They are fairly new--I've only seen them in a couple of drugstores. They are a soft gel. They've saved some of my dressier shoes. The nice thing for me is that I can put them exactly where I need the arch support. And they are soft enough not to irritate the bowed tendon that the podiatrist tells me is the cause of many of my foot problems.</p> <p><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=271827&#038;catid=10310&#038;aid=337953&#038;aparam=dr_scholl_s_for_her_hid&#038;CAWELAID=523264278" rel="nofollow">http://www.drugstore.com/produ.....=523264278</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-fit-and-comfort-issues#post-229038 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 03:05:08 +0000 Elly 229038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have tried Mephistos as well.

I have tried inserting my orthotics into shoes. They are too thick however. Most over the counter arch-support products don't have enough support for me. They don't even touch my arches! If anyone has suggestions for some super-high/good ones-- especially stick in arch supports that wouldn't greatly affect the fit of the rest of the shoes I would be game, I just haven't found any myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-fit-and-comfort-issues#post-228988 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 01:44:11 +0000 Angie 228988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Elly.

I think they look too much like leather sneakers to really add much to my wardrobe, as I am pretty happy with my running sneaks for appropriate activities. I had never heard of the Beautifeel brand, but looking at some of their options I don't think they will have anywhere near enough arch for me.</p> <p>Angie-- </p> <p>I have these which you mold to your feet in an oven:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/montrail-molokini-calm-lemon-whip" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/montrail.....lemon-whip</a></p> <p>I have these in another brown color, but haven't worn them much, the company does make shoes with backs now, but the backs are too wide:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/klogs-usa-syracuse-driftwood-smooth" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/klogs-us.....ood-smooth</a></p> <p>and I have these boots-- although mine are a different brown and very old:<br /> <a href="http://www.bootbay.com/bootbay/product.asp?pf_id=PAAAIALEIELONEEN&#038;path=Search&#038;path=Double+H&#038;search_handle=QT1Eb3VibGUgSH5CPURvdWJsZSBIfkQ9OTZ_SD1Cb290YmF5fkk9UHJpY2V_Sz00fkw9MX5NPTF_&#038;scid=SearchResults&#038;spoffset=2&#038;s_id=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.bootbay.com/bootbay.....038;s_id=0</a></p> <p>All three of these pair are maybe 6 hour shoes if you push it. The only shoes I can wear for a full day are trail runners with my orthotics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-fit-and-comfort-issues#post-228908 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 23:46:17 +0000 biscuitsmom 228908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im SO sorry to hear of your problems! Have you ever tried SAS FreeTime shoes? Especially the *nubuck* ones..they are heavenly...They run differently than others from SAS...I dont have your issues, but I have arthritis in my toes, along with 4 screws in my ankle and fibro in my feet, so I have a VERY hard time getting shoes to work for me and I can wear these straight from the box, with no breaking in period...Ive also tried Beautifeel brand, which are good, but pricier....best of luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-fit-and-comfort-issues#post-228907 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 23:44:28 +0000 Angie 228907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lets see the shoes which you *can* wear, Elly. There must be a solution ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-fit-and-comfort-issues#post-228903 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 23:25:34 +0000 Elly 228903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies!</p> <p>In her fit issues thread, Sparky suggested I should start my own thread about my shoe fit issues in the hope one of you ladies could possibly help me out.</p> <p>I have extremely fussy feet. I have a medical condition that causes poor circulation and messed-up nerve conduction in my feet, so they are often cold and painful, or numb. I under-pronate and have extremely high arches. This means I need a shoe with some cushion, and also arch support. I do have orthotics that I wear, but they are fairly deep because of the cushion and high arches so they are very difficult to fit into anything other than sneakers. I have talked to the doc that does them for me and he made me a 3/4 pair, but they still have the depth issue. I have tried ordering larger or wider shoes, but wides are two wide side to side, and with my nerve issues I can't wear shoes that are too large in length because I will trip over them.</p> <p>I have tried almost every comfort brand out there and they just haven't cut it. There is one brand of flip flops I can wear, and one brand of nursing shoes that I can wear but they only make clogs and I can't keep them on/trip over them when I am having nerve issues and can't wear them in the winter, and I have my old lace up cowboy boots that are about to die, and of course sneakers with my orthotics. However, I haven't been able to find a pair on non-athletic sneakers, or any other shoes or boots I could wear this winter.</p> <p>Do you ladies have any recommendations? </p>
