Really happy with the Meta Lift Dome. It sticks extremely well and stays firmly in place without moving around. Simple, effective, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
The Bont MetaLift Dome is a self-adhesive metatarsal support designed to improve forefoot comfort inside shoes, skates, and compatible insoles.
Its Precision Placement System lets you test and adjust the position before permanently attaching the dome, helping you find the right support position before you commit.
Each box contains six individual domes (three pairs) in white, black, and beige.
Precision Placement System: Test and adjust the dome position before permanently attaching it.
Targeted Forefoot Support: Designed to sit behind the ball of the foot to support the transverse arch and help redistribute pressure across the forefoot.
Two-Stage Adhesive System: A temporary locating stage helps you find the correct position before using the permanent 3M adhesive.
Three Neutral Colors: Each set includes white, black, and beige domes for use with different shoes, skates, liners, and insoles.

The MetaLift Dome is positioned slightly behind the metatarsal heads rather than directly beneath the ball of the foot. Its contoured shape provides targeted support beneath the transverse arch and helps redistribute pressure across the forefoot.
Unlike a full-length orthotic or replacement insole, the compact dome targets a specific area of the foot while taking up minimal space inside the shoe or skate.

Correct positioning is an important part of fitting a metatarsal dome. The MetaLift Precision Placement System allows you to temporarily position and test the dome before exposing the permanent adhesive.
Once you've found a comfortable position, mark the location, remove the temporary locating layer, and use the permanent adhesive to secure the dome to a clean, dry surface.
The dome should feel supportive without creating a sharp pressure point. It should generally sit behind the metatarsal heads, commonly centered beneath the area between the second and third metatarsals.

Each MetaLift set contains six individual domes, equal to three pairs, in white, black, and beige.
The neutral colors make it easier to match the dome with different footwear, insoles, liners, and interior colors.
The MetaLift Dome can be used with compatible footwear that has sufficient internal space and a suitable surface for attachment, including:
Casual and everyday shoes
Walking and athletic shoes
Work shoes and boots
Inline skates
Roller skates
Ice skates
Cycling shoes
Other performance footwear
Its compact profile can be particularly useful in close-fitting footwear where replacing the entire insole would take up too much internal space.
Always check that adding the dome does not make the footwear excessively tight.

The MetaLift Dome can be fitted to the top or underside of a compatible removable insole, depending on the footwear and your preferred level of support.
On top of the insole: Provides more direct, localized support and makes the shape of the dome more noticeable beneath the foot.
Under the insole: Allows the insole material to sit between the foot and dome, which can create a more gradual and diffuse feeling of support.
The best position will depend on the insole thickness, footwear construction, available internal space, and personal comfort.

Remove the insole from the footwear where possible.
Locate the ball of the foot and approximate position of the metatarsal heads.
Position the dome slightly behind the metatarsal heads, generally centered beneath the second and third metatarsal area.
Use the temporary locating adhesive to hold the dome in place.
Return the insole to the footwear and carefully test the position.
Adjust the dome if the support feels too far forward, too far back, or uneven.
Once you've found the correct position, mark or trace the location.
Remove the temporary locating layer and expose the permanent adhesive.
Press the dome firmly onto a clean, dry surface.
Repeat for the second foot, using the first insole as a positioning reference where appropriate.
The dome should provide gentle support without creating sharp pressure, numbness, or increasing discomfort. Stop using the product and consult a qualified health professional if discomfort continues.
Where should the MetaLift Dome be positioned?
The dome should normally sit slightly behind the ball of the foot rather than directly underneath the metatarsal heads. It is generally centered beneath the area between the second and third metatarsals. Use the temporary positioning adhesive to test the location before permanently attaching the dome.
Can the MetaLift Dome be placed underneath the insole?
Yes. Placing the dome on top of the insole provides more direct and localized support. Placing it underneath a compatible removable insole can create a softer, more gradual feeling of support. The best option depends on the thickness and flexibility of the insole and your footwear.
Can I use the MetaLift Dome in skates or athletic footwear?
Yes, provided the footwear has sufficient internal space and a suitable attachment surface. The MetaLift Dome can be used in compatible inline skates, roller skates, ice skates, athletic shoes, work shoes, cycling shoes, and everyday footwear.
