Dr Scholls Tri-Comfort Orthotics Inserts Mens Size 8-12 1-Pair Packages

I developed plantar fasciitis after training for and running in a marathon five years ago. At first, both feet were affected so I went to see a podiatrist who fitted me with rigid orthotics. That seemed to help but over the years, the rigidity of the orthotics actually made my PF come back. In January 2011, the PF came back affecting only my left foot. It was very painful taking that first step in the morning. I'm pretty active but do have a desk job and would hobble around most of the day to meetings. I've tried sleeping with a night splint which pretty much feels like wearing a snowboard boot to bed--not the most comfortable. I've also done stretching, icing, etc. but nothing seemed to work. I wanted to see what I could do prior to scheduling an appointment with the podiatrist. Just last week I purchased these Dr. Scholl's Tri-Comfort and also the Dr. Scholls Heel Pain inserts from a local store. The latter lessened the pain a little but not by much. However the TRI-COMFORT inserts practically made the PF in my left foot non-existent in a matter of THREE DAYS!! I was totally amazed! I'm walking normally now and not hobbling around in pain as I have been these past few months. I've since purchased the 3-pairs from Amazon and have put one in each of my shoes that I use most often. Yes, I can see why others complain of the industrial rubbery smell which the TRI-COMFORT does emit when you first open the package, but who the heck cares if they actually work and help you WALK! Being able to walk beats a bad smell in my book any day ;) Besides, after two weeks, the smell has dissipated... The only downer I experienced when I first used the TRI-COMFORT was my shoes were a bit snugger--at the top of the foot/shoe--since you are adding in extra cushion inside your shoes. However, I've fixed the problem by wearing nylons, or socks that aren't so thick. These might not work for everyone, but this is a great product that DEFINITELY worked wonders for me and my PF!

It’s really comfortable…support arch very well Read more

I am a size 8.5, and these fit fine in all of my shoes. The issue I find is that they do not perfectly fit my feet, but for this price I'm perfectly willing to overlook that. The biggest drawback is that they don't stay in one spot. Especially with my rubber rainboots, they slide around and generally don't fit well. Fair warning: there is NO support for toes! If that's what you're looking for, don't buy these. If you're going to be on your feet for a while and want some extra support, these are perfect. They are made of some kind of puffy plastic, which squishes well but still supports. There is a plastic support band in the bottom that keeps the arches of my feet from flattening, which causes me serious pain after a while, so I quite like these. Tried them in Vans sneakers and leather boots, and they work like a charm. Rain boots, not so much, but maybe I'll figure out a better deal for those. Overall, a very good purchase. Don't buy if you are on the larger extreme, because they won't fit your feet. On the other hand, don't buy if you are on the smallest extreme of shoe size (6) because they won't fit well in your shoes. Read more

I inserted these insoles into my flats and after walking around NYC all weekend (at times 8 miles in one day) the bottom of my feet still felt great (the rest of my body not so much but that's another story). Without these insoles in my cheap flats, my feet are usually ready to fall off. They are thin enough to not be bulky, yet provide great support. They also have a nice fabric surface and they stay put in the shoe. They are 3/4 so they don't slip all the way down to the toes. This is great so they don't hijack toe space. I'm glad I can wear cute flats for extended periods without killing my feet anymore. The price our feet already pay with heels, why should we settle for anything but comfy when we aren't wearing heels?!?! These are worth a try! Read more

Work and feel perfect for plantar fasciitis Read more

I highly recommend getting these inserts! With these in my shoes, I could walk all day without feeling any pain. I was on the fence about this product after reading some of the less than stellar reviews but I'm really glad I bought them. Here are some experiences I've had in response to some of the other reviewers' concerns: It's true that the inserts will move forward in your shoe because of their short length. I haven't found this to be a problem because I just place them all the way back into position right before I put my foot in each time. The insert will stay in place while you're wearing the shoes. It's also true that the arch might be a bit high. I have smaller than normal arches and I'll admit these inserts did pinch a bit at first. Sometimes, I felt like my foot was seesawing over the arch as I walked. But they eventually reshaped themselves and are perfect for my feet now. You just have to wear them. They had a strong rubbery smell at first but that went away quickly. Read more
