Can these be used both with and without shoes?

I would be careful with high heels with pointy/stilleto style heel but otherwise yes. My family, guests and I walk on it with and without shoes.

We've been using the one for just over a year with and without shoes (we now have 2, a 2nd generation mother's day gift because the other went over so well). I think the without happens more in the summer. The mat feels comfortable either way, but I will say it does feel great in bare feet. If i'm at the sink doing dishes i'm generally barefoot on the mat since I tend to splash the water. There is still no viable wear and tear with these mats.

Yes. I would recommend placing them under the insole that comes with the shoe.

Yes, they can be used without the cushion they are super comfortable with or without the cushion.

I wear them without shoes but with socks. I also put an insole in for comfort. Also, for your information, the boots are heavy and hot in the summer.

Yes. You will get the same stretch with or without shoes. I placed my slant board against a wall.

I've only used it with sneakers but i'm guessing you could do it with bare feet.I find the styrofoam a bit caustic on the bare foot.In PT place they have ones made of wood but they are far more costly.This is a great stretching tool

I would say you can but it would be a little uncomfortable. I use my flip flops and it works just fine.

I wouldnt try it with bare feet. I use it with my socks and training shoes on, I hope that answer your question. I read from one of the reviews somewhere on the net to use shoes. I love my Ironman it works really good.

i don't think it's a good idea. although i haven't tried to move them from shoes to shoes i did try to reposition them two or three times to find the fight spots. the sticky foam at the bottom will eventually torn if you are not very gentle with them. i just bought enough pairs for all my shoes to have their own pads.

I guess you can. I never walk around barefoot so I usually go on wearing my slippers.

Yes you can. I've worn them with my trainers as well as formal shoes. They are a little uncomfortable in formal shoes but offers very good support.

Yes. It is comfortable enough to use without shoes, even though the manufacturer recommends that you wear shoes. I only go 75 to 90% inversion to stay engaged withthe vibrating cushion so not wearing shoes is not an issue.

It depends if you can fit your foot in the shoe with both of them in their! I think one pair of shoes, I had to take them out and the other I didn't.

You certainly can. There is no adhesive to worry about, They fit snuggly under your insole and do not slide.

Yes, no problem. They have a few broad elastic loops that are fairly stretchy, so shouldn't be a problem. I did this a few times with a pair of Adidas Sambas so wrestling shoes ought to be a cinch.

Yes, if the shoes have a closed heel. If you have straps on the heel, then buy the pedag slings. They are narrower and especially made for strappy shoes

I can say that you can wear these with sandals. I wouldn't wear them inside shoes. It is tight and there are plenty of other options to use them. I do say that it is a pleasure wearing the stretchers bear foot.
