Do these go in over your shoes pre-installed insoles or do they go in instead of your shoes pre-installed insoles?

Either or. They aren't that thick, so you can put them on top of the existing insole. However if you want to get rid of the existing pre-installed cushion you can do that too. I actually tried it both ways to find the best fit for me.

I put them in - in place of the shoes pre-installed insoles. Not room for both of them in my shoes. They are very comfortable. I am 6'1' - 215 lbs. stand all day and they make it possible.

I don't really understand your question. Insert the orthotic even with the back of the heel of the shoe. This positions the pad correctly under the foot. I have worn this product for several years without difficulty or pain.

Most running shoes have removable cushions. I take the existing cushions out and use them as a template for trimming the Powersteps. You'll need to remove the factory insoles anyway. I wear 9 1/2 shoes but my arch is a bit farther forward than normal so I buy size 10-10 1/2 insoles and trim for a proper fit.

No, they're the same, but that's what I like about them. What I do is place one directly on my foot where a metatarsal pad would be placed. That way, after a little trial-and-error, you can position them under each foot in a way that suits you. You can only wear these twice before the adhesive wears off but hey, there're cheap.

Good question. I do for some and not for others. It's better than insoles when the pain is more pronounced but insoles work for me when playing and using tennis shoes etc.

They are better than the regular insert that comes with the shoe. You can definitely feel a difference. It's not much but it's better.

The gel part actually touches your skin so I put on my sock first and then the metatarsal pad. For me If I put it on before my socks, it slid around too much. I got another kind from my podiatrist and the gel is covered with material so I put that kind under my sock.

No It doesn't - they're just deep plastic inserts to hold about a third of the shoe in securely.

Yes the inserts are removable. That was the first thing I did I purchased a pair of insoles from REI and they were cut to the exact size of the OEM and they work great.

I put these in my tennis shoes and just took out the insert that was in them first so they would fit better. I have not tried them in other types of shoes. Not sure if this helps.

None with mine. I have put these on before. Just place so laces tighten firmly. I also put duct tape rolls underneath to stabilize. Works well.

These booties are self-lined. In other words the same semi-soft plastic you see on the outside is what you will find inside. You are supposed to put on a pair of paraffin protector liners before inserting your foot - it would not be wise to go against manufacturer's instructions. It is the same as you would see them do in the salon or the podiatrist office (I've had treatments in both places and they all follow the same procedure).

You butt them up against the back inside of your shoe. You may need to use your finger to hold it in place while you slide your foot in to your shoe.

You probably can wear them in anything. I have been wearing them in sandals. Once your foot is down, it holds them in place. I have not used the adhesive strip because I move them from shoe to shoe. You can see them from the side, but they are not hugely noticeable. I have another longer pair of inserts that I have worn in clogs.

Definitely for regular shoes. I found that some shoes had a heel well that was even too wide for them and they just slid around a lot. Some tape fixed that but it was an obnoxious fix. In the end, I just ended up buying a full insole piece. They worked much better.

These are made to be on top of the shoe inserts, they will not fit properly underneath because of the way they are molded. They have helped me very much and are approved by my podiatrist.

do you have to remove the rock guards to install these?? or do they fit over them
