how to keep my insoles inside my shoes?

i got a new pair of shoes and the thin insole in the left shoe keeps coming out. As i run it slowly inches its way up behind my heel until it's high enough to rub my achilles. I'm then forced to take the shoe off and reposition the insole.

Except for this little glitch, the shoes are great- best I've ever had. I'll probably try gluing the insole. And failing that I'll just get rid of it altogether. But I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and what they did about it?

you may need to replace them with an off the shelf brand ...

me thinks poor Q&A with the shoe manufacturer, in that someone put in the wrong sized insoles .. :shock:

you could go back to the store and see what they could do to replace it with a proper set ...

I have custome orthotics, so I have literally, a stock of insoles somewhere ... size 8-8.5, if you need some, let me know .. :wink:

thanks for the kind offer, Andy, but I prefer NEW insoles. No offence...

Shortie, I'm not sure how I'll be able to use duct tape to solve this one, but I do admit that duct tape usually solves my blistering problems. Thanks for the tips guys

umm, they are all still brand new, or at least, unused

Just glue them in - Get some Shoe Glue (Goo), or even just a glue gun.

really?? for blisters?! never thought of that!
I saw a man at the death race who used duct tape as knee braces.
I should just wrap it around my chunky thighs to prevent chaffing... I like this idea

I have used two sided carpet tape to solve problem with sliding insoles. It works well for me.
