Got my insoles today. Instructions say "Blue side goes up". Both sides are blue! Does the flat side go towards my foot, or towards the shoe sole?

One side should have a plastic film covering the sticky part. That side goes down leaving the flat, smooth side towards your foot. Hope that helps

If your foot is narrow s/m should be okay. If the foot is wider the I would go M/L.

If you can remove the original liner,in one piece, they should work. You are taking a chance on ruining the shoe because sneakers are coming out with really glued on insoles and they are part of the shoe structure. I can't walk in these flat shoes so I get desperate sometimes. You could look for a 3/4 SOFT arch support or even a flat foam heel pad-something with a low profile, to raise and protect your heel and arch. They usually come with adhesive but glue dots work to hold them in place because the darn things slide around and mess with your foot/leg/back muscles. I find those gel heel pads rock too much too but you could try them. You just can't add too much height or stiffness. If you can lift the heel part of a glued in insole and not have uneven tears, and get one of those low profile heel pads under it without removing the entire insole-fantastic. Lady Foot Locker was carrying Spenco inserts and you can try them in your shoes at a store to see if they will even work for you.

You should plant your feet on either side if the weight window. Your toes may hang off the front edge of the scale a bit depending on foot size, but you can clearly read the weight window info. I hope this helps.

I have flat feet also. The I have experienced no problems. I think the arch they are referring to is a metal arch the surrounds the ankle. I play competitive singles tennis, when I play I never notice the braces.

You can keep searching the web site for the side that you want. I found that they were not all in one place. I have just tried mine on the other foot, and it seemed fine. There is no apparent curve in the structure that would indicate right or left, perhaps it is in the inside bladder for the "air cast"portion. If you cannot locate the correct side, perhaps a call to customer service or easier....take the plunge and order one. It can be returned, but don't try it on with the dog around!

Yes, I struggled with this too. Put your thumb under the white tab, and pull it to your right for the right shoe, to your left for the left shoe, in a smooth, continuous, firm motion. Practice in the house first - when your out in the snow/cold/or needing to get that shoe off quickly, you want to feel confident/comfortable you can do it. Good luck!

"Lift" is just what people mean by how much your foot goes up after the heel insert is put in your shoe. You are putting something in your shoe that "lifts" your foot up. Does that make sense? Instead of your heel sitting flatly on the original insole, it now is up a bit because of the insert, which is what I do not like about the insert, as it puts my foot up higher than where shoes are slightly indented to "hug" your ankle. See how the back of your shoe rounds in above your heel/ankle? Putting in the heel insert made it so my head was up there a bit.

I only used it for my right foot - so right boot. I did not think about it being for either foot. I will look at it when I get home tonight.

I prefer to place them under the insole so they don't slide around. However, you can wear them either way.

Hi Charles, I purchased the Orthaheel 3/4 length insoles. I feel they are a little soft for me, so maybe you would like something firmer. I have a pair of Birkinstock 3/4 insoles and they are very firm. I would get them again. Best wishes, Elva Curley

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 cleats should bolt right to the shoe the female portion is already in the shoe mount the front screw leaving it loose then then the back bolts. If you can't do it take them to your LBS & they will help you out.

Definitely, and they should last longer that way, although they'll be a bit trickier to place in the right spot. You want the front edge to stop just BEHIND your MTP joints. You'll feel it more in the arch of the foot, and you'll think it's in the wrong place, but it's not.

Take out another insole from a shoe that you like. You can cut just the toe part where they meet or if the rest of the new insole hangs out cut that too. Usually the top works for me and maybe a little around the edges. Hope that helps. Put it in the slogger and put your hand in to see of the new insole covers the entire bottom. I think Sloggers are the best yard shoe ever.

I laid my boots down on one side on newspaper and did it in strokes back and forth (right to left) from top and worked my way down to bottom of the boot. Gave that side time to dry and flipped and did it on the other side. I then stood the boot up and gave the back one quick spray if I missed a part there, along with the front top of the boot as well. Good luck & hope this helped! :)

I usually do it bare foot since shoes add weight to your movements. Mostly when doing abs, you'll really feel the difference with shoes!I do it in my living room or in my computer room - you only need a few feet in front of you or a few feet to the side.
