Are these orthotics worn with out without the original shoe inserts?

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.

I wear them with original innersoles -- and have even velcro'd them into sandals.

I wear my Profoot Plantar Fasciitis Orthotics with the original shoe inserts inside my shoes.

You could really do either, but these inserts only come about halfway up the footbed, so you'll be more comfortable with the original inserts. These actually made my plantars worse, since the arch support is really squishy, not so supportive.

These are made to be on top of the shoe inserts, they will not fit properly underneath because of the way they are molded. They have helped me very much and are approved by my podiatrist.

No, but I had no problem reusing the old bolts. These shoes were slightly larger and heavier than the worn out ones. I expect them to outlast the original several year old ones.

I haven't tried the original to compare. I have only used in women's New Balance gym shoes and casual shoes (Drew brand) that have a deep toe bed. Works for me well in these shoes. I have a narrow foot and don't feel squished, but these type of shoes are roomy.

These are true to size and yes you can remove the insert however try it first as the insert is great in these. This is my 3rd pair in the past 4 years. Love these sneakers!!!

The insert for your Left foot isn't necessary...I think; unless you used the brace to walk around all day. If you use if for sports like I do, there's not a significant difference. I play basketball and do boot camp workouts with my right brace on, I don't see difference with not have an insert on the Left foot too. I assume it's b/c I'm running/jumping/climbing and my weight is never resting on one foot more than another for any extended period of time. But, If I was walking and standing all day, like at work, than I think it'd be necessary to get an insert to distribute weight evenly and to keep from having hip issues or, in an extreme case, have one longer leg than the other. :-) If you're uncomfortable or nervous, just buy a cheap Dr. Scholls heel cup and see how it works.

I wear them without shoes but with socks. I also put an insole in for comfort. Also, for your information, the boots are heavy and hot in the summer.

You should leave your sneaker inserts in your sneakers. The CF440 is mostly a heel/arch support, and sneaker inserts are very thin, so there's no reason to put both in.

this shoe fits great and true to size. yes you can put in your own orthotics.

I put these in my tennis shoes and just took out the insert that was in them first so they would fit better. I have not tried them in other types of shoes. Not sure if this helps.

I use removable inserts in my shoes & put the pedag on them. When I change to a different pair of shoes I just take the inserts out of one & put in another shoe.

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.

Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit orthotic inserts cured my plantar fasciitis (the one you stick your foot in the foot mapping machine at Wal-mart to find the one for your foot).

I used them without any socks and didn't have issues. they are a little stiff.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt your feet to use the inserts without wearing socks, but I would recommend against it. The cloth surfacing of the insert is slick when inserting a socked foot, but it is considerably less slick when inserting a bare foot. The slickness prevents the insert from becoming bunched up, and the sock absorbs some of the foot wetness and protects the insert giving it a longer life.

I believe you would benefit from wearing these with your inserts, unless they won't fit in the shoe. I have terrible heel pain, and these DO help me.

Yes, The low, high, and massage inserts. I got them for my boyfriend and he said they came with everything just didn't fit to his feet the best.

The paper that came with the order states WalkFit Platinum. There are 3 sizes of arch inserts.I can't tolerate the lowest. My. Feet have lost their arch over the last 2 years. An orthopedist recommended WalkFits for foot pain, but the pain persists.
