EVA CONTROL & OFFLOAD INSOLES FOR SESAMOIDITIS
 
Developed by UK podiatrists and based on UK university research, these insoles are designed to relieve pain beneath the big toe joint by redistributing pressure across the forefoot and improving foot mechanics.
 
They are ideal for people with sesamoiditis where excessive forefoot loading contributes to pain beneath the big toe joint.
 
KEY BENEFITS
 
Relieves pain beneath the big toe joint
Redistributes pressure across the forefoot
Reduces stress on the sesamoid bones
Supports the arch and helps control excessive pronation
Improves stability for greater walking comfort
 
HOW THE INSOLES WORK
 
Sesamoiditis occurs when repeated loading places excessive stress on the two small sesamoid bones beneath the big toe joint.
 
These insoles incorporate a precisely positioned metatarsal bar that sits just behind the metatarsal heads. This redistributes pressure across the forefoot, reducing pressure beneath the metatarsal heads during walking.
 
The supportive arch also helps control excessive pronation where this contributes to increased stress beneath the big toe joint, improving overall foot mechanics.
 
Together, these features redistribute pressure away from the painful area beneath the big toe joint, improve foot mechanics and reduce the repetitive stresses that contribute to sesamoid pain.

UNDERSTANDING SESAMOIDITIS
 
Sesamoiditis is an overuse injury affecting the two small sesamoid bones beneath the big toe joint.
 
These small bones sit within the tendons beneath the big toe joint, helping distribute pressure and improve the efficiency of movement during walking and running. Repetitive stress, particularly during push-off, can irritate the sesamoids and surrounding soft tissues, causing pain beneath the ball of the foot.
 
Contributing factors include:
 
Repetitive sporting activities
Increased forefoot loading
Excessive pronation
High-impact exercise
Unsupportive footwear
 
Common symptoms include:
 
Pain beneath the big toe joint
Tenderness under the ball of the foot
Pain when walking or pushing off
Swelling around the first metatarsophalangeal joint
 
Reducing pressure beneath the big toe joint is an important part of managing sesamoiditis. By redistributing pressure across the forefoot and improving foot mechanics, these insoles are designed to reduce the stresses associated with the condition and improve walking comfort.
