I absolutely love these. At first I thought the price was pretty steep for some shoe inserts, but when I wore them in a pair of pointy toed high heels at a wedding all day, I realized they were making a huge difference. The only warning I have is to be careful not to cut too much away - I trimmed them too much because I thought they were not fitting properly in the pointy toed shoes, but I over-trimmed it and then my toe hung over the edge and went numb after being squished in there for hours (this is the shoe and my fat toes' fault, not the inserts). These would be great replacement inserts for flats or any other shoes, and they're soft enough to wear without stockings/socks (they are a terry cloth type material).

They are quite soft and comfortable. Cutting to the right size was easy. Please be aware that they are not thin, as some describe it. If your shoe isn't snug, then no issue. But otherwise it might get too tight. The thickness is 1/8 inch (new).

I got these in black. The only reason they do not get 5 stars is the Foot Petal "logo" which is in white, is slowly coming off and not in a good way. I've only used them 3 times and they already look pretty grungy. I'll try and wash them to help speed things along. Wish they would just come off completely. Would be better if they logo was either someplace else or not at all. The product itself is as claimed. Keeps hot, sweaty feet at bay.

I am really happy I bought these. I never wear socks with my flats & loafers (I prefer the no sock look), so I really needed something to help extend the life of my shoes and keep my feet from getting grody. These foot petals do just that, plus provide enough cushion to keep my shoes comfortable for longer days. I already bought a second pair so I'm never without!

I can't believe these relatively expensive insole inserts fell apart after one machine washing, with the inserts placed in a mesh bag and the washer on the delicate setting! The velour top completely peeled off both inserts. Now they cannot be worn sockless. And isn't that the point?
I had incredibly high hopes for this product and I'm extremely disappointed. I wore them four times before they disintegrated.

incredible insoles for the comfort and protection of your feet. I like to use them for my sneakers, it provides cushioning, my feet feels so fresh and dry, you can trim to fit your size and you can feel free to use your closed toe shoes without socks (it has odor control) It truly works on me.

I really love these washable insoles for my flats that I hate to wear socks with. They give a little cushion and a nice fabric feel and keep my shoes looking (and smelling) better longer.

I initially thought that the price was pretty steep for these as compared to what you can get locally. But after I had run through several pair of the cheap ones, I bit the bullet and ordered these. They are SO worth the extra money! I have washed them several times already. Even put them through the dryer accidentally a few times, too, but they even stood up to that. They keep all my shoes fresh and ordor-free. Be sure to not over-trim them, as one reviewer warned. And they do require a little room in your shoe, but that little bit of thickness makes your shoes more comfortable, too. Best money spent, EVER!

The very thing that I was hoping for - comfort. And Microban anti-microbial protection to boot? This works for me! I am not particularly colorful with my shoes because I want them to go with as many things as they can. That being said, I do like the splash of color when I take my shoes off. I wear a size 11 in many shoes and these only goes to size 10. Still, that does not seem to be a problem for me when I wear these inside those bigger shoes. Yes, the writing on the insoles rubs off quickly, but I think that is a good thing. I am not enamored of wearing advertisements.

Nice supportive pad! When my shoes have stretched out and are slipping off my heel, I try to find a thin pad to tighten them up. These are really a bit too thick for that in ladylike shoes, but I’m making do. I wish I could find a thinner pad.
This was my first time in forever cutting a shoe pad to fit a shoe. With one practice I’m quickly becoming a pro. That said, I did need to use thought and caution. Reading the other reviewers’ tips helped.
You can try out the pad in your shoe even when it’s way too big, because it’s squishy and likes to fit itself into tight spaces. (But that will be a bit too bunchy to keep that way and walk around in.) I still recommend a little trimming so they fit in on their own.
I cut it roughly to size first by standing the shoe up on it and looking straight down. Once I’d cut off the bulk, I decided to remove the small extra more where it was making the toe box too snug. In general I left it a tiny bit too big to make sure it filled the seams properly, and that worked well for me.
The pad would be better with more lines for the smallest sizes to use as guides. If my foot was any smaller than a 7 all the lines would be cut off before I’m done trimming. The lines on the pad as cutting guides are very helpful.

These come in "one size" which you can cut down to your size. When I received the item, the box shows this fits shoe size 6-10. I am an 11, and these were too short for my shoes.

I kept them to put into snow boots that are a bit big on me, but that is about all I can use them for. They are a lot thicker than I thought they would be, which was surprising since I find most Foot Petals cushions to be too thin.

These didn't work well for me. I can only use them in one pair of flats that were fitting a bit large. They made the rest of my shoes feel too small. I had high hopes, but...

Well, I guess I get to be the opposing opinion...but these make my feet sweat as bad as the packaged inserts I bought at Target. The "dry moisture management system" is not working for me. Feet feel damp and clammy. I can't use these.

Another reviewer wrote that these are for shoe size up to Women's size 8. I concur. The item has lines for cutting smaller and there are markings for S. M. L. In a pair of Sorels that are size 8 but that are the same size as my Hoka Ones that are 7.5, I needed to cut the item to the M size to get it to fit, which was easy to do.
These are not orthotics and don't add arch support. I added them on top of my shoe's existing insole. The do add just a bit of cushioning and "filler" to a shoe if it's a bit loose. I haven't tried washing them yet, but this is a nice feature IMO.

I got this product from Influenster's Vox Box and I was so excited to try it! I put it in a pair of flats that I knew I would be wearing to several formal all day events this summer. I've already tackled Mother's Day in them and my heels feel good, my feet don't stink. They got a little sticky near the end, but I also sweat a lot so that might not be an issue for other users. I anticipate many more uses out of these insoles. I did snip down the sides of the insole so that it would fit in my shoe, but it's not meant to rise up around parts of my foot so I didn't think it was that big of a deal

So for these products you gotta make sure that they fit the size of your shoe. So you can cut them down to a medium or large. Which is amazing. They make my shoes not smell bad and I can rewash them. Also my Jordan's are super comfy too.

These are so comfortable and lightweight. They feel like you're walking on clouds, it's awesome! Not only that, but they also keep your feet from sweating. So that's always a plus! I received these for free, but I would definitely purchase them again!

These must be made for kids or tiny people as the cut lines are for small feet. Luckily I wear 9 mens' so they are barely big enough for me to use and otherwise are pretty good.

I ordered these on a whim and while they're pretty good, they do not compare to Pedag terrycloth insoles.
This material, while advertised as terrycloth and probably is, has an odd slip to it. Even when these insoles are totally dry, they feel as if they are a bit moist, which defeats the purpose of a terrycloth insole.
The quality seems decent, and I believe these are washable though I haven't tried yet. I'm afraid the pink may bleed.
Maybe I have sweatier feet than most people, but these just don't absorb as much as others similar insoles.
I'd also recommend:

I bought these so I could wear my shoes without socks. Not happy. My feet sweat with them if worn without socks. Not worth the price I paid for them!

The fabric of these feels like tennis balls. They don't seem to allow for ventilation so my feet get hot when using these. Like other reviewers, I agree that the thickness can cause difficulty in wearing with certain shoes. Definitely would not recommend.

I was so excited about this product, but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. The foot petals are substantially thick, so much so that when I slip them into my flats, my shoes no longer fit me. Even when I put them into a pair of shoes that was already a half-size too big, they were too tight. Since I already cut them to fit my feet, I can't return them and they will sadly be going in the trash.
