Good but too flimsy. Not worth it for only three days use.
I work at a job where I'm on my feet all day and the stress on my feet has caused calluses that just won't heal. I thought these might help, and they seemed as though they had started to help a little. But after only three days the material broke and it could no longer be worn. They are just too expensive to be going through a new pair twice a week.<br /><br />Anyhow, general notes:<br /><br />They are made of a thin, cushiony silicone, so when you first put them on they feel kind of similar to how gel shoe inserts would feel if you put them at the front instead of under your heel.<br />The first day I wore them it felt as though it was hard to stand and they affected my balance (just a little). After only one day though, I got used to it and could forget they were even there.<br />When putting them on it's a bit of a fuss to get them situated without bunching up or stretching too tight. The silicone tends to stay right where it's placed so you can't slide them on like socks. It takes some time but it's probably a good thing because it also keeps them in place through the day — well, mostly... There's a nasty tendency of the bottom to roll itself up away from the ball of the foot. But you can feel when it does and stop and readjust it.<br /><br />So, the second day warring them, they did help relieve the discomfort of the calluses.. The downside was that the silicon rubbed against my toes and caused an abrasion on the top of my right middle toe. I didn't yet xx but knew I was going to have to bandage it to prevent it getting worse. At the moment it was just a red, tender patch, but continued use would certainly aggravate it further. But in spite of this I was impressed with the progress in relieving the calluses. I would estimate that wearing these for a month or two would have allowed them to heal completely.<br />But unfortunately these are too flimsy to be worn anywhere close to that long. On the third day the one on my left foot broke. I didn't notice until I took my sock of at the end of the day, but it is now completely un-useable. So it didn't last long enough to be worth it.<br /><br />Beating all this in mind I might still day that if you weigh less than 150 lbs and aren't exceptionally active during the day then they might still be okay for you. For me though, far too disposable.
