What causes it

  • High-impact sports such as running, tennis and basketball
  • Thin-soled or high-heeled shoes
  • Calluses under the forefoot
  • Common forefoot problems such as Morton’s neuroma

How Bunga Pads help

A soft fabric sleeve holds a gel pad under the ball of the foot. It cushions every step without needing adhesive and moves with your foot.

Tips for the best fit

  • Place the gel just behind the toes, under the ball of the foot.
  • Choose the thinner Diminutive pad for tight shoes and skates.
  • The Foot Pouch covers the whole forefoot for skaters and dancers.
Not sure which pad or size you need? Tell us your sport, shoe size and where it hurts, and we will help you choose.
