Dr. Frederick’s Original Arch Support Gel Inserts - 6 ct - 1.1 cm High Arch Support for Plantar Fasciitis, Flat Feet & PES Cavus - Peel & Stick Reusable Insoles for Men & Women - Fits All Shoe Types

I am submitting my review to let people know of a few things about this product. One: Do not set the gel in the shoe curve, try it in different places until you find the right angle on your foot arch. I was putting it following the shoe shape, the curvature of the shoe, not my foot, and that made the gel feel akward and not natural, people probably knows that, I did not. Anyways, once I found where my heel was in reference of the insole, that is where I left it. Two: the gel glue allows for repositioning of the gel. Once I found the natural curvature of my foot against the shoe, the get stayed there. The gel also allows you to "shape" it a bit towards the insole for a more natural feel. Thank you for making this product available to us in an affortable price. Three: Remember that most of us have one foot shaped different than the other. The get comes in a clear paper sheet, once you remove it, the glue portion is exposed, if you are afraid of loosing the glue while you are figuring out where to put it in your show, you could cut the paper and leave the gel on it, until you figure out where excatly your arch "sits" on your foot. Also, do not feel limited to set it down on the flat surface of the insole. I ended up setting the left foot gel kind of half way in the flat portion of the insole, and another portion of the gel in the shape of the inner side of the shoe, that was the best most natural and most comfortable position of the get for my foot and shoe. I will try to upload a picture to show that. Thank you for making this product available to us in an affortable price.

The arch support was great and really helped my feet, but the inserts wouldn’t stay stuck to my shoes. They felt a little odd at first, but I got used to them after a while. Overall, good support but needs better adhesion.

If you need a moving lump in your shoe, this is it. The glue doesn't work on shoe insoles, and the amount of movement you put it through during normal wear means it will move allllllot. If you have extremely high arches this might fit your foot, but it won't stay in place and it's not flexible enough for normal wear. I have high arches - easily 1/4"+ when standing. This was uncomfortable and seemed to be designed for people who have 1/2" arches. Don't bother - waste of money. ... unless you're doing your kid's science project.

I have really high arches... My podiatrist said she always thought she had the highest until she saw mine & my siblings. I actually went to see her because I could barely put pressure on one of my feet & at the ER they didn't find anything broken and referred me to the group she is in. That's when I discovered how high my arches were. Though they hadn't fallen or anything like that yet, she felt that because my arches were so high they were most likely messing with other elements in my foot and causing me to have plantar fasciitis. Before I was fitted with arch supports I had to wear a lovely boot for 6 weeks and my walking was even limited. Not due to a boot - but because it wasn't getting better after the boot! Then I had therapy and was eventually fitted for orthotics. They worked OK in sneakers as long as I went up a half size, and in boots, as long as the heel wasn't over 2"...but they definitely didn't work for flats - which my podiatrist says I should never wear being my arches are so high... So next cane finding shoes that would work either with my prescribed arch supports or get some arch support stickies or find shoes that mold to your arch. These are almost high enough. But I haven't found a way to DIY them to be perfect for my arch. They're pretty solid, and not easy to make them support a higher arch. I ended up giving half of them to a younger sibling that has high arches too, just not as high as mine are. I find that the arch support by Skechers are pretty good & Bzees. There are a few others, but it's mainly hit or miss for me currently.

Can’t fix in my shoe

I attached these to a pair of flat very open sandals and I was very impressed with the following: 1. They glued and stayed on the whole time with nothing else around the sandals to support them, 2. Clear colour no one else even knew they were there, complete see through, 3. We’re the sandals all day long and my feet never hurt, please note before this I could not were flat shoes for very long. Would buy these again and again. I want them in all the shoes and sandals and flip flops that I can not use my orthotics.

Used it for my heel boots. Before using this, my feet hurt so much in it after spending an hour or two in it cuz my arch didn't have the necessary arch support Bought this and another brand with lower arch support than this and used both and this won as i had no pain even though I spend 4+ hours on my feet in those boots. It depends on how high your arch. For me that other brand was also ok, had a bit of discomfort whereas this one was perfect. There are adhesive sticker on both sides of it and getting it off might be a bit of challenge.

I received my item that’s clearly been opened so it’s hard to trust it’s reliability now

Excellent. Supports feet and makes fatter style shoes bearable.
