I don't think the Lidoderms work well on the bottoms of the feet.
For one thing, the skin is REALLY thick on the bottoms of the feet and substances don't get thru the thick skin well.
Dead skin cells are not very water permeable.

You can try them there and see for yourself.

Here is a thread about placement suggestions for the feet:

There is a link in one of my posts there showing anatomy and
why putting the patches is better over larger nerves that are
near the thinner skin on the top of the foot, or ankle.
