Dr. Frederick’s Original Arch Support Gel Inserts - 6 ct - 1.1 cm High Arch Support for Plantar Fasciitis, Flat Feet & PES Cavus - Peel & Stick Reusable Insoles for Men & Women - Fits All Shoe Types

I am submitting my review to let people know of a few things about this product. One: Do not set the gel in the shoe curve, try it in different places until you find the right angle on your foot arch. I was putting it following the shoe shape, the curvature of the shoe, not my foot, and that made the gel feel akward and not natural, people probably knows that, I did not. Anyways, once I found where my heel was in reference of the insole, that is where I left it. Two: the gel glue allows for repositioning of the gel. Once I found the natural curvature of my foot against the shoe, the get stayed there. The gel also allows you to "shape" it a bit towards the insole for a more natural feel. Thank you for making this product available to us in an affortable price. Three: Remember that most of us have one foot shaped different than the other. The get comes in a clear paper sheet, once you remove it, the glue portion is exposed, if you are afraid of loosing the glue while you are figuring out where to put it in your show, you could cut the paper and leave the gel on it, until you figure out where excatly your arch "sits" on your foot. Also, do not feel limited to set it down on the flat surface of the insole. I ended up setting the left foot gel kind of half way in the flat portion of the insole, and another portion of the gel in the shape of the inner side of the shoe, that was the best most natural and most comfortable position of the get for my foot and shoe. I will try to upload a picture to show that. Thank you for making this product available to us in an affortable price.

The arch support was great and really helped my feet, but the inserts wouldn’t stay stuck to my shoes. They felt a little odd at first, but I got used to them after a while. Overall, good support but needs better adhesion.

If you need a moving lump in your shoe, this is it. The glue doesn't work on shoe insoles, and the amount of movement you put it through during normal wear means it will move allllllot. If you have extremely high arches this might fit your foot, but it won't stay in place and it's not flexible enough for normal wear. I have high arches - easily 1/4"+ when standing. This was uncomfortable and seemed to be designed for people who have 1/2" arches. Don't bother - waste of money. ... unless you're doing your kid's science project.

My only issue was my foot became sweaty on top of the support and I was wearing sandals and my foot turned in the sandal. I think I need a fabric kind. My feet don't usually sweat so I think it was just the material. My feet were sore the first few days but survivable. They are not really sandal friendly if you are wearing the type of sandal that is shaped like an insole if that makes sense. It takes up the entire mid section of the sandal making it hard to walk and uncomfortable, for me anyway. But it all in all it did the job I may only use again if I need.

So I'm not sure why these only have 3.5 stars??? I've got an extremely high arch. I was a Bellerina on toe shoes for many many years. That being said I do believe being born with an unnaturally high arch as it is being on toe shoes for years not only destroyed my feet and caused my arches to be even higher!!! (No I would NOT change being a pro-dancer for much of my life! I Loved it) I'm not a dancer anymore life has a way of sneaking up on you and before you know you're in your 40's ⬆️ and a Granny of three Beautiful Granddaughters! Yes we have our hands full! Anyway, sorry I'm a rambler lol! I've got serious back issues and had to have surgery that fixed the problem while simultaneously giving me another problem. I secretly wish I'd NEVER had my back surgery at all! Even tho we're not sure what could have happened had I not had the surgery, possibly wheelchair. I was also in an extremely abusive relationship for too many years. There was a cyst on my spine the docs were pretty sure was my spinel fluid leaking from trauma.. My body created a wall to contain it. It would have more than likely continued to grow as the pain kept increasing to a point my only other option was mad RX drugs! And NO thank you! I know too many people that have developed a habit from taking the same meds to control pain! My body is very battered but not broken! It kills me every day knowing what my body was once capable of. We all get old! Do NOT beat yourself up over that! Is what I tell myself on the daily! I've lived A Lot in my years. So not only do I have back problems, I've got neuropathy and mental illness but we won't get into all that lol! My feet ache if I don't have support. Let's face it most women's shoes don't have adequate support unless you pay a fortune and then they're not always the cutest. Until now! These arch inserts are Amazing! Mine have to be in a weird spot bc of how high my arches are but they do the trick! I can now wear my cute sandals that don't have much support! Having the correct arch support has made a difference in my days! One wouldn't think just adding some support to shoes could make such a difference! These arches are for a HIGH Arch! If you do not have high arches these will hurt your feet! For me they could be just a touch higher but they work as is! My back pain is greatly reduced, my feet don't ache just standing in place or walking to the coffee store a few blocks down from work when I'm exhausted! They've made a Great improvement in my life! If you've got high arches you will Love these! This is a little tip I learned. Since these stick best on your 1st use wipe your shoe and BEFORE you peel this off the plastic align them w/your arch to figure out where you'll need to place it in your shoe. Then try your shoe on and get an idea of where your arch is in your shoe. I use a pen to make a Very small mark on the side of my shoe where my arch is. Place your arches in and boom! You've got much more comfort in the shoes you've been wishing you could wear! Even with shoes that already have footbed support everyone's arches sit differently. Some even bug me if the support isn't in the right spot I get shooting nerve pain up my foot. It's not the best feeling! I use these arches in some of those kind of shoes as well! I hope all my rambling has helped. Thank You for making these arch supports! I'm a customer for life!

I bought these to add to my worn out work shoes so I could use an extra cushion insole and still have the high arch support I needed. Generally I use custom made insoles but I didn’t want to use those in my work shoes. When they came the package was all in good order; however, the product itself was not exactly what I was expecting. The product is very hard, high and has no give to it. Within seconds of use I started having foot pain. I’m not sure if this has something to do with my feet being on the small size (6) could be they work better for those with larger feet? I immediately stopped using them and stuck them in my closet….they will be going to an upcoming garage sale.

Can’t fix in my shoe

I attached these to a pair of flat very open sandals and I was very impressed with the following: 1. They glued and stayed on the whole time with nothing else around the sandals to support them, 2. Clear colour no one else even knew they were there, complete see through, 3. We’re the sandals all day long and my feet never hurt, please note before this I could not were flat shoes for very long. Would buy these again and again. I want them in all the shoes and sandals and flip flops that I can not use my orthotics.

Used it for my heel boots. Before using this, my feet hurt so much in it after spending an hour or two in it cuz my arch didn't have the necessary arch support Bought this and another brand with lower arch support than this and used both and this won as i had no pain even though I spend 4+ hours on my feet in those boots. It depends on how high your arch. For me that other brand was also ok, had a bit of discomfort whereas this one was perfect. There are adhesive sticker on both sides of it and getting it off might be a bit of challenge.

I received my item that’s clearly been opened so it’s hard to trust it’s reliability now

Algo duro al inicio pero si amoldan y si ayudan, además que son reusables
