Spenco Total Support Max Shoe Insoles(FSA&HSA Eligible)Orthotic Metatarsal Arch Support Inserts, Absorbs Shock,Reduces Over-Pronation,Conforms to Foot Contours, Deep Heel Cup Women's 7-8.5/Men's 6-7.5

I have flat feet and severely overpronate. I have worn custom orthotics for about 10 years but as I got more athletic and fit those orthotics wit the style made stopped working. I was actually in more pain when wearing the orthotics than barefoot. I lost a lot of weight and am more fit that I have ever been., Went to a new podiatrist who automatically talked me into getting her $400 custom orthotics and she wanted me in the Brooks Beast. In no way would listen that I was not comfortable at all. So got a refund and off to an orthopedic surgeon who finally had answers and #1 for him was Spenco Total Support Insoles. I wear a neutral New Balance running shoe and he said the problem had been I had been buying shoes to fit the orthotic and it should be the other way around. The moment I stood on these insoles in his office I felt support and comfort. We trimmed them to size and my feet have been granted a new life. I get such support, stability and comfort from these orthotics. Honestly better than I ever got from custom orthotics. It is important to note these are not orthotics to be worn just for comfort. They are strong, durable and rigid meant to provide that needed support for the overpronator. There is rigid arch support with a deep heel cup that has a ton of cushioning. When I started wearing these I felt so great I exercized and walked ant least 5 miles a day for a week and overdid it. Needed a short break before easing back in. With any new orthotic you must give them a break in period. And as I said I get more support and comfort with these than with $400 custom orthotics. Another note, when I first wore these they squeaked which I read was a common thing with new orthotics. I put some moleskin under the heel which silenced it some but they just needed to be worn in and now the squeak is fully gone. I am rather stunned at what a high end product these are and also how durable. I have been suffering with pain for no one would help me get the correct orthotic and understand what I truly need. Till this doctor. Finally no more pain and no more buying product after product to try. But remember don't overdo at first and ease into these. These are very structured with a lot of support. But they will help. Let your feet and body adjust. I can't recommend them enough.

Like many other reviewers, I'm battling PF, but only in my left foot. I got PF as a running / aging issue back in May and over the past several months, I've tried lot of insoles. If you have a new case of PF, I would strongly recommend you see your doctor or podiatrist for both advice on how to minimize the injury, start recovery, and hopefully work back to normal. I'm in the 'try to get back to normal' phase now. The best arch supports I have came from the good feet store, but were way over priced. I've been those expensive supports around from shoe to shoe and I tried these looking for a lower cost set that felt good. These Spenco Total Support Max insoles worked very well for me. I need a pretty high arch support. My arch length is about a shoe size larger (11.5) than my actual foot length (10.5). Some of the other insoles I tried were not high enough. The Spenco ones were great and low cost. I think these are my go-to insole for multiple pairs of shoes while I battle PF. Here are the other things I tried: - Superfeet Green - Not bad, but not as high of an arch support as these Spenco's. Superfeet also cost at least 50% more. - Sof Sole Air Orthotic - Very low arch support. Didn't work for me at all. - Pedifix arch bandage - Not an insole, but a bandage to compress the arch. Worked a little, but not very good. - Custom heat molded insole from Road Runner sports. Also good, created a high arch support, but cost 2X the Spenco I'm pretty pain free now, but use insoles, and do lots of stretching. I'm not able to run without causing PF pain flare ups afterwards, but I hope with continued arch and leg exercises, I'll get back to that. One more thing...you might want to set a set of the spenco sandals or put arch supports in your slippers. Not walking barefoot, especially first thing out of bed in the morning really helped my PF issue.

Perfect

Vraiment impeccable avec une nouvelle paire de chaussures, je n'ai plus mal a la cheville. Je recommande

Got size 13 but was way too long for my size 13 shoes

Perfect arch support, which results in less pressure on my spine. I'm tall and skinny with long narrow feet that needs strong arch support. These ones do it better than any off the shelf ones I've tried from my local chemist.

Replaced a pair of worn out Superfeet with these, and I was very pleased with the results. For the first week or two, there was about a 10 minute "adjustment period" every time I put them on -- the arch area is higher than I am used to, so it took some time to get accustomed to it. After about a week, the additional support felt natural. Quality wise, the material used is great, and I was surprised by the amount of padding. Both the heel and mid toe area have an extra layer of cushioning compared to what I usually see with Superfeet, and the additional support and comfort is noticeable. Only downside is that since the arch support is so high and firm, I am not sure if I would use these insoles for extended running. For everyday walking, they're perfect. Overall, I definitely would say these are a fantastic insole addition.
