Shoe Inserts for Heels and Pumps?
shoe gal asked:
I’m wondering if anyone knows how to remove those Dr. Scholl’s “For Her” shoe inserts? There is a strip of glue that you peel before inserting into the shoe. I’m trying to remove it because the pad is so thick that it’s make the shoe even more uncomfortable to wear than it was before. The problem is this pad is GLUED in there and when I go to pull it off, there’s still a layer of foam that runs down the center of the shoe. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove this without ruining my shoe?

shoe inserts in Marine boot camp?
CK asked:
I’ve heard some people say that if you have flat feet, you can get shoe inserts (issued or buy them sometime; I’ve heard mixed answers). I was wondering if this is true or not. I personally do not need inserts, but it certainly would be nice to have them to help reduce the chance of injury.

Introduction to Shoes Lift
Jerry Ji asked:
What is shoes lift?
Shoes lift is also known as footwear lifts or elevator insole/inserts. Shoes lift is originated from Elevator Shoes. When shoes makers first made elevator shoes, they found it’s very hard to produce a lot of styles for elevator shoes as normal shoes. Also, customers ask for something like an insole to put in normal shoes to make them look taller. Then some footwear makers tried to take out the inner insole of elevator shoes and trimmed it to a standalone insole.
However, lift insert in the early stage are not comfortable because of material and the height of the insert. As time goes, there are more and more elevator insole products in markets with different material, style and height. Like elevator shoes, by wearing elevator shoes, one can look taller instantly and look slimmer. For some people, soft elevator insole can reduce foot pain caused by dress shoes. Also, a good elevator insole can help eliminate foot pain because of the additional arch support.
Shoe lifts are usually 0.5-2.5 inches depend on different styles and materials. Inserts more than 3” are generally very uncomfortable. Unless you have to, otherwise you should choose an insole lower than 2 inches.
Please note that height lifts are different from heel lifts. Heel lifts are for people with different length of legs[1], so that the added height is hard not soft. However, some people use shoes lift as heel lift. It depends on personal preferences.
Different types of shoe lifts
Manufactures try to make different kinds of insoles to adapt with different footwear. Unlike early days, we now have insoles including full, half and detachable insole.
Full-insole: It is designed to support the full foot. It’s like normal insole but the grade increase gradually from front to the back. Because of the full foot support, full-insole is generally the most comfortable kind of insole/insert. However, not every footwear can adapt this. It requires more room in the head part of the shoe.
Half-insole: It is designed to only support the heel part of the foot. Because of the missing support for the front part of the foot, this kind of insole is less comfortable than full-insole. But half insole/inserts are more adaptive. It can be put on very light shoes.
Detachable Insoles: It has multiple layers (usually two or three). Wearers can adjust the height of the insole based on personal preferences. Both full-insole and half-insole can be made as detachable insole. Some people even put detachable insole into elevator shoes.
Materials used in lift inserts
There are generally four types materials used in elevator insoles, wood, hard-rubber, soft-rubber and gel.
Wood: Wood is usually used in heel lifts because it’s hard. However, in early days, people also use wood lift as footwear lift. No manufacture is producing shoes lifts in wood now.
Hard-rubber: Hard-rubber is also mostly used in heel lifts. Some people prefer hard-rubber as shoes lift because the hardness which is between wood and soft-rubber. Also, this is probably the cheapest material.
Soft-rubber: Soft-rubber is the most common material used in elevator insoles. The only problem for soft-rubber is smell. New insoles made in soft rubber have an odd smell. This smell usually goes away once you wear it. Most people like soft-rubber because it’s softness.
Gel: Gel is most update to date material for shoes lift. It was used as body plant material. Because most shoes lift gel is low class silicon gel, it has a little petrol smell when it’s new. This is most comfortable material for shoes lift. Of course, it’s also the most expensive one.
Who are wearing footwear lift?
Both men and women wear elevator inserts today. Most people like to put elevator insole in boots because it’s hidden and more comfortable. There are more people wearing elevator insole than elevator shoes because elevator insole is cheaper and easy to adapt with normal shoes. However, most long-term wearers choose elevator shoes because of the comfort.

Walkfit Orthotic Insoles – Getting Up to Date
Christopher Schwebius asked:
Technology has guaranteed that even a severe affliction related to the foot may be cured today using the right kind of foot care product so that the inertia of rest may not be stretched to crippling limits. For conditions that have a surgical cure too, podiatrists nowadays turn to orthotic foot care to reduce pain and treat the problem; surgery is anyways a last resort.
Walkfit orthotic insoles and inserts happen to be one of the more popular foot orthotics store to make their products available online. People have learnt from experience that the claims made in ‘infomercials’ are not met in practice more often than not but with Walkfit orthotic insoles it has only been a matter of getting habituated to its comfort before the strictest skeptic had to turn around.
Orthotics has not been a very recognizable subject for a long time and in a way it is with products like Walkfit insoles and inserts that the treatment has become a household name. Foot care orthotics is an expansive subject that include custom made inserts prepared on the doctor’s recommendation as well as off-the-shelf devices like foot pads, ankle braces, heel cups and insoles and shoe inserts. Walkfit is readily available but equipped with the quality of accurate fit in footwear of any shape and size; its comfort is assured in most of the foot ailments – common and not so common. As an ideal foot care product, these insoles and shoe inserts have been ergonomically designed by podiatrists and provide optimum support and protection in normal as well as stressful functions that feet are subjected to.
The success rate of Walkfit insoles is high and over 90% of users have benefited from them in a decided way. A number of foot problems like heel spurs, flat feet and rigid arches, soreness of the foot succumb to the rectifying treatment of orthotics. Most of us are not aware of the tremendous load our feet have to bear even in regular day-to-day activity. Potential dangers of injury from twists, turns, sprains or pulls may affect freedom of movement in a serious way.
Even professional athletes and sportspersons have found the protection and support of insoles to have an enhancing effect on performance. A common injury faced by runners is shin splint or periostitis caused by over pronation, errors during training, change in running surfaces and also fatigue. Along with ultra-sound therapy, appropriate orthotic insoles are coupled with footwear as a curative measure. Walkfit insoles and inserts have been recommended to correct biomechanical dysfunction and over pronation.
Orthotics, special corrective insoles have also been suggested for treating bunions, corns and calluses. Bunions do not disappear and they take several months to heal. In such a case insoles have been a great source of comfort. It has to be remembered that when using insoles as a corrective treatment it would be worthwhile to follow simple routine foot care tips to enhance the effect. Ample rest during recovery, basic and easy physiotherapy exercises and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication will help to pick up pace faster. It is also a good idea to occasionally pamper your feet with a relaxing massage and a pedicure.

Shoe Inserts, Insoles & Arch Supports – There Really Is a Difference
Deano Handt asked:
The term “shoe inserts” is sometimes used generically for a variety of things that are inserted into the shoe. Understanding the differences between them could mean the difference between a pleasant walk in the park and a painful death march.
Inserts
These are the things you can pull out and remove from most athletic shoes. They are usually made of soft foam and may even have a shape formed in them that resembles an arch support. Unfortunately, these inserts really do little more than cover the stitching from the inside of the shoe. They are not nearly strong enough to actually hold your foot in its correct position, and are really no more than glorified cushions.
Insoles
These are primarily cushions, designed to absorb the shock when your feet hit the ground. While insoles do offer some comfort due to their inherent, “cushiony” material – and some even offer odor and wetness control – they give no real support for your feet or its arches and do nothing to keep your foot positioned properly. Their shape tends to cover the entire sole of the inside of the shoe, as it is made to fit your shoes, not your feet.
Arch Supports
While inserts and insoles are designed to fit your shoes, arch supports are made to fit your feet. Some places will try to sell you an off the shelf model of a “one size fits all” support, but don’t fall for it. If you just want some foot cushion, those are fine, but if you want your feet to be truly supported and held in their most ideal position for optimum stability and balance, you really need custom fit arch supports.
Your feet are constantly bending and flexing under your weight while you walk, run, jump or even just stand. Arch supports are the only one of the three foot devices listed that can relieve foot pain from most foot problems for long periods of time. If the arch in your foot is not supported properly, it can collapse, giving you what is commonly known as flat feet, or fallen arches. Neither insoles nor inserts can relieve your foot pain for any length of time. Arch supports can and do for millions of people.
There is a huge variety of arch support designed for your specific foot type as well as the lifestyle you live and the shoes you wear. Arch supports can be discreetly placed in athletic shoes, dress shoes, work boots, sandals and even high heels.
You can be personally fit in about 30 minutes and could walk out virtually pain free.
