Will the Paws for feet help with metatarsal pain (ball of foot)?

I'm guessing it would! I was having pain in my wrist without using yoga paws, and do not have any pain now that I use them!

Not completely sure. I have a logo on different sides of mine. I put the logos to the outside of each foot. It is possible they could be worn the other way and still feel fine..

I've used it. I don't see improvement but it seems to help the toe from getting worse. If the toe is at a sharp angle towards other toes, I can't see it helping at all. I would ask my GP for an opinion as he would be dealing with toe problems from a variety of cases.

I would think so. I wear them in my running shoes, dress shoes, ballet flats, etc and have never had a problem. Once you get them in the right spot, it really just positions your foot where it should be if everything were working right and you didn't have fallen arches etc. These are the only things that work to eliminate my pain and allow me to keep running and boxing when my feet are bad. It is worth a try if you want to keep up your activity level while healing .

Yes, i have many people who are using them successfully. It depends on how far the bunion has formed. It's definitely not a quick fix. You are trying to re educate your feet, and learn how to properly distribute your weight so when you walk your weight distributes more on the outside arch. Ideally you could find a good body worker. Bunions sometimes start because of the way your legs are distributing the weight in to your feet. These are lines of force that need to be redistributed. And then of course the kinds of shoes you wear are incredibly important. I hope this helps. John William Johnson, licensed massage therapist

The paws are very adjustable and should fit just fine. I have small-ish female hands and they are perfect and are easy to get off and on. They're great for travel, but I should probably wear the feet even with my mat at the yoga studio as I think they would help my tree pose (my foot is always slipping off my leg).

No. More like a foam pad. Have to have them just right to work. Custom orthotics is a better answer.

I'm not a podiatrist, so I really don't know how to answer your question. They provide a good stretching of the toes and feet overall. If you have toe alignment issues, you probably should consult with a podiatrist...

the gel pads didn't work for me, they made my feet hurt worse. I will continue to just wear my insoles and orthodic shoes. Orthaheel shoes work well.

Honestly my feet are so flat I call them duck feet. They help a lot. If you have planter F, try them. I also get accupuncture on my feet and calves past few months. But without these orthodics I would be in a lot of pain. Buy them they should help!

I don't think so. It is a very thin insole with a small raised area that helps take pressure off the ball of your foot. I think they make small inserts for just the ball of foot area that should keep your foot from sliding forward. Some are made of gel and some are just a material that creates a little friction to keep your foot from sliding forward and they're a lot less expensive than these.

not sure. i wasn't the biggest fan of this product. it squeezes the bottom of your foot and is kind of uncomfortable.

I do not think this can be helped with the hand paws. These are primarily for creating grip without a mat. If you are looking for something to protect your wrist from carpal tunnel, I would take a look at these: http://yogajellies.com/

The support provided in the middle of my foot helped with the heel pain I experienced, but it did not get rid of it. Wearing these socks with shoes that have good arch support is what really helped me. My best explanation for the benefits of these socks is my feet feel good when wearing them (which is a large part of the battle), although good shoes are what helps mine the most.

I have used it on my foot for nerve pain, and it seemed to help. The pad is rigid and has no strap to keep it in position, so I place it face up on a surface and put my foot on it. Try it on less than full power as it can get hot after about 15 minutes.

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.

Probably would feel good and protect the toe. I've only used this product to protect my dog's paws from ice, snow. , and ice melting salt. It works great for that purpose. It's a great protectorant so it just might help your puppy. Heck, it's worth a try .
