Anyone know if these stay in place in your shoe? I have had trouble with other heel wedges moving toward the middle of my foot. Is there an adhesive or anything to keep them in place?

They stay in place, but I have only used them underneath the inner sole insert of the shoe. That is because I use them in my tennis shoes. I lift up the inserts, and place them under, and replace the inserts and they stay in place. For my ballet flats, I use a narrower insert that has leather on top (I cannot remember the name), and I find that that one works well for just placing in the shoe, without lifting anything. I have not tried anything with heels yet.

No, they do slide around for me. As long as I am just walking and not dancing or goofing around, they seem to stay in place ok.

Have real good luck with these. I place mine under my insoles with no problems. Keep 3-4 sets on hand

The wedge stays in place. There is no adhesive backing, but none is required.

I don't have a problem with my shoes sliding. I store a pair of pumps or 2 pairs of flats. I don't store flipflops in it so i haven't had a problem.

No, they don't give side to side stabilization like a firm molded heel cup would along with an arch support. Like say what you would find in a Superfeet insert. They just provide extra cushion which puts less pressure on the heel where the plantar fascia connects. I use them with Superfeet inserts.

I have stretched 3 pair with 4.5" heel. I have made them slightly longer and increased the width, with no issues. My only complaint about these is the plastic tip on the spreader will break so you have to watch how you un-tighten

I cannot quite picture your situation. The last time I used it (recently) was on a pair of shoes where the sole, about all of the front four inches detached itself from the shoe. I applied all along the edge under the edge of the shoe, pressed it down into position and smoothed out the excess. Let dry several days. Have since used them 8-10 hours a day for many many days with no problem. Hope this helps you. J

They work fine in many shoes, but whether they are visible when the shoe is on depends on the shoe style and cut. I was able to wear one in a heeled sandal this past fall. The guard material that showed through the sandal was not particularly noticeable because you can see the skin color through the guard. I was able to cut the tongue portion appropriately. Made a big difference as I had to wear the shoes for a wedding and celebration, including dancing. It stayed in place and worked out great!!

I use the inserts because I am very flat-footed and need metatarsal support. I always had the same problem as you...slipping forward in open-toed shoes...but I have not bought a pair of such shoes in years and was not using the Pedag's at that time. I couldn't even guess if they would stop the slipping. I wish I had a better answer for you.

I'm afraid I cannot totally answer your question. They do not have an adhesive on the bottom. They don't feel to me as though they would slide in any shoe, but I have only used them with a pair of Keds, and they do not slide at all. Sorry, but I just don't know.

Ah ............ Yes! ..... in my case, definitely! I had this issue in both heels/feet for quite a long time and I tried several things for relief. After a PT told me about the balls, I ordered them and they have made a world of difference. Now, I use them only when I feel a "tinge" of returning discomfort, and they remedy the issue right away. I would try them and I would guess that you will be very happy with the results.

use med tape on your heel. then put on socks. That's what I do with new shoes until they break in a bit.

Both ways work. I may suggest to loosen the shoe laces a bit. If you lay them over existing ones. As there will be some space taken up my the insole.

These require effort to put on. Sitting down, both hands. They are definitely not 'slip ons'. That said, they don't slip off, either - that is, they stay put, around my heel and ankle, perfectly. The little nub on the back makes taking the off a breeze.

My heels do not slip out of the cup.I got them for some foot pain I was having due to an arch problem. The doctor gave me one and it worked so fast and so well, I ordered 2 more to keep on hand. They are very expensive in the drug stores, but they were very reasonable getting them from Amazon. They actually did away with my foot pain in just a couple of days.

I have not had a problem with it sliding off but it must be positioned exactly right or the plastic platen hurts my instep. I found the one that uses laces - also from Dorsi - works better for me. However, I think in sandals this one might work better. If you can, do as I did, and buy both and use them for different purposes.

I have plantar facisitis and have had it for years. These heel cups, in my opinion, put pressure on the sides of my heel, forcing the bottom of my heel to be higher off the ground as I walk. I even got the childrens size cause they are more narrow, hence more pressure. They were especially helpful with closed pumps. Hope this helps.

I have the same exact situation as you, and at first they used to slip a bit, but soon the top layer becomes more grippy and now I don't have any issues. I think washing it helped in my case. There might be some smoothing agent or shine agent applied to them that washes off and then they are a bit more usable with dress shoes.

I use them in regular shoes. It does make the shoe fit a little tighter - maybe a half size difference. Hope that helps.
