Absolutely, go for it. I did, about, 15-yrs ago and now my once FLAT FEET have natural arches. Don't rush it, wear your orthotics for a half hour on day one and then go from there, depending on how you do. I've purchased all my orthotics from ArchCrafters, except for once. I recall that exception, orthotics from another company, was a total mistake cause I gave them to the dumpster. Not the ArchCrafters ; I still use my first pair of their orthotics. Right, they do not wear out. HillbillyPS. The caviot from Amazon, "not suitable for flat feet", I must assume, is to protect against law suits. Lawyers... Absolutely, go for it.

YES!!! I have flat feet and I always use Spenco's in my shoes; they are comfortable to the point where I'm replacing all insoles of all shoes I buy with Spenco; the arch part is not uncomfortable and it is hard for me to wear a shoe "without" an arch support; this insole provides excellent cushioning as well. Get it!! Don't hesitate!!

I am using it with Toce slip ons. Did require a small amount of modification

It doesn't matter of your shoe size. You should be fine. Both me and my husband use it and he has big feet and I have small feet.

Yes, we recommend removing the original insoles (unless they're very thin) before inserting our product. Thanks!

I've only used it with sneakers but i'm guessing you could do it with bare feet.I find the styrofoam a bit caustic on the bare foot.In PT place they have ones made of wood but they are far more costly.This is a great stretching tool

I would think so! It is really strong stuff. I put it under my orthotics to hold in place in my shoes. The stuff is so sticky I don't think they will ever be coming out. Good stuff!

No not for boots, these are made for shoes that are heels or flat if the shoe is is boot like made for example having the closure in the back it will not work. There are on the market stretchers made for boots you can use for some mid top sneakers but not boots

Yes. The come in one size and you cut them down to the size you need. You'll probably be wasting a lot of lace on each shoe..... but it would still work.

It raises the foot 3 to 4mm depending on the the original insole of the shoes because it will replace the old one. It will fit in your boots and it can be trimmed in the front, just check if the if the size of the shoes is within range of the insole specification. This is an insole for women so its range is lower, if the shoes are even bigger try the men insole.

Yes! I also used these for my husband's shoes, he needed them a bit wider. I would recommend you leaving the stretcher in for more than just the weekend.

Probably could but i wouldnt recommend it as it will tear up the bottom of it. Its meant to be inside the shoe.

Yes they can be, you don't need to use their insoles. Just use the insole covers that come in the kit

Yes. They work for my wife's heels although she doesn't wear high spikes. Works for flats fine.

Yes with a bit of care you should be able to stretch any type of shoes, the Bravo-fit has some peg tools that will give you targeted stretching just where needed.

The way the insole is made is shown in the pic showing to the left here. ArchCrafters send you a box with a special soft foam plastic material and instructions for you to step in it standing in a normal fashion. Perhaps ArchCrafters can give you a better answer as to if they can custom adjust one for you. I'm trying to think of how you would do it. I think you could vary the resulting sole thickness by not following the instructions and doing the two feet differently. For one foot you could sit on a chair and only put part of your weight on that foot for a lighter impression. On the other foot you could hold a 50 pound bag of dog food while you step into the box. One insole would be thicker than the other but I can not figure out which one. Perhaps some else reading this can figure that out. Another approach might be to follow the standard instructions and then use an added wedge under the heal that needs the higher lift.

I think the pedals are a little too small for normal shoes but the pedals are still flat do I don't see why not. Matter of personal preference I suppose!!!
