Anyone try those heel cushions for sneakers?

I just bought a pair of sneakers that are a half inch too big. Then the size down is too tight ughh..so my option is to get those heel cushions that go at the back of a shoe to provide the right fit. I've never had them, do they feel ok or comfortable?

As a man, when shoes are a little looser than I like, I usually buy comfort inserts to make them a little more snug.

@calicuz Do they stay attached to the shoe or you have to insert each time?

@Coralmist

They stay in the shoe, on thd bottom.

Yep that's the first thing I do, is to try insoles. As a man. Respectively.
Just remember to take the factory insoles out, before you try the fit.
They have many different sizes and thicknesses.
Obviously you'll probably get the women's. Unless you got the size feet of Brittney Griner.
Don't cut to much off on your first go of it. Then you're Boned!

@calicuz Thanks. Are they comfortable for the most part?

Levenrack · 46-50, M

@Coralmist typically yes, but to each there own. I've worn both Red Wing's and Irish Setter's (same company) work boots, and stayed with their factory ones.

In the other hand, I've worn Cat's and Timberland's and had hard break in periods, went aftermarket on those.

Yes, you don't even know they're there.
