Has anyone ever used these with minimalist running shoes? I'm worried they might be a little too big and bulky.

Not with minimalist shoes, but I've found mine irritating to run long distances with normal running shoes. They are great for hiking on uneven ground, softball and pickup basketball.

Hello there, I haven't used a minimalist running shoe. However, I use the Nike Free 5.0 and it is a bit bulky, but not a deal breaker. It takes time to break in so it'll be somewhat of a pain in the early stages. My suggestion would be to break it in, wear it as much as you can before using it in the running shoe you plan on wearing. Wear it in the office, around the house, shopping etc. and it should be good to go. Hope this helps!

I originally was given the pro model and they were too big/bulky for my running shoes. I now have the run model and they fit perfectly. Based on that, I would say that the run model would not fit correctly on boots.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

As the other person said, they probably are too big for you. I do not walk or run with them, just do floor and sitting exercises, and they move around some even if I tighten them as much as possible.

Hi yes they are great. I have really big bunions and cannot wear most closed toed shoes. The bunion pads make your shoes fit a little tight if the shoes do not have any give in them. For me they work best with a canvas dock shoe. I have had them since February 2013 and they have stretched out a little but nothing that makes too much of a difference. I wear size 8 shoes and I purchased Womens size 7.5 to 9.5.

Yes, these are the best things I have found for running, they really stay put and don't damage my running shoes.

Not sure but they are pretty true to size. I'd say that if you need two different running shoes, you'd probably need two different of these. Also, these shoes (for me) are not tight by any means but there is also no wiggle room. Hope this helps a bit.

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.

Use the smaller ones, these are really big. Honestly haven't tried either size for shoes though.

These work best in a running shoe. It's too thick with the loafer style shoes we own.

I run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on them.

Yes but probably not big enough if you have a large foot and they are bulky athletic shoes.

I agree with your previous responders. works great with closed shoes, not sandals.

I have not jogged with these but maybe I can give some insight. While they fit fairly tight on my head, they are a bit more heavy and I would suspect they could fall off while jogging. The cord is very long and could get in the way. They are normally quarter-inch and come with a big bulky adapter to 3/4 inch which I wouldn't find practical for jogging.

You'll be fine running with them. I haven't had a problem with them yet. Really can't recommend these enough.

I tried these on some large bulky (hiking/warehouse style) shoes - women's size 8 and it was a snug fit. I didn't try them on smaller/slimmer style shoe, but I would side with there being problems fitting them over large shoes.

They are adjustable & you don't need to put all of them in. So unless they are Circus freaky long, there shouldn't be any issues other than the lack of space for other shoes.
