• Ultra-thin and elastic fabric compatible with closed footwear without creating noticeable bulk.
• Non-slip base that keeps the pad in position during walking.

Is it suitable for people who practice sports?

Yes. It is designed to reduce pressure on the forefoot during walking and activities with moderate impact; it can be used in fitness sessions and recreational training. It does not replace custom insoles for high performance.

Can it be used with any type of footwear?

It fits better in closed footwear with sufficient volume in the forefoot. In extremely tight footwear, it may affect comfort.

How should it be cleaned and stored?

Washing with water and neutral soap and air drying are the recommended procedures; avoid direct heat and harsh detergents to preserve the gel.

How long does a pad last?

Duration depends on use and maintenance; the material maintains functional properties with correct use, but it is recommended to periodically check for wear and deformation.

Is it safe for people with diabetes or neuropathy?

In people with diabetes, arthritis, polyneuritis or peripheral neuropathy, prior consultation with the medical team and frequent monitoring of skin condition during use is recommended.

Can it be used on wounds or ulcers?

No. Its use on open wounds or active ulcers is not advisable.

Does it cause allergic reactions?

It contains silicone and a polyamide/elastane blend; if there is a known allergy to any of these materials, its use is not recommended.

Is it an anti-doping certified product for competitions?

Not applicable. As it is an external orthopedic device, it is not subject to anti-doping certification; however, athletes should confirm the specific regulations of their federation if there are any restrictions on orthoses or external supports.

Directions for use or instructions
1. Before first use, the product must be washed with water and neutral soap and left to air dry.
2. Symmetrical use of both pads helps to evenly distribute weight and provides stability while walking.
3. Placement is done by sliding the foot into the garment as if it were a slipper; the elastic fabric adjusts the pad to the metatarsal area. Use with stockings or socks is recommended to reduce direct skin-gel contact.
4. To preserve the properties of the gel, regular cleaning should be done with water and neutral soap; avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or direct heat.
5. Periodic checks of the integrity of the gel and fabric allow detection of wear and assessment for replacement.

• Specific warnings: indications and precautions, technical advice
• Do not use in case of known allergy to silicone, polyamide or elastane.

• If new pain, persistent redness, ampoules or other dermatological reactions appear, it is advised to discontinue use and consult a professional.
• Avoid exposing the pad to direct heat sources (hairdryers, radiators) and to aggressive cleaning products that may degrade the gel.
• Do not sterilize in autoclave or subject to procedures that modify its physical structure.
• Any serious incident related to the device must be reported to the manufacturer and the competent health authority.
