Felt Shoe 'Tongue Pads'

Felt Tongue Pads easily tighten loose-fitting shoes by pushing the heel into the heel seat of the shoe, creating a proper fit. Great for helping narrow feet fit into medium-sized shoes. Felt Tongue Pads are also used to prevent damage to toenails. The pads are adhesive-backed and work in all enclosed men's and women's shoes, including loafers, dress shoes, hiking boots, ski boots, running shoes, high heels, and more! More than one pad might be needed for proper fitting in shoes that are too big. Pads measure 3 inches by 1 3/4 inches by 1/8 inch. Latex-free. Universal right/left. By Myfootshop.com. 6 per pack.

Indications - Felt Tongue Pads are used to modify loose shoes, shoes that are too wide, and shoes that slip on the heels. Can also be used to protect prominent areas and problems such as saddle bone deformities, Haglund's deformities, and tailor's bunions. Also used to prevent injuries to toenails including runner's nail.

Foot Care Tip! Split tongue pads are the conservative treatment of choice for saddle bone deformities and entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve. Be sure to follow the link to saddle bone deformities to see images of proper placement and how to use a split tongue pad to treat this condition.

Question:

Can I use more than one of these in my shoe? It seems like if I used a couple, my shoe would fit even better?

Answer:

Sure. You can use any number of pads. Some of our customers use them on the sides of the shoe (inside) and on the underside of the tongue. But there's no limit to how many you can use.

Question:

I have saddle bone deformty and need to know how to make and use the tongue pads.

Answer:

You need to cut the Tongue Pad vertically down the middle, and place each side on the tongue (or upper) of your shoe, with enough space between them to accomdate your saddle bone. If you read our article on Saddle Bone deformity, and click on the picture of the tennis shoes, you will see how to place the 2 sides of the Tongue Pads.

Question:

Since most tongue pads are larger on one side than the other, which side (larger or smaller)do you place in first?

Answer:

Typically, the wider end would be closer to the opening of your shoe, as the shoe's upper is wider at the top than at the area closer to the toe. However, it is entirely up to you as to which end you place closer to the toe. If you need to take up more room near the toe, then place the wider end of the tongue pad in first.
