Flexipro Plantar Pad Size L

• Immediate relief of forefoot plantar pain by pressure redistribution.
• Prevention and reduction of hard skin and calluses.
• Improved comfort during prolonged standing and training sessions.
• Optimized thickness (2.2 mm) allowing adaptation to closed footwear without feeling a lump.
• Breathable fabric and non-slip base for stable and comfortable use.
• Design compatible with regular use of sports supplements and sports nutrition by facilitating continuity of physical activity.

What exactly is this pad for?

It is used to reduce localized pressure in the metatarsal area, relieve forefoot pain, and help prevent the formation of hard skin and calluses by redistributing body weight.

Who benefits most from its use?

People with mild to moderate metatarsalgia, users who spend a lot of time standing, recreational and high-performance athletes seeking comfort in the forefoot, patients in podiatric rehabilitation programs, and older adults with plantar pad wear.

Is the effect noticeable immediately?

Yes. The action is immediate upon application, as the gel mechanically modifies the distribution of plantar loads.

Can it be used with insoles or other orthoses?

Generally yes, as long as there is enough space in the footwear. The pad is low profile but it is advisable to check the fit with the usual insole.

Is it suitable for sports shoes and for boots or heels?

Designed mainly for closed footwear; it is compatible with most sports shoes and some low to medium heel models. In high heels, the foot position changes and may affect efficacy or cause friction, so it is recommended to assess on a case-by-case basis.

Can a diabetic person use it?

In people with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, or vascular problems, prior medical consultation and frequent monitoring of skin condition are advised to avoid undetected injuries.

How is it cleaned and how long does it last?

Wash with water and neutral soap before first use and periodically; air dry. Durability depends on use and care; replace if gel or fabric deterioration is observed.

Does it include anti-doping certification?

Not applicable as a food or pharmaceutical product; as a medical device it is not subject to anti-doping certifications. Acceptance in competitions depends on specific regulations of each organization.

1. Wash before first use with warm water and neutral soap. Let air dry.
2. Always use both pads, one per foot.
3. Place by sliding the foot into the garment as if it were a slipper, positioning the gel over the forefoot area (metatarsal heads).
4. Preferably use with stockings or socks for better support and product durability.
5. Start with short periods of use if sensitive skin is present; gradually increase according to tolerance.
6. Maintain periodic foot inspection in users at risk (diabetes, neuropathy).

• Do not use in case of known allergy to any of the materials (silicone, polyamide, elastane).
• Do not apply on open wounds, dermatitis, or cracked skin.
• In people with diabetes, arthritis, polyneuritis, peripheral neuropathy, or varicose ulcers, consult a doctor before use and monitor the foot during use, paying attention to the interdigital band to avoid friction.
• If new pain, persistent redness, ampoules, or any unusual reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• Avoid continuous use if loss of integrity of the gel or fabric is detected; replace the device.
• Do not attempt to repair or trim the gel; any modification may alter its biomechanical properties.
