(1) Does the lift/pad go under only the 1st metatarsal or also the 1st toe?
(2) Can the lift/pad go under the insole of the shoe, or must it be placed directly on the foot so that it only lifts the 1st metatarsal and nothing else (such as the 1st toe).
Thanks!
Are you talking about a Morton's neuroma or some other metatarsal problem?
I have had good results placing the pad under the insole of the shoe. I also do not place it directly under the metatarsal, rather I place it slightly behind the point of discomfort.
Not a neuroma, but I think the Morton's toe is causing other issues.

So are you saying you put it not only posterior to the 1st toe but posterior to the metatarsal as well? So that it's actually posterior to the ball of the foot?
I have wondered this same thing.
Under the toe itself or not?
Bumped for more thoughts.
