Superfeet All-Purpose Support Medium Arch Insoles (Blue) - Trim-To-Fit Orthotic Shoe Inserts - Professional Grade

These Superfeet Blue insoles give me the perfect balance of firm arch and heel support without being bulky. They’re easy to trim and fit well in all my shoes, making long days on my feet much more comfortable.While insoles are awesome for support and pain relief, I’ve learned it’s just as important to build your foot strength over time. That means doing exercises like towel curls, short foot lifts, and calf raises to naturally strengthen your arches.I’ve also started trying out minimal shoes now and then — shoes with less cushion and support — because they encourage your feet to work harder and get stronger. Combining insoles with these foot workouts and occasional minimal shoe use has really helped improve my foot health overall.If you want solid, professional-grade support but also want to take care of your feet long-term, these insoles are a great place to start.

I benefited a great deal from reviews. So I want to contribute this feedback to help people who suffer the same heel pain.I suffered from heel pain and didn't know what it was. I kept buying jell shoe insert to no avail. I finally went to my family doctor who quickly diagnosed it to be Plantar Fasciitis and prescribed Superfeet. (I am not a podiatrist, so take it as it is worth: the telltale of Plantar Fasciitis is that it hurt a lot when I got up in the morning - then it became better after a few steps.) I took a look at Superfeet and didn't believe it because Superfeet was simply a "piece of very hard plastic" for close to $40 while other inserts were only $10.Furthermore, when I gave Superfeet a try, buying exactly my shoe size, selecting a random arch, it hurt even more. Through trials and errors, I found a method that will help.Some other reviewers wrote about ignoring the shoe size and going for the right fit of the foot arch. I cannot emphasize this enough. It doesn't matter what the size of Superfeet is, when you have the right one, the contour of Superfeet should fit the curve under your foot arch perfectly. The rest of Superfeet could be trimmed.There are two critical factors: 1) the right arch (flat, low, medium, or high arch) and 2) the right fit of the foot from the heel forward. Superfeet has different colors for different arches. It is too much trouble to define whether you have a low, or medium or high arch. Just try on several Superfeet sizes and several colors (for the arch) until you find the Superfeet that fits your heel and your arch perfectly. The rest of the insert can be trimmed. This is difficult if you buy online. So find a store that sells Superfeet to try out, and if they have a good price, give them the business. If not, there are Amazon.com and other online stores.There are a few more conditions to make it a success and no pain: when you trim the inserts, trim slowly. You cannot untrim what you cut too short. The right way is to trim it so that Superfeet is about 1/16" to 1/8" *smaller* than your inner sole toward the front/toes. After inserting Superfeet, you can put your hand and fingers into the shoe to feel the gap around the insert toward the front. In other words, Superfeet will need to be able to move a little - not a lot - while you walk, so that it fits perfectly under your foot. You can experiment the exact size of the insole to find out for yourself. You can always trim it smaller. Also, please remember to remove the removable insole. Believe me. I thought leaving the insole I would get some cushioning to assist this hard plastic. Not true. Superfeet needs to rest on hard sole to provide the balance you need to relieve the pain.Hope your experience is as pleasant as mine and that you won't have to pay a lot for customed orthotics.

work as stated

Good product but returning them because it is too ridged for my foot. I have flat feet too. Went with the super feet insoles for running instead.

They work very well

good

Seem to work. Pretty firm.

Bought these because they were suggested by the podiatrist and I am not a fan at all. Way too hard and very uncomfortable. Definitely not worth the 50.00 I spent on them.
