For those who have tried both, which would you recommend for high heel sandals? The Gel Velvety Insoles or this insole?

I have both pair and use these for flip flops and sandals and the velvety for heels . They're awesome!

I have not had a problem with it sliding off but it must be positioned exactly right or the plastic platen hurts my instep. I found the one that uses laces - also from Dorsi - works better for me. However, I think in sandals this one might work better. If you can, do as I did, and buy both and use them for different purposes.

The Adjust-A-Lift Heel was fine for my problem, and may be for Lyn's, but first I would visit a foot doctor. A professional will be able to give good advice and may recommend different types of shoes.

If you have not been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, then this will help, but spenco polysorb insoles will do a much better job. They are a complete insole, whereas the profoot arch support are only 3/4 of an insole. I still have the profoot arch supports but I only use them in shoes without heel support. Do not invest in expensive insoles. I did and was greatly disappointed. Experiment.

I wear Asics Nimbus 14. They are usually the higher end of the Asics shoes as far as cost. But they have alot of gel in the soles and has made it wonderful for my foot that has the bunion. I cannot wear the bunion support these shoes, but have found that if I wear it faithfully at night, I do not have to wear it during the day with these shoes.

I have been wearing the Dorsi-lite foot splint on both feet inside the house for a month or more. It is really helpful. I also tried wearing them inside my sneakers yesterday and you take off the toe wrap, put the device inside the shoe and put the shoe in. Worked well. If the sandals are the ones that you put something between the toes to wear it, you'd have to use the bottom wrap. I don't think the sandal that holds onto your toes would slip off. I'm buying a set of sandals that have a velcro adjustment at the toe and at the top of the shoe so I can enjoy summer with the Dorsi's. Hope this helps.

Hello, I would take a look at the Spenco RX full length insole. That will help with flat feet. Nicole

Sorry I don't know the answer to that I have more of a pronation.I got these because I am flatfooted and a heel spur. They were not good for me wearing over a couple of hours .I had the luck of being at the mall with my feet killing me and went into a shoe repair shop that sold insoles also.The guy working their told me about the brand spenco ( the Red ones) that they sold.I tried them bought them on the spot I have now bought 3 more pairs.The Red spenco have me working my 12 hour shift with no pain!!! I hope you find what you need.

Neither, I tried them and they are worthless. That's my opinion. I need an orthotic arch support and these were not the answer - I emphasize - for me. But, go bigger than smaller!

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.

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.

The insole is made of foam. While the arch is firmer than a lot of inserts you buy at a store, it still has some give to it. So it is not rigid in my opinion. I have high arches and this has been the best support for my foot with exception to custom orthotics from the doctor which are truly rigid.

The 440s are mainly for people with flat feet or who are overweight causing their feet to flatten out. They have plastic arch supports along the middle and heel parts of the orthotic that offer strong support. HOWEVER as I mentioned in my review the orthotics have a bad habit of scooting up in your shoes. This causes the plastic parts to be misplaced and applies pressure to the wrong parts of your feet. The heel part especially goes under the arch and it feels like you're walking on a large ball bearing. If Dr. Scholl's applied a anti-skid texture on the bottom of their othotics to prevent them from moving in the shoe, it would be a decent foot support.

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.

Good question. Sometimes it depends on the shoes, but in most cases you don't have to remove your current insoles. If you really want a better support, I found that Dr. Scholls were too week and that while they were comfortable, they didn't give me as much support as real custom fit orthotics like surethotic.com did. They are ten times better and last about ten times longer. Surethotics are awesome when it comes to helping my feet get the support they need along with the great comfort from their cushion tops.

Dr. Scholl's massaging sport insoles seemed to offer more cushion so they felt better (at least in the beginning). Airplus Ultra Work insoles were firmer and the fabric on top seemed to be more durable. So I think Airplus Ultra Work insoles probably last a little longer. Good luck!
