I had a pressure point on the little toe toward the other toes - so inside. That was very painful, no matter what shoes I wore. This was especially unpleasant course in slim-fitting shoes. Patches have not helped me, so I tried this tube bandage and she has helped well! Since there was no open wound, I have used it with no pavement below. So if you have similar problems, which I would highly recommend this hose bandage!
