Fat Pad Atrophy is the thinning of the fatty tissue under the heel bone and the forefoot, resulting in pain when standing, walking and running. Fat Pad Atrophy is a difficult condition to treat and one of the most effective treatment methods is insoles or inserts. This article will recommend two of the best inserts for Fat Pad Atrophy.

Best Shoe Inserts For Fat Pad Atrophy
We recommend the Vasole Insoles for Fat Pad atrophy due to their extra cushioning under the heel, the deep heel cup and the high arch support.
The deep heel cup heels bunch the fatty tissue together while the extra cushioning helps to protect the heel bone. The high arch support helps to control pronation forces that can overload the fat pad of the forefoot and alongside the met dome, it takes the pressure off the forefoot.
We recommend Dr Scholls Insoles for Fat Pad Atrophy due to their gel cushion heel cup, moderate arch support and gel cushioned support throughout the insole.
The deep heel cup bunches the fat pad, the reinforced arch helps control pronation moments, and the consistent gel cushion provides padding throughout the foot. This is a much wider insole than the Vasole, and therefore, it works better inside a cushioned trainer or wide-fitted shoe.
