Pedag
Comfort Metatarsal
Arch Supports
The Pedag Comfort is a
high profile metatarsal arch support inlay. The Comfort metatarsal
arch is created with a firm but soft foam pad stitched into a genuine
leather cover. The Comfort metatarsal inlay has an adhesive spot on
the back to help hold it in place. The Pedag Comfort works well in
men’s athletic and dress shoes as well as woman’s athletic
shoes, dress flats and pumps. For a similar product designed for women’s
high heels check out the Pedag Queen metatarsal
arch support. The Pedag Comfort metatarsal arch support is a great
way to get extra metatarsal support.
The
metatarsal bones are the long bones that extend down from the ankle
to the base of the toes. They comprise ½ of the joint commonly
referred to as the ball of the foot or the metatarsal heads. As the
arch flattens out the angle of the metatarsal bones drop. This puts
excessive pressure on each dropped metatarsal head and changes the
angle of the metatarsal, toe joint. Pedag Comfort metatarsal arch
supports help to raise the dropped metatarsal bones and relieve a
number of common foot problems which are discussed below.
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia refers to generalized pain in the ball of the foot often
resulting from the breakdown of the natural, protective fat pads that
are supposed to cushion the metatarsal heads. When the metatarsal
arch falls it puts excessive and uneven pressures on the protective
fat pads that can cause them to shift and move away from the points
of pressure. This leaves the bones and muscle exposed to greater pressure
and often results in generalized pain in the ball of the foot. A Pedag
Comfort metatarsal arch support pad helps by lifting the metatarsal
arch and applying pressure to encourage the return of the natural
fat pad to the pressure point areas.
Neuromas
A neuroma is an irritation to the outer cover of a nerve channel called
the nerve sheath. It is generally felt as a sharp pain in between
the joints of the ball of the foot or at the base of the underside
of the toe. Neuromas are often the result of fallen arches, which
misaligns the bones of the foot and the connective tissues. Neuromas
can occur when two metatarsal bones press against each other and rub
against a nerve sheath trapped in between them. They can also occur
if a tendon or ligament that is pulled out of alignment (because of
over-prontaion) and
rubs back and forth across a nerve sheath that it normally wouldn’t
come in contact with. A Pedag Comfort metatarsal arch support pad
helps by lifting and spreading the metatarsal bones. It helps return
alignment to the metatarsal arch and relieve pressure on painful neuromas.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are a condition where one or more of the toes take on a
permanent curved or claw like position. One of the factors that can
lead to severe hammertoes is over pronation (falling arches), specifically
the falling of the metatarsal arch. When this happens the angle of
the toe joint shifts in such a way as to lift the toe and curl it
in (see the “bones” picture above). An arch support with
a prominent metatarsal arch such as the pedag Comfort, can help to
correct the angle of the toe joint and reduce or prevent the curling
hammertoe effect.
Pedag Comfort
Metatarsal Arch Supports have a spot of adhesive backing with a peel
away tab to help hold them in place inside of shoes.
