I have Summer Soles on my wishlist to try too, so I'm glad Robin likes them. Pedag makes insoles made of terrycloth - initially designed for barefoot wear in the summer, but they would help your slipping around problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979911 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 00:25:44 +0000 Style Fan 1979911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use felt ones for warm.&nbsp; They are pretty thin and I don't think they are slippery.&nbsp; Sheepskin ones are very fluffy and I find they take up room in the footwear until they have been worn for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979875 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 21:06:59 +0000 elpgal 1979875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lot of barefoot shoe enthusiasts wear felt or sheepskin insoles. I havent tried them yet, so don't have recommendations for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979873 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 20:58:32 +0000 Vix 1979873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ginger -- yep. Though sometimes I just use them alone minus my "hard" inserts. They're pretty thin and flatten out once you start putting your body weight on 'em!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979789 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:17:34 +0000 RobinF 1979789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these for in my shoes in the summer to absorb sweat. They are very thin and have a suede-like finish. I wear them without hose but they might work for your needs.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.summersoles.com/">https://www.summersoles.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979786 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 15:09:02 +0000 Anonymous 1979786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive used many sorts, but the dollar store ones run small...very very small....Could you cut some non slippery fabric to fit, fleece or felt or denim or such? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979780 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 14:13:24 +0000 LaPed 1979780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest Spenco insoles but Carter beat me to it. They have a textile on top that is fairly textured, not too smooth. DH has low-volume feet and uses Spenco insoles in some of his boots to keep his feet from sliding around. Can't speak to how they would work with heels, but they do come in a wide variety of thicknesses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979774 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 13:57:36 +0000 Ginger 1979774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! To clarify, the ones I'm using now are $3 drugstore ones. The white on top is very slippery with hosiery and a heeled shoe.</p> <p><b>cjh</b>, if I turn them upside down I'm afraid the satin would slide down the shoe and bunch up!</p> <p><b>Laura,</b>&nbsp;<b>KMM</b>, and <b>carter</b>, thanks for the tip on brands. I will look into all of these.<br /><b><br />Joy</b>, I'm kind of afraid to put tape on the insoles. The tape will shift and wear away with time, and then the adhesive will be exposed and gum up and stain my hosiery. (My feet do move a lot in my shoes.)</p> <p><b>Vix</b>, are you saying you add lambswool insoles on top of your regular ones? I've seen some and thought they might have a nice gentle grip. The thickness might be too much, but if they have the right grip I may be able to find some skinny ones.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979749 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 12:49:29 +0000 carter 1979749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these. I don't find them slippery at all, but I use them so I can wear my shoes without hosiery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979698 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 04:10:47 +0000 Vix 1979698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lambswool. I wear mine on top of Superfeet this time of year, but agree the SF are pretty good re lack of slip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979692 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:59:31 +0000 Angie 1979692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the foamy $3 drugstore kind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979687 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 03:42:24 +0000 Anonymous 1979687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you put some strips of medical adhesive tape or even masking tape on top of the inserts you have? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979670 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:28:01 +0000 KMM 1979670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Superfeet has an assortment of varieties and the tops are a synthetic, not too slippery material. They’re more expensive than the drugstore brands but hold up well and offer good support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979668 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:25:02 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1979668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get the thicker foam inserts that have a cloth like top, but they do take up more room in the shoe. I mostly have ordered from Amazon and the Dr Foot and Powerstep brands have been good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979665 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 02:18:49 +0000 cjh 1979665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy that type of insert from the dollar stores. They don’t last forever, but then again they only cost a dollar, or maybe two. They aren’t quite as satiny as the pricier ones. Another idea would be to turn the, upside down so your foot is in contact with the rubber side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-looking-for-insoles#post-1979651 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 00:40:49 +0000 Ginger 1979651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need recommendations! I commonly wear regular Dr. Scholl's foam inserts in lots of my shoes, year 'round. They help take up empty space in shoes, keeping me from slipping around, and add some cushioning. They work in flats and heels alike. Totally flat, between 1/8" and 1/4".</p> <p>But I have trouble in winter when I wear hose and tights with heels. The surface of these inserts is satin, and my feet slip downhill in tights! It almost negates the purpose of having an insert, since it messes up the fit and jams my toes against the shoe.</p> <p>I like Pedag inserts, but most of their regular inserts seem to have a smooth leather surface. That's almost as slippery as the satin. And they're more expensive.</p> <p>I just need a little grip, like suede or some kind of synthetic or non-satin fabric. Gel is a bit excessively sticky, and they also tend to have a lot more "design" to them. I'm looking for a pretty basic insert - no arch support or heel contouring and minimal thickness.&nbsp; </p>
