Big Shoe Filler, Unisex Shoe Inserts To Make Big Shoes Fit, Medium

Ok, first, let me preface this review by saying that I have big feet for a woman who is only 5'5". Even as a skinny kid in 5th grade I was wearing a size 8 women's shoes.. no joke. So my entire life has been centered around finding the perfect shoes that don't look like boats on my feet. And let me tell you, that struggle was made all the harder by the time I became an adult, because when my feet finally stopped growing, they settled on 10.5. So not only do I have big feet, but I had to have it stop on a half-size, too?!!! What the hell did I do in my previous life to deserve such a hellish punishment??! Sorry... I digress. So you ladies who are in between sizes can feel my pain because it's so hard to find shoes that fit because half sizes in general are rare to find. So you are stuck trying to squeeze into the smaller size and endure excruciating pain whenever you wear them OR risk breaking your neck trying to walk in them if you go the next size up. Now, my big feet comrades out there will agree with me on this next point. If the half size wasn't bad enough, I'm now stuck with picking through the big ugly women's shoes. Like, WHY are the cute shoes only available in the smaller sizes??? Who made the rule that anything over a size 9 has to be hideous??? Unless you are ready to spend some serious money (and I do mean SERIOUS money) on shoes, we big feet women (well, those of us who like to dress nice and have cute shoes to go with our cute outfits, at least) are always constantly shoe shopping... Well, more like window shopping, because more often then not, that cute shoe you fell in love with WON'T be in your size (even when excluding the half size), and if it is in your size (again, excluding the half size), the price tag on them will force you to either leave them on the shelf, or splurge and buy them, effictively exhausting all of your spending money for the next month or two... or maybe even three. So we are always on the look out for that rare pair of cute shoes, in our size, and on sale! So when a local boutique (known for having cute, professional, work appropriate stilettos and pumps in bigger sizes, albeit expensive) announced it was having a clearance sale, up to 75% off on the entire shoe selection, I couldn't get there fast enough. I bought 7 pairs of stunning, high quality pumps, and I wasn't going to be homeless! It was the most amazing feeling in the world! Until I started trying to where them for work. Not surprisingly, the boutique didn't carry half sizes, so I'd bought all 7 pairs in a size 11 (after trying on the 10's just to confirm that my feet didn't magically shrink by half a size), thinking it would be smarter to size up, rather than down, since I was going to be in these shoes for at least 9 hours, and past experiences of wearing too small shoes for even 1 hour still haunt me (I swear I still feel phantom pain from time to time). And, clever girl that I am, I even prepared the night before work by purchasing several different shoe filler products and heal wedges, confident that at least one of them, or maybe a combination of them would solve the problem of the shoes slipping off of my feet mid-stride, saving me from a most certain death. Imagine my surprise when none of the products worked... not a one... not alone, and not even as a combination. I barely survived that day at work. If I wasn't constantly fidgeting with one product, trying to keep it in the shoe where it was supposed to be and not working itself up and out of the shoes as I walked, then I was constantly trying fish out and straighten the other product that kept bunching up, rolling itself into a ball inside the shoe, causing pain every time I took a step. So not only were the products a complete failure, but I spent the entire day desperately trying to avoid embarrassment by trying to inconspicuously adjust the products, praying no one noticed the odd shuffle walk I had to do to keep the products from moving around so much and to save me from falling on my face if the shoes slipped too much off of my feet at the exact wrong moment. Not too mention, on top of all that, I still ended up in pain, the ONE thing I wanted to avoid the most! So, needless to say, 7 pairs of beautiful shoes sat, unworn... for months. Until, by chance, I happened upon this product, while randomly searching on Amazon (yes, I do that when I get bored, lol) and finally decided to give it another shot and took a chance on this product, and let me you, I am so glad I did! This filler is amazing!!!!!!! It stays in place, doesn't move, doesn't bunch up, and the memory foam is so soft, so no pain! Now, I do want to warn you that it's not the most natural feeling in the world, because, of course, you have something stuffed in your shoe, so you are going to feel it and you are going to be constantly aware that it is there, but compared to the nightmare I experienced with the other products, this is a minor issue that I am completely willing to overlook. This product saved my shoes, my life, and my sanity! By the way, I will be ordering again, but this time I will purchase the medium size. I initially purchased this product in size small, but since all shoes are not created equal, I did experience minor slippage still with a couple pair of the shoes, which, I firmly believe, is due to the shoe brand running slightly bigger, and not indicative of an issue with the product. So if you are like me, and are on the verge of giving up on the hope of ever being able to wear those too big shoes you got that great deal on, do yourself a favor and don't. Keep trying, because as you know, my fellow in-betweeners and big feet ladies, it already takes a lot to find that perfect shoe, so don't let something like it being a little too big keep you from rocking the hell out of those shoes!!!

I bought a Small and a Medium pair of these inserts. I'm about to buy another Small pair. These were pretty great for me and got a good deal of use before breaking apart, but I wish the price was lower for what they are. I've used them with heels and flats and they really helped make several pairs of shoes wearable. One pair was about a size too big and the inserts plus heel grips made the shoes perfectly comfortable. There was some learning involved to figure out what worked for my feet and my shoes. I ended up typically angling the inserts so that they weren't straight in the toe, but a bit off to the outside (and this varies somewhat with different toe shapes and sizes). The inserts were soft and molded to the volume they occupied, and I couldn't even feel them. I felt like I got good use out of the inserts before they started breaking apart. That seems pretty inevitable to me considering the toes and toenails digging into them. What really seemed to do it in was getting sand in my shoes, the extra friction from the sand particles caused some little pieces to break off within hours. Would be an ideal product if the surface was tougher somehow, but without compromising the softness. Or if they cost at most half of what they do (~$15 is a bit too much for something with such a limited lifespan, IMO)

These hurt my toes. Maybe I should have gotten a medium instead of a small since the shoes were still a little loose. I just can’t imagine a tighter fit would have felt any better on my toes. Really wanted these to work!

My kid was born with Club foot, and his left foot is significantly smaller than his right. He fell in love with a pair of sneakers but they had no laces so we couldn't tighten them like we usually do. So I ordered these and put one in his left shoe and MAN what a life saver!!! He's so happy and the shoe fits perfectly now!! So glad these are a thing! Thank you!!!

For several years now, I have reviewed many items here on Amazon.com. After I receive each item, I fully test it and then review it either positively or negatively. After purchasing this item and then fully testing it in my Sneakers, I am not at all happy with this pair of shoes inserts... Because this is my honest opinion review, regretfully, I am giving this a negative review for the reasons listed below: Ordered this set from Amazon.com and I ordered the in Small instead of Medium. Yes, my mistake, however, please keep reading this review for more details...Also I am hoping that Shoolex is reading this as I have made suggestions that I think will improve this set. Problems with these: 1 This set is too hard. 2 They are uncomfortable and pinch my toes. Even if my set was in a Medium size, because of the hardness of this foam material, I believe that these would still be uncomfortable and pinch my toes. 3 The cut of these shoe inserts is not as exactly right. 4 Does not work at all in my Sneakers, even if I ordered a Medium size, I do not believe it would have worked. 5 Hurt my toes greatly. My own thoughts on how these inserts could be improved on : 1 If these were made into Two types...one for Regular/Dress shoes, a second type for Sneakers that is wider and just for Sneakers. 2 Make these into a softer foam that has more give/comfort on the toes. 3 Make these just a tiny bit thinner and more the shape of a foot. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final thought: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE....After wearing/testing these inserts, they do not work at all in my shoes and I regret this purchase.

These things are tiny. They might fit a child’s shoe, but not an adult’s. I would order a bigger size but based on their specs these should have been perfect.

Amazing product! I bought a limited edition pair of Vans and the only available size was half a size too big but bought them anyway and haven't been able to wear them because of blisters. These made my shoes fit perfectly and now I can wear them again! I got the yellow ones since they worked for a half-size difference

Very small

I had a pair of boots which were slightly big & I bought these to fill the gap at my toes, they work so well. Really comfortable & soft & fit like a glove. Excellent value & I would definitely recommend
