PowerStep Pinnacle Maxx Orthotic Insoles Maximum Stability Comfort Firm Flexible Angled Heel Style to Help Flat Feet Overpronation

These are great for high arches (although there is now a version specifically for high arches which I also wear). These were recommended to me some years back at a specialty shoe store by their pedorthist. I have tried others, mostly to save a little money, but keep coming back to these. They really are quite comfortable and supportive. I wear them in my running shoes as well as my regular footwear. These are not your drug store insoles. If you're having foot pain, knee pain, or back pain and are on your feet all day, chances are these will help. If you have existing shoes, just know that these will take up space (like any full insole) and likely make your shoes feel too small. Best to have a new pair of these to use when trying on shoes and will likely need to size up a half or whole size. I find that I size up some depending on the brand and type of shoe, and also that I buy wide shoes just for the wider toe box to prevent foot issues from squeezy toes. Read more

It's been tough reading through all of these reviews trying to make a solid choice for insoles. I had my 8th spinal surgery in April. I awoke with neuropathy so bad I couldn't walk. A high arch developed after two months post surgery. Doctors had nothing to help me and my condition was determined to be permanent. So I got to work. Supplements, pushing through the pain. I walked and walked and worked on projects even though I was almost totally disabled. Seven months later and I was just able to hunt. But, before I went my attention turned to insoles for relief. Could they make a difference in my pain and could I even be comfortable. The journey started. I've now bought; Birkenstock's, Power Step Pinnacle Maxx, Sof Soles Fit, Sole DK Response, Sole Softec Ultra, Forms, New Balance Stability and a couple of others that I don't remember. In order of relief (for me); 1: Birkenstock Heeled Arch Supports (3/4 length). If you have a high arch as I do don't miss looking at these. They have superior support for the arch, heel (deepest heel cup) and metatarsal support is built right into the insole. They're especially useful in footwear without insoles. They work flawlessly in my Danner Rainforest hunting boots. Couldn't get any of the others to work in them. These can feel hard after a long day on them. Still, their fit is so worth it. 2: Power Step Pinnacle Maxx. Put these in my Danner Radical 452 and it was a perfect match. I had to buy 2 sizes bigger to make sure my arch matched the Maxx's. I also wear these in my Clark's, Ahnu's, Merrill Jungle Mocs, Ecco's and MBT's. The Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx, overall, are my number one choice. Major relief from pain. Wonderful support and great cushioning. 3: Sole Softec Ultra. Probably the best built of all of the insoles I've tried. No doubt, they'll last a long time. Not using these yet because I ordered my shoe size...wrong! I tried them in my proper size and the arches didn't line up. They were very uncomfortable. I'm awaiting a shipment two sizes larger than my shoe size. Then we'll see. For now my impression is they're not supportive enough. The heel and arch are made of a semi rigid EVA material. The only way they'll work is if I attach something under the arch to prop it up. The heat molding does little good if they're not high enough in the first place or if you need a more rigid support which I do. Well made but, so far, they don't work for me. This holds true for the DK Response too. 4: Solf Sole Fit. Good firm arch support but the forward part of the insoles is a soft EVA foam only that, I believe will breakdown quickly. Already is for my wife in just several weeks. 5: New Balance Stability. Everything was wrong about these for my feet. Not enough support in the heel or arch. The heel cup was thick yet not deep so they took up too much space in my shoes. They had a metatarsal pad built in but, for me, in the wrong place. 6: Forms. They fit quite well, had a sturdy arch and heel cup but are surprisingly thick. Very well made though. Needed two sizes larger to get the arch to align. Opted not to go ahead with these when i found the Power Step Maxx. I'll be settling with the Power Step Pinnacle Maxx and the Birkenstock's. I also purchased the Power Step metatarsal pads and they too made a nice difference in the Maxx's. They're small but let me tell you, with proper positioning, they can have a very positive affect on how your feet feel. Good luck in your search. Don't be afraid to ignore the sizes and fit the insole to your arch. You may have to trim them but for me it was the difference between great relief or none at all. Read more

INSTANT RELIEF AND SUPPORT!! Immediately felt more aligned and supported when standing and walking. Helped relieve back and hip pain. Really aligns feet and ankles…..aligns you straight up to the leg, hips, back, neck. Read more

These are pretty amazing and fit in all of my shoes. Even my hey dudes when I take out the original insoles. These were recommended by my doctor to help with my Tarsal tunnel syndrome. I still have the pain, however, it is not as bad as going without these! Read more

I overpronate and have had foot surgery on both feet. It's a lifetime of struggle and I think these are fantastic insoles. I can't always afford the good supportive shoes and these make regular sneakers SO stable and supportive. They are easy to switch between shoes! These feel very good on my feet, which helps my knees and my back. 5+ stars! I highly recommend! Read more

These are excellent insoles, although it took some time for my feet to adjust to them. I am thankful others suggested allowing time to gradually get used to these insoles, and to wear them for a few hours a day at first. It probably took a few weeks before I could say they are the right insole to help with my pain. I have Achilles tendinitis along with occasional arch pain, especially when not wearing a good insole. The women’s size 7-7.5 fit perfect in my Hoka 7D shoe. My husband has plantar fasciitis. These insoles are working very well for both of us. Read more

I got these to help with a bad work boot choice. They are pretty comfortable but the arches were a little high for me. Most of my day is spent in an office with about 20% out on the shop floor, so not that much walking, but some. After about a year they are completely falling apart. The foam is breaking down and there are now holes all the way through to the original boot. They were already expensive, and now they seem to have doubled in price. Not sure I will be buying more of these. Read more

Will definitely be buying these and replacing as needed over the years. A someone who has had ankle spurs and very fallen arches and chronic pain since preteen years, these are valuable at a great price. Read more
