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.

Secured via a single elastic strap in the middle of the shin guard. The straps work fine, I use mine all of the time without any problem. I would suggest using a little bit of medical tape around the ankle to keep them from slipping down.

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

These booties are self-lined. In other words the same semi-soft plastic you see on the outside is what you will find inside. You are supposed to put on a pair of paraffin protector liners before inserting your foot - it would not be wise to go against manufacturer's instructions. It is the same as you would see them do in the salon or the podiatrist office (I've had treatments in both places and they all follow the same procedure).

The edge guide is screwed into threaded holes in the bases of the fixed base and plunge base. there are two holes in the guide for storing the screws when the guide is not in use. There are holes in the plastic shoes for both bases, so you do not need to remove the shoes in order to install the guide. I have used it on both bases, and it works well.

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.

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

I only use this brace when I'm exercising. If I sit on my legs, they do cut off the circulation as well as sitting for a long time in a chair. If I'm going to take a break from exercising, I usually will pull them down so that the bottom of the brace sits on the ankle and when I'm ready to start either hiking or playing tennis I just pull them back into place. I love this brace, one of the best I've ever worn.

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

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.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

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

The "legs" are positioned on the outside of the bottom piece within the groove located there. Once the top is in position, they will be secure. Be Patient!

"Lift" is just what people mean by how much your foot goes up after the heel insert is put in your shoe. You are putting something in your shoe that "lifts" your foot up. Does that make sense? Instead of your heel sitting flatly on the original insole, it now is up a bit because of the insert, which is what I do not like about the insert, as it puts my foot up higher than where shoes are slightly indented to "hug" your ankle. See how the back of your shoe rounds in above your heel/ankle? Putting in the heel insert made it so my head was up there a bit.

Broad generalisation, yes. But I make that decision on a case-by-case basis, based purely on comfort. If the original insoles are thick or have built-in arch contouring, I take them out. If the originals are thin and the shoes are very slightly loose, I set the orthotics on top of the original insoles.

You place it so the bottom of the snug is at the start of your heel. It will be about an 1 1/2 inches from the base of the shoe.

One side should have a plastic film covering the sticky part. That side goes down leaving the flat, smooth side towards your foot. Hope that helps
