Ever used gel inserts?

[smilie]

I was thinking about purchasing some inserts for my shoes for our trip. I was just wondering if anyone has ever used any while in Disney and which kind worked the best....

Yes. Be sure you wear them around at home first and get the feel of them. Don't ever want to try something new on the tootsies at Disney!!! They worked great for me.

I bought Dr. Scholl's Gel inserts.
They worked great for me.

This Oct everyone in our family got gel inserts. My son (age 11) really likes his.

I wore these in Dec. I put them inside my Land's End Summer Mocs. My feet always felt great.

Well, this is coming from a nurse and someone who is on her feet all day long. I did not notice any difference in the way my feet felt. I have really bad feet anyway but they really don't work for me.

I have shin splints from time to time. I wear Scholl's Advanced (I think that's what they're called) and love them. Worth a few problems if you have leg or lower back problems. Definitely wear them around a week or so before trip.

I bought them for WDW and they lasted for three days. We got caught in an absolute downppour waiting for Fantasmic...no where to go to be dry, walking in huge puddles. My inserts got soaked (along with my shoes) and lost all adhesive. I believe they were pitched in a garbage can somewhere between MGM Studios and the YC.

we got dr sholls last time and our feet felt good! make sure your shoes are large enough for them to fit into tho so they don't cause tight shoes...another good thing i found were walking socks ( socks made for walkers, unfortuantely they did not automatically propel me forward hehe)...they had extra cushioning and also wicked moisture. my feet felt lots better between the 2 ( also got walking shoes)

don't know the exact style i had, they are white( think i got them at Marc's, an off price store so maybe they were old) but they didn't have adhesive on the bottom they have little grippers and they still work good ( got them in jan of 04) although i don't wear those shoes alot( they're my "disney" shoes)

I use the dr scholls too to help with all the walking in WDW and they help me.
