Walkomfy Pain Relief Orthotics, Plantar Fasciitis Arch Support Insoles Shoe Inserts for Maximum Support/All-Day Shock Absorption/Designed for Men and Women 29.5cm

I have high arches and suffer from Morton's Neuroma if I wear shoes without proper arch support. My podiatrist recommended an orthotic like this for me, and I purchased ones made by New Balance. I remember when I first got them, that they were a little uncomfortable to walk on (like you have a big rock in your shoe). My doctor said to take it slow at first with this type of orthotic and wear it for a few hours a day. Eventually you get to the point that you do not even realize that they are there (except that your neuroma inflammation no longer rears it's painful , ugly head). I got some new shoes recently, and wanted the same style orthotic. The New Balance one's are great, but they cost more than the shoes. I thought I would give this one a try, and I'm very happy to report that they work well, and appear to be just as good as the much more expensive New Balance orthotic. I've not had them long enough to comment on their durability, but they look to be of very good quality, and at this price point, even if they last 1/3 the time as my other orthotic, I will be money ahead. I noticed that the negative reviews all mention that the "bump" in the middle of the orthotic caused pain. I think that is just a normal part of the acclimation process for most people. If this is your first time with an orthotic like this, gradually build up the time you wear it, and soon you will not even notice the bump. I hope this review helps your decision making.

I bought these arch support insoles for walking after taking up a daily walking routine, around 12,000 steps a day. After a while, I started experiencing lower back pain and foot fatigue. Someone at the gym suggested trying orthotic insoles, so I went to the mall where they scanned my feet and recommended custom insoles… for over $100! No way. I searched Amazon for a more affordable option and found these plantar fasciitis insoles. I’m so glad I did. These shoe inserts for back pain provided the right arch and heel support, making walking much more bearable. I noticed less discomfort in my feet and back, and I’ve been waking up with noticeably less morning pain. They fit perfectly in my sneakers and gave me the kind of cushioning and foot support I didn’t even know I needed. I’ve used them in both casual shoes and running shoes, and they’ve held up great. If you're on your feet all day or getting back into a fitness routine, these insoles for standing all day are a game changer. Highly recommend for anyone looking for affordable shoe insoles for men and women.

I’ll start by saying Ive tried many different orthotic insert brands with claims they work/support as well as a custom orthotic for feet. I have not found that to be true of any of them nor frankly do I expect that. Like our bodies our feet are unique to each of us so I personally find my custom orthotics while very expensive are more effective at mitigating my foot pain. That said, I have now used these inserts in one of my hiking shoes for 3 hikes of 2.5-5 miles each. For a non custom orthotic these are one of the best Ive ever tried. I like many have suffered from plantar fasciitis and have tried many other brands with claims to treat that. I have bought several cheaper brands like RBX which are effective but disposable with short life spans. At under $10 though they do a nice job for say simple walkers or work shoes. These I put in my hiking shoes which endure much more rigorous exercise. I found while walking slower (maybe 2 mph and taking pictures) these as close to being as effective as my custom orthotics as I’ve ever tried. However, tonight I picked up the pace & walked closer to 4 MPH and the increased speed and pounding was noticed. Admittedly it is noticed in my custom orthotics as well but they are much firmer with stronger support. I like the metatarsal bubble on these inserts as my biggest pain points are usually forefoot & arch and that bubble helps the forefoot a lot when not to aggressive with your hiking. All in all it’s a above average insert more costly than some cheaper brands but still very reasonable compared to others in the market. I’ll buy these again specifically for hiking but when I plan for longer more grueling hikes I’ll use my custom orthotics. It’s nice to have these in another shoe so I don’t always have to swap my custom orthotics into a different shoe.

At first I thought it was a great idea. You get both arch support as well as metatarsal support. The metatarsal support is the noticeable bump towards the center. Like first time users with new arch support insoles it takes about a day to get used to the feeling but once you get acclimated the insole becomes very comfortable. You no longer feel the bump. The metatarsal support bump requires a brief adjustment period just like the arch support insoles. The one major downside and the reason for the 3 stars is the insole is designed to narrow. It was so narrow my sole would overlap and pinch against the sides of the boots. It caused a major blister. I was forced to return them. They were so comfortable initially. If they would only make the insole a bit wider it would perhaps the best insole I’ve ever purchased.

Love love love these! I work in a hospital and do 12 hour shifts and these are life savers!
