Great piece

My review concerns an application for which these inserts were not specifically designed for. No heel cup and no extra cushioning in the toe area. And rigid plastic, metal, or carbon shells will dig into your foot and cause pain if the fit is not spot-on (which is unlikely for an over-the-counter product).The Step is sold in a decision of two colors: tan and black. I covered a portion of the insole with the plush portion. See further comment below. My left foot has some semblance of an arch; my suitable arch is completely fallen.The major flaw in the Pedag inserts is their method of attachment (my reason for knocking off one star). There is a another change between the tan and the black models, besides the obvious difference in hue. A shopper rep named Rose (who also tracks these Dropy reviews) told me that the tan leather is sheepskin. But no matter, the adhesive won't hold effectively to an insole anyway and doesn't allow for repositioning.My solution is Velcro tape. I later got the Step in black, in the extra-large dimensions. This review also covers three Pedag products that I bought. The Velcro allowed me to move the insert around to find the best position. The Pedag cost point (~$10 -13) allowed me to do that.The Step is sold as a symmetrical pair (the left-foot insert and the appropriate-foot insert are identical). Unless you remove the liner incredibly carefully, you will also pull the film off the rubber; the film then sticks tightly to itself and is useless. For my regular shoes, I have a pair of prescription full-length orthotics. So you simply need to try them out. But it also grips the insert firmly in place. I wear a US 9D men's street shoe. Just trace the outline of the insert on the insole, so you know what the proper position is the next time you use them. I'm sure Pedag did marketing research and decided there was a market need for two colors, but I don't see why. I'm posting the same review under the three separate Pedag products.I have flat feet. A full-length orthotic usually also doesn't work, because the toe box of most figure skating boots is tightly fitted, and a full-length orthotic would cause toe cramping. If you share the same inserts among different pairs of boots or shoes, Velcro is also the way to go. But for some people, they may be an effective, and relatively inexpensive, solution. So there you have that interesting tidbit.I first bought the Step and the Balance in tan. They are local arch supports only. It's demanding to know in advance whether any over-the-counter solution will work. In figure skating, flat feet create a major problem because your ankles fall over to the inside edges of the blades, and you have inadequate edge control. Since pigskin is stronger than sheepskin, the pigskin can be made thinner, but be just as durable as the thicker sheepskin. Each foot and each boot are different. The plush portion of Velcro on the insole does not interfere with normal wear should you choose not to employ the insert.My results:(a) With the Riedell Royals, the Step was too high and caused pain in my arches. These can't be employed in figure skating boots, yet, due to the fact a figure skating boot has a built-in narrow heel cup to grasp the heel of the foot firmly, essential in figure skating. Foam and gel are too mushy for figure skating utilize. Buying the Balance may be a problem if your left foot and appropriate foot need distinct degrees of correction. Following the Pedag measurements charts, I bought the large size. Velcro tape comes in two mating portions: a supple, felt-enjoy portion and a hard, bristle-appreciate portion. I removed the adhesive film from the insert and covered the rubber face with the hard portion. They have a good combination of resiliency and rigidity. Some boots (such as my old Riedell Royals) have a substantial built-in arch support; others (such as my new Jackson Elites) have no built-in arch support at all.Orthotics for regular shoes usually depend on a heel cup to maintain proper alignment of the orthotic to the foot. A working solution is no insert in my left boot and a Balance in m The adhesive film is covered with a liner sheet. The adhesive is very delicate and does not adhere effectively to the rubber. Sheepskin doesn't take dye adequately, so the black leather is pigskin. They come with a double-sided adhesive film stuck onto the lower rubber face. I genuinely didn't want the black, but Dropy was out of stock in tan, extra-sizable. The tan leather is noticeably thicker than the black leather. The Balance has a considerably lower height than the Step.These inserts are fabricated from rubber, and the top is covered with leather. So the Pedag "Step" and "Balance" arch support inserts are worth a try. I figure skate, and my orthotics are not suitable for use with figure skating boots. I wrote to Pedag shopper support. The heel cup of the orthotic would interfere with the heel cup of the figure skating boot. The Balance is sold as an asy...

These arch support inserts really do the trick. I wear them around the house, and they really help to take the pressure off my arches and remove some of the pain. I also like that they are reusable and I can wear them with any shoe I like (without having to buy a special insert for that specific shoe). Affordable, too!
