OrthoSole High Heel Metatarsal Pads
When you're dressed up for a night on the town, the last thing you want to feel is pain in the balls of your feet when wearing your new pair of heels. The OrthoSole High Heel Metatarsal Pads tackle the issue of foot discomfort and pain with their cushioning design which supports the metatarsal areas of the feet.
How Can These Insoles Benefit Me?
The OrthoSole High Heel Pads are an accessory designed for the professional woman always on her feet. Whether heading to that big meeting or to a highly anticipated party, the last thing you want to feel is foot pain from wearing your high heels. This is where the High Heel Pads come in: designed for use in heeled shoes, they protect the forefoot with their cushioning design to ensure you can stay on your feet and looking your best.
What's Included with My Purchase?
Each purchase of the Heel Lift Insoles includes the following:
- 1 x Pair of High Heel Pad Insoles (Left and Right)
- 2 x Pair of A and B Heel Pad Pieces
How Do the OrthoSole Metatarsal Pads Work?
Included with the High Heel Pad Insoles are two separate support pieces, labelled A and B, which are designed to be placed underneath the second and third metatarsal for comfortable wear. However, they can be moved to wherever you find them most effective in order to provide optimal and personalised support. The pieces are interchangeable depending on which is found most comfortable.
What Difference Do the Heel Pads Make?
When the OrthoSole Heel Insoles are placed inside the wearer's shoes and underneath the foot, the pressure and stress on the feet are lowered, which helps with reducing fatigue. The pain and burning sensation sometimes felt in high heels is also alleviated with this product.
Where Do I Place These Insoles?
The High Heel Pads are designed to be placed under the metatarsals (also known as the ball of the foot). With regard to specific placing, we recommend trying a couple of different areas and finding what is comfortable to you before fully affixing the inserts.
Do I Have to Use the Extra Support Pieces?
The A and B support pieces are included to optimise support. You can choose to wear the High Heel Pads without the pieces if you find this to be more comfortable.
When Can I Wear These Insoles?
These OrthoSole Insoles are intended to be used with high heels as the design of the product means they are most appropriately placed where the most pressure on the foot is felt. Please note that for tight fitting footwear, choosing insoles one size down is recommended.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results
Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
