Hello! I’ve transitioned to barefoot shoes over the past few years. It’s been fantastic and has fixed ongoing ITB syndrome in my right leg that was caused by running. Unfortunately, as I’ve transitioned to running in them (has been a slow transition, although my feet are very strong from ballet) recently I’ve been experiencing what I think is metatarsal pain in my left foot from running. I’m working on some exercises to improve foot function but would still like to be able to run pain free in the meantime. Any recommendations on metatarsal pads to use? I’m currently in The USA (I live in Australia) so won’t go see a podiatrist/physio at this stage, would just like a bit of a band aid solution to tide me over. I was looking at this style as it includes the toe spaces as well as having the metatarsal pad underneath. Anyone have any experience with these? I also like that you can reuse it and presumably the pad placement will be always in the right spot 🤞 so less need for trial and error of where to stick it, as with the stick on versions?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
