Spenco Total Support Original Insole, Women's 5-6.5

Muy cómodas y durables

The media could not be loaded. I buy these inserts for many years now. They last a long time. Every time I buy new shoes that match a lot of my outfits, I add these inserts to them. I highly recommend as they make your walks longer and they add additional support not only to your legs, but improve your spine as well.

These insoles have been exactly what I needed for assistance with a problem with one of my feet. Unfortunately Amazon no longer has my particular size i n their inventory.

An ex-football player past his prime (6'3", 360 lbs, size 13D, medium arch), I was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. My orthopedist recommended daily stretching exercises and Orthoheel slippers to wear indoors (no more walking around in socks). What a difference! The slippers and exercises lessened my symptoms from the start and, over time, eliminated most of my discomfort, so I decided to find some orthotic inserts to improve my street shoes.So far, I've tested:1. Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support2. Aetrex Copper Medium Arch3. Spenco Polysorb Total Support4. Superfeet Copper DMP5. Powerstep Pinnacle6. Powerstep Pinnacle Proeach for two hours' total walking time over a few days in two pairs of my favorite shoes: New Balance 606 hikers and Cole Haan loafers with Nike Air.Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support: Advertised for big & tall men, they didn't do much for me. While the extra cushioning helped at first, it helped less and less the longer I walked on them. I mentioned this to my orthopod and he told me the key to managing PF is not cushioning, it's support. Grade: DSpenco Polysorb Total Support: Remembering my doc's advice, I chose these for the rigid heel cup and arch support. Though quite comfortable overall, the arch support was a bit too low for my medium-high arches and the heel cup was insufficient support for weight. While they worked reasonably well for me, I believe they would a be better choice for lighter individuals with lower arches. Grade: BAetrex Copper Medium Arch: Promising better arch support, these felt very similar to the Spenco insoles even after walking around the block. I then swapped one of the Aetrex insoles for one of the Spenco insoles and walked around again. Only then could I tell them apart. The Spenco offered a little better support for the mid- and fore-parts of my foot, the Aetrex offered a little better support for my arch. Grade: BSuperfeet: I was in an Allen Edmonds store and noticed the Superfeet insoles. The clerk said many men my size have good success with them. I tried the Orange and the Copper DMP versions in the store. Finding the Orange too high for my arches, I got a pair of the Copper DMP. These are easily the most rigid of the insoles I've tried...and easily the best. Superfeet arch support sits farther back on the insole than other brands. This made a real difference in the support and comfort I felt walking long distances. I also found the medial post support in the heel did a better job than other insoles in combatting over-pronation. Grade: A [Update: I have since tried Superfeet Black in dress shoes that couldn't accommodate the Orange insole. They work well but are not as supportive as the Copper.]Powerstep Pinnacle: While it seems well-made and offered good support, it simply did not work for me. The gel-based arch support sits too far forward and in the middle of the insole. The insoles felt like I had lumps of clay underfoot. After a few blocks of brisk walking, my feet began to fatigue as if I were walking barefoot in sand. Again, these may work for some people but they didn't for me. Grade: CPowerstep Pinnacle Pro: Other wearers commented that the Pinnacle Pro differs markedly from the Pinnacle, so I tried a pair. I barely made it a block before heading back home. Though more rigid than the Pinnacle and with a better heel cup, the Pinnacle Pro was too inflexible through the arch and ball of my foot. These were the only insoles I tried that truly caused me pain. Of course, it could just be the contours of my feet, and for others the Pinnacle Pro might be great. Grade: F

These are just perfect for me. What a relief for my feet.

I used to have custom orthotics, but these do well for arch support 12-15 hours a day in steel toe work boots. I have gotten a new set for 4 different pairs of Timberland Pro model 52562 size 10.5, and they fit perfectly, no trimming was needed. It is worth noting that like the boots, the insoles will age and wear out as well. I think the original set lasted 2 years and the plastic in the middle finally cracked on both, possibly from taking them in and out to clean under them in the boot and to clean the insoles themselves. For the cost, I couldn't ask for more. 2 years of extensive abuse and thousands of hours on my feet and these held up non stop. Compare that to a year of when the boot needs replacing (thats when they offer reimbursement for work boots and seems to be about as long as I would push the boots). I will continue to get these exact insoles for every pair of work boots, and even use them as replacement insoles in my Brooks tennis shoes. I like them that much, that I won’t even consider trying my luck with another brand of aftermarket insoles aside from expensive custom orthotics from the foot doctor.

I’ve suffered for almost 2 years with my feet and legs tingling...I have purchased more shoes than I have in my life trying to find some relief!I had an appt with a foot dr who HIGHLY recommended me to purchase these.I didn’t waste time and did it from their parking lot!!They arrived and immediately I switched them out. At the end of the very first day, NO foot aches, no tingling, no cramps at night.I’ll never go without these insoles again in my lifetime.Save yourself a lot of money and buy them, but enough for every pair that you have because I promise, you’ll be so glad that you did. They were a bit pricey, but it’s far better than buying new shoes.

Not enough of an arch for me but quality seems good.
