Excellent product, but too thick for some shoes
Having tried all the drugstore arch supports and other online varieties, the Powerstep and the Powerstep Pinnacle are excellent products and clearly the best I have encountered. Not only are they effective, but they are also comfortable.I have a high arch and was concerned at first that the arch in the Powerstep was not high enough to provide the benefits I needed, because some other medium-height supports did not help me. This turned out not to be a problem. After wearing the Powerstep for just a couple of days my heel problems were gone and my feet and knees felt well. Apparently the shape of the support is just right to provide the benefit.(Incidentally, my main problem has been heel spurs. An insightful doctor told me that they would stop hurting after using arch supports for a couple of months. He was right! Heel cushions are not the solution - arch supports are.)I have also used the Powerstep basic model, which is the same orthotic but...

Powersteps for problem feet
As a long time sufferer of fallen arches I've tried many insteps, from custom made to cheap drug store ones, none have worked as well as the Powerstep Pinnacles. I've been using them for something like 4 years now, maybe longer, after a foot Doc sold me a set after having him look into my foot pain issue. I tried a couple of the better drug store ones but found them no better then having none. They might be okay if you just want some cusion though. I have worked up to the point where I have a set in each of about 5 pairs of footware, started with just one set but moving them from one pair to another proved to be too much hassle. If you have sore arches to the point you can hardly walk, see the doc then try these out (if he suggests the $200 custom jobs, try these first). It took a month or so for the swelling to go down after starting to use these so give them a chance. Do keep in mind that your results will more then likely differ from mine, I just got lucky.

Great for the feet.
These insoles took the pain away from my feet due to Plantar Fascitis. They fit my shoes without having to modify them. Once these wear out I will definitely purchase them again.
