SkinnyDips Toe Pads

You know, I wouldn't necessarily rate these as bad if they weren't advertised as ultra thin. These toe pads are much thicker than the Pointe Pockets by Gaynor Minder. I mostly wear lambswool, but I have some shoes wear I need a bit more padding, the fit isn't as snug, and I wanted to explore very thin gel toe pads. This is not it. It's been a long time since I've worn ouch pouches, so I don't have them to compare, but these can't be thinner, and if it's not thinner than an ouch pouch (a very in the middle of the road level of padding), than I don't see how they can call themselves ultra thin. I received mine in white, which was nice. The purple was my first choice, but you can't go wrong with plain white. When I tried them on sock side in, I felt a lot of sliding and springiness in my shoe. I felt very unstable. When I flipped them over, it was better. My toes sunk into the gel, that's how thick this pad is! So if you're buying them thinking you won't have the sweaty gel up against your feet, that might not be the case. IMO it's like they took the fabric side off of a thicker toe pad, and then used that as the deciding factor in it being ultra thin. It's unbelievable really.
