Product Information

We tested these at three concerts and didn’t experience any of the aches or lower body pains that are commonly associated with long periods of standing. They’re a great option if you’re going out and wearing heels or sandals, as they’re slimmer than most insoles and don’t cramp the toes. But they’re also good for day-to-day casual use, providing targeted support with a rear angle that helps to realign the foot to its optimal position. The lightweight, flexible design makes them easy to insert and remove, which is useful if you’re intending on wearing them with different pairs of shoes.

Insoles come in all shapes and sizes, with some being geared toward providing more comfort, while others are geared towards providing more support or relief for foot-related pain. While this review can serve as a guideline for what the best insoles are like, if you suffer from foot pain, it should not be a replacement for medical advice from an expert in foot care. If you are not used to arch support, it is recommended that you give your feet time to adjust to your new insoles by wearing them for longer and longer each day before you decide they are not for you.The T+L team tested 20 different insoles in our New York City lab. After assessing them ourselves, we performed a range of tests to determine key metrics including support, comfort, pain relief, and breathability. We also conducted experiments to gauge maneuverability with scissors and saws to see how well they would fit into different types of shoes and to observe the interior materials. They are bright yellow on one side and green on the other – a consideration if you’re planning on wearing them with sandals and want them to blend in. It depends on the material, but usually a warm water scrub and leaving them out to dry,” says Dr. Kennedy. Most insoles come with an antimicrobial layer of fabric that eliminates the need for this, but you can usually wash them without damaging them if you feel the need for extra freshness. After researching over 50 pairs of insoles, our expert gear testers rounded up 9 of the best available today to give you an extensive look at what each pair has to offer. These small inserts for your shoes can make a big difference, and for runners, athletes, people with jobs that require them to be on their feet all day, or those who suffer from common injuries like plantar fasciitis or overpronation, we're sure to help you find a pair of insoles to suit your unique needs and budget. The way that insoles fit and feel can be a very subjective experience dependent on foot shape, size, needs, and medical conditions, so let this review serve as more of a guideline to the best features of each brand. The Powerstep Pinnacle are the best insoles we tested for helping remedy foot pain due to pronation. The most common pronation issues are overpronation and underpronation, whereby the natural inward rolling of the foot on impact either rolls too much (overpronation) or too little (underpronation), putting pressure on specific areas instead of distributing force evenly throughout the foot. This can lead to many issues down the line, including the common plantar fasciitis. The Powerstep Pinnacle insoles help keep the feet from over or under pronating with their deep heel cup that aids with natural alignment, and a semi-rigid shell with arch support that provides stability. They're stiff and slip easily into your shoes, allowing you to put them into multiple pairs of shoes without hassle, and are low-profile enough not to take up too much room.

I was looking for an orthopedic insole that gave heel support to help relieve my Achilles tendonitis. Orthotic insoles are most effective when they are designed and used to directly target the specific symptoms associated with various foot problems and conditions. Our medical and sports insoles have been designed to reduce the foot pain caused by various activities and conditions. Excessive or vigorous activity, or resuming exercise after long periods of inactivity, could cause injuries that require you to wear foot orthotics. Let our orthopaedic insoles gently support you every step of the way. My wife has clogged sweat glands in her feet that build up to calluses and these insole helped greatly to reduce the pressure and the build up. Highly recommended to those working on the concrete and harder floors all day All of our shoe inserts and orthotic insoles are developed and produced by the podiatrists here at FootActive. We work closely with a dedicated team of physiotherapists to ensure our orthotic soles are at the forefront of orthopaedic technologies, and are scientifically developed to deliver results. The Walk-Hero Comfort and Support are low-profile, rigid insoles that provide support for all arch types and are made to help alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Firm and pronounced arch support help provide stability to the plantar fascia, and a thin mid-layer of silicone gives a slight cushion to the entire insole. Their rigid support shell makes them easy to insert into any shoe, be it casual, athletic, or work footwear. Because of their ability to support all arch types and their ease of fitting into multiple different shoes, these insoles are an excellent choice for everyday use.Insoles are the lining of the shoe that support the sole or plantar surface of the foot,” explains Dr. Kennedy. “They can [also] be called orthotics and can be off the shelf or custom-made by an orthoptist. For people with a high-arch foot, a supportive orthotic with a lateral heel wedge is often used, while a person with a low arch or flat foot uses a medial posting to help bring the heel into better position while maintaining the arch height.” I saw an online ad for XStance and tried them. They look nearly identical to the Dr. Scholl's insoles I've been using most. It depends on their quality and how often you’re wearing them, but experts believe that most insoles will last from six months to a year. The EasyFeet Plantar Fasciitis Arch Support Insoles boast a unique, hard arch design made of thermoplastic polyurethane. Unlike other insoles made with regular polyurethane, which tends to lose its shape over time, the EasyFeet arches are sturdy and durable, providing support and pain relief directly to the heel and the plantar fascia. They also include a thin yet very comfortable layer of memory foam cushion for comfort and an odor-neutralizing top layer. By providing direct support to the arch, these insoles are designed to help relieve pain associated with plantar fasciitis and other foot-related issues, as well as keep the feet in proper alignment for reduced foot pressure and muscle fatigue for hard activity or long days on your feet. While some might be looking for support from their insoles to help with proper foot alignment or common injuries such as plantar fasciitis, others will be looking for insoles that provide a higher level of comfort in the form of a nicely cushioned layer between their feet and the hard floor or long trail.

I'm a motorcycle instructor, pounding pavement for 6-12 hours a day. Over the past year I've tried many boot/insole combinations and had begun to resign myself to incredibly sore feet at the end of a day, and often for several days. Cork is good!” explains Dr. Valencia. “There’s a carbon fiber insert too. We really don’t want something soft; some people think if it’s just cushion [then] it’s going to help, but we don’t want that. But then if it’s not custom-made, we don’t want it to be too firm either…you really want a good in-between.”
