How much padding do these have on the instep?

They don't actually have any on the instep itself. It goes all the way around the back of the ankle and stops right in front of the ankle bones on both sides. But it really gives the whole ankle sturdy support. I have 3 pairs, and am getting ready to order 3 more. I wash them in the washer and let them air dry. Best ankle supports I have EVER had and I am a senior, who has been using various types over 50 years.

I don't know exactly how much padding there is but it feels very plush. It is very comfortable and I have not had a problem with pressure points. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I cut them to size. They fit below the insole of the boot, so your foot is never touching these and they are so thin, they have absolutely no impact on the insole. My wife has used them for two years and absolutely loves them.

They are about 1/4" in the back and thinner in the front. I put them inside my boots because I felt the inside of the sole going through and they are a favorite pair so the insoles saved them!

Kind of depends on the type of shoe and the size. Flip-flips? A lot. Sneakers? 4-6 pair without getting to squished. Boots? Meh, probably wouldn't put my boots in there.....

I can answer part of your question accurately. The backs are two inches, from the inside of the sole to the height of the back. In fact they have a slight rise at the back which helps keep the heel snug. As to the weight, the soles are pretty thick so the shoe is a bit heavier than the average but once you have them on there fine and very sturdy. Hope this helps.

I don't know. They certainly feel like 300 tread count 100% cotton to me. I'm very happy with them.

If you have good squat technique and only take one step back, they feel adequate. I haven't measured but I'd guess ~18"...

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.

Not particularly. I ordered these as a less expensive alternative to the superfeet orthotic inserts I have been wearing. These do not fit as well or relieve pressure/correct alignment issues nearly as effectively. I would not recommend.

I doubt it. I took out the original foam insole- inserted these and the fit did not change. In other words after using 5 or more pairs of these the same way the insole has not changed the size of the shoe. Hope this makes sense. Most insoles seem thin and one of the really nice things about these is they are very effective in cushioning my old feet. I am packing too much weight and these really help even tho they are not real thick. Most of the thin ones are worthless after a few days. You might try stacking a couple of cheap foam ones under a good pair of liners like these?? Good luck. Trapper I doubt it.

The backs are lower than regular shoes, but are 2 1/4 in high. They weigh between 1 1/2 -2 lbs for both shoes. I have heard that some people have trouble with them "slopping" on their feet. I usually wear a size 7 1/2 and ordered a size 8 as suggested. They fit perfectly, roomy but not sloppy.

i didn't choose small because i did not want to feel the edge of the orthotic with my toes. i wear them in a pair of sneakers that i was able to push them in without cutting. the fit is very snug, so i don't try using them for other footwear. they are very comfortable

They have a little bit of cushion. But I bought them more for the heel cup support than cushion.

I wear 8 1/2 shoe in the US. These fit snugly, but do still chafe my foot so I am still able to get socks on and that has taken care of the problem. I use them almost every day.
