There are five metatarsal bones, all of which must rest on the ground at the same time, so that the weight is distributed over all the bones. Pain due to overload occurs when all the bones do not touch the ground at the same time. It is therefore imperative to wear orthopedic insoles to distribute the weight over all the metatarsals.
