would this support and stabilize a flat foot ? Have lace ups, but they cut Into foot and eventually loosen up whike walking due to foot pronation.

I never had the lace ups, but I found that the velcro did not loosen up as I walked. I wear a size 12 shoe and they recommend XXL. I find the XL to be better since I can pull the velcro tighter.

If you're really flat-foot challenged, I would recommend going to an arthropod who is a pro at fitting orthotics and is connected with good labs who make them. I've tried buying them in stores and on line. But my feet and ankles are a mess, and the best solutions have come from the doctors.

Yes, it should work. I shove this footfitter into every shoe. Heels, boots and flats. I am very happy with the product. It's well made and does the job. Hope this helps.

If you can remove the original liner,in one piece, they should work. You are taking a chance on ruining the shoe because sneakers are coming out with really glued on insoles and they are part of the shoe structure. I can't walk in these flat shoes so I get desperate sometimes. You could look for a 3/4 SOFT arch support or even a flat foam heel pad-something with a low profile, to raise and protect your heel and arch. They usually come with adhesive but glue dots work to hold them in place because the darn things slide around and mess with your foot/leg/back muscles. I find those gel heel pads rock too much too but you could try them. You just can't add too much height or stiffness. If you can lift the heel part of a glued in insole and not have uneven tears, and get one of those low profile heel pads under it without removing the entire insole-fantastic. Lady Foot Locker was carrying Spenco inserts and you can try them in your shoes at a store to see if they will even work for you.

Use a small flat head screw driver and undo the clip. These laces are awesome. They're tight enough to allow your feet to be stable in the shoes, but do not cause pressure point issues.

I was able to, but i wear shoes quite loose. I dont think it would work with all shoes/sneaker types. Its very sturdy and rigid, toomuch so for my needs. Very well built.

I think that since this is a more straighter design, and high heels/stiletto heel type shoe are so curved, it might have a difficult time trying to push the front end of this into the front of a shoe like that. There is absolutely no flexibility in the metal part of this device. However, I have seen shoe trees for high heels, so if you search a little bit further, you'll find them. Good luck!

Hi Lizzett, I have not tried the footfitter in a flat shoe, but I don't see why it should not work. When I first saw your question, I looked for some flats to stretch, but I don't have any. Unless all your shoes are flats, I would say that the footfitter is an excellent investment. I did a lot of research to find a good stretcher; unfortunately most are not good.

The device is designed to slide into the shoe as it's anchor. In it's present form, I don't believe it would be a help to you.

Yes, and tight laces prevent achilles problems too! (see Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis if you already have it).

Yes. Majority of my shoes are 4-4 1/2 heels and stretch the front shoes so does not pinch when my foot push forward due to the height.

I would think so. Naturally, men have a bigger bone structure anyway so I would think that if you had a men's insole that it should conform better to your feet. I hope I answered your question to the best of my ability.

I go shoeless quite often.It is no problem and you will not fall out when clamps are tightened to the last click.

I think that it is unlikely with this orthotic, unless they have a narrow version. I did not find this helpful, and no longer use it.

Yes and No...I think it will help but you should also add something stronger to it. I wear my during the day with shoes, I hope this helps

Yes...IF your shoes are already snug. However these supports, with you having a sizable "buzz" going, will make YOU tight.

I am not sure if you could get them to stay on the way you need it to. I have fairly large toes and I broke my big toe. It just fit with the big toe and second toe in it. But they do have velcro to help adjust it to your feet. So it might be worth at least giving it a try.
