Customer Reviews Foot Petals Sock-Free Saviors

I'm in love with these! I put them in my boat shoes and they save me from the sticky sweaty feet that shoes like those create. I'm looking forward to trying them in my Uggs this fall.

I bought these for a favorite pair of ballet flats - I had practically worn out the insole, but the rest of the shoe was like new. These Foot-Petals are easy to cut to size, stay in place and are very comfortable. As with all insoles they take up some space, so if your shoe is already a snug fit, they will not work. Great for mine, because my shoe had stretched a little anyway!

These foot petals work really well. Their thinness does not belie the support they offer. I ordered two more pair. I will be putting them in my boots as well as dress shoes and sneakers. You cut them to the size of your shoe and then just slip them in. I highly recommend them. It is great to be able to where a shoe without socks in the summertime.

Very comfortable and eases pain and fatigue throughout the day. The shape of the insole was perfect and allowed for easy trimming when necessary. The PORON material has good shock aborption without being too heavy and weighing down shoes. I really wish they had made these in solid black with no logo on the foot bed. They could just put their logo on the bottom if desired. Overall, these are fantastic and I have been replacing all my shoe insoles with these. Love them!

Easy to cut to size! Make sure your scissors are nice and sharp. I must have lucked out because the first time I sized these (I cut them on the middle line for my size nines) they were a perfect fit, since then I have used the first pair to size. I like the pink, personal preference....a girly thing. They do use up some space so I can only use them in my larger flats but they do make the shoes more comfortable because I tend to walk hard on my heels and this is a great cushion. I have several pair now and about once a month I throw them in the wash with my other laundry and they come out looking like new. These do have better cushioning than Scholls but they are more than double the price. My only negative is that these are so expensive, I still buy the Scholls and use them in my shoes that won't take the extra thickness. I won't wear my shoes barefoot, I hate it when my feet get "sticky" in my shoes and I think that any liner will preserve your shoes longer thus stretching your dollar a bit.

Served intended purpose for sneakers without wearing socks

I bought these on a whim a while back then forgot to use them. After a recent rediscovery, I’m ordering more, but for specific uses. First, this is a great product for being antimicrobial and machine washable (don’t dry!), though I haven’t needed to wash them yet. These is no arch support in these, just so that’s clear, in case it matters for your needs. I’m using my 1st pair of these for Roxy cotton ‘boat’ shoes that I’d previously worn barefoot and have washed. If you’ve tried the brand, you know that it’s pretty flat with no cushion. Comfort wise, the insoles really do add to the cushioning (where there was none before!) but the shoes are a tad tighter on me in the toe box, due to the 1/4” (roughly - maybe less) height of this insole. Depending on your foot & shoe, this may or may not matter. Because I could peel the cotton liner of the sole off my older shoes to measure and cut these to size, it wasn’t too difficult. Being on the safe side, I cut a little bigger than my template, tried the fit, then did some tweaking. The new insoles I’m buying are for a certain washable, recycled shoe with a flat removable insole (only sold direct from company, name starts with ‘R’), so I can take that insole as a template, too. If you have a closed shoe without anything you can remove to ‘template’ this, it might be kinda challenging unless you go slow with patience. At the very least, start with the sole of your shoe before you cut farther! Also, as an 8.5 I didn’t need to trim much from some parts of this. If you’re larger than my size, you might not find these give you full width coverage across the entire shoe, but every shoe is so different! Bottom line on sizing & cutting these: Make sure you do it according to the shoe, not just according to the company’s markings! While these also come in a cute pink, I like the way that the black is really unobtrusive when shoes come off. I’ll bet it would hide possible staining better than the pink, too, but that pop of pink might might be perfect in some shoes for some people! I rated these a 4 for comfort and overall, because there are more comfortable options out there (though often more space is needed) and cutting to size might be a challenge with some shoes. But, if you need a little extra layer of love for the shoes you love, or you just want a microbial & washable insole, these are a great choice!
