Too narrow & not long enough for proper fit inside 8 1/2M shoes
From the picture and description these leather inserts sounded ideal for the extra comfort I was looking for in my size 8 1/2M flats. However, after using once for less than a half hour, they were so uncomfortable I couldn't wait to remove them. The heel and instep are far too narrow to fit properly against the heel and inside edges of the shoe. I tried placing them in the center of my shoe, but it eliminated any arch support they might otherwise provide as it ends up under the foot versus along the arch where it should be. And placing them closer to the inside edge to support the arch creates a big gap between the outer edge of the insert and shoe's insole inside the shoe, and walking on the leather insert's edge feels more sharp plastic than nice soft leather as it should be. They would probably work great for someone with a small, narrow foot, but not wide or long enough for comfortable fit in women's size 7 and larger.
