My HH dress sandals fit perfectly but the insoles feel rough &amp; the bottom of my feet get raw/sore/burn. Will these help without taking up room?

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.

Yes, take the original insoles out which should leave a relatively flat base for these orthotics to sit on. You can then even use the original insole for use in trimming down the orthotic if needed.

The picture is of the bottom of the insert which is a gel with both slightly raised as well as indented "bumps". The lighter portion in the pic is a soft plastic which gives some arch structure. On the reverse side, which is what comes into contact with the bottom of your foot is some sort of fabric. I don't feel any bumps coming through the bottom of the insole. They are very soft. I don't have nueropathy but I don't see how anyone would feel anything from the underside of the insert.

Absolutely! You won't feel anything. Running or any activity shouldn't be a problem. They will just all the sudden start to peel. It isn't the prettiest process, so be prepared to not wear sandals for a few days.

Hello,I would take a look at the Spenco RX full length insole. That will help with flat feet.Nicole

I never had inserts. I wear the arch bands on my feet in shoes. For me they take the place of inserts. Why not try them? Much cheaper than $300

Norma, I would not suggest these to correct the fitting of the shoe. They are very thin to the point where you cannot tell you have them in. In general I do not feel that the increase in comfort was proportional to the price. Overal I was VERY unsatisfied with this product. I threw them away rather than worry with a return.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps. Wayde

They did not take up much room in my sandals, but mine are casual sandals and the fit was not snug to begin with. These will stick to the shoe and are very comfy. I ordered them because I had the same problem with my sandals as you do. I do not believe they take up much room and now I can comfortably wear my sandals.

I think it all depends on the extra room you may have in your shoes or sandles.I have only worn them once with sandles when I had to go out to put out the trash.The ridge above the toes does take up some room. If your shoes provide the room and you are comfortable, I would wear them every day. I wear the to bed and they makea super big difference, even how my foot feel the next day. Standing or walking in them aloneis very comfortable...no problem at all there....

They can't hurt. I got them because I can't find anything else my size. For your foot problem: If the problem is chronic try specialty shoes. If the problem is serious see a doctor. If the problem is minor keep walking and train your body to go at least 3 miles at a time. Good luck.

If the original insole is thin enough to be comfortable, then try. My experience is that this insoles are superior to any other... Fatigue free!

I would be worried to recommend. The feet are sawn and hve limited space. If the feet don't fit everything else becomes uncomfortable.

Yes. I would recommend placing them under the insole that comes with the shoe.

JCSF that is a great question, as I have that same problem and hate it! I am kind of picky about insoles, but I have found that the Dr Scholl's Active or Athletic series of insoles work the best for me in my workout, hiking, fashion boots, and even some of my fashion shoes and booties. Your feet stay cool, have great support, and comfort for those full days on your feet. FYI socks with all cotton, wool, or a wool blend will also help with keeping your feet cool and dry. They make thin, cute wool socks now a days. Good luck to you.

Emilio, all I can say about these inserts are they make your feet feel sooooooooooooooo much better for wearing them. At the end of the day you can still smile, but I can offer you further help. If you will change shoes mid day and wear a different pair of shoes (with inserts as well) your feet will not tire and hurt as much. Possibly with both aids you will experience much less pain. I am guessing that you are on your feet all day (or night).

I tend to put my Pedags under arch supports and even beneath the manufacturer's insole if the shoe will allow. I have never tried to place them over arch supports, but think the leather might not be supple enough to provide a smooth contour.
