The arch aperture pad is a foam offloading pad designed with a central cutout that redistributes plantar pressure away from a painful or sensitive area of the arch. In clinical practice, aperture pads are a foundational tool in conservative management of plantar soft tissue lesions, localized arch pain, and conditions requiring targeted offloading without full orthotic fabrication. Placement precision matters — the aperture should be centered over the area of maximum tenderness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Felt Arch Support & Offloading Pads used for?

These versatile felt pads provide targeted cushioning and support. They can be positioned beneath the arch, used as a metatarsal pad in the forefoot, or placed strategically to help redistribute pressure away from sensitive areas.

Where should I place the pad?

Placement depends on the type of support you need. The pad may be positioned beneath the arch for additional support or behind the ball of the foot for metatarsal support. For offloading, placement should be adjusted to help reduce direct pressure on the sensitive area.

Can I trim the pads?

Yes. The felt material can be carefully trimmed to customize the size, shape, and fit for your foot and footwear.

Can I use these as metatarsal pads?

Yes. They can be positioned behind the ball of the foot to provide metatarsal support and help redistribute pressure across the forefoot.

Will these fit inside my shoes?

They are designed for use inside most footwear. Because they add some thickness, shoes with adequate room or removable insoles may provide the most comfortable fit.

Are these the same as aperture pads?

No. An aperture pad typically has an opening designed to surround and offload a specific pressure point. These are solid felt pads that can be positioned or trimmed for arch support, metatarsal support, cushioning, or offloading.

How do I know where to position the pad?

Proper placement is important, particularly when using the pad for metatarsal support or offloading. If you are unsure where to place it, consult your podiatrist or other qualified healthcare professional for guidance.
