I just received my rainboots and they don't have an insole. Is the insole removable? The inside where the heel sits is a plastic web, uncomfortable.

Sounds like they're defective. Mine have an attached insole (with a slight bit of cush at the heel), no plastic webbing.

My cushy insole is solid and removable - if you have to pay to ship back I would ask if they could just send a pair of inserts in your size.

yes, a friend of mine also complains about that, it depend on boots probably.. some additional strap around ankle which will hold the heels` one might help, i guess :)

It could be helpful, to roll your insole across. Another option would be the Homemedics foot massager which we purchased this year as well.It is nice, but a larger device and not so portable.

I find it very true to size. I wear a size 10 and they fit me perfectly. There is an insert that can be removed, although I think it may be glued down but only in a few spots. I could pull mine out if I had to with little or no effort. I do know of a person who would pull his out and replace them with new inserts when his wore out. I hope this helps you decide. These are the most comfortable and well supporting shoes I have ever had. Whenever I have to get dressed up and put on high heels my feet just kill me. I hope you will be as pleased with the shoes as I am.

I always take out the original insole. Most are worthless. I have never had to "tear" them out, a little picking at the edge and they come out easily.

JCSF that is a great question, as I have that same problem and hate it! I am kind of picky about insoles, but I have found that the Dr Scholl's Active or Athletic series of insoles work the best for me in my workout, hiking, fashion boots, and even some of my fashion shoes and booties. Your feet stay cool, have great support, and comfort for those full days on your feet. FYI socks with all cotton, wool, or a wool blend will also help with keeping your feet cool and dry. They make thin, cute wool socks now a days. Good luck to you.

The back and sole are hard plastic, but the "straps" (there are 3) are velcro. I would say that it is not a boot in the sense that it would be pretty uncomfortable to walk in. However, like the others suggest, it is a great option (and not that different from a podaitrist provided but much more expensive option) for wearing for an hour or so at a time. I found that it was too uncomfortable/awkward to sleep in, but I definitely found relief just wearing it while reading or watching TV in the evening before bed. Definitely a good option for plantar faciitis.

I don't think so. It is a very thin insole with a small raised area that helps take pressure off the ball of your foot. I think they make small inserts for just the ball of foot area that should keep your foot from sliding forward. Some are made of gel and some are just a material that creates a little friction to keep your foot from sliding forward and they're a lot less expensive than these.

Definitely not steel. The toes are more free in this boot. Sorry. Hope you find what you need.

No, they just have a good insole, but nothing but "plastic boot" on the tops of your feet and legs. Hope this helps!

This is infinitely softer than prescribed orthotics because corrective orthotics are meant to rigidly fix ones arch. These promote comfort and are meant for short term use until you can see a specialist. I saw one and have chosen to continue wearing non prescribed insoles. These are only for your heel but I recommend a full insole because the pain will only move to the front of your foot when you use a half insole such as these.

no....however, however, I use insole cushion for the ball of my feet, it work, try it.....

yes - they are hard, black plastic but they are removable (as are the sox). There are many different kinds of shoes, boots, etc. available.

I personally could not wear these rain boots all day, especially on a trip where you are constantly walking, because they do not have enough arch support for me; I have a high arch. Also, something to think about if you are going when it is cold, is that I can only wear thin socks in my boots. I would recommend getting them and trying them around the house well in advance of your trip if you don't need much arch support. Have fun!

There is a small adhesive patch on the heel of the insole. If you move them to different shoes, the patch loses its adhesiveness. However, you can use double faced tape, and replace it is needed.

You can wear them in clogs with somewhat of a heel.area. They are amazing and have saved me foot pain for over a year. I think after a while they wear down so you will need a new pair. Love them!!!

It comes with a liner and cushioning already inside of it. I'm a size 8 and ordered a small. I first went to a medical store where I loved the feeling of it, and noticed it was the first time I was able to walk without stress. It was more in the store, I noticed most of the boots I looked up online did have liners and cushioning in it. First go to a medical store to try one out, see if it right for you before ordering one online. Better safe then sorry.
