I bought the runner one and the general semi-rigid one. Are you supposed to "feel" these?? They're almost more aggravating than anything in the arch area. And how would you work up to wearing them??
The polysorb is the one we carry in clinic. I usually tell patients to wear it for an hour or two the first day, 3 or 4 the next, and so on until you work up to a full day. If you're not used to the additional support it will feel strange.
Also, make sure and take the insoles that come with your shoes out if they're removable. They offer no support and will just make the shoes too tight with the addition of the insoles

Anyway you could post a pic of your feet? If you want to post a selfie that would be cool too
The formation of calluses is caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells that harden and thicken over an area of the foot. This callus formation isthe body’s defense mechanism to protect the foot against excessive pressure and friction. Calluses are normally found on the ball-of-the-foot, the heel, and/or the inside of the big toe. Some calluses have a deep seated core known as a nucleation. This particular type of callus can be especially painful to pressure. This condition is often referred to as Intractable Plantar Keratosis.
CAUSE
Calluses develop becuase of excessive pressure at a specific area of the foot. Some common causes of callus formation are high-heeled dress shoes, shoes that are too small, obesity, abnormalities in the gait cycle (walking motion), flat feet, high arched feet, bony prominences, and the loss of the fat pad on the bottom of the foot.
TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
Many people try to alleviate the pain caused by calluses by cutting or trimming them with a razor blade or knife. This is not the way to properly treat calluses. This is very dangerous and can worsen the condition resulting in unnecessary injuries. Diabetics especially should never try this type of treatment. To relieve the excessive pressure that leads to callus formation, weight should be redistributed equally with the use of an orthotic. An effective orthotic transfers pressure away from the “hot spots” or high pressured areas to allow the callus to heal. The orthotic should be made with materials that absorb shock and shear (friction) forces. Women should also steer away from wearing high-heeled shoes. As always, surgery should be the very last resort.
If the problem persists, consult your foot doctor.

Would stretching and strengthening help with this???
If it is indeed capsulitis then I don't think you'll see too much help from that. The key is offloading the joint as much as possible which is accomplished with the insoles and the taping of the toe
If you Google "2nd mpj capsulitis taping" you should see several examples
