Rosalind - what do you mean by "sheilds"? Full size silicone pads? Met dome? etc?

most of the major pod supplies do silipos or their own version of it.

Canonbury , Timesco, DLT all have the full range.

You should find something there to suit you need

Hope that helps

cheers

Please see image for Metatarsal Shields

Hi to all who replied. I have attached a PDF copy of a metatarsal shield that I saw on an American website. I have not been able to find this in the UK anywhere. It is a silicon pad that slips over the 5th digit and is very help for a tailor's bunion. If you know anywhere in the UK that sells them (Algeos do not), I would be most grateful as to have anything shipped from abroad is expensive. Many thanks.

Re: Supplier of Metatarsal Shields in the UK

Hi again

I would have thought a length of silipos mesh tube cut accordingly would have done the job ??

Cheers
Derek

Hi SS, you are a star. I will order these straight away from Algeos (first time I checked I searched for Metarsal shields, that is how I missed it).
Many many thanks.

Thanks for that Bruce. I have bought some met shields from Algeos but I will have a look at the talarmade site as it looks interesting.

Re: Supplier of Metatarsal Shields in the UK

Hi Ji, thanks very much for this info. I will certainly see what they have to offer. I have always been very impressed with Australian products, Flexitol, etc, so I will look to see what they have. I have managed to find the metatarsal shields I was after so I am o.k. with that item anyway.

Best wishes.
