I wear a 6-6.5 shoe. I bought the small and had to cut them. Now my shoes feel too tight with these in. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you can I would recommend removing any insole that is a part of your shoes and replace them with these; depends on the shoes. I bought these to use in my Running shoes and had to remove the existing insoles before putting these in the shoes. That worked for me. Hope this helps!

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.

I'm pretty small too. I had to relax a bit and go carefully, and they're pretty big still. I like them for that, but I would suggest going with a 3/4" pair first if you're nervous about it. They were what I started with, for the same reason.

I have the medium size and they are definitely on the softer side. I had the smaller at one time and they may have been a bit more stiff.I just felt them and you can push them in without feeling like they bristle will hurt.I think they are worth trying at least--Good Luck with your decision.

I have the L/XL and it's somewhat tight on me with a 9W shoe size. But it's probably more related to the Wide part.

i do believe so because i ran into the same problem i wear a 6 1/2 myself i hope this helps but it might cost a little extra but it is well worth it.

I wear 9.5 to 10 and have shoes in both sizes. I bought the 10 and they fit in both size shoes. You DONT want to order a size to small as your toes will hang off the ends and will be quite irritating. If your shoes are size 8... then buy size 8.

I didn't. But it may depend on the shoes material. The ones I've stretched have been leather or synthetic. I'd try stretching w/o spray and see how it works first.

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

I would get the larger and then cut it down to fit. A too small insole could put the padding in the wrong places for your foots comfort.

That's a good question. I would question the seller on sizing. I did buy the medium size as I wear a 7.5 shoe in women's. They fit fine. Maybe a small would fit a 6? But contact the seller for size information. Thanks

It correlates to your shoe size. This one you're asking about is for a women's shoe between 6 & 6.5 (USA Sizes).

I have some on right now over my size 11 mens shoes. You have to open them up correctly as they look too small prior to opening them up. Hard to explain but just be aware when you first look at them, they will look incredibly small. Open them up and they will fit.

I have the same foot problems. I would trade up to the size 5. This brace is so good, I may buy one for my other foot. Feel better!

I cannot say for sure, as I only bought these. I did use a few objects (e.g., a lipstick tube) to stretch out the small toes. That's where they were the most pinchy on me (4th, 5th toes). I am pretty close to a 6.5 on most things. On some I've done 7. On ski boots I had a 6 and I did smaller on climbing shoes that were really meant to be snug. I thought I googled at one point on sizing and got a comparison of the various styles, like kmd and sprint. If you're at all concerned, wouldn't the one size up be less likely to pinch and you could get those sox with the toes?

For me, the 6.5 is perfect and not too wide. Need more "moving" room for running, for me. I wear a 6 in all other shoes, but find the 6.5 is perfect, has been for many years for running.

Get the large size. The small will be too tight, especially with sneakers or street shoes.
