are the plastic inserts supposed to be positioned on the point of the ankle, or just behind?

Behind. It s the straps that need to be in a supportive position. Locking the heal with the outside strap is the most important for me. Preventing ankle deflection with this support takes away my pain.. The inside strap 'hugs' the arch but I don't wrap very tight- only snug.

The maximum amount of rubber should hit the ground behind you, when your arm is extended back, so the "toe" of the tip extends toward the back. The "heel" points forward. See the photos at: http://www.prevention.com/fitness/fitness-tips/walking-workouts-nordic-walking-poles?page=2

I use them over the original insert in my shoe. I want the extra cushion so I did not remove the original insert.

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.

These go in the heel side of existing shoes; I use them in the left shoe only since my left leg is 6 mm shorter than my right leg. Compensation of differences in leg length can help avoiding back problems.

I ware my right hand ankle rig on my left leg were my weapon can drew from the inside of my left leg. My partner at work has his on the outside if his right ankle. So go with what is comfortable for you.

You get a pair of inserts per order! They are Unidirectional so two fit left or right foot!

Definitely, and they should last longer that way, although they'll be a bit trickier to place in the right spot. You want the front edge to stop just BEHIND your MTP joints. You'll feel it more in the arch of the foot, and you'll think it's in the wrong place, but it's not.

Your question is confusing to me. Assuming you mean is there a "left" and a "right" ankle model, my response: It comes 1 to a pack, and it is not biased to either foot. In other words, each such brace is identical and can be used on either ankle.

I'm not a runner but I would suspect that if your PF starts to act up then the inserts need replacing. I would think that running would put more wear and tear on the inserts than walking so they would break down sooner.

Yes, there is a little gap for your ankle bone which makes it uncomfortable to wear it on the opposite foot.

Yes...it worked for me. The insert is wide enough so that it fits quite snugly into the heel of my shoe on top of the first insert. I make certain that the velcro fasteners of my shoe are pulled together tightly to keep the inserts in place.

Mine are installed on the sides facing the inside of the power rack. While its a little annoying because I have to take them out to do other exercises in the rack if you install them on the outside unless yours is bolted or weighted heavily to the floor your will tip your rack. The inside though feels perfectly fine, right distance apart. I personally don't even bother using the bolt that came with them to hold them in place. The force of doing the dip keeps them from any movement.

It works on the right or the left ankle. Gives great support to prevent injury.

There is a cushion but I suggest you remove it (it just sticks to the hard plastic part of the brace) and put the whole brace under the insert in your shoe. It's much more comfortable and more stable is you were the brace this way.

No, they don't give side to side stabilization like a firm molded heel cup would along with an arch support. Like say what you would find in a Superfeet insert. They just provide extra cushion which puts less pressure on the heel where the plantar fascia connects. I use them with Superfeet inserts.

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