These are very small and seem firmer than Hapads
I've been using hapads, but since they are pretty expensive, I thought I would try these. Based on some product reviews here I went against my instinct to buy medium and bought the small. I wear size 8 1/2-9 shoes.<br /><br />Since the product info doesn't tell us the actual size of these, I'll do it here (I'll put my Hapad dimensions in parentheses for comparison so you can check these relative to whatever you are using now):<br /><br />Approx length: 2" (hapad: 2 3/8)<br />Approx width: 1 3/8" (hapad: 2")<br />Approx depth at center: 1/4" (hapad 3/8")<br /><br />The good news is that I can wear these on top of the insoles that came with my shoes. Then when I put the extra cushion insoles I use in my athletic shoes on top, the insoles make it a little higher and bigger. With hapads I had to use the pad on the top of the extra insoles because it would have been to high with them over it, but putting my foot in and out tended to catch on the hapads and wrinkle up the insoles to the point of worthlessness. Then when I went to replace the insoles, I couldn't get the hapads off...ack!<br /><br />I think the extra firmness might  not be so much from the pads being stiffer, but from the fact that the highest point is closer to the front of my shoe than a comparably-placed hapad. I tried moving the pad farther back, but that didn't give enough support.
