FAQs
How many pairs of gel pads are included?
The Forcefield Gel Pad comes with two pairs of gel pads in each package.
Can I use these in athletic shoes?
Yes, they are designed to be versatile and can be used in most athletic footwear to enhance comfort and shock absorption.
Are these washable?
Yes, they can be hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry completely.
Will these help with arch support?
The Forcefield Gel Pad primarily focuses on heel cushioning and ball-of-foot support. They are not specifically designed for arch support.
How long do the gel pads typically last?
With proper care and regular use, the gel pads are durable and should maintain their effectiveness for a significant period. Longevity can vary based on usage intensity and frequency.
Can I cut the gel pads to fit my shoes better?
It is not recommended to cut the gel pads, as this may compromise the material and affect their performance and durability.
Are these suitable for children?
The product is designed for adults. For children's footwear, please consult with a specialist to ensure appropriate sizing and support.
Troubleshooting
Gel pad not staying in place
Ensure the inside of the shoe is clean, dry, and free of debris. Reapply the pad firmly. If the adhesive has worn, consider replacing the pads.
Discomfort after wearing
Adjust the placement of the gel pad. Ensure it is not bunched up or creating pressure points. Try wearing for shorter periods initially to allow feet to adjust.
Pad feels too thick
While designed to be slim, some very tight-fitting shoes may still feel snugger. Try them in a slightly roomier pair of shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
