Hi I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and I'm not sure which type of insole I need, the in my feet is just behind my toes and pain in the ball of my foot is severe and I also can get blister bubble as friction causes immense heat, I'm looking for something that I can use in sandals gives pain relief with no friction! Can you help?

I'm getting terrible pain in my feet after standing for a while especially in the metatarsal area and also stinging in the tips of my middle toes. What could be the cause of this. Regards A walters

Hi Anthony,
If you are suffering from chronic foot pain, we would have to recommend that you see a specialist for a full and accurate diagnosis of your condition.
From your symptoms, however, it sounds as though you may be suffering from Morton's Neuroma. This is a condition that occurs when a nerve between your feet becomes inflamed.
Once again, I must stress that I am not medically trained and that it is important that you consult a medical professional. To find out more about Morton's Neuroma, please see our guide in the knowledge centre.
Best wishes,

Hi. I have been diagnosed with hallux rigidus, and have been given a pair of Slimflex Simple insoles. Having looked through your site, it would seem that a more specialist pair such as the RSL Steeper hallux rigidus insoles would be a far better choice. I can't really see how the Slimflex Simple would even help. What would you recommend?

Hi Beverley,
Thanks for getting into contact with us. I would recommend, rather than another Shoe Insoles, that you take a look at our selection of creams and gels for cracked heels (available here: https://www.shoeinsoles.co.uk/creams-and-gels.html). These should help to protect and repair the damaged skin.
I hope that this helps!
Best wishes,

No matter what shoes I wear I get a pain on the ball of my foot. My chiropodist suggests getting insoles as the shoes I am wearing (Nike trainers) have practically no padding in their soles. I have bought insoles but after trimming them to size I couldn't get my foot into the shoe. I'm an elderly male {84) with a UK size 9. Suggestions please.

hi I have just purchased Gaitway full length insoles as suggested by my podiatrist following a zoom meeting due to covid, However, the heel wedges that come with them do not come with any instructions for use, My left ankle and foot are both swollen and the pain seems to come from my instep. Any help would be welcome.

I have arthritis in my left foot. The toe next to my big toe is rigid and does not bend. After prolonged periods of walking the toe and sole become painful. Which insole would you suggest for my hiking boots?
