What if I have a very low arch now?

Emilio, all I can say about these inserts are they make your feet feel sooooooooooooooo much better for wearing them. At the end of the day you can still smile, but I can offer you further help. If you will change shoes mid day and wear a different pair of shoes (with inserts as well) your feet will not tire and hurt as much. Possibly with both aids you will experience much less pain. I am guessing that you are on your feet all day (or night).

These are gel like inserts with little arch support. They are made with pressure point areas on the bottom. For me personally they have helped with my Plantar Fasciitis more than I would have ever thought.

Answer is no. But feet is slight lower than the heart or about even. Unless you can alter in which I haven't figure out yet. I had to check myself before answer the question.

I think it's a placement thing. You can move the insert around in your shoe to where your arch needs the support. I have bought sets for even my sandals, and glued them on.

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.

I think it might be too low for that .It is open in middle , but very low , you might look at mid profile riser.

The arch is the best I've found as far as height, but unfortunately for me/my size, the arch was about 1/4 of an inch too far back and therefore hit my heel instead of my arch. I had to return them for that reason. I wear a 10 wide, so ordered an 11. The most comfy shoe yet except for the positioning of the arch. Maybe your size would be fine. It's worth a try since its such a comfy shoe with a high arch.

Yagga...I think your best bet would be to talk to your Dr. about that, but I would think your new orthotics (inserts) would be worn alone.

Could be your feet are different levels of arches. Mine was that way. Little on the one foot and the other foot no arch. Both feet ached but one more than the other. The bones and ligaments (inside your feet) are being moved into a position that they are not use to. So yea, there is going to be some pain with changing your feet, that will stop. I have better looking legs, now and hardly any back pain. Who knew of having arches in your feet can take back pain away. -Pamla

They would work great for fallen arches! If you were born with flat feet the arch might be too high for you.

My sister needed the elevation because it hurts her to sit to low. I do not know if you need the handles, so check with your doctor.

You could really do either, but these inserts only come about halfway up the footbed, so you'll be more comfortable with the original inserts. These actually made my plantars worse, since the arch support is really squishy, not so supportive.

Personally... this didn't do much for me at all. I would wear your inserts and forget about the arch bandage all together.

reach down into your boot may need shoe stretcher stuff and flex your wrist and knuckles up to insert. Hope that helps.

Not as it is. You would need two 2 by 4's with holes drilled in them to set each side of the arch's legs into for stability.

Whatever gives you the best balance works fine. Be resourceful. You can do all sorts f of exercises using this arch. Any time you want your butt higher than your head. I put the arch under my butt on a bed and raise my legs straight up - a lot easier than without. You can stay in that position indefinitely because you are balanced. If you strain to do sit ups, but the back arch behind you on the floor. It keeps you from putting too much pressure on the lumbar spine. Use it under one side of your waist when you do leg lifts for max effect. Lie over it on your tummy and do leg lifts to strengthen the butt and lower back. Use it to work on your core with your butt on the arch. To find the right stretch for your back you have to shift the arch up and down until you find the sweet spot. RELAX there for several minutes. It may feel uncomfortable or even hurt a little at first. RElax, hands at sides. Then you may feel your back adjust and at the same time the ache subside. If it is too painful use a pillow under your head at first. You will need to do this several times a day if you have back muscle cramps. The stretching pulls out the cramped muscles but they will cramp up again. Keep at it and the cramped muscles gradually subside. I had back pain and stiffness for years despite PT. This (and other style arches of no more than 3 inches) reversed chronic pain. Now I dance and exercise to keep my back pain free.

The is a high arch and there should not be a problem with big pots. I would call Grohe to make sure because everyone has their own opinions.
