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

Rose with Pedag USA: Lady Gel is probably a "surer thing" in your case. Lady will likely be fine but Lady Gel is even lower profile. Lady Gel surface is velour so it is soft. Lady Gel is hand washable and air dry and therefore movable from shoe to shoe..

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 finally decided to stop using the cheap liners for my shoes and bought the Pedag ultra thins and they work perfectly for me. They are leather and breathe so I don't have to deal with hot, sweaty feet, nor the adhesive coming undone. I also use the black ones for my darker sandals. I haven't tried them on enclosed footwear other than my good winter boots and have had no problems with them becoming too tight a fit.

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 guess that depends on how much room your sandal straps give your foot. I found these insoles to be thin and smooth. Never got my feet raw or sore.

I love my Pedag Ultra Thin Leather insoles. I have a narrow foot so I find that they make my shoe fit better and are more comfortable.

No, they won't help for that purpose. You might look at the gel foot pads put out by Dr Scholl. Most of the major drug store chains carry Dr Scholl products.

I suggest the thinner Pedaq insoles with the Summerweight terry cloth top for absorbency.

I am going to try this cream with silcone heel socks- which works great to reduce the pain from standing on crakced heels. Let us know if you tried it!

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

I tried wearing mine under my dress socks. Problem was the front kept rolling up under my foot making it uncomfortable to wear. I haven't tried them over the sock. I imagine they would still roll up when placing foot in shoes.

I used the coarse on mine. A foot cream or lotion of some type really helps the softening process. Good luck!!

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 was not impressed with these inserts. I have the actual Orthaheel flip flops which are absolutely amazing. You should try their actual shoes or try brands like Sanita and Dansko. I stand on my feet at work and while I'm only 24, I'm doing what I need to take care of my body. I wear Dansko shoes to work and I wear my Orthaheel flip flops out. I have zero pains anywhere now :)

I'm a guy and my shoe size is 9.5 - so I bought the L/XL. Personally, I feel like they're not tight enough. Was considering returning them to the place of purchase to see if I can exchange for the medium. Hopefully they'll take them back, I don't think they have foot stank yet.

I believe you would benefit from wearing these with your inserts, unless they won't fit in the shoe. I have terrible heel pain, and these DO help me.

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.

Take out another insole from a shoe that you like. You can cut just the toe part where they meet or if the rest of the new insole is hangs out cut that too. Usually the top works for me and maybe a little around the edges. Hope that helps.

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.

My feet don't sweat so I might not have the info you want. I haven't had a heat problem with them or absorbing, they just take up so much room most my shoes wouldn't fit me and the insert too. The slip on shoes that are a bit big for me I wear them in and they are very comfortable. Don't think they would work in heels, pretty stiff.

You may have to increase the current quite a bit and make sure your feet and firm on the sandals. These were not my most favorite purchase. I choose to just place the stimulant pads directly to the bottom of my feet. That works great. I hope this helped.

I think it might b ok for just the wedding day, I don't think they'll last long term. I would do the heat set/ hot fix jewels for better adhesion. And avoid the inner parts of ur shoes where ur feet might hit the other shoe when u walk. Happy wedding planning!!

I love a woman who uses 64 dollar words ;). Yes a M should be fine. My wife is a 7 1/2 W normally and I bought her Orthaheels as well. She trimmed the top as it essentially a synthetic suede and did not affect the insole in any negative fashion. I also got her the Orthaheel Slimfit for her dress shoes. The Tan Synth Suede they use for these looks like original inserts in most dress shoes. The Orthaheels are a great product if you don't have perfect 18 year old feet any longer ;)

I used WalkFit Orthotics and night splints Medium PLANTAR FASCITIS Night SPLINT (Colors may vary) It took awhile, but the plantar fasciitis that I'd suffered with for two or three years cleared up. Word to the wise: Don't wear cute shoes with no cushioning or arch support. . . No matter how pretty they are. I'm treating again. I only wore them for one day for my son's wedding. Price of beauty, I guess. ;o)
