CAFFREY Cortona Ball-of-Foot Cushions

CAFFREY Cortona ball-of-foot cushions combine a genuine sheep-leather top cover with elastic latex padding. They sit inside the shoe beneath the ball of your foot, the padded area just behind your toes, to help ease pressure and discomfort in heels and reduce forward slipping in your shoes. Each pack contains two pads, one for each shoe, in Black or Crema.

Cushioning where your foot meets the shoe

When your foot slides towards the front of your shoe, the forefoot can feel crowded. Cortona adds a cushioned layer under the ball of the foot to help ease pressure and discomfort, while its grip helps reduce that forward movement. Its compact shape leaves the heel and arch free, so you can add cushioning where you need it without a full-length insole.

Genuine leather and elastic latex

The sheep-leather top cover absorbs excess moisture. Underneath, elastic latex provides cushioning to help soften impact as you walk. The leather side faces your foot, with the wide, rounded end towards your toes and the narrow end towards your heel.

Fitting your pads

First, place a pad inside each shoe with the backing still on. Position it beneath the padded area just behind your toes, with the wide end facing forwards. Try the shoe to check the position and make sure your toes still have enough room. Once the fit feels right, remove the backing paper and press the pad firmly into place.

Choose your pair

Cortona comes in one size, in Black or Crema. Use it in heels, pumps, flats or sandals with room for a forefoot pad. The pack contains one pair: two pads for two shoes. The product images on this page show Crema.
