Yes, these are more of an arch support. Everyone's arch is higher or lower than someone else. Since one size wont fit all, they try to make a few different sizes of arch support so you can try to get one that is somewhat close. If you need an arch support these can help provide some relief. If you need an arch support and would like a professional fit like a doctor would prescribe go to Surethotic.com. They will make a support that is an exact fit and will last 10 times longer.

They are radically different. You need to find a store that has a dr. Scholl's kiosk that measurese the pressure on your foot (it's free) and you will get an analysis of which orthotic fits you best. There are about 20 different choices, so don't guess. This product saved my feet!

I am not sure who Dr Sholl is, but the official brand is "Dr. Scholl's" and these are them. Great comfort and last a long time! :)

I don't know the heel inserts but these 440's are really nice, good cushioning.

I think they are very different from heel inserts. They provide a lot of arch support. I have put a pair of these in three different pairs of shoes and find that I really miss them if they're not there. We have done a couple of huge walking trips this year and I got along much better than usual when using these supports. I think the customizing idea of finding the right fit is crucial.

I didn't notice much of a difference between them. I used to wear custom fit orthotics and was looking for something similar to that. These didn't meet that.

Yes, they are completely different because they are tailored to your particular feet and posture. You should go in to one of the many stores that have a pressure sensor (Bed, Bath and Beyod for instance) and check what works best for you. I've had these for over a year now and they really make a huge difference. I use them in my work shoes.

The inserts are as marked without significant variation to being larger or smaller. The insert most appropriate to your foot size would be C.

I didn't realize there was a difference. I just ordered the same ones that came with the new aid's. I may try the closed next time if what the Pamela South answer says is true. Good luck! Rodney G.

They did for me. Boots, slippers, watershoes. Not as good as the Dr Scholl's Custom Fit. But less expense and serve a purpose.

The profoot comes in one size and you trim it to the size you need. Shoe sizes are marked and you just cut along the appropriate line. I haven't noticed that the heel is larger than average. What the Profoot has is a slightly higher and better supported arch than the insoles that come in most shoes.

I ordered dated inserts...I don't remember if the originals were dated or not.

No, they are the same thickness throughout. But you place them on the metatarsal where it hurts.

The Lynco L405 Orthotics by Aetrex are inserts with a built-in metatarsal pad. I use these in my New Balance sneakers (I remove the insoles that come with the shoes and replace them with the Lynco Orthotics). I have used these for years and like them because the metatarsal pad is already correctly positioned. However, they are too bulky for a ladies flat or dress shoe, so I use the Pedag Metatarsal pad for my flats. I've never had a custom orthotic so I wouldn't know about adding to it.

I have not see the original but these are what I would call a thin profile. There is a nice strong arch support built in and firm heel support. I bought more of these because of the huge difference I noticed with them. I used to have leg hip n back pain. Not anymore. I keep one set of these in my dress shoes where I did not take the original soles out and it fits fine.

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.

Yes there is a difference in the shoes. If you have gunite you need the ones for concrete.

I have found that it varies with the shoe. You would have to try it both ways. The Pedag inserts have brought me relief.

sorry for the late reply. i would get the medium and if it does not fit you can always cut it. i wear size 9 in ladies shoe too. honestly the insert did not help me with my pain, i ended up buying Dr. Scholl's® P.R.O. Pain Relief Orthotics for Heel. if you go to Dr. Scholl's website you can get a $2 coupon off the insole. good luck!

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.

Not particularly. I ordered these as a less expensive alternative to the superfeet orthotic inserts I have been wearing. These do not fit as well or relieve pressure/correct alignment issues nearly as effectively. I would not recommend.

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