To date, these scholls have been the most comfortable wedge I have used. Not sure where I discovered it, but this is great video!!

I came across your video about 8 months ago went out and picked up the gel pads came home and installed.. been wearing everyday since with comfort! Thanks for sharing this great idea!!!

This video literally has changed my entire concealed carry life. Adding a wedge was the best thing I could’ve done for myself, but it still wasn’t perfect. Saw this video, figured I’d try it cuz at worst, it like $7 down the drain, no big deal. But I did NOT realize how comfortable and how incredibly well this technique works. I even doubled up a couple of these heel inserts to make a slightly bigger wedge and it’s allowed me to carry some guns I’ve never been able to carry before not only due to how uncomfortable it was, but also because I couldn’t get them to conceal well enough.
Thank you for putting this out there; this video has made carrying fun for me again! AND is super comfortable again, too!!

You kinda sound like Owen Wilson. Please say wow in your next video.

As a bigger guy who gets bruises at my waist at 3:00 every time I wear my IWB holster for any period of time, I'm excited to try this hack! My Vedder Lighttuck is as adjustable as it gets. It's my body type that's causing the problem. Ordered the needed from Amazon and should be here today.

Update: Yes, it's a vast improvement! It also has the added benefit of canting the holster out a bit and preventing my skin from getting pinched when re-holstering. I'll have a better assessment after wearing it for 8 hours, but this feels like it will work.

Kept searching for your follow up video but couldn't find it. So, I just finished attaching my Dr Scholls to my Glock 19, IWB appendix carry, kydex holster, which uses Ulticlip, made by HolsterCo LLC. Your hack works perfectly. It is easy to install and provides about 1/4" to 3/8 "adjustment. In other words it pushes the the handle of the pistol into my belly. Wife says I no longer have an excuse to wear only black T-shirts. It was a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

How did it take you 9 minutes to explain installing self-adhesive velcro tape?

[JoeBuys]

Tried it and my initial feeling is that my holster is more comfortable and conceals a little better. This is an awesome DIY, thank you for taking the time. I also ordered some Tier 1 wedges to see how those fit.

I've been carrying everyday for 3 years. Thought I'd try out this holster and it is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever tried. Your idea has def helped. I only switched because I have been using a soft holster and a guy on YouTube shot himself leaning over.

almost been a year with no update. Any update to this vid like you said you would do.

I tried the wedge hack. It feels like I need a bigger wedge.

It does help greatly with the gun pressing into my pelvis (it was a hotspot), however it feels as if it's not helping enough in tucking the grip into my abdomen.

I may try stacking the two wedges on top of each other.

I'm using a Crossbreek "The Reckoning" holster with claw. The holster backing is (cow) leather, but I was able to get the velcro to stick (used tape to the leather to make a smooth surface for velcro adhesion).

Hey thanks for the video, that’s a great idea. It is too bad though why holsters manufacturers don’t consider these types of issues before production.

Amen brother. I just got my T. rex holster and I wore it today and that is exactly where it was lighting my ass up. Thanks for the info. I’m heading to Walmart now. I have to place mine more by the muzzle tip.

[ytbenavraham]

This is a great idea. I have put them on my AIWB. Along with several wedges. I'm going to change holsters from We the people to Tier One

Been using this holster for a year now and it’s good for me. Not always, but i definitely recommend one. I needed a cushion due to a scar and I wear it without skivvies(Arizona). I used a section of wetsuit(8654 tactical...ha) for the pad.
Don’t use it when you go to the dentist.

Nice way to improvise a Keepers Holster, btw... a hair dryer helps with velcro adhesion (like with Talon grips) it has worked well with my Crossbreed for about six months now... even with the tactical muffin top.

Sir - I just finished my setup - this is perfect! Thank you for the instructions

[darkstarunderground]

This is perfect. Much better than an overpriced comfort pad from clinger or sticky.

[johnl.]

Great idea. I was just complaining the other day how much my appendix holster was bugging me in that area. I have to try that out. Thanks.

[jakeypewz]

this just gave me a great idea of how to use this as a sweat guard for the right rear portion of the slide on my EDC. Great vid!
