foot petals shoe cushions

Most interior cushions use a self-stick or self-adhesive backing for easy placement. Heel or sole repair plates, however, are typically intended to be glued to the outsole.

These cushions are described for a wide range of footwear: high heels, sandals, leather shoes, dancing shoes, sports shoes, boots, flats, and sneakers. Pointe and toe pads are listed separately for dance shoes.

Listed sizes vary. Lengths range from about 2.1 inches up to 5 inches and widths from about 0.8 inches to 4 inches. Some listings also give metric sizes (for example, 9.5 x 7.5 x 0.4 cm, shown as about 4 5/8 x 3 x 1/8 inches).

Some sponge/cloth metatarsal cushions are described as washable and reusable, and certain self-stick fabric or sponge cushions are noted as reusable. However, many product descriptions do not clearly specify washability or reusability.

Clean the shoe area thoroughly, apply glue to the back of the repair pad, press it onto the sole, and let it air-dry for a few hours before wearing.
