Has anyone tried this with running shoes - such as barefoot running shoes ?

They are bulky, so will make the shoes fit tighter and your foot sit higher (may cause foot to come out at heel). Also, the surface is a slippery synthetic that won't feel great with bare feet. Their real advantage is the rubber is a little denser than most overthecounter arch supports.

I run with these every day. Last long. I have not tried them in barefoot running shoes but imagine these would help since barefoot running shoes have no arch support.

I cannot quite picture your situation. The last time I used it (recently) was on a pair of shoes where the sole, about all of the front four inches detached itself from the shoe. I applied all along the edge under the edge of the shoe, pressed it down into position and smoothed out the excess. Let dry several days. Have since used them 8-10 hours a day for many many days with no problem. Hope this helps you. J

No. I would not recommend it. In some instances I have only one shoe per compartment as my shoes are heels.

I would think so. I wear them in my running shoes, dress shoes, ballet flats, etc and have never had a problem. Once you get them in the right spot, it really just positions your foot where it should be if everything were working right and you didn't have fallen arches etc. These are the only things that work to eliminate my pain and allow me to keep running and boxing when my feet are bad. It is worth a try if you want to keep up your activity level while healing .

I would say yes but I have never tried running shoes. I put on over snow boots, an Uggs style boot. Running shoes should be easy in comparison.

The enclosed instructions specify that shoes should be worn while on the board. The bumps on its surface help to keep shoes from slipping. I have never slipped off. I would never try the board barefoot.

Yes, I am sure that would work, Just let it dry completely. I sometimes just spray on the outside of the shoe, too.

These work best in a running shoe. It's too thick with the loafer style shoes we own.

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.

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.

It depends on your shoes. I have found that they are too tight on my weightlifting shoes(very flat shoes, I am referring to the New Balance mx20v3.) So I dont use them. But they are fine on my asics crosstrainers.(larger shoes gel 180 TR) I also like to keep my feet tight on my shoes so depends on your fit. Hope it helps

If you wear arch supports in your running shoes, it would be worth trying in training. I have mixed some jogging in with my walking. Not a marathon but but they helped during and after.

I've only used it with sneakers but i'm guessing you could do it with bare feet.I find the styrofoam a bit caustic on the bare foot.In PT place they have ones made of wood but they are far more costly.This is a great stretching tool

I use them for jogging, but I am not doing anything longer than 6-7 miles. I use them on fairly structured trail running shoes (goretex) so that the upper rubber band that holds the metal chain part does not collapse the shoe or put pressure on my foot. I can, over some miles start to feel the pressure against the sole, but that would be true of any traction device. I broke my ankle running on ice two years ago, and I am not taking any chances.

Absolutely. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever used with my shoes on. There are cuff-like brackets for your feet, and so you can adjust to be sure they're snug enough that you don't slip out! (and not uncomfortable either).

I would think so. That's what this is designed for. Just make sure that you have plenty of ventilation when you do it because the fumes are strong. Coat the sole with an even coat of Shoe Goo but don't make it too thick or it will ooze out of the sides. If you have a shoe last (the things they put inside shoes at some stores to help them keep their form), I would put it in the shoe first. Then you might want to find a way to weight the shoe down so that the pressure on the sole is even and it glues evenly.

Sorry. I don't have an answer for that. I have not tried it on any synthetic shoes because I only wear leather shoes. I do know that it works great on my leather shoes.
