I tried them off & on for the 1st year. They didn't seem to help with the pain, instead they seemed to irritate & make the pain worse. I don't mean that I am allergic to the sticky stuff or lidocaine, cause I aint' *LOL* It just made my pain worse for the most part. At that time my feet were sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sensitive to anything touching them that that might have been the problem. I have not tried them since & don't even want to.
