Make sure you actually need the heel pad before buying.
I have "ball of foot" pain, and my podiatrist told me to get a Powerstep insert, (and/or shoes with a high arch), which I have been using for over a year now with great results. I thought I'd try this version and it does not work as well for me as the regular Powerstep because the heel pad lifts the heel higher, offsetting the high arch I need. So you might want to make sure you need this pad before buying. Your podiatrist can advise you.<br /><br />I made an attempt at removing the heel pad but it's firmly attached with adhesive with only a few small edge pieces giving way. Should be no problem with it coming loose if this is what you need.
