would this support and stabilize a flat foot ? Have lace ups, but they cut Into foot and eventually loosen up whike walking due to foot pronation.

I never had the lace ups, but I found that the velcro did not loosen up as I walked. I wear a size 12 shoe and they recommend XXL. I find the XL to be better since I can pull the velcro tighter.

Yes. I wore mine inside a pair of Merrill athletic shoes that zipper up the front. For me this was comfortable and gave my foot the support needed. Put the brace on and see what flat shoes you have that it will fit inside.

Soon after posting my previous, my right foot came out during exercise. Oh well, pride cometh before a fall. I have an old pair of beach sandels with double velcro closures. I attached them to the pedals with the pedal velcro across the top of the sole. Works great.

Yes, and tight laces prevent achilles problems too! (see Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis if you already have it).

No there would be no reason to do that. The laces are elastic and allow you to slip shoe on and off with ease and keep the laces from coming undone while exercising.

Yes and no. If you put the heel snug far enough down into the shoe, it won't show. The problem with that method, however, is that the snug will make your foot feel like it is being pushed up out of the shoe. If you put the snug high enough, it will be comfortable and your foot will stay down in the shoe, but the device might show over the top of the shoe. I would recommend putting the snug as high as you can without it coming up over the top of the shoe, so that you can have the best combination of comfort and it not showing.

No. As ankle supports go this one is good. The thickest part (still not real thick) is above a low cut shoe.

yes; this would work for either foot. my "l" foot is the one with the "real need" for it though and it works like a charm; i love it!

No reason you couldn't, but I usually stretch with shoes on for more stability in my foot.

I have used them in a running shoe and the impact absorption has been great. I am sure slow walking with heavy load should get good support too,not sure life of a pair due to prolonged compression though.

I'm not sure if you could get it angled into a tennis shoe. I've used it on the toe part of flats, but those flats didn't come up very far on my foot. I think the tongue and lacing on a tennis shoe might get in the way of this stretcher since it is angled for heels.

No. I don't see how they would work w flats due to the pronounced arch. Although I guess you could use it to stretch out the forefoot only.

If the slit is on the impact zone of the sole of the shoe it will not secure it for a long time. It depends on the size and shape of the slit, how deep it is, and how hard you step on it. If it is a regular (walking) shoe, probably not a problem, If it is a running shoe...Please refer to the before mentioned statements....

Yes...IF your shoes are already snug. However these supports, with you having a sizable "buzz" going, will make YOU tight.

I think it might. I have done repairs on sneakers. My take: worth a shot since cheap and uggs are not.

Yes. The stiffness of the tongue and lacing past the instep toward the toe does not allow much flexing of the forward portion of the foot, and basically no motion of the ankle; side to side or forward flex.

I think that it is unlikely with this orthotic, unless they have a narrow version. I did not find this helpful, and no longer use it.
