I insert custom orthodics into all of my shoes due to plantar facciitis issues. I need to know if the inserts are removable from these boots?

Yes, the insoles are removable. However, I strongly recommend not buying this boot.
1104061
Yes, the factory inserts will come out. Vasque Sundowners also run large so there will be plenty of room for your custom orthodics.

Hey. No. The insoles do not come out. If i were you I research the Asolo brand of boots. Truly amazing. Vasque sold out for cheap Chinese labor. Quality gone.

Yes the inserts are removable. That was the first thing I did I purchased a pair of insoles from REI and they were cut to the exact size of the OEM and they work great.

I don't know, I have only had custom orthotics that were really expensive, and then I tried the Powerstep Pinacle inserts and have been very happy with them. This way I could buy multiple pairs and put them in the shoes that I wear frequently without having to keep changing them from shoe to shoe. I find them just as good as the custom ones.

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.

No. You cant tell by the picture, but the "cleat type system" is integral to the pedals design. Meaning, just clip them in and then twist to remove them. Just like the cleat on your shoe. I have several sets and have used these for some time. They're a great piece of kit.

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

Yes, I have plantar fasciitis, and have used these (in this type, and also the smaller one for shoes and PF) in all my shoes for over a year. I have flat feet. I also find that shoes with negative heels, like Earth brand shoes are helpful, as they help stretch the arch. I used to wear harder bottomed shoes, like birkenstocks, but these have eliminated about 90% of my pain. I walk on a treadmill 6x per week, for about an hour. I highly recommend these inserts.

Yes, they are removable. In fact they are not installed to begin with. We never installed the footpads. The bottom of the unit is flush and it sets right on the ground. We like it that way so no dust or debris to clean out under the TV cabinet.

I don't really understand your question. Insert the orthotic even with the back of the heel of the shoe. This positions the pad correctly under the foot. I have worn this product for several years without difficulty or pain.

No, they don't give side to side stabilization like a firm molded heel cup would along with an arch support. Like say what you would find in a Superfeet insert. They just provide extra cushion which puts less pressure on the heel where the plantar fascia connects. I use them with Superfeet inserts.

Yes. They can be removed and switched to different pairs of shoes. I have done so on occasion. But because there is a small adhesive disk at the end of each insert that helps to ensure they stay in place it is better to keep them in a dedicated pair. Switching back and forth can wear out the adhesive. They stay in place pretty well anyway but work best with the original adhesive.I'm on my feet a lot and I'm heavy. The Pedag inserts ease leg pain and fatigue. I highly recommend them. I use them in all my enclosed shoes even sneakers and walking shoes. They provide much better support than the softer foam type inserts. Yes. They can be removed and switched to different pairs of shoes. I have done so on occasion.

No, there is two inserts one for each shoe and then there are 4 different inserts for each shoe insert. One is for massage, one is for low, one medium and one high. It just depends on what kind of support you are needing.

I haven't tried them in dress shoes, but would assume they would fit in any shoe with a removable insole. I'm not sure if they would fit over a non-removable insole. I find that not many of my dress shoes have removable insoles. I used them in my athletic shoes after removing the insoles they came with, and they worked great for that.

No. And that's a problem. I bought these a year ago and have yet to use because I thought I could easily install them into any boot. Not so easy. My goal this year is to take them to a sporting store and get an insole that I can then use withy any ski boot. I bought these for ski boots...and I rent. So yes, you can cut an insole to work...but I really think if you use these for a ski boot, you need to have the whole boot insert to really work well....that is what the rental place had told me on our last ski trip.

There is a sticky pad in the heel area on the bottom to secure the insole to the shoe. I just make sure I don't expose the adhesive so the insole is removable.

Our son (age 8, size 3) has orthotics formed by a doctor but they do not fit in sport shoes very well. I ordered Footminders for him. They fit in his shoes and he loves them. I got two opinions the first podiatrist didn't suggest the inserts, the second did.

If you can remove the original liner,in one piece, they should work. You are taking a chance on ruining the shoe because sneakers are coming out with really glued on insoles and they are part of the shoe structure. I can't walk in these flat shoes so I get desperate sometimes. You could look for a 3/4 SOFT arch support or even a flat foam heel pad-something with a low profile, to raise and protect your heel and arch. They usually come with adhesive but glue dots work to hold them in place because the darn things slide around and mess with your foot/leg/back muscles. I find those gel heel pads rock too much too but you could try them. You just can't add too much height or stiffness. If you can lift the heel part of a glued in insole and not have uneven tears, and get one of those low profile heel pads under it without removing the entire insole-fantastic. Lady Foot Locker was carrying Spenco inserts and you can try them in your shoes at a store to see if they will even work for you.

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.
