Orthotics for Metatarsalgia.

4.95Rated by customers

Metatarsalgia is pain in the ball of the foot, most often described as walking on a pebble that never moves. The pressure lands on a few small joints instead of spreading out. For metatarsalgia we specifically recommend our Full Length Orthotic Insoles, with an integrated metatarsal dome that widens the area taking that load.

  • Heel cup that holds your heel in place
  • Contoured arch support
  • Fits the shoes you already own

Got questions?

What is Metarsalgia?

Metatarsalgia is pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, caused by excess pressure on the metatarsal bones. It's often linked to high arches, flat feet, tight footwear or high-impact activity, and tends to feel sharp, aching or burning under the forefoot.
Can insoles really help Metatarsalgia?

Yes. A metatarsal dome positioned just behind the ball of your foot redistributes pressure across the forefoot rather than concentrating it on the inflamed area, which is why orthotics with metatarsal support are a widely recommended treatment for metatarsalgia.
How long does it take for insoles to work?

Many people notice reduced heel pain within the first couple of weeks of consistent wear, with fuller relief building over several weeks as your foot adapts. Everyone's recovery timeline is different, so pair insoles with stretching and supportive footwear for best results.
Should I wear insoles all the time?

Daily wear gives the most consistent support. If you're new to orthotics, ease in over the first week rather than wearing them a full day straight away, so your feet can adjust.
Are SOLE5 orthotics podiatrist designed?

Yes. SOLE5 insoles are designed from practising podiatrists and are TGA/ARTG-registered, so you're getting clinically informed support, not a generic foam insert.
What's the difference between the Full Length and Half Length?

Full Length gives maximum support and fits shoes with removable insoles. Half Length is more versatile, fitting in almost any shoe, including ones with limited depth.
