| Shifting insoles
The insole in my left (back) shoe keeps shifting right. I'm trying to put it back in place, but after 5-10 lunges this part of the insole, that is right under toes, moves about 2cm to the right.
Is there something I can spray on the insole and inside of the shoe to increase the friction between them? I don't really want to glue it shut in place... |

| How about a couple strips of two-sided tape? | |

| Sounds like maybe it doesn't fit all that well. Is it the original insole, or a replacement? You might try a replacement insole, maybe a little thicker or a little wider. HDG's suggestion of two-sided tape might is another possible solution. | |

| It is original insole. I'd try double-sided tape first, thank you for advice! | |

| The other thing you could do is get some spray adhesive and use that. Try 3M 77. This way you don't have the edges of the tape creating uneven surfaces that could irritate your feet and cause blisters or caluses.

Generally, though, when you get to the point that they are worn out, so is the shoe. But you can pull it up and scrape the bits out that stick.

| I had that problem with one of my pairs of fencing shoes and used rubber cement to fix the insoles in place. They stick pretty well for fencing, but with rubber cement should be removable if I pull very firmly (especially if warm). | |

| Shoe Goop works great. Just tack it down with goop in a few places. You'll have to heat it up and maybe cut it with a razor to remove them. It's a little thicker than rubber cement. | |

| yeah I replace all the insoles on my fencing shoes: I use Dr. Scholls sports gel insoles, they dont slide and provide way more cushioning | |

| The insole of my back foot NyLings had the same problem. I grabbed the first water proof stickum stuff I could find in our kitchen "junk drawer" . it was silicon cement/caulk and I haven't had a problem since. | |
