Instructions seem clear until I notice the tapered edges. Now what?
So I'm familiar with my foot type now. I think so? But I've not seen this type of support at toes or metatarsals. At best, I follow the guided outlines. But I got nowhere trying to comprehend what to do with the tapered edges so I guessed. Best guess? Too awkward at edges near toes and metatarsals to put anything. So my guess is, I don't need this extra support or the shoe has some support there already. I did try using the etched guides, flipping tapered edges. Then restored to trimming to find a better fit. Nothing was comfortable so only going with the heel support wedge.<br /><br />I think I got the heel right so I'll go with that. There appears to be a square support in the heel already. But looking at the rigidness of the orange square and surrounding shell around the heel, this isn't meant to be removed but standing or heel impact will collapse this cushioning level with the hardened shell. So the contoured stick-on will go on this squared orange material rather than cutout around it. I hope that makes sense. But if not, know that I tried to remove the existing square cushion but it's securely attached. It cannot be removed without destroying the heel support. It easily compresses flush with the hardened shell.<br /><br />So I've settled on my fitting. Kind of narrow around the toes at widest point. Arch support isn't very high, if needed. This might be ok but I decided to just use it on an old shoe that I had discarded the original sock liner in favor of the custom fitted insert. The custom fitted insert eventually failed to provide enough heel and arch support after years of serviceability so I needed something. These were my favorite workout shoes until I lost needed support from the custom insert. May be time to just retire the old shoes but I'll give it a go at least.
