Anyone use these without taking out original insole? (don't want to rip out new shoe insole in case i don't like these)

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

I always take out the original insole. Most are worthless. I have never had to "tear" them out, a little picking at the edge and they come out easily.

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!

Yup. I have used this and other products without taking original insole. Works wonderfully for me.

Yes the inserts are removable. That was the first thing I did I purchased a pair of insoles from REI and they were cut to the exact size of the OEM and they work great.

Yes. I had to trim with scissors a bit, but that's easy to do if you remove the existing insole of your shoes and use it as a template.

The code on the web corresponds to foot sizes - since the insole is not a full shoe size, it works well. Note: I do not go anywhere without the insoles. They are fantastic....

I placed it on top of the insole in a boot that I wear outdoors but on my regular shoe I took the insole out. Try it with and without, they are easy to put in or take out. I am very pleased with them.

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

Rodney, I have owned several pair of the Irish Setter Soft Paws and even though the robust leather uppers with occasional polishing show little wear, worn soles necessitated replacement. An Achilles' heel (pun intended) of the shoes is the OEM laces, which do seem to wear/fray too quickly. I too have attempted to obtain replacement laces from Red Wing directly and through local shoe stores, but with no success. I now use the readily available KIWI Outdoor Brand brown laces (product code 2114) in my Soft Paws. They look good and are more robust than the OEMs. As I wear size 14EE shoes, I find the 45" laces are appropriate, but the KIWI laces are available in 36" as well. After the OEM laces wear out, the next component(s) which I have found to need replacement is/are the "Scent Ban" insoles. As a "better than original" replacement, I use the New Balance Pressure Relief Insoles (product code IPR3030). They are pricey, but if you are on your feet for hours, they are worth the money. Because I have been wearing Soft Paws for years now, obviously, I do like the product! Roger

It would be like applying grease or a thick polish. Use a hair dryer and warm the shoe and apply by rubbing in . Then wipe off excess.

My rocommendation would be to glue them in place. After the glue has hardened, use an exacto-knife or box cutter to trip them up around the outline of your current soles.

I searched and they aren't on Amazon right now, I have seen them on Amazon a couple of times, these are the same shoes just without the old logo and Sandlot inside sole. I got one of each because I like to preserve my replica editions as long as possible. The replicas are still on pfflyers.com, if you keep checking they might pop back up on Amazon some time, I wish you the best. PF Flyers rule!!!

There is a small adhesive patch on the heel of the insole. If you move them to different shoes, the patch loses its adhesiveness. However, you can use double faced tape, and replace it is needed.

I prefer to place them under the insole so they don't slide around. However, you can wear them either way.

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

They are about the same. Be sure to remove the original insole. The first pair I used, I put them on top of the original insole. This made the shoe too tight. After removing the original insole these worked great. I put them in all my shoes.

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

You can trim the toe box area. I haven't had Vans so I can't speak to that specifically. I actually recommend against these insoles. Wearing them caused me knee pain.
