I have a little bit of bursitis by my big toe. It seems like most inserts are not as cushioned at the ball of foot area; how do these rate?

I would say they have normal padding in the area you mentioned. I would suggest inserts that address that area of the foot. Hope that helps.

They are better than the regular insert that comes with the shoe. You can definitely feel a difference. It's not much but it's better.

From my experience, its goes are far as your big toe does only but when I was using this I did ride with very lightweight sneakers. If your shoes are thick, have toe protections, etc the dimension changes.

These may be to soft, you can use an old golf ball and roll that under your foot. Every golfer has some used golf balls they can give you.

I have not worn inserts myself, but believe these are thin enough to be worn with whatever you have that goes inside your shoe. They're good for any kind of foot pain that's from the front part of the arch and forward. I used this inside my sock to help me stay on my feet when my foot hurt. When that wasn't tight enough to allow me to put in my daily 2 mile walk, I added white tape around the outside of my sock. The combination allowed me to continue. These are inexpensive, so try them. Follow instructions for wearing and washing to keep them in good shape.

I would say no..only 20&12Separate point. can you identify shoe depths that will accommodate thick inserts for diabetics with foot nerropathy?.

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.

These inserts offer cushion and support, as for bunions I do not believe they would alleviate the pain. My experience has been that any pressure on a bunions ( no matter how much cushion) I will still feel the pain. So as to this product specifically for bunions , this would probably not be the best choice; as for comfort support with high heels only, these work great. Hope this helps.

This cushion was a lifesaver for me. I fell and cracked my tailbone and could not stand the pain when I sat down until I purchased this item. It is a fairly firm foam, so should be able to relieve the pressure when you sit on it.Hope it helps you!

You can cut the item to the size you need. There are markings on the bottom that allow you to size them to whatever size is best. They don't provide much more comfort, up front, than a regular shoe. Most of the cushion is in the back and center of the insert.

The width of the foot should not impact how this product works. There is a circle that fits over the big toe, and then a tongue that hangs down the side of the foot, covering and padding the bunion. What might have an impact is if the big toe is a lot bigger than the part that circles the big toe. The circle is quite stretchy but at some point it could become too constrictive -- sort of like a rubber band. I was able to comfortably stretch my gel guard circle to go around 3 fingers -- which measures out at about 3.5 inches in circumference.

Sorry. I don't know. My big toes want to go toward the other toes on each foot. The Toe Alignment works perfectly for me to keep them in place. I've used them several years and have had no problems with my big toes since I started using them. I hope someone else can answer your question.

The package does not provide this information, but with the insert, it only raises your shoe an additional 3/4 of an inch. Since most orthopedic boots have a thick rubber sole, (mine measures 2 inches thick at the thickest part) in my opinion it would be more beneficial to the patient if there were two insoles provided instead of one or at least make the sole of the product thicker. Hope this helps.

Ah ............ Yes! ..... in my case, definitely! I had this issue in both heels/feet for quite a long time and I tried several things for relief. After a PT told me about the balls, I ordered them and they have made a world of difference. Now, I use them only when I feel a "tinge" of returning discomfort, and they remedy the issue right away. I would try them and I would guess that you will be very happy with the results.

I was not impressed with these inserts. I have the actual Orthaheel flip flops which are absolutely amazing. You should try their actual shoes or try brands like Sanita and Dansko. I stand on my feet at work and while I'm only 24, I'm doing what I need to take care of my body. I wear Dansko shoes to work and I wear my Orthaheel flip flops out. I have zero pains anywhere now :)

I do believe the movements with your legs is still the same. Make sure there not to big, they may dig into the top of your shoe / foot.

I am a size 8.5 and have the 6-10 inserts. The top of the insert fits just below the palm of my foot, about a quarter inch short. You might want to try the mens 8-12 size to insure that it is covering your arch. I suspect that the ones I have might be a little short

I have never tried it as mine are along side my big toe but it would be worth a try if you have alot of pain with it as I did with my situation, I was desperate to try anything. They are so comforting, they have really saved my life. THe only other thing I can recommend is to try the corn small discs with the hole in the middle they may fit better on the small toe but my life has changed for the better with these Gel Bunion Guards, they may be a little big but they really do make you feel so much better, no pain, great barrier for ache of bunions.
