What do metatarsal support insoles do?
Metatarsal support insoles are designed to provide extra support for the metatarsals and ball-of-foot versus what a standard arch support insole would provide. This is done through the addition of a metatarsal pad, cushion, or other support piece that is built directly into the insole.
This metatarsal support serves two primary purposes:
- It helps to elevate the metatarsals of the foot, which will help alleviate pressure and strain on not only the metatarsals, but also the ball-of-foot and even the toes. This is especially important for those who already experience pain or soreness in the forefoot, including foot conditions such as Morton’s neuroma, sesamoiditis, and metatarsalgia.
- It helps to provide additional cushioning under the metatarsal bones, which is helpful for those who experience soreness between the midfoot and forefoot, such as those who stand for long periods of time, those who perform manual labor, and those who wear heeled footwear for extended periods of time.
Do all metatarsal support insoles have arch support?
Most do, but not all. There are a limited number of options available for those who want a metatarsal insole without arch support. Simply choose “Insoles Without Support” when filtering products by category on our page.
However, please note that while a flat insole with metatarsal pad may provide slight cushioning, an arch support insole with metatarsal pad will be more effective at providing full forefoot support.
