Felt Arch Support Pads to Treat Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Spurs
Felt arch support pads are an inexpensive alternative to treat plantar fasciitis and heel spur syndrome. A felt arch support pad is a soft orthotic made of medical grade 1/4 inch felt. The advantages of a felt arch support are several. Just place the device in a shoe, no need to cast or heat mold an orthotic. The felt will mold over time (usually in two days) to the shape of the foot. This provides superior longitudinal arch control. The 3/4 length provides for extra toe room in the shoe. Since the felt arch support is flexible, there is an ease to modifications. The light weight cotton felt is comfortable in the shoe.
Atlas Biomechanics manufactures arch pads in the USA from medical grade felt. Arch cushions have adhesive on one side. Either apply them to the skin or directly to the shoe.

Budin Splints Treating Hammertoe and Ball of Foot Pain
A Budin Splint is a simple medical device that can help alleviate the discomfort of painful crooked hammertoes and ball of foot pain. The Budin Splint is also called a hammertoe regulator or crooked toe splint has been used for several decades due to its treatment success.The Budin Splint is basically a simple cushioned metatarsal pad with one, two or three adjustable elastic loops. The loop is placed over the crooked toe and the metatarsal pad cushion is positioned on the ball of the foot. As the ball of foot pad pushes up, the hammertoe is straightened at the MPJ by the elastic loop.
Many patients have noticed that when they wear the Budin Splint for a period of time, that their crooked hammertoe becomes more straight. It all depends on how bad the hammertoe is to begin with. The Budin Splint is meant to wear with on your feet with shoes or socks. It doesn’t work when sleeping. One should place the Budin splint as far back on the hammertoe and gently tighten the adjustable loop. Over tightening the adjustable loops can constrict circulation in patients with Diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. With proper use a Budin Splint can help straighten hammertoes and cushion the ball of feet.
