Best I've Ever Used.

These have worked well for my plantar fasciitis. It's not cured, but has helped. I wish they had a higher arch, but they are doing what they are intended to do. Some others have complained about the durability. I've had them for about 5 months, and they are just fine. I would expect they will easily last past 1 year of ownership (and I wear them every single day). Minus 1 star because I wish the arch was a little higher, but that's personal preference. *Update* I have now used these insoles for about 1.5 years. When I buy a pair of shoes, I throw away the insoles and use only these; so I have literally worn them every day for 1.5 years, and they are still going strong. I assume I'll have to purchase a new set in 6 months or so as I am seeing some signs of wear. Overall, I am very happy with these. Of note, my plantar fasciitis is gone. what a wonderful thing that is too because it made it difficult to walk for several months.

After a few failed inserts, these were perfect for my vintage Frye boots (heeled)!

My favorite shoes are a pair of vintage Frye boots (from 1980 to be exact!). However, they are not always the most comfortable for long wearing periods. The sole, being leather, is a bit on the hard side and provides no cushioning or support. I have tried a few inserts through the years and was generally unimpressed. These though, dang! When I put my foot in my boot with these I could tell that this was something special. I need a little metatarsel support in the form of a bit of lifted arch support on the inner side of my food. I have custom inserts but they never quite work with these boots. These work in the way that I wish my $200 custom orthotics did with these boots. The boots in question have a 1 3/4 inch heel. While my orthotics work sublimely in flat shoes but just not in my coveted Frye boots. This worked with my heeled Frye boots and I could not be any more pleased with them.

Great for plantar fasciitis sufferers!

At the moment I'm having a nasty bout of plantar fasciitis. I originally bought a set of Superfeet insoles, and they were horrible. Hard as bricks, and they caused my bad foot and both knees a great deal of pain. I then ordered the Powerstep Pinnacle Breeze insoles. Aaaaaaaahhhhhh. They have the right combination of support and cushioning. I still have some discomfort from the plantar fasciitis, but at least I can function while the problem slowly heals. Take it from someone who has first hand (or first foot) experience...these Powerstep insoles are what you want if you have heel pain from plantar fasciitis.

"Quiet those barking dogs"

Oh, I could sing the praises of powerstep, but all I have to say is this: my 4-year suffering from plantar fasciitis has come to an end due to the religious use of these great insoles in all my shoes - including slippers. If there was a way to wear them in the shower, I would. I never and I mean NEVER walk barefoot anywhere, not even to make coffee in the morning. Wal-Mart sells some nice. cheap shoes called ANDI I use for kicking around the house or yard, and I have put powersteps in all my shoes. I hope you will try these if you suffer like I did, you know what an awful thing it is to have barking dogs. I'm back to walking 3-4 miles every day, thank Jah!

No more foot pain!

These inserts are awesome! My arches are starting to fall causing foot pain when wearing shoes without arch support. I began having foot pain after wearing my work tennis shoes for about 1 yr. After removing the original inserts I put these orthotics in my old shoes and my foot pain was eliminated immediately. It was like having a new pair of shoes only I did not spend another $130 on new shoes. I have been wearing them daily for about 2 months and my feet still feel great. The difference in these orthotics and less expensive ones in store is the deep heel cup which stabilizes the heel and the fairly rigid arch support. This may not be as comfortable to someone who does not have a flexible arch. I also bought the 3/4 length for casual shoes and they also work great but do not take up as much room in the shoe. I ordered them for my children who are college students waiting tables for the summer and cannot wear tennis shoes with good support to work. They love them too! I have recommended these to everyone I have talked to with similar foot problem.

Should have gotten these months ago.

I've had these for less than 24 hours, so I'll post an update if anything changes, but...oh em gee. I feel like no one will believe this is a legitimate review, because I'm about to tell you that the INSTANT I put these on, I began to feel better. Before my foot even hit the floor or I stood up or tried to walk, my foot and ankle felt better. I wore them for about an hour last night, and put them on again as soon as I was out of bed this morning. I can still feel a bit of a twinge, but the limp I've been fighting for several weeks is gone, and the pain reduced by 90%. My issues: overpronation, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, gastrocnemius tendinopathy, hip instability - basically the connective tissue in my whole left leg is tight and inflamed and making things painful while restricting movement...and my right heel is starting to twinge in solidarity. Fun times. The size Women's 9-9.5 fit into my Sketchers size 9 perfectly, with no extra room for sliding or pinching toes, and no bunching of the insole. I tried them with and without removing the shoes' original insole, and I think I prefer it with the shoes' insole, but more walking around in them today will decide that. I'm really hoping these hold up. I'll be back to let you know if they don't.

but like it says on box

I have extremely flat feet and often times at work I have to stand for hours on end. Because of this, I have very sore feet and have dealt with plantar fasciitis. I bought a set of these and a second set of the Maxx Full length to try out. I started with Powerstep, and after getting used to them over a few days of wear, I beginning to feel relief from the pain. I'll admit, the first day I was having second thoughts, because the arch supports were hurting a little, but like it says on box, you need to get your feet accustomed to them. I'll probably return the Maxx Step wihtout even trying them, because I think the powerstep is all I need.

Legs feel better quickly!

It’s been a week. Before, my legs hurt: calf to knee, and especially my “knee pit,” and my feet and heel were constantly in pain and they were never comfortable. I had my massage therapist working on my legs and feet and we were trying to figure out what made my legs hurt so bad. She suggested finding some good shoe insoles that had good support. First day, they fit right into my shoes and I didn’t have to cut it down to make it fit. I started wearing them to work and left thinking I should have brought a spare pair of shoes in case my feet needed a break (the directions suggested only wearing them 3-4 hours to start with), but I only had the shoes on my feet for the day. I made it through the day and my feet actually felt better already! Fast forward to now a week of wearing them almost everyday. My leg pain is much better. My knee pit where the muscle/tendon felt like it was pulled tight is gone, the heels and feet are much better as well! If you haven’t tried this insole, and you have feet, heel, and/or leg pain, I would suggest these ones!

Life changing for my pronater

My husband has multiple bulging discs in his back. We spent about 5 years never leaving the house because he couldn’t walk or stand for longer than about 30 min. We went to a specialty shoe store and had his walk assessed. Enter pinnacle orthotics. Within about 1-2 weeks he could walk or stand for over an hour and it just got better and better... 5 years later and we live like normal people. My husband replaces these about 2-3 times a year because he cannot live without them. They are moved between every pair of shoes he wears. They may wear down a little more quickly on him because he’s a pretty big guy (about 240 lbs). He pronates severely (ie., his ankles roll in when he walks), and that is the reason these were recommended. I realize that specialty products are not for everyone but the pronation is why these were recommended for him. I tried a similar pinnacle insole but I don’t have an uneven walk, and I sma fairly small person and they were very uncomfortable for me. Not sure if the great fit for my husband is because he pronates and he’s a large man. Keep in mind there will be a little bit of time while your posture adjusts to these so you may experience some mild discomfort for the first week or so. Also, you may want to order 1/2 size down if you border sizes. He’s a 14 and the 14-15 ones are uncomfortable and he has trouble with them fitting his shoes so he uses the 12-13 size.

Great for flat footed pain

My husband works for an apartment management company as a special projects maintenance professional. He is on his feet for many hours a day in steel toe work boots. He like many others has a flat foot issue that was not to the point of plantar fasciitis but still painful. The doctor recommended these to me for my plantar fasciitis and they helped me so much so we ordered some for him. He can wear them for up to a about 9 months before the wear it too much. The pictures show 1 year of wear.
