Podotech Low Density Metatarsal Bars for Insoles Express Kit (Pack of 10 Pairs)
Finding the right level of support for your entire foot can be hard. Even when using one of the Express Kits available from Podotech, you still need to make sure you get all the components you need. The Podotech Low Density Metatarsal Bar provides support and comfort to the metatarsal area of the feet to help alleviate pain and discomfort in this area.
Who can benefit from the Low Density Metatarsal Bars?
The low density metatarsal bars are designed for use with the Express Kits. This means they are available for use for a large number of people. However, they are specifically suitable for those suffering from the following conditions:
- Metatarsal Pain
- Metatarsalgia
This is due to the way the bar provides support and cushioning to this area of the foot. This takes away the pressure from the metatarsal area, helping to relieve pain and discomfort.
The bar is made from a low density material. This means it is soft and comfortable. The bar cushions this area of the foot, further providing support and stability to an area that can otherwise become inflamed and painful.
Features of the Low Density Metatarsal Bars
The bars are available in three different sizes to suit the majority of foot types.
They are supplied in packs of ten pairs.
How Do I Correctly Fit My Bar?
Due to micro-nuances and differences in the shape and size of every persons feet, we recommend that you visit a podiatrist to have your Podotech Pad fitted.
If you are already aware of the position required, we recommend taking an adhesive strip or piece of sticky tape and pressing down until they are firmly in place.
Fitting Tips and Tricks
- Visit a podiatrist to confirm the affected area
- If you're unsure of exact placement, experiment with the position across the rough area
- If you find the perfect area, trace the outline of the bar using a marker against your insole for future reference
- Use strong adhesive strips to apply your a bar to your insoles or tape it down using a thin strip of kinesiology tape

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.
