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 had flat feet, and developed plantar fasciitis which lasted five years. The ailment was completely resistant to conventional treatment. I started using the Strutz product, which never claimed to treat this. The application of pressure to the arch of my feet always had relieved the pain in my heel. The very moment I applied the support the pain went away... I had gone to the Chiropractor to have my feet fitted for arch support, but the arch had been lifted; hence no need for the insoles. My whole posture has changed. The only drawback: once I started wearing these I cannot leave them off even for a day. I bought many pairs for fear that some day they may not produce these. I love them, and no, I do not have stock in the company.. I gave some to my sister, and she also loves them... Good Luck. Hope this helps.

I'm on my feet 5 to 6 hours a day and massaging gel work insoles work pretty well. I've noticed a difference almost immediately.

These extra slim soft insole cushions for high heels sandals will not be seen at the toes. They are designed shorter at toes and slim in width. You might be able to see an edge at the inside arch, but the edge looks like a piece of leather suede and not intrusive. These soft slim insoles will not show as much as hard orthotics show. The description says "trimmable" to fit your shoe. I did not need to trim mine to fit. Take care to not cut into the gel cushioning. You may-not be able to return them after trimming, check with the manufacturer on that. I hope this helps you decide. Good luck.

Good question. I do for some and not for others. It's better than insoles when the pain is more pronounced but insoles work for me when playing and using tennis shoes etc.

I guess that depends on how much room your sandal straps give your foot. I found these insoles to be thin and smooth. Never got my feet raw or sore.

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!

I used WalkFit Orthotics and night splints Medium PLANTAR FASCITIS Night SPLINT (Colors may vary) It took awhile, but the plantar fasciitis that I'd suffered with for two or three years cleared up. Word to the wise: Don't wear cute shoes with no cushioning or arch support. . . No matter how pretty they are. I'm treating again. I only wore them for one day for my son's wedding. Price of beauty, I guess. ;o)

Definitely for regular shoes. I found that some shoes had a heel well that was even too wide for them and they just slid around a lot. Some tape fixed that but it was an obnoxious fix. In the end, I just ended up buying a full insole piece. They worked much better.

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.

Closed shoes, for sure. And I'd say flats too; I tried with heels and failed miserably. Also if your shoes are snug before the insoles you'll be somewhat uncomfortable afterwards.

They are not ideal at all. I would avoid these insoles at all cost. They have no way to stick to the inside of your shoe. They also disintegrated on the first day I wore them. The massaging gel part broke into uncomfortable pieces and slipped around in my shoe. Honestly, I would not wish these insoles on anyone.

In my opinion, the micro suede fiber would probably be more durable wear-wise. Velvet on the other hand has a tendency to become matted and shiny over time.

I'd go with the larger one. You can always cut a bit off the heel if necessary.

JCSF that is a great question, as I have that same problem and hate it! I am kind of picky about insoles, but I have found that the Dr Scholl's Active or Athletic series of insoles work the best for me in my workout, hiking, fashion boots, and even some of my fashion shoes and booties. Your feet stay cool, have great support, and comfort for those full days on your feet. FYI socks with all cotton, wool, or a wool blend will also help with keeping your feet cool and dry. They make thin, cute wool socks now a days. Good luck to you.

There are several different styles of the pedage high heel insoles. These ones are great and they keep your foot from sliding forward. I just wish they weren't so pricey or could be moved from shoe to shoe instead of bring taped down. I'd love to have a pair in all my heels but $15 x 60 is a lot of dough

This is infinitely softer than prescribed orthotics because corrective orthotics are meant to rigidly fix ones arch. These promote comfort and are meant for short term use until you can see a specialist. I saw one and have chosen to continue wearing non prescribed insoles. These are only for your heel but I recommend a full insole because the pain will only move to the front of your foot when you use a half insole such as these.
