Can you use orthotic for a narrow foot?

I don't think width of the feet has any significance in effectiveness of orthotics; if you need them, use them. For supinated feet, good arch support and heel lifts to align your feet into central position helps a lot. For this particular item, I didn't find it too useful.

I don't know. I do not have narrow feet--medium or B width I think. I measured mine, which is used so possibly a little stretched. At the widest section of the heel portion, it is about 2 1/4 inches and tapers to the narrow portion of the arch, at which point it measures about 2 inches. It then flares outward again toward the toes, and the widest point just before the toes is about 3 inches. I don't think they should be cut.

I think that it is unlikely with this orthotic, unless they have a narrow version. I did not find this helpful, and no longer use it.

I cannot guarantee or verify that. Perhaps if you get in touch with the manufacturer: http://www.pedag.de/en.html they could provide an answer. There is a contact link on their web site. The pair I bought fit perfectly inside my shoe.

My foot is narrow. The sock is pretty tight. Not to tight that it cuts. It really helped too. Hope this helps.

I too have a narrow foot. I wear a 7 narrow and the inserts took up enough room in the size 7 medium sloggers so that they fit good. Made about a half size difference.

Yes, I think you could. I think it is easier to position onto an orthotic outside the shoe. I believe the adhesive would stick to about anything.

you should buy the smallest size offered for sale. The lovely fleece lining packs down, and I have thin narrow foot size 7-8 (depending on the shoe) and right now, after several months of using the brace, I have to double wrap the lowest foot piece and wear a sock before the device is snug enough. Even so, it is a bit clumsy under the sheets. However, I still recommend this device as it does help my foot and when I don't wear it, I always have problems the next day.

sorry for delayed reply, I was out of town. It's either foot. and FYI . . it works "ok". If you have big calves like I do, it's hard to maintain the position. Try it.

They fit into regular sneakers very well. In fact, they make it so a narrow foot can fit into a medium sneaker. I think the heel is too wide if your sneakers are narrow. But I love them because they've opened up more shoe options since my narrow foot now fits with the orthaheel 3/4 length into more shoes, ones in regular medium width.

You can get it for either foot. You just have to choose. This one was not comfortable to me at all. I ended up going with Neo G Medical Grade Super Soft Bunion correction system - Right which has been most comfortable.

The most complete answer I can give you is to direct you to the POWERSTEP website itself where it gives you a comprehensive description of the various types of orthotics. I can honestly tell you this is the most recommended brand by users and Drs. alike. Sorry I could'nt be more specific but you will see they really have something for every type of user.

This splint works best for walking around the house bare foot. If you need something that works using shoes, a custom AFO is the best.

Right, I had flat feet myself until I started wearing orthotics. But that was 20-years ago. I no longer have flat feet. ArchCrafters is just protecting itself against law suites, practicing medicine without a license. Also, I've bought about 9 pairs of orthotics from ArtCrafter over the years and they deliver a high quality product. Highly recommend. Hillbilly

You have to use the kiosk to determine which style #, or in other words the amount and height of arch support you need. And since Dr. Scholl's are a type of "one size fits all" orthotic, you simply have to trim them to fit your shoes. You can also get the prescription type orthotics like the $500 ones that are truly custom fit from places like surethotic.com but only cost close to the same price as Dr. Scholl's. The nice thing is that they fit exactly to your feet both size and shape. No trimming or guessing required.

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.

These clogs are very flexible and comfy for me, but I have a narrow foot. Also, the arch is minimal. My suggestion is to give them a try, and perhaps order up a size?

They are flat. stone cold flat. Equal to the insole of any normal shoe.I will say try them with your orthotics. come on they are not that expensive. the only thing that beats a trial is a failure. but most of all I hope you will find comfort when you try them. If your orthotics have a removable insole I will remove it and then put in the Pedag 196 Happy walking.

I have pretty narrow feet, too, and this product works great for me. I have not used it in a couple of weeks now, and I need to begin again, because my old pain is back. The price is worth trying. Good luck.

You can, but have to walk stiff legged as it does not allow the ankle to bend, they have helped my Plantar Fasciiitis though. I have been wearing them for about 8 years now.
