I bought these in hope my 55 year old feet could feel comfort at the ball of my foot. Honestly I believe the cushions did the best they could. I just shouldn't wear such high heels anymore. But they worked for my special occasion. It would of been worse without them.

I finally settled on a pair of higher block-soled heels for my daughter's wedding. This after buying and returning 9 pairs. I decided the shoes I kept were the best option but they still weren't comfortable. I ordered these pads as a last-ditch hope. Wow! These make all the difference in the world. Easy to apply and VERY comfortable. They really helped. I did a trial run and wore my new shoes all day with no issues. It definitely was the pad that made the difference. The price was inexpensive and you get two pairs. I'm going to need a few more of these. I would definitely recommend these pads!

I bought a pair of YSL heels that I paid way too much for but I had to have em. That's besides the point though.. I purchased em last summer and have only been able to wear em literally only 3 times because they are soooooo painful to walk/stand in. They're like 4" heels and so once I slip into them, my foot just naturally slides down, and I have wide feed, so gravity has me putting all my weight on the ball of my feet and so it puts a lot of stress of the sides of my feet where the straps really cut into and after just having em on for 15 minute they start to become extremely unbearable. Standing is one thing but every step in these was complete torture.

Ive really tried my best to tough it out and break em in but these are probably up there with red bottoms when it comes to painful ass must haves.

Anyways, my gfs and I planned a last minute girls trip and I didn't wanna spend a lot of money on some new shoes so I decided I would TRY wearing these again. After extensive research and reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on purchasing these foot cushions. I got em in the next day and was so busy I never had time to test em out. So it was just do or die when it came down to it all. Moment of truth "”- We left the hotel at 1am and stayed out all night until 5am (Chicago's nightlife scene runs very late) I danced, walked up and down stairs a few times because the restroom was downstairs. Even ran and was on my feet for most of the night and I never once felt any major discomfort. I can't say they made my heels 100% comfortable because we don't live in a perfect world... my best friend even said she never heard me complain once about my shoes hurting and she knows about the hell I went through the last few times I tried wearing these heels in particular. But mannn the difference it made had me ranting and raving about these lifesavers all weekend to my gfs.. so much that I felt compelled to leave this review and I don't do that too often. But omg, I love these things. I was really considering selling my heels because I couldn't wear em. So glad I found these first!

Anyways, let me put a little emphasis on how it helps though so you have an idea of what to expect. The quality is a-1 because once u stick it on, it ain't moving. Im 5'5 185lbs, I'm curvy ok :) so putting all my weight onto the ball of my feet is a lot of pressure and they never not once budged. The way they designed the grooves and details of the cushion itself really does make a difference too. Placement is very important because it really Keeps your foot where it needs to sit so make sure u stick em on correctly.

I still have an extra pair that I plan on placing into some 4" boots that cause some discomfort so I'll update my review on that later.

For us women who like wearing 4"+ heels, these are highly recommend. They help so much in keeping your foot in place. It's a lot of work standing with your foot arched like that already and then the physical part of putting all your weight into the ball of your feet just to look cute.. I know we're crazy.. but these make it so worth it. They help a lot!

All in all these are f*%#ing amazing though and so hella worth the price.

I tried this out on a pair of heeled boots that had bothered me. I was skeptical at first but was delighted when I found out that I could wear them all day. They provide a soft gel like support that soothes that part of my foot that is in constant pressure from the heel. I'm happy I bought this and will repurchase for all my other heels!

The insert is easy to use and truly stays in place. A year after foot surgery, and still in pain, this offers a good amount of cushioning that makes shoes tolerable. Be aware that the insert does raise your toes, and this could make some strappy shoes feel tighter.
