When placing them side by side, a triangular space should form between them; if not, swap the pads to achieve the correct orientation.

How long does a pad last before replacing it?

The lifespan varies according to use and maintenance; signs of wear include loss of adhesion, deformation of the gel, or fabric breakage; in such cases, it is recommended to replace them.

It should be washed before first use. Both pads should always be used to ensure symmetry and proper load distribution. The identification of the left and right pad is done by placing both side by side; a triangular space should form between them; if not, reverse the orientation. Remove the protective film from the non-slip base before placement. The pad should be placed in the widest part of the footwear, slightly tilted towards the forefoot area so that the metatarsal heads rest on the cushioned area. Avoid sticking on damp or damaged surfaces; after use, allow to air dry and, if necessary, wash with warm water and mild soap, avoiding dryers and harsh chemical products.

In people with diabetes, arthritis, polyneuritis, lower limb neuropathy, or vascular diseases, consult a doctor beforehand and monitor the skin during use, paying special attention to the interdigital area and the possible appearance of redness or friction lesions. In case of persistent pain, increased symptoms, or any unusual dermatological reaction, seek medical evaluation. Avoid use if the device shows deformities, loss of adhesive, or fabric breakage; any serious incident related to the device should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent health authority.
