Why? Those things from the manufacturer seem to come in only two sizes 
anyway. How much would it cost to hang a couple from a hook?  If they 
have room for those plastic 'egg saver' things made by Coghlan...they 
have room for inserts. And, why couldn't the manufacturer just put an 
extra pair in the box with the boots to begin with?

Name brand or generic what? The question was 'why can't you buy the 
exact same insert'.  I don't want to order them from a podiatrist. I 
want the exact same thing that comes in the boot.
