I had 400 dollar inserts made from a mold from my feet. Can these be worn WITH the inserts or are they meant to be worn when not in shoes?

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

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.

I have not worn inserts myself, but believe these are thin enough to be worn with whatever you have that goes inside your shoe. They're good for any kind of foot pain that's from the front part of the arch and forward. I used this inside my sock to help me stay on my feet when my foot hurt. When that wasn't tight enough to allow me to put in my daily 2 mile walk, I added white tape around the outside of my sock. The combination allowed me to continue. These are inexpensive, so try them. Follow instructions for wearing and washing to keep them in good shape.

Personally... this didn't do much for me at all. I would wear your inserts and forget about the arch bandage all together.

Yagga...I think your best bet would be to talk to your Dr. about that, but I would think your new orthotics (inserts) would be worn alone.

I buy multiple, and rotate them daily. I also insert and remove them from the shoes after each wearing so the inserts and the shoes properly air out. Every couple months I'll throw out the oldest and add a few new to the rotation (I write the dates on them). Maybe a bit excessive, but doing so the inserts last many months, and my shoes "forever".

Yes, The low, high, and massage inserts. I got them for my boyfriend and he said they came with everything just didn't fit to his feet the best.

Yes, we recommend removing the original insoles (unless they're very thin) before inserting our product. Thanks!

If the original shoe insert is padded or orthotic, you probably should remove it. For most of my shoes, I do not remove the original.

I don't wear them with dress shoes, so I can't really say. I wear them with tennis shoes and the inserts stay dry.

You probably can wear them in anything. I have been wearing them in sandals. Once your foot is down, it holds them in place. I have not used the adhesive strip because I move them from shoe to shoe. You can see them from the side, but they are not hugely noticeable. I have another longer pair of inserts that I have worn in clogs.

They are better than the regular insert that comes with the shoe. You can definitely feel a difference. It's not much but it's better.

They are meant to be worn at night while you sleep. So unless you wear them over very dirty feet or walk around barefoot in them, there is no need. They eventually wear out from age, and then you just replace them.

Our son (age 8, size 3) has orthotics formed by a doctor but they do not fit in sport shoes very well. I ordered Footminders for him. They fit in his shoes and he loves them. I got two opinions the first podiatrist didn't suggest the inserts, the second did.

My cushy insole is solid and removable - if you have to pay to ship back I would ask if they could just send a pair of inserts in your size.

Here at Atlas Biomechanics we recommend that these can be worn under socks with or with out shoes. Most people wear them all day with their shoes. We sell to hundreds of Podiatrists and they also recommend under socks and worn all day. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,TeriAtlas Biomechanics

The shoe itself will not help. If you buy one half size larger than normal and insert a supportive orthotic device I think it will. The shoe itself is rather lightweight and made of fabric which is somewhat stiffer than you expect in a running shoe. My expensive running shoes are "softer" and more flexible to the touch while providing great cushening and shock absorption. Personally, I feel running shoes are so critical, you should buy the best (ie: expensive) you can afford. But, that being said, these will probably work just fine with an insert.

Not completely sure. I have a logo on different sides of mine. I put the logos to the outside of each foot. It is possible they could be worn the other way and still feel fine..

My husband put the insert into a size 12 boat shoe. Fits well. Size of insert is: 2 1/2" heavy 1 mark wide at heel and 3" wide, lgt 1 mark wide......it is 7 1/2 " long at the end. If your sneaker is a medium you will have not problem. Up to you.

I don't know, I have only had custom orthotics that were really expensive, and then I tried the Powerstep Pinacle inserts and have been very happy with them. This way I could buy multiple pairs and put them in the shoes that I wear frequently without having to keep changing them from shoe to shoe. I find them just as good as the custom ones.

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