Apolla socks have knit-in energy absorption pads and customers rave about how it has helped with any inflammation-related pain in the balls of the feet, i.e. sesamoiditis. We consider our padding the "goldilocks" of padding...not too thick and not too thin. 😉
It is not super thick but it is effective. Our energy absorption pads have several independent studies showing their efficacy in reducing force. *Note: This is all the styles with balls of the feet and heels (as we have 3 styles with no padding).
Please let me know if you have any further questions. ❤️
