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.

Hi Lizzett, I have not tried the footfitter in a flat shoe, but I don't see why it should not work. When I first saw your question, I looked for some flats to stretch, but I don't have any. Unless all your shoes are flats, I would say that the footfitter is an excellent investment. I did a lot of research to find a good stretcher; unfortunately most are not good.

I have normal human legs, so they don't work so well attached to my feet, but I would assume this works well with wooden round legs if that's the situation you are in. I would note that caution should be taken while walking through doors and low hanging entry ways as you might bump your head given the extra height you will now have.

I was able to, but i wear shoes quite loose. I dont think it would work with all shoes/sneaker types. Its very sturdy and rigid, toomuch so for my needs. Very well built.

well you should wear shoes with this product so the real question is how well can said man balance. These feet can support alot of weight they are very durable

depends on where they are big. they mostly fill up. so thay wouldn't necessarily help a shoe that was too wide or long. when i put them in one pair of sneakers i had to loose the laces as the pushed the top of my foot up into the top of the shoe

I disagree with others. I have foot drop and use this item. By attaching the cross straps to the sides of the ankle the front of the foot is lifted upwards. Of course, it's just neoprene so a heavy shoe or boot would counteract the effect.

As long as the shoe has enough to hang from, flats shouldn't be a problem. If they are thong type shoes, they may not stay on since the prongs are rounded.

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.

No. You do need somewhere on your shoe to put it, so it stays put. There are pouches for this purpose that will work with any shoe lace.

Good question! The fit of the pedal to your shoe is key to your question. My foot is a 9D which works fine for light shoes. The clip can easily hold my hiking boots with thick Vibram soles. If your shoes have long toe boxes, the ball of your foot will be slightly behind the pedal spindle which is fine if you ankle through the strokes. If you pedal with locked ankles it may feel as though your toes are carrying the stroke weight which will fatigue your arches on long or hard rides. A size 13 foot should be OK with the VP's If the shoe's toe box is short and snug to the foot.

Did you end up buying this and did it work? I'm a 6 1/2 shoe and I want to hang narrow footed fashion boots on these so am concerned they'd fall through.

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.

I wouldn't tryit. The foot splint doesn't allow a decent stride. It prevents you from bending forward because of its placement.

I would advise that this would not work in bare feet - maybe with socks, I think it is designed more for stability and some cushioning during aerobic exercise when you would be wearing shoes.

Hello!I am not sure. I am flat footed too and it is pretty comfortable for me. Hope this helps!

A bit, ya. I just tie the laces a little looser and it's fine. I also wear wide shoes, so the impact is less noticeable. If your shoe is very narrow at the opening, it could be weird. Shouldn't be a problem though.
