Is it ok to wear just one insert? My left foot is fine, my right foot hurts. I tried these and now my right foot feels better but my left foot hurts

Depends upon your arch difference on your feet before you started. You want to keep them even as possible. I know when I started to wear them on both feet my feet and legs hurt for a little while until they got used to the new muscle tone.

Not particularly. I ordered these as a less expensive alternative to the superfeet orthotic inserts I have been wearing. These do not fit as well or relieve pressure/correct alignment issues nearly as effectively. I would not recommend.

No need to specify. I wear mine on my left foot as well. It can be used for either right or left foot and there is only one in the box. Hope this helps!!

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

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.

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt your feet to use the inserts without wearing socks, but I would recommend against it. The cloth surfacing of the insert is slick when inserting a socked foot, but it is considerably less slick when inserting a bare foot. The slickness prevents the insert from becoming bunched up, and the sock absorbs some of the foot wetness and protects the insert giving it a longer life.

With a single purchase you will receive two heel pillows, one for each shoe. Even if one heel hurts I recommend wearing both of them to reduce the chance of the toes rolling inward which could result in further heel strain. Good luck!

The picture is of the bottom of the insert which is a gel with both slightly raised as well as indented "bumps". The lighter portion in the pic is a soft plastic which gives some arch structure. On the reverse side, which is what comes into contact with the bottom of your foot is some sort of fabric. I don't feel any bumps coming through the bottom of the insole. They are very soft. I don't have nueropathy but I don't see how anyone would feel anything from the underside of the insert.

Not completely sure. I have a logo on different sides of mine. I put the logos to the outside of each foot. It is possible they could be worn the other way and still feel fine..

I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer. I work for a hospital and the floors are not nice at all to my feet. I went to doctors, stretching, even the expensive shoes but nothing worked I bought these and in one day I could feel the pain decrease. By the end of the week my pain was gone that I had battled for the last 2 years. Recently I just had to get a new pair of shoes and they were tight fitting with these inserts so I tried for the last week without them and my heel pain is horrible my back and hips hurt so this weekend I wore my boots with my inserts and the pain went away. So long story short if your in pain you have nothing to loose but the pain! I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer.

I put them in both shoes...right and left. Seems to be neutral and functional for both feet....helps relieve pain. These were recommended by my podiatrist and I carry two extra in my purse, just in case my neuroma needs relief.

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 believe that I got one...came left or right foot individually. Was I suppose to get 2? If so it would be great at I have hand washed the one often and sock fuzzies are ingrained in the elastic...thanks!

I never had inserts. I wear the arch bands on my feet in shoes. For me they take the place of inserts. Why not try them? Much cheaper than $300

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.

I'd be careful about using the Pedag Drop Metatarsal pad on top of another orthotic because it changes the pressure points on your foot as you walk. You may want to consult your orthopedist or podiatrist on that one.

I am pleased with the merchandise but there are items just for what you want I believe in the same brand. However, ask a vendor whom can help you. Unfortunately, I have had two surgeries on my foot this past month. And, it is hard for me to get around now at all.
