Indications for Comfortact™ Plus EPITACT® Metatarsal Pads
Do your daily activities require you to stand for long periods, but pain prevents you from fully enjoying them?
Comfortact™ Plus EPITACT® effectively prevent and relieve everyday pain under the forefoot (calluses, irritation, aging of the plantar cushion, prolonged standing, etc.).
Thanks to their EPITHELIUM 26® silicone gel which distributes pressure across the entire support area, they stop the formation of corns and also prevent callus formation.
Their strong point: comfort ! These metatarsal pads have a coating of gel beads with a massaging effect for optimal comfort with every step.
The EPITHELIUM 26® Silicone Gel Patent
Tested and validated in the laboratory, EPITHELIUM 26® is a silicone gel capable of distributing pressure and absorbing friction on the skin. It is patented as a "true substitute for the human plantar cushion."
Indeed, it has the same physical, mechanical, and viscoelastic characteristics as the plantar cushion. Comfortact™ Plus pads therefore compensate for the failure of this subcutaneous tissue and effectively relieve hyperpressure under the forefoot.
Usage Instructions for Comfortact™ Plus Pads
- Wash the metatarsal pads before first use and after each use.
- For optimal comfort, wear them directly on the skin (except on an unprotected wound) under stockings, tights, or socks.
Contraindications for EPITACT® Pads
- Do not use metatarsal pads on skin lesions.
- For people with diabetes, arteritis, polyneuritis, neuropathy of the lower limbs, or varicose ulcers: consult your doctor or podiatrist, then monitor your foot during use. The strap may cause friction between the two toes. Therefore, it is recommended that diabetics with neuropathy avoid this solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are metatarsalgias and calluses?
Metatarsalgias are pains located under the forefoot, near the metatarsal heads. They result from excessive pressure under the forefoot, caused or favored by foot deformity, age, prolonged standing, overweight, loss of the plantar cushion, etc. Due to repeated pressure, the skin triggers a defense reaction and thickens locally. This hard, yellowish skin area is called a callus.
What is the difference between Comfortact™ Plus pads and classic plantar pads?
The role of these two devices is similar thanks to the EPITHELIUM 26® silicone gel. Unlike classic plantar pads, Comfortact™ Plus metatarsal pads have been developed to offer maximum comfort. Indeed, they feature an ultra-comfortable interdigital strap for people with sensitive skin between the toes. The gel module is also covered with microbeads that provide a massaging effect with every step.
How to choose the right size of metatarsal pads?
The size choice for Comfortact™ Plus pads is based on your shoe size. Refer to the size chart available at the bottom of the page. If you hesitate between two sizes, choose the smaller one.
