These are so comfortable and fit perfectly. Really makes a difference in the ball of the foot

Good value for the money. Even though they are a bit expensive, my podiatrist recommended these and they really help my feet feel better. It has arch support, but more important for me, it has a raised firm area just behind and under the center of the ball of my foot that helps with the specific problem my feet have (you'd have to talk to my podiatrist). They cost significantly more than the less expensive model, but I think they have been worth the money.They are well made, easy to trim and insert, stay in place, and will probably last a long time.Now I just need to buy more for my other shoes.

These seem to work very good so far. Specifically the metatarsal support is adequate . Quite a bit cheaper then some other insoles out there.

Great item works well for slipping in your boots or shoes. Hard to find these in the stores. They do provide comfort, and they're very durable.They will last a long time.

Got these for a pair of new balance sneakers. They were True to size and truly allowed me to wear them pain free. I have pain in the ball of my foot and these helped significantly. Last about 6 months with regular use. Will order again.

Finalmente, un producto que es útil para mí. Cumple con lo que ofrece. Satisfecho. Evidentemente no se le puede dejar todo el resultado a las plantillas, requiere disciplina y cambio de calzado.

I keep getting problems with something causing pain in the ball of my foot. It was behind the toes on the first "pad". Anyway, I looked at the cost of seeing a podiatrist and custom orthotics. Pretty expensive. These inserts were not cheap, but well worth it compared to the alternative. I can walk again and the first two issues I had resolved. The extra ball arch support on the Power Steps could have been 1/2 inch further forward in my opinion (in my case). However, they did the job. Overall, I happily recommend trying these if you would like to possibly save hundreds of dollars getting a specialist consult and custom orthotics. I also used these in conjunction with Curad corn/callous remover pads. (There are many brands and types of the latter.) They were applicable to my symptoms, removed the callouses that developed (and that had caused more pain) and provided a little extra cushioning to help tolerate the ball of foot pain until resolved.

These insoles are much more comfortable and effective than my custom-made orthotic insoles. They provide good cushioning to my heels and ease the pain I have felt daily in my feet. I will definitely buy them again and am thankful for this excellent product.

I purchased two pair of these inserts to use in various shoes. I have a pair of Hoka shoes I use mainly for walking. The inserts work very well in those shoes. The arch support is strong - which takes some pressure off of the ball of the foot. Since I have Metatarsalgia in my right foot, these inserts help a little with the pain. I also tried a pair in my Nike Zoom Pegasus running shoe. Unfortunately, the insert does not work well in those shoes. The shoes are already rather snug and with the insert they are almost impossible for my foot to fit even with the laces fully loosened. The shoe is very uncomfortable. I also tried the insert in my Nike cross training shoes. Again, they didn't work well. I found the lateral stability with these inserts is highly compromised - causing my foot to roll when there is strong lateral movement during exercise.In summary, these inserts work well in roomy shoes used for just walking but not well in snug shoes used for running or cross training. Although I purchased two pair of these inserts, I found only one pair of shoes that work well with them.

I spend far more time on my feet than I should, and about 5 years ago began developing a problem with a callous point on the ball of my foot at the neck/head of my 3rd metatarsal which would quickly go from painful to debilitating if I remained on my feet. Already using heavy duty professional inserts, having very high arches, and grinding off the callous every 10-15 days I still found no relief, until now. Purchased 2 months ago, and worn continuously ever since, and still on my feet 16-20 hours a day, I've not once had any further callous build-up, and no more pain! Now, you may read a number of reviews mentioning that the metatarsal pad of these inserts is in the wrong place, too high towards the arch and not under the ball. In looking at buyer photos and the ad it appeared to me that way, too, however it occurred to me that the placement of the extra pad was possibly not supposed to be added cushioning but instead worked by levering the mid metatarsals upwards a little so that pressure was spread more evenly over the entire width of the ball. Added cushion right on the point of pain would probably feel like an even bigger rock in my shoe and only make things worse. So I made the purchase and hoped for the best. Whether my theory was correct or it works on another basis, the important thing is that is has worked, incredibly well, where no other product I've tried had any effect at all. While I feel like they are over-priced, the results have been worth every penny. In reading reviews ahead of time, I also noticed a few comments mentioning the fit of this insert being more suited to a man's foot, and I can't help to answer this, as I am male and have a large foot, wearing US size 13 extra wide shoes.

I would imagine these might be great if your issue is needing more support in the heal and arch but they did not help at all with my metatarsal pain. The pad is positioned too far back. The arch support is very pronounced. It caused me significant pain while walking. The heel support is also aggressive. It puts your foot in a forward slant. (Think high heeled shoe but not as drastic). The entire insert is also thick from the middle of the foot back. It puts you higher in the shoe which causes other issues.
