Product Description

Felt Crescent Corn Pads (Horseshoe Pads)

Soft felt corn pads designed to reduce direct pressure on painful corns and other small high-pressure areas of the foot. The crescent shape sits around the tender spot rather than over it, helping to cushion surrounding tissue while improving comfort in footwear.

Suitable for podiatry use and for informed home users who need simple, practical pressure relief during daily walking, standing, or time in shoes.

Key selling points

Helps offload pressure from painful corns during daily activity
Crescent or horseshoe shape surrounds the sensitive area without covering it
Self-adhesive backing for quick, simple placement
Soft semi-compressed wool felt for cushioning and protection
Can be applied to the skin or inside suitable footwear
Pack of 36 pads for clinic stock or repeat home use

What it does / How it works

A corn pad works by redistributing load away from the sore central area. Instead of allowing pressure and friction to continue directly over the corn, the aperture and surrounding felt create a small offloading zone.

This can help make walking and footwear more tolerable, especially where corns develop over bony prominences or in areas that rub repeatedly against the shoe.

Common problems it may help with

Painful corns caused by pressure or rubbing
Foot discomfort from tight or hard footwear
Tender spots over toes or other bony areas
Localised friction during walking or standing
Short-term cushioning after podiatry treatment where appropriate

Applications / Who it’s suitable for

People with painful corns who need local pressure relief
Users who spend long periods on their feet
Those wearing enclosed footwear where rubbing is a problem
Podiatrists and foot health professionals using felt padding as part of routine care
Patients looking for a simple cushioning option while reviewing footwear or pressure points

Who it may not be suitable for

Open wounds, broken skin, or actively infected areas
People with adhesive sensitivity or skin reactions to dressings
Users unable to monitor the skin properly once the pad is applied
Anyone with diabetes, poor circulation, or reduced sensation who has not first checked with a clinician
Situations where footwear is excessively tight and likely to increase pressure rather than relieve it

Contraindications & warnings

Do not apply over broken, bleeding, or infected skin.
Stop use if irritation, redness, or discomfort increases.
Take extra care with fragile skin or known sensitivity to adhesives.

If pain persists, the area worsens, or the lesion may not be a corn, seek assessment from a podiatrist or other qualified clinician.

FAQs

What are felt crescent corn pads used for?

They are used to reduce pressure on painful corns by surrounding the sore area with cushioning felt. This helps limit rubbing and direct load from footwear and walking.

How does the crescent or horseshoe shape help?

The central opening leaves the painful spot less exposed to direct pressure. The felt supports the surrounding area instead, which can improve comfort when the corn is irritated by shoes or weight bearing.

Can these pads be used inside shoes?

Yes. They can be applied inside suitable footwear if that gives a better fit or more secure hold. The shoe should still have enough room so the pad does not create extra pressure.

Can they be applied directly to the skin?

Yes, provided the skin is intact, clean, and dry, and there is no sensitivity to adhesives. Do not apply to broken or infected skin.

Are these suitable for daily use?

They may be used as part of day-to-day pressure relief, provided the skin is checked regularly and the pad is replaced when needed. Long-term comfort also depends on addressing the cause of friction or pressure, such as footwear fit.

Can they be used after podiatry treatment?

They may be useful after routine podiatry care where local cushioning is appropriate. Clinical judgement should be used if the skin is fragile, recently treated, or tender.

Are they suitable for people with diabetes?

Anyone with diabetes, poor circulation, loss of sensation, or previous ulceration should seek professional advice before using self-adhesive corn pads or self-treating foot lesions.

Do these pads remove the corn?

No. They are designed to cushion and offload pressure rather than remove hard skin. If the corn remains painful or keeps returning, a podiatry assessment may be helpful.

Can they be used with insoles or orthotics?

They can be used alongside insoles or orthotics if there is enough room in the shoe and the combination does not increase pressure. Check comfort carefully after fitting.

When should professional advice be sought?

Seek advice if the area is very painful, red, swollen, broken, bleeding, or not improving, or if you are unsure whether the lesion is a corn.
