It's hot here, & I'll be barefoot or in flip-flips & sandals. So, will these pads still stay on my feet if not enclosed in something like a tennis shoe?

From GaryRose - I wear the pad on my right foot with sandals with no problem. I have also worn the pad barefoot but only for a short period of time indoors and had no problem. I just moisten it everyday and stick it on my bare foot before I put on my sandals. Hope this helps Island Mermaid.

I doubt they will stay on in flip flips. A sock definitely helps the pad stay in place, but some sandals might work.

I live in San Diego and am in sandals most of the time. They stick very well to the bottom of your foot and I have had no problems with them. You just have to wash them off at night. The first pair I had lasted for several months with daily use. I hope this helps.

My feet sweat a lot so I have to wear these with socks. If you have the same problem, I don't know that the pad will stay on with flip flops.

I wear these when I do yoga barefooted. I prefer orthotic soles in shoes, but I don't see why these wouldn't work. They do stay in place and I think it's worth a try.

yes. keep them bare on the bottom for best results. drape a small blanket or towel loosely over the top part of your feet. It's ok to wiggle your toes - ha!

These socks are tough to rate for activities like that. It will certainly keep your feet dry in terms of outside snow, but your feet will end up very wet due to sweat, as they do not breath at all. Think of it like wearing a wetsuit on your foot.

yes, they can get pretty toasty in there. i only wear them to walk to work in the morning as there is dew all over the grass & gets my feet & pants wet & they seem to be fine. but i have worn them out to check on my garden & they definitely keep your feet warm.

Yes. The neoprene heel, sole, and toe provide the traction of a standard-issue beach flipflop or better. Because the footwear is sock-like, it will shape to the contour of the wearer's feet and give better traction than just a hard-soled, plank-like flipflop. I wore these to play beach ultimate frisbee and they worked out very, very well. They kept my feet protected from hot sand, and lacerations from shells and other debris.

Yes. I wear mine inside and outside. I am usually in my office and always have cold feet. That is until i wear my Heat Holder socks. If I wear anything else, I really feel the difference. You will be happy with these socks

I own three pairs of Injinji socks and although I use them mostly while running, they are great with flop flops, Five Finger shoes (though not if your toes are already a snug fit without socks) and any other athletic shoes. When wearing these socks in regular shoes it feels like your toes have more room to move, giving you better control and balance. They are also really nice in hot weather because your toes will stay drier and you'll be less likely to get blisters in between your toes.

That I dont know, since I used them while barefoot. Probably will, if the shoes are low profile like soccer shoes not bulky basketball like shoes.

Your feet definitely get wet, they have grip on the bottom to prevent slip & falls only. Not waterproof

No. More like a foam pad. Have to have them just right to work. Custom orthotics is a better answer.

That was the reason i purchased these, but it doesn't really work. I'd suggest getting the rubber ones that actually have grip. I placed these in 2 pairs of shoes that slip and after one day of wearing, these pads wore flat and don't do anything other than making the back of my shoes smooth. Maybe these'll work if you wear socks with the shoes you're trying to fix. I'm pretty disappointed in them, after reading all these great reviews.

I wear one of these pads on my left foot daily. I am a teacher and on my feet at least 8 hours a day and have no problem wearing them with my shoes. I don't imagine they would be comfortable with high heels, but then again, I don't wear heels at work. I bought one pad to try first and then ordered several to have on hard. They are washable, but I do wash them by hand rather than in a washing machine. I love these pads as they have eliminated the shooting pain on top of my foot. Hope they work for you, too.

That's the only way it works for me. If I wear socks, they start to slip off. I like the bare-foot workout but I suppose it would work with shoes.

They'll definitely stay on. I do martial arts with these on, and they resist sweat too btw.

I walk a lot, and they were still comfortable as far as heat was concerned. But I don't really know if these are considered breathable.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).
