me. Had no problem staying in my heels without pain or feet slipping. I would recommend these for you. Hope that helps you decide.

They are comfy but in long sessions it hurts when you try to move your eras with your hand, básically its normal, I think...

Yes, they're soft and flexible and not very thick; yet the gel really protects. I wear them every day with all types of shoes. They have been my savior. I tried all kinds of products and this is the frst one that really works and is comfortable. I always wear hose or knee-highs when I wear dress shoes, so the pads stay in place. The hose also helps to slip your shoes on. I honestly don't know from experience how difficult it would be to get into your dress shoes without hose, but I'm sure it would work.

They are not padded. Also, for me they run a little small for the size listed. I purchased a men's large and they are just a little tight. Next time, I will select the XL size.

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.

They have a little bit of cushion. But I bought them more for the heel cup support than cushion.

No, just padded. I bought them for my wife to do body combat and she loves them.
