    Pain in the ball of my foot from dancing...

    Dancing in heels has recently started giving me a bit of a pain in the ball of my foot.

    Do you get this? How often? Any remedy tips?

    I'm thinking of buying a top of the range foot spa massaging device type thing!? Anyone got one / recommend one?

    Yes, heels certainly make your balls hurt quicker than flats.

    I wear Party Feet gel insoles and they help a lot - don't eradicate it but certainly delay it.

    Thats what I thought most people did with them.

    I thought though that dancers might actually make regular use of one.

    Why not take it along to the weekender!??

    If its a REALLY good one, i'll buy it off you

    I see some on Amazon for about £60 - but even at that price the reviews are poor. I see one elsewhere for £100, - I would hope that that would be better, but there's no reviews...



    Lee - nope not Cubans (can't speak for rob though



    Does anyone know where I can buy dance soles which I could put on a normal pair of trainers?

    I did take mine on weekenders to begin with but it took too much room in the car. This is a piccy of mine in action with a well known forumite's feet in it (not mine)

    Just go to a good quality cobblers and ask if they do dance soles, I think I paid £9 for mine (inc attaching them to the shoes) and mens were about £11, they had a variety of shades too. Best thing I ever did as I have a lovely pair of comfy sketchers to dance in. Friends have brought the soles from the likes of TJ Houghes and then got the likes of Timpsons to fix them on.

    As for foot spa's I have one but find a bowl of water with some bubblebath, footscrubiness and moisurisers work just as well on weekenders (and its space saving as you can pack things into the bowl) x

    Aye aye me lover buy a pair of Sorbethin inners, ie running insoles for your shoes, you may have to buy a pair in an extra size. If you buy a couple of pairs you can change your shoes every hour or so as different shoes rub in different places.

    Not overly clear this is it? Basically buy a couple of pairs of expensive running, impact absorbing, insoles for yourself. Next buy a couple of pair of new shoes, an extra size larger then fit them all together, change your shoes often, then give it large me lover.

    Got there in the end mate.
