Better than the lightweight, cushion-ey inserts

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020

Size: 47 US Men's 12 - 12.5Verified Purchase

I'm a runner and I've had a number of problems in my left foot. They probably can all be summed up as metatarsalgia, but when I finally broke down and went to the podiatrist, he found evidence of an old stress fracture. I know a few months before that, I definitely had a neuroma (I felt the clicking in the ball of my foot). Lastly, I've had very tight calves and other symptoms common with plantar fasciitis (foot pain that's bad when I first wake up that slowly warms up). So while all of the symptoms are mild enough that I can run through them, I definitely notice the discomfort. The podiatrist said that I shouldn't be too concerned with it if I'm running 3-5 miles a day, but when the run is over, I'd like to walk around the house barefoot like normal...or wake up without pain in my feet. So I supposed I was resigned to buying crap off of Amazon and self-treating (like a true millennial).

Essentially, this insert is better than the Dr. Scholls-like inserts you can buy at a drugstore, but perhaps not as nice as a custom orthotic. However, unlike orthotics, these are only $40 and not $800. It's more rigid. It seems sized perfectly. I think the key here, as other reviewers have noted, is the raised pad just south of the ball of the foot as well as the rigid arch. The former splays out the toes, and takes pressure off the nerves. I won't lie and say that these puppies were comfortable out of the box. Wearing them in my sneakers around the house sort of shifted the foot discomfort from the usual spots (ball of my foot) to the area closer to the arch of my foot. After one day, I was concerned that the purchase would be another desperate Amazon purchase intended to cure some ailment that wouldn't materialize into much more than money out the window.

After some research (more millennial Googling), I found that many times, professionally made orthotics are not comfortable right away. I mean, it's reasonable. These things are rigid, and they are literally redesigning how weight is being distributed overnight. The key is that after a week or two, hopefully, if they're well designed, you don't even notice that they're in your shoe anymore. With these, after 1 day, I was nowhere near close to finding them comfortable. After Day 2 however, I have to admit, it's getting pretty darn close to not being perceptible in my sneakers. If it continues this way - and I'll try to add to my review - I'll update everyone as I go to buy a few more pairs.

So, overall, these things look well made and definitely seem to have a legitimate impact (pun intended) on how my foot strikes the ground. I have a hunch that these things, in conjunction with good stretching, and wearing my overnight plantar fasciitis brace - that I may finally cure my foot of its ailments. At the very least, it's been pleasant having the incessant yet low level discomfort shift from the ball of my foot to the arch of my foot. And like I said - I think that my foot will adjust to it, and the arch discomfort will go away as the orthotic breaks in, and the ball of my foot will be free to heal up.
