I received Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles free from Bzzagent. It was just the right time, as a pair of heels I love were really starting to hurt my feet. The heels have an adiPRENE insole, which is made by Adidas. When I bought them, the insole was comfortable. However, the shoes were getting older and it seemed the insole was wearing out. I was afraid I would have to stop wearing them, even though the rest of the shoe was in good condition. This gave a perfect opportunity for me to try this product.
I had always assumed insoles were for close-toed shoes, so this was a fun fact for me. Instead of sliding into the shoe like insoles I have had before, I just peeled a backing and then stuck them on the shoe. Well, I had two problems with this, one related to the other. The first time I stuck the insole on, I did not have the arch support lined up quite right. Therefore, I had to take it off and line it up again, otherwise it was terribly uncomfortable. They did not stick very well the second time. I wore these insoles to work, and as the day wore on they started to slide right out of my shoe. Also, when I restuck them, they no longer bothered my heel, but bothered my toes instead. I like to wiggle my toes during the day, but every time I did it today, the insole would come up, since it was right at my toe line.
There is a reason insoles are normally for shoes with a full back and front. It is so they do not slide out of the shoe and you can make them the size of the entire shoe, so it doesn't bother your toes.
To improve this product, I would recommend having something that could be applied again and again, maybe like Velcro. This would eliminate the sliding and the problem with reapplying. Also, maybe a different color than clear. After one use for about half a day, I felt they were rather dirty.
Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing this product again. However, this does not deter me from purchasing other Dr. Scholl's products, which I know work well.
