Spenco Total Support Max Shoe Insoles, Men's 16-17.5

Got size 13 but was way too long for my size 13 shoes

Perfect

Vraiment impeccable avec une nouvelle paire de chaussures, je n'ai plus mal a la cheville. Je recommande

I was skeptical. I've been suffering from foot pain for the better part of a year and had a feeling it was plantar fasciitis, though I've not bothered wasting a doctor's time to tell me what I'm fairly certain it is. I've used 3 other inserts and none have been effective in reducing the pain. I always felt like there just wasn't enough padding to support me standing all day at work. These ones are... odd. They aren't any more padded than any of the other inserts I've used. In fact, the hard arch support feels much, well, harder than anything I've used, even inserts that market themselves as having arch support. It took me about a week of discomfort before my feet got used to these things. And I mean serious discomfort. Once I adapted to using them, though, night and day difference. The pain from standing and walking, even after I get home and take my shoes off, has decreased significantly compared to before. That in and of itself makes them worth the money. Only minor complaint is that they don't completely fill my shoe. I wear a size 12 and there's a gap of a couple millimeters between the edge of the insert and the edge of the shoe. I do notice this sometimes when walking but it's not a deal breaker. Just something to bear in mind if you have large feet.

Perfect arch support, which results in less pressure on my spine. I'm tall and skinny with long narrow feet that needs strong arch support. These ones do it better than any off the shelf ones I've tried from my local chemist.

I have flat feet and severely overpronate. I have worn custom orthotics for about 10 years but as I got more athletic and fit those orthotics wit the style made stopped working. I was actually in more pain when wearing the orthotics than barefoot. I lost a lot of weight and am more fit that I have ever been., Went to a new podiatrist who automatically talked me into getting her $400 custom orthotics and she wanted me in the Brooks Beast. In no way would listen that I was not comfortable at all. So got a refund and off to an orthopedic surgeon who finally had answers and #1 for him was Spenco Total Support Insoles. I wear a neutral New Balance running shoe and he said the problem had been I had been buying shoes to fit the orthotic and it should be the other way around. The moment I stood on these insoles in his office I felt support and comfort. We trimmed them to size and my feet have been granted a new life. I get such support, stability and comfort from these orthotics. Honestly better than I ever got from custom orthotics. It is important to note these are not orthotics to be worn just for comfort. They are strong, durable and rigid meant to provide that needed support for the overpronator. There is rigid arch support with a deep heel cup that has a ton of cushioning. When I started wearing these I felt so great I exercized and walked ant least 5 miles a day for a week and overdid it. Needed a short break before easing back in. With any new orthotic you must give them a break in period. And as I said I get more support and comfort with these than with $400 custom orthotics. Another note, when I first wore these they squeaked which I read was a common thing with new orthotics. I put some moleskin under the heel which silenced it some but they just needed to be worn in and now the squeak is fully gone. I am rather stunned at what a high end product these are and also how durable. I have been suffering with pain for no one would help me get the correct orthotic and understand what I truly need. Till this doctor. Finally no more pain and no more buying product after product to try. But remember don't overdo at first and ease into these. These are very structured with a lot of support. But they will help. Let your feet and body adjust. I can't recommend them enough.
