Do these have a removable insole so that I can use orthotic inserts?

Yes, you can trim the insert to fit. If you are purchasing the Active set it is wide to fit in sneakers. It was too large for my dress shoes, so I purchased a set of dress inserts also.

I prefer to place them under the insole so they don't slide around. However, you can wear them either way.

Broad generalisation, yes. But I make that decision on a case-by-case basis, based purely on comfort. If the original insoles are thick or have built-in arch contouring, I take them out. If the originals are thin and the shoes are very slightly loose, I set the orthotics on top of the original insoles.

yes they do. I wear a 7&1/2 shoe size. You will need to order two. They don't come in pairs. I think they work well.

I don't know, I certainly am not using them. When I got them and found out you have to trim them to size, then put them in for 20 minutes the first day, 30 minutes the next, and so on, I decided to return them. I don't have time for such nonsense, I need an insole I can just throw into my shoes and go. These are a project. I have work to do at the office, can't be playing with my shoes. Sorry.

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.

The Lynco L405 Orthotics by Aetrex are inserts with a built-in metatarsal pad. I use these in my New Balance sneakers (I remove the insoles that come with the shoes and replace them with the Lynco Orthotics). I have used these for years and like them because the metatarsal pad is already correctly positioned. However, they are too bulky for a ladies flat or dress shoe, so I use the Pedag Metatarsal pad for my flats. I've never had a custom orthotic so I wouldn't know about adding to it.

You can put them on top of the existing insert or a replacement. You do need something beneath them since they don't go all the way to the toe so, no, you don't have to trim them.

no it doesn't, sorry I am responding only now, we had an insert for our baby - the plastic piece that you put in front of the chair and slide your babies feet in that is, hope this helps.

Yagga...I think your best bet would be to talk to your Dr. about that, but I would think your new orthotics (inserts) would be worn alone.

They are flat. stone cold flat. Equal to the insole of any normal shoe.I will say try them with your orthotics. come on they are not that expensive. the only thing that beats a trial is a failure. but most of all I hope you will find comfort when you try them. If your orthotics have a removable insole I will remove it and then put in the Pedag 196 Happy walking.

this shoe fits great and true to size. yes you can put in your own orthotics.

You should be able to use these with any insole. Those things that look like insoles are the heaters which are used with your existing insoles.

Yes, there is a wedge that fits under the forefoot, but mine was not glued in - it's separate and optional.

Yes they can be, you don't need to use their insoles. Just use the insole covers that come in the kit
