Dd1 needs some to counteract her knackered knees and dodgy ankles.

just wondering how much room they are going to take up?

can i move them from shoe to shoe?

will they only fit inside certain types of shoes?

do your DCs hate them?

not much room.yes you can move them from shoe to shoe.they fit most shoes but not sandals.they can come in groovy colours and make a big difference.my dh wears them.i teach ballet and a few of my little dancers have them. 9not in their ballet shoes though.

I'm not an expert on orthotic insoles, but I am a footwear technologist, so have a bit of experience! Hush Puppies have an insole system in their shoes so you can adjust the fit. You may find that these work really well with orthotic insoles. Best of luck!

Ouch...you may struggle a bit as Hush Puppies are a bit funny when you get to larger sizes...it might be worth it for school shoes plus they spend more time in those than any other shoe!
Good luck with your persuasion powers!
