My mom's feet are getting thinner. She has pain under the balls of her feet. Are these gel insoles thick enough to help with her pain?

Similar concern here. Really feel the balls of my feet when I walk or stand for extended periods of time. These insoles help quite a bit. For the $$$, a good investment. Will it clear it up completely; no. But they will ad comfort for sure.

First of all, if your mom has pain, she probably should see a podiatrist. She may have specific issues with her feet that call for orthotics, or other treatment. For maximum cushioning (which I desire, as I have back problems) I start with a good cushioning shoe like a New Balance. I then use *two* insoles, starting with the Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer on the bottom and *this* sole (Syono Orthotics Gel) on top. The combination gives me maximum cushioning while adapting to my foot, and I can and do walk an average of 5 miles per day (fast exercise walk) with no problems.

Almost surely not. The silicone is a few milimeters thick. A proper silicone insole is thick enough to deform noticeably with each step. This one doesn't.

I know they are easier than the ted hose from the hospital. As long as your mother can put her socks on they should be fine depending on the circumference of her leg.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

This helped me with Plantar Fasciitis and I too have no arch so I put a gel pack under the product in the arch area and it was heaven. I no longer need it. My problem has resolved and only wear them occasionally. It certainly can help in my opinion, I am not a doctor, with any flat foot problem pain.

YES.I bought them for my mother because she was having so much swelling in her feet and legs. The fit nicely and had a bit of stretch. The also provided some traction for her. She said they were comfortable.

YES they will help. I only wear orthaheel shoes and have insert in all my other shoes (even my yard clogs) I am overweight and my ankles turn in and this helps keep them straight which then helps align my knees and hips I would buy them if I were you. (Also, you should go on the orthaheel website to see the video of how they work, very interesting)

Have real good luck with these. I place mine under my insoles with no problems. Keep 3-4 sets on hand

I have not had any problem with the Pedag Lady Gel-Velvety insole. I have them in sandals and dress shoes. No problems and love the product. Feet never hurt with them in.

I have flat feet and they really help. My husband has arches and they help him. I think they would help with narrow feet and high arches. Put them under the removable pads in your tennis or other shoes.

Not very thick. If the person who uses these is ambulatory, may I suggest TENA Ultimate Pad. If the person is bedridden, depends are just as thick and a great deal less expensive. Good luck

Not really. A heel lift would alter where the gel pads sit on each side of the heel and you would have to get a size larger which would undo the reason for getting it at all. Since trying various things for my heel paid I have been to the Doctor who says that Heel Spur pain is a myth as they do not cause the pain so the pain is usually Plancia Fascitis (I know spelling is wrong) which is caused by tight calf muscles. Stretching and solid arch supports are the main recommendations. Arch supports are sore at first but worthwhile working on it. Treat both feet. Also use ice but not heat.

Not Gel... more like a soft rubber. The waffel bottom is what gives the "cushion" and they work fairly well for many patients except when they are too big for the shoe.

It does help to protect your feet from sores, but if you have heel pain besides a doctor's prescription, i would recommend the SKIL CARE FLOAT HEEL PROTECTOR from Prime Discount in Amazon, i got both "booties" both are good, but because my mother developed sores in the big toe and heel, she is diabetic and bedridden, it was better to keep the heel free of pressure and avoid pain. The DMI comforting heel is very good to protect your feet from sores,but if those sores are spreading and causing too much pain in your heel i would suggest the float heel protector.My mother has both protectors (different one in each foot) and there is a lot of improvement.

I'm assuming you are talking about the insoles being made of memory foam. I don't see why they couldn't be as they just lay on top of the insole. My husband uses these and likes them very much.

I would think so. I wear them in my running shoes, dress shoes, ballet flats, etc and have never had a problem. Once you get them in the right spot, it really just positions your foot where it should be if everything were working right and you didn't have fallen arches etc. These are the only things that work to eliminate my pain and allow me to keep running and boxing when my feet are bad. It is worth a try if you want to keep up your activity level while healing .
