Dancers pad: Dancers pads cushion the ball of the foot to reduce pressure. Cut out of the pad surrounds area under the big toe to re-distribute weight pressure away from the ball of the foot to relieve stress and discomfort. The location is always just proximal to the weight bearing surface of the ball of the foot. helps with sesamoiditis, morton’s toe, calluses, metarsalgia

Toe crest: Toe crest or buttress pad relieve forefoot pain and stress from the tips of your toes. It is anatomically shaped to contour to your foot and the base of the insole. In order to place the crest pad in the correct position, stand on the insole. Place the crest pad on the distal aspect of each toe and each metatarsal head.
