Are these put into shoe with the existing insoles in place or the existing insoles removed? i.e. Remove existing insoles and replace with these?

Either way works. I had a lot of extra room in my boots so I left the existing insoles and used this to help fill the gaps.

They don't recommend that you put these types of things on top over other inserts. I do put mine on top of just the normal insert that comes in my shoes. You will probably just have to see how your shoes fit---may need to take the insert that comes with the shoe out. No, you do not need to trim them. They are partial length so that trimming is not necessary. I mainly use these in my tennis shoes. I am not sure how they would work in other shoes.

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.

Correct. No need for insoles when wearing this. However I use this mostly with slippers in the summer and in cases when insoles just wont work well.

If the dr. Scholl insert makes the shoes too tight, then I will remove the shoes' inserts. Otherwise I just leave it in.

If you can remove the original liner,in one piece, they should work. You are taking a chance on ruining the shoe because sneakers are coming out with really glued on insoles and they are part of the shoe structure. I can't walk in these flat shoes so I get desperate sometimes. You could look for a 3/4 SOFT arch support or even a flat foam heel pad-something with a low profile, to raise and protect your heel and arch. They usually come with adhesive but glue dots work to hold them in place because the darn things slide around and mess with your foot/leg/back muscles. I find those gel heel pads rock too much too but you could try them. You just can't add too much height or stiffness. If you can lift the heel part of a glued in insole and not have uneven tears, and get one of those low profile heel pads under it without removing the entire insole-fantastic. Lady Foot Locker was carrying Spenco inserts and you can try them in your shoes at a store to see if they will even work for you.

I put them in - in place of the shoes pre-installed insoles. Not room for both of them in my shoes. They are very comfortable. I am 6'1' - 215 lbs. stand all day and they make it possible.

Depends upon the space in your shoes. Try it with the inserts (make sure you loosen the strings before putting your foot in them) and if they are to tight then take out the inserts.

they come in a pair. You will most likely need to remove the insoles that already in your shoes as these make the inside higher

No. And that's a problem. I bought these a year ago and have yet to use because I thought I could easily install them into any boot. Not so easy. My goal this year is to take them to a sporting store and get an insole that I can then use withy any ski boot. I bought these for ski boots...and I rent. So yes, you can cut an insole to work...but I really think if you use these for a ski boot, you need to have the whole boot insert to really work well....that is what the rental place had told me on our last ski trip.

I would pull out the insoles and wipe them down with a cleaner. Then I'd hose off the entire shoe inside & out - minus the insoles. I've done this with mine & they were fine afterward.

I don't really understand your question. Insert the orthotic even with the back of the heel of the shoe. This positions the pad correctly under the foot. I have worn this product for several years without difficulty or pain.

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!

My husband used them to replace the existing insoles in his shoes. That gave him the comfort he wanted under his feet without making the shoes too tight at the laces from doubling the thickness underneath.

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.

The ad is actually showing 3 different inserts, I own two of them, in the first picture, its the hard soles, see the 4 plastic caps on the bottom? These were terrible for me, way to hard, second is thier complete gel insert which I don't have, the third picture is of thier gel half sole insert, which is the dr scholls 440 comparable, these were a dream, been a year and a half, and I love em. They do need replacing tho. They have gone flat. Just make sure what ones you're getting.

Bryce...i don't know if there is an exact answer to this question...i would try with and without the original sole and find which is best for you...
