Pedag Lady Gel | Made in Germany | Ultra Thin Gel Insole for High Heels & Pumps | Metatarsal Pad | Heel Pad | Velour Top | Size Large, Fits US Women 11-12 / EU 41-42 | Tan | 1 Pair

I bought a pair a while back and did not get to try them because I got hurt and had surgery. No cute shoe for a long time for me. After months of wearing the walking boot I noticed that even things like house shoes bothered me. I remembered I had a pack of Pedags so I tried it. WOW! It really helped me a lot. I graduated to wearing a shoe with a small wedge and this kept them comfortable as well. I have not tried them in high heels as that is a no-no for me.It is surprising that this provides the comfort it does because looking at it you might have some concerns. The insole is very thin which does not change the fit of your shoe. Because you buy these by size, the thicker gel cushions are perfectly placed. I wear a woman's (US size) 5 1/2 or 6. I bought the size 6 Pedag. Perfect fit.I do love the soft velvety part that touches your foot. It keeps your foot from sticking to the insole or the shoe. There is no glue on the insole, just the gel that hold them to your shoe, so they can be moved between shoes without leaving a sticky residue on your shoe's foot bed. The Pedag is washable which is great for where I live because there is always a puddle looking for a shoe to invade. I just ordered three more pairs so I would have several pairs of shoes ready to go and I would have a spare if I got mugged by a puddle.

I loved these right out of the package. They were thin, but surprisingly supportive. They are made out of that sticky gel found in dashboard organizers, so they still well but can be washed down easily and made sticky again. I like this idea so they can be pulled up and readjusted or to be switched to another shoe.The problem I'm having is, I've had them maybe two weeks and the "velvety" part of the insert is peeling up and separating from the gel. They also come to just under my toes so I have this little ridge that is not uncomfortable, but I feel it there and can't stop playing with it with my toes. That makes dirt and dust get under the lip and makes the gel no longer sticky (until I wash them) It's just not as convenient as I'd have liked.I think these in a pair of closed toe shoes would not have these problems, however.

You know that sound your flip flops make as they peel off your foot?? That's what my new dress sandals were doing every time I took a step. Besides the noise factor in the office (embarrassing), the sound of my (clean, but) sweaty feet peeling off my dress shoes was just gross! These inserts were exactly what I needed to help absorb and wick away some of the moisture from my feet, and quiet my steps in the office. As a bonus, I got a little extra cushion too! I've worn these inserts in my shoes several times and haven't had any issues with them moving or coming loose from my shoes.Also I would recommend ordering up a size (as long as your shoes aren't super narrow). I wear a 9 M and ordered the recommended size M inserts, and they are just a bit too small (tan shoes - size M). The coverage on the heel doesn't quite cover the shoe bottom, making for a ridge that can be uncomfortable at times (usually I get used to it as the day goes on). The next pair I decided to order a L instead, and this made all of the difference. The heel pad covers the shoes almost exactly (red shoes - size L), and the length is long enough to offer a bit more length under the foot pad (to help absorb more moisture around the toes).All in all I really love these inserts. They are not super cushy, but do add a tiny bit of comfort, plus lots of moisture absorption! Whenever the size M inserts wear out in my nude shoes, I will definitely order another pair in size L to replace them. Great product!!!

I definitely prefer the leather version. These do not have nearly as much support. I think the fabric feels nice against your feet and there is a slight cushion, but it doesn't have nearly the same amount of metatarsal arch support, so not worth it in my opinion. On the plus side, these don't adhere as much, so it is possible to move them to different pairs of shoes, while the leather ones stick very firmly/are permanent.

I've purchased these several times. My feet tend to get a bit sweaty, especially when wearing closed toe shoes, so I use these to keep from slipping around. They provide enough cush to increase comfort but do not cause bulkiness. They have that sort of sticky soft plastic lining on the back that really keeps them in place. I have moved from one pair of shoes to another many times, but if you've left them in a pair for a while, it can really get stuck. For that reason, I usually remove them after each wear. I've also successfully wiped the sticky side with a wet paper town to clean off any dust etc. which seems to renew the stickiness (not like new, but definitely enough to work). I highly recommend these inserts and will continue to buy them.

These are extremely thin which is great for wearing with tighter shoes, but the metatarsal pad is practically non-existent. For those with Morton's Neuromas, that pad is very important, but these insoles just don't cut it.

These insoles are just what I wanted for some sling-back style platforms where you can see some of the sole around the heel and arch areas. They are very slim and stick well (they are washable/re-stickable). These are the kind of insoles you get for a little extra comfort from friction and impact in heels and sandals, but not for when you need major support for other kinds of shoes. I wear size 7.5 US (5 UK) and I got the size Small. I think even an 8.5 would do well with the size Small insoles, because there is a little bit of room. However, if you get the larger size, it looks like they could be easily trimmed from the top. The reason I purchased these is that they are Made in Germany, and I am sick of all the China crap in stores. Glad I bought them here- the price is comparable and I feel better about the purchase.
