Ailaka 2 Pairs Compression Arch Support Sleeves, Cushioned Arch Support Braces Gel Pads for Flat Foot Pain Relief Plantar Fasciitis Heel Spurs (Shoe Size: Women’s 5-13/Men’s 3-11, Grey)

I wear these as metatarsal pads, not as arch supports. I place them just behind the ball of my foot to relieve metatarsal pain. I like them between layers, so I wear them between two socks, so that the silicon is not next to my skin. Keeps the pads cleaner and my feet less sticky and irritated and I can also slide my foot into closed shoes without the fabric on the band doubling over on itself since it's the top sock that is sliding in, not the pad. The pads relieve my metatarsal pain very well and I can get many more hours per day of activity on my feet using these pads. Without them I have a lot of foot pain when walking. The band stays on the foot, but does slide towards the inner arch, so I do have to reposition them several times (as you do with any metatarsal pad on a band), but I love the 2 for $10.99 price, quality, and the fact that it relieves my pain, so I would definitely buy again as a metatarsal pad. I do wear these with ballroom dance shoes and the khaki color is light enough next to a white skinned foot that it is not that ugly. You can still see the bands, so a flesh-toned color would be much better for open shoes. I could use adhesive metatarsal pads in the dance shoes, but that costs more money since you must leave the pads in the shoe and use new ones in each pair of shoes. I hope this company continues to sell these pads so I can order them whenever I need them. If they continue to raise the price, I will however, take my business elsewhere.

Love it

I like the Gel inside perfect size but I have little feet and these were very tight . And yes if your feet swell at all these get to tight. I changed my review due to excellent customer service plus they may be to small for my foot but works perfect on my hand I just had surgery on . So maybe instead of feet use them for your hands !!

I assure you one size does not fit all if you have enough problems with your feet that you need to buy something like this. This is the same product repackaged as many others in this category. I even just went to CVS to see what they had and I opened the box and lo and behold...same product. I have a particularly wide foot so these get uncomfortable. Also the exposed gel directly on you skin feels like it will lead to blisters. I tried over my socks which help but of course that also means they are tighter.I've been in search of these arch sleeves I bought around 2017. They had large/xl and the gel was inside the fabric. It is ok directly on the skin. I have one pair but wanted more. It seems they have been discontinued. Now if I search I just get this same product repackaged with a different company name.

I got custom orthodics 30 years ago because I have very high arches but don’t wear them now because I go around mostly in bare feet. I know I could use the support so I tried these out. As far as comfort goes, they’re not much different from the orthodics.... meaning they get uncomfortable after a while so I remove them. Quality is good, not too hard but not too soft or there would be no support. May be too tight for someone with a larger foot because I’m in a size 8 shoe and any tighter would probably be too uncomfortable. My only problem with these is that I can’t pull them far enough toward my heal to better support my arch and make them more comfortable. If they had made them like a toeless sock with a heel and less material on top where they hit the highest part of your instep they’d be perfect.

This product was way, way small. it wouldn't even fit my hand much less a foot! I would not put this on a four year old.

This is my second pair of these arch support sleeves. They are durable and comfortable.I wear them over my socks. Great for my feet at work. I stand up and walk most of the work day.

Having a recent on-again bout with plantar fasciitis, I needed additional arch support and saw these items. They have worked as described and I like the added support. I have very high arches so standard arch supports fall short. These have helped immensely. I wear them either over or under my socks. Either way works for me. I would buy them again (they come with 2 sets of arch supports) but hope I can get the heel pain under control.
