What is Sesamoiditis?
There are two small floating bones on the underside of the big toe known as the sesamoid bones. The function of the sesamoid bones is to act as a pulley for the big toe’s flexor tendons to help propel during the gait cycle. If these bones become overloaded through a sudden increase in impact activity, they can become overloaded, inflamed and painful.
The best form of treatment for Sesamoiditis includes rest, anti-inflammatories, cushioned shoes and sesamoiditis insoles. In some cases of Sesamoiditis, off-the-shelf insoles can suffice. However, other cases may require a custom-made insole specific to a person’s foot type and biomechanics.
Best Insoles for Sesamoiditis
We recommend the Easyfeet insoles for Sesamoiditis due to their deep heel cup, medial arch support and gel forefoot pads.
The deep heel cup alongside the medial arch support provides stability to the hindfoot and helps to control excess pronation moments that can cause Sesamoiditis. The most important aspect is the gel pads under the forefoot, which act as a shock absorber to protect the sesamoid bones.

Custom Insoles for Sesamoiditis
At Flawless Physio, our feet specialists can make custom insoles specific to your needs. We carry out a Physical assessment, a 3D foot scan to capture the exact shape of your foot and use a state-of-the-art pressure plate to identify where you are placing pressure through your feet when you walk and stand.
Based on your assessment results, we can design a custom insole to offload the sesamoid bones and optimise your movement.
