PowerStep ProTech Control Orthotic Insoles - Medical Grade Arch Support Inserts for Plantar Fasciitis Relief- Made in USA

The Powerstep Protech was recommended to me by my Podiatrist and I concur with her that these fall into the elite category of insoles out there and I have tried so many as I have had a few foot problems over the years. These excel at stability with very firm arch support and flawless metatarsal support as well. With all this stiffness, they still are extremely comfortable so you get that great combination. The only downside for me, however, is that they have very limited cushioning. If you are using these in nice cushioning sneakers, this is not necessarily a negative as the sneaker does the cushioning. I like extra cushioning for long walks and hikes even with good cushioning sneakers so for that I use New Balance Motion Control insoles which are not quite as firm as Powersteps but cushion about a million times better on the heel and a billion times better on the forefoot. NB Motion Controls are a little thicker so especially for high instep people may not work in every shoe. Low volume feet people will have no problem with Motion Controls. If you want to put Powersteps in stiff hiking boots, realize how little cushioning there will be but if you are carrying weight, then maybe you want the maximum support that these provide. Also, for people who stand for long periods, Powersteps should absolutely be tried for their superior support and comfort. Can also be considered for bicycling if they fit in a close fitting shoe like that. For ultra thin insoles that work great in bicycling shoes, skates, dress/casual shoes, football cleats, ski boots, etc., consider the Pedag Viva (leather) or the Pedag Viva Winter (wool). Pedag are German designed and the #1 selling insoles in Germany so do you think they aren't good? The Superfeet ultra thin model is also worth considering as well as the Specialized innersoles sold in bicycle shops. Specialized has models for a variety of arch conditions and the shops are trained to fit you to the model you need so don't be concerned if you are not bicyclist as these are superior insoles for any sport or application for thin insoles.

My husbands orthopedic told him about these insoles several years ago. They have been a life saver for his original planter fasciitis. I started using them 3 years ago and they help my neuropathy and feet pain. We wouldn't go without them and we still walk 1 to 2.5 miles a day. They are defiantly worth the money if you have any type of foot pain! Better to have these than spend a fortune on shoes. Read more

I have flat feet. These insoles were recommended by my orthopedic surgeon in lieu of an uncomfortable plastic orthotic. Bottom line: they work. And they are WAY more comfortable than the plastic orthotics. Read more

Very useful with correcting your stance Read more

Pros: Love these, I have flat feet and these have saved my feet. I can walk forever, dance, and I use these in every shoe I can fit them in. Cons: they don’t fit in every shoe, I size up a half size to get these into shoes, but sometimes the shoe is too slender. They are expensive, and because I use them all the time, the “arch” in this product flattens over time and feet start to hurt. I have to replace these often, cost adds up. Overall: even with the cost, worth it, save my feet. Read more
