Has anyone had luck getting these in a loafer type shoe? They look pretty thick and I'm worried they'll push her heel up too high.

My daughter is 9 and can wear the orthotics in most of her shoes, but she cannot wear them in loafer type shoes without the shoe feeling like it's falling off when she walks. It does push her foot up just enough that the heel of the shoe does not stay on properly. However, in all her loafer type shoes WITH straps, sneakers and boots they are just fine. These do look thick in the picture, but the portion the heel sits on is not that thick. The thick portion seen is the part that slopes up and around the outside edge of the heel, and is about 1/2", but the portion the heel actually sits on is less than 1/4". These were the best that I found that seem to give good, proper arch support, and that are sized to fit into her shoes. Hope this helps! :)

We have not tried loafers. However they inserts are not as thick as the picture leads you to believe. The heel cup is a good depth and sturdy.

These work best in a running shoe. It's too thick with the loafer style shoes we own.

use med tape on your heel. then put on socks. That's what I do with new shoes until they break in a bit.

Oooh, she's right at that cut off. Her feet will be a size 2 by spring. I would buy the size 2-5 so she can use them for more than just a few months. These are great skates and they last a long time. My daughter has enjoyed hers for over 2 years now. She was a size 3 when we bought them and felt most comfortable when we adjusted them to the setting for size 4, so they run a little small. She wears a size 5 now and they are a bit tight. She'll get a new pair for Christmas.

They may be a bit large for that shoe size. When we ran out all but the large size at the hospital, I folded over the toe or the heel and put a small piece of tape arcoss it. Usually that held them for a day. These are more stretchy than those, and I think will work.

I sent these out to my great-niece as a birthday present. She was just turning 2. I think they look large on her but that's OK. She'll grow into them. So wears them all the time in the house playing dress-up. Apparently she loves them. She's always in them in her pic's that my niece posts on Facebook. They are not huge, but they do not fit like regular shoes on her yet . hope this helps !!

I would not recommend removing her boots. My daughter has not been able to get them back on since we took them off. My husband cut big slits in the back, but they are still very difficult.

I wear a mens ll and am 200 lbs. The size was fine, but the insert is quite thick so your heel tends to rise high in the shoe, thus inducing heel slippage. They did not work for me.

I did order based on shoe size. My daughter at the time wore a size 2 and the size was 2/3. They were a little big to fit in some of the shoes, but I found that they fit in most of her shoes. Hope that helps! They also have a small sticky circle on the bottom. We didn't use this at first as we were moving the insert in multiple shoes. They stay in pretty well in most shoes!

these are for me, her husband, I usually don't wear high heels so i'm unable to answer the question. I can say they work very well in my shoes

I think the pumps might be better. Not sure they'll fit width-wise though. For high heels or pumps, you might be better off buying a pair of orthotics at a drug store or a place like WalMart. If they don't work, you can always return them.

Hello, I wear size 7 1/2 shoe. The arch in the ProFoot hits exactly where I need it to hit. However, I have a friend who wears a 6/12 shoe with the ProFoot and she says it's exactly what she needs. Apparently, these are related to the Magic Beans. It's cost is nominal so worth a try. I have velcro strips to more them from shoe to shoe. Hope this helps.

They would be too small for her feet then. My daughter is a 12-13 and they are way too small for her. Only her 2 yr old sister can wear and enjoy them.

I bought them because my feet are much wider in front than in the heel. So, if I buy a shoe that fits the front of my foot, it is too big (wide) in the heel. I step out of pumps. These helped solve the problem for me. No my pumps fit perfectly! I don't think it would help much if the whole shoe was too wide, but if wide in the heel....they helped me! Hope that answer helps!

When I got them for my son I put them in a new pair of Asics sneakers. I did not take out the insole as the shoes were new. My son had no complaints and they are still in the sneakers since August of last year. The package the Dr. Scholl's come in say to take out the insole but I didnt. It wont hurt for you to try it first without taking out the insole and see if they are comfortable enough for you. Then you can decide to leave the insole in or take it out. I agree taking it out sometimes is too much work and messes up the shoe. LOL!! Valerie

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.

I feel your pain. My daughter wears a girl's size 5, which are getting harder and harder to find. She fits into a women's 6 in shoes, so I will probably buy her a women's 7 to allow for growth and socks. She's in that never-never land between girl's and women's sizes. I may go to the manufacturer's website and see if they have a conversion chart (like Zappo's does for shoes), and go from there. Good luck.

I have stretched 3 pair with 4.5" heel. I have made them slightly longer and increased the width, with no issues. My only complaint about these is the plastic tip on the spreader will break so you have to watch how you un-tighten
