They are so thick I cannot get my feet in my shoes. Is there a trick to putting them in your shoes so your feet fit?

I put these in my tennis shoes and just took out the insert that was in them first so they would fit better. I have not tried them in other types of shoes. Not sure if this helps.

These fit in all but one of my shoes--a rather shallow pair of of Pumas. The shoe has to be deep enough to hold the orthotic liner in addition to your foot. Sorry I don't have any other tip for you.

I think it depends on the shoe design itself; there isn't a trick to make it fit. They fit in all my sneakers, boots and work shoes without a problem but all of them have high sides so a little extra padding doesn't alter the fit.

I use them in my Nike walking shoes that I wear for work and have no problem fitting them into the shoes. I don't use them for regular shoes.

My feet are narrow and they seem to feet just right so maybe not wide enough. Hope this helps.

Make sure the straps are not to tight and you should not have a problem getting your feet in and out of them.

Must be defective -- mine fit perfectly and do not come out. I'd try to exchange them.

Yes you can. I know ths because I've laced them too tight before. They still stretch because its the nature of the elasticity in the laces, but you can get them pretty tight.

No, these inserts are not intended for that so I would use heel pads to make the fit more snug.

I would wear alone, however they make my shoe so thick I cannot use them....I even have wide width shoes...might just be me

Hey D,yes they are a lil tight..yet try to put one edge first,then kinda twist/turn while your pushing down

Both ways work. I may suggest to loosen the shoe laces a bit. If you lay them over existing ones. As there will be some space taken up my the insole.

I find they do not stick out far enough and are not wide enough for me to get my foot on comfortably (wearing women's shoes and I have small feet). If I put my foot on the step far enough in for my foot to feel secure, my shin is scraping on the door sill.

Only tried it once, and it did go well. What you really need is a rigid form that will expand the sock, and allow your foot to slip in. THAT is what you need.

My husband is a size 13 shoe and he said he had a hard time getting them on. He'd be cautious about a recommendation. Me, on the other hand, think it's worth a try. Great product. Good Luck

I drilled two holes into each foot rest about half-way down and threaded some long shoe laces through. After you Velcro your shoes in, tie the shoelaces over your shoes. I don't have the slipping issue anymore.

I couldn't get them to expand very much at all. I have open toed shoes too, and tried to stretch the area at the base of my toes. The stretcher wouldn't even expand enough to touch that part of the shoe...didn't work for me at all.

My husband has the same issue so we used a piece of PVC to pre-stretch them. You do want them snug so don't over stretch them. :o)

I would recommend finding another shoe. I had so much trouble sticking in these, I went back to using my old shoes. Tried a wire brush, slide powder, nothing worked.

Not easily. They have adhesive bottoms to keep them in the right spot and from bunching together I suppose. I wouldn't swap them out to other shoes. Eventually, they wouldnt' stick anymore.
