This term refers to any disorder or irregularity associated with the bottom sole area of the forefoot. Pain or discomfort usually occurs in the metatarsal area (behind toes) or in the ball of foot area. Shoes that are too short and hard surfaces may aggravate this condition.

For immediate relief, try soft-soled shoes with ample room in the forefoot. Metatarsal pads in your shoes or insoles will support the forefoot properly, taking stress off painful areas. In addition, a New Balance shoe with a Stability Web will help support the midfoot and provide assistance to the forefoot.
