These are amazing. I have plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and heel spurs. I was also having pain in my knee. Within 2 days of wearing them my foot stopped hurting and my knee pain went away. They support my arches and are so comfortable. They are worth the price. I need to buy more so I don’t have to keep taking them out and putting them in my other shoes. Read more
The orthotic inserts are very comfortable. They fit perfectly inside my shoes. I feel that I can walk much further now that I have these inserts. Read more
This is an excellent product for anyone with plantar fasciitis. I went to a podiatrist who had me get custom orthotic insoles made from a casting of my foot, and they didn't do much for me. Yet this Pinnacle Power Max insoles product did work and worked 10 times as effective as what our medical care system came up with. They hold your feet and arches in their proper position with resilient support yet have just the right amount of give to have that bounce in your step again. I recommend buying a pair for every pair of shoes you own. Depending on how the shoes are made you might need to put a small adhesive shim under them on the mid arch to back of heal on the inner side--especially shoes that do not provide jack for support by themselves. The key is to really look at how your feet tilt inward or outward with each pair of shoes and get these insoles shimmed if necessary on specific shoes so that your feet remain in the proper tilt angle so that your arches are at the same consistent angle laterally across all pairs of shoes you own. You might want to bring these and all your shoes to your podiatrist and have him assist you in determining where the proper alignment is. I am confident these insoles are the best tool to get you there but again, each pair of shoes is different so you need to get them all positioned right. It will make such a world of difference once your body weight is resting upon properly aligned feet and arche supports uniformly applied across all pairs of shoes. The tendons from beneath your ankle reaching straight down on either side will thank you once you get it so the weight is evenly distributed and you are not stretching one tending and compressing the other in one pair of shoes while doing the opposite in another pair. I also find that having slippers that have a back behind the heal so that insoles like these can be held in place even when loafing around the houses also does wonders for having your feet ready for the work day tomorrow. This insole product is without a doubt far better than custom orthotics that are hundreds of dollars, sometimes thousands. Read more
These are pretty decent "orthotics". For someone with problem feet (PF, and bone spurs), I need good shoe inserts. I do have orthotics made by a podiatrist but need to go back and update them. I've been using these and a few others until I get in for new ones. These do pretty well overall and put arch support in that I desperately need. They are breathable and don't add lots of bulk to a shoe. I do have another brand I prefer though that seems to offer slightly more support, although most would find these adequate. Comfortable and easy to slide into your shoe. Price was around 25 which I'm happy to pay if it offers enough arch support and added comfort. Read more
Exactly what the doctor recommended and exactly what I needed! What a relief to put these inserts into my shoes. Several months after surgery to remove a bone tumor and bone spur, I was still experiencing some pain in my footbed. I was initially skeptical but followed recommendations. After putting these inserts into my shoes, the pain was GONE...immediately! They worked great to reposition the pressure and therefore relieve the pain. I am so pleased with these inserts. I removed the original footbed in my shoes to place the inserts in. They are true to size and fit my shoes perfectly. Read more
These insoles were prescribed to me by my podiatrist. As in, I left the appointment with a handwritten sheet of paper telling me to buy these specific insoles and one of three brands of shoes. My feet don’t have arches. They just squish. If I stand barefoot on a smooth floor, I sometimes get a suction cup effect. This was causing a lot of ankle and knee pain. These insoles force my feet to have arches, and now I have a lot less ankle pain. I can wear them all day without problems. They last about a year, then it’s recommended you buy new ones. They are fairly stiff on the toe to heel direction so they are easy to put in shoes. They are shaped for athletic shoes or maybe men’s style dress shoes. I would ask a doctor before getting these insoles; however, if you have really flat feet, it is worth trying them. Read more
These insoles seem well constructed with excellent arch support. However, they do not work in any of my shoes, even my clunkiest trail shoes, because they are too thick. If only insoles would thin out a little for the forefoot area! They are also relatively stiff...if you like that firm support, then these will be great for you. My older feet now prefer something with more give. Read more
Took me about 2 weeks to break these in. The first week it was hell but I noticed a difference each time I wore them. They are definitely worth it. A lil pricey but your feet is your foundation. That’s an investment, not an expense. True to size. Foot pain has diminished. Looking forward to buying more. Read more
