are the plastic inserts supposed to be positioned on the point of the ankle, or just behind?

Behind. It s the straps that need to be in a supportive position. Locking the heal with the outside strap is the most important for me. Preventing ankle deflection with this support takes away my pain.. The inside strap 'hugs' the arch but I don't wrap very tight- only snug.

No it does not. The sleeve itself has no "give" to it and does not stretch, so it supports the ankle and holds it pretty tight. You don't get much movement of the ankle when the brace is all tightened up. No need for hard plastic.

No, they're the same, but that's what I like about them. What I do is place one directly on my foot where a metatarsal pad would be placed. That way, after a little trial-and-error, you can position them under each foot in a way that suits you. You can only wear these twice before the adhesive wears off but hey, there're cheap.

It works on the right or the left ankle. Gives great support to prevent injury.

Yes, we recommend removing the original insoles (unless they're very thin) before inserting our product. Thanks!

If you make sure the velcro net tabs are tight around the post you shouldn't have a problem. As for Jesse's question; There is a black perimeter around the bottom of the net. After setup place the black portion under the cleat on the bottom of the posts and the net will stay secured to the ground. Great Questions!

There are two points where the rod can be inserted (both are centered). One is directly in between the legs and the other (when facing you) off to the right, can be used to display pants.

If the original shoe insert is padded or orthotic, you probably should remove it. For most of my shoes, I do not remove the original.

Either or. They aren't that thick, so you can put them on top of the existing insole. However if you want to get rid of the existing pre-installed cushion you can do that too. I actually tried it both ways to find the best fit for me.

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

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

There is a cushion but I suggest you remove it (it just sticks to the hard plastic part of the brace) and put the whole brace under the insert in your shoe. It's much more comfortable and more stable is you were the brace this way.

Right below the ball of the foot. Large end points to the inside of your foot.

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

The inserts do go a little beyond the edges of the clamp. Maybe 1.5 mm to each side.

It does have an extra padding around the ankle area. It is not really big so care would have to be taken to position properly.

I only use this brace when I'm exercising. If I sit on my legs, they do cut off the circulation as well as sitting for a long time in a chair. If I'm going to take a break from exercising, I usually will pull them down so that the bottom of the brace sits on the ankle and when I'm ready to start either hiking or playing tennis I just pull them back into place. I love this brace, one of the best I've ever worn.
