WalkFit Platinum Foot Orthotics Plantar Fasciitis Arch Support Insoles Relieve Foot Back Hip Leg and Knee Pain Improve Balance Alignment (Men 8-8.5 / Women 9-9.5)

Ok so I have been using these for months now and they work. I have plantar fasciitis and like I could make it thru a day even taking breaks taking my shoes and or boots off and resting my feet I mean I tried different boots different insoles and yeah I can't afford that good feet store $300-500 pair of custom fit insoles so the Riverside foot doctor recommended I try these out. And they work feet much better off I can make it thru the day and not set in my car in my drive way with tears in my eyes over the pain in my feet and the thought of having to walk on them to go in my house. like truly my feet are so much better. I mean they still hurt after being up on them but it isn't unbearable anymore and it isn't all that bad most days. Now that I have conveyed to you how good they work let's talk about what sucks about them. One you can not use them with anything else in the show or boot what so ever, you have to take everything out and put these in and use them like that or they kill your feet. and this leaves no padding for the rest of you foot and the balls of your feet and your toes have to just be left to deal with that rough scratchy bottom of your shoe or boot with nothing but the sock on your. Idk why the hell these people didn't make this product so it fits the entire shoe or boot or have it so it can go on top or under the factory insoles, maybe could be paired with a thin gel or air cushion but yeah no I tried all that and yeah these things have to be the only thing in your shoe for them to work right. The little round Velcro things that come with them to keep them in place in your shoe, yeah they suck and don't work. They give you low medium and high arch options and have one installed in the insert all ready. These things wear out and you will have to replace them idk if you can get just the parts that snaps in and out or have to get new supports and everything. Which the part that snaps in that wears out the snapping design itself fails and the things just fall out all the time so yeah I am going to just order a new set. Even though there are three ngs about them I just absolutely hate I will be buying them again and again I don't care how many times I have to buy them I am going to buy them and look for a way to have the ball of my feet and toes some cushioning because these things are what has saved my feet because I was seriously contemplating just blowing my feet off at the ankle with my shotgun of cutting them off with a chainsaw.... Yeah I was at the end of the rope with these dang feet of mine and things were about to get crazy because nothing as hurt me like my feet were hurting my in all of my 43 years on this earth.

After a week on crutches, I developed shooting pains in the bottom of my left foot (the foot that was bearing all the weight). This was quite a familiar pain as I had experienced severe plantar fasciitis during and after my 2nd pregnancy. During that episode of foot pain, my physician referred me to a podiatrist for custom orthotics. But, I happened to find a pair of these on the shelf at Bed, Bath, and Beyond before my appointment. They worked so well and so quickly to alleviate the plantar fasciitis pain that I never purchased the obscenely expensive custom pair being sold by the podiatrist. That was 6 years ago, and when the familiar pain resurfaced, I could not find my old pair of Walkfit inserts anywhere. So, I purchased these with rush shipping. They arrived in 2 days and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the product has improved over the past half a decade. The heel of the insert is now made of gel, which is more comfortable than the old all-plastic design. Additionally, the production quality appears to be better on the newer version as the customizable arch supports fit more snugly into the white base than my old pair. I popped these into my sneakers and was feeling significantly better in just one day. I've been wearing them for a week now (following the instructions on the package and increasing daily from just a few hours of wear the first day)... and, I am pain-free! This is such an inexpensive and simple way to help support those arches when the ligaments get over-stretched. I'm a big fan!P. S. To those who are battling plantar fasciitis pain, I have also found daily calf stretching and massage to aid significantly in the healing process. Hope this helps somebody out there!

I have wide fore foot and narrow heal, considering that it fits well. I'm a small built guy sprinter by nature. While in the army we had to go long distances and strain our feet whilst carrying heavy packs(80-140lbs depending). Caused my arches to become flat since my feet had no strength to maintain arch after the first 15-20 miles(every other day), they just give out and you duck walk to the finish, bad for your feet. I like them in my boots the most, however they do feel good when i go for a run. I work out with them so that i develop muscles to support my corrected arch, not develop them while in a dysfunctional state. Seems to be working as expected. I use highest arch setting, I notice after a work out with them and then an additional 6 -8 hours on my feet i feel soreness. It's to be expected i suppose as it is pressing the tendons into a corrected position. I do wonder if it is causing them to stretch however, To counter the "idea" that may be the case, when bare foot or sandals i consciously pay attention to my posture, slight bend to knees usually forces my knees into alignment with hips(removing the natural lean a person has) and also the ankles and in turn feet. I do notice in long mirror the symmetry that is coming back. Of course newly used muscles are not tired, they just give out since they have not been trained. I find myself when losing endurance on my feet naturally standing with locked knees and then my feet in turn begin to roll inward towards arch with my weight, then my feet shimmy outwards to rest the weight on the arch of foot and not balls of my foot. Point being these inserts work well as a guide. It presses up against your tendons to form arch and naturally your body adapts by tightening area and "flexing" the arch to help strengthen it. Does take time. Again you will "feel" it out. You will notice from soreness if you wear them to long off the bat. I wore 14 hours first day and hurt pretty bad. but objectively i noticed it was causing me to improve posture even when not wearing them. So play around with it a bit, the different sizes, maybe a few hours at a time, then off and wait to see if there is soreness to access your tolerance. There are three elevation pads with this purchase. They work great. I enjoy them.@@on a side note i noticed i now seem to want to stand on the side of my feet when in bare foot. looking in full length mirror i realized if i just force myself from that position to press the pad of my big toe down, that is where my feet used to be and what my arch used to look like. Plus everything is aligned perfectly, so i guess these are reminding my body how it should stand and where it appears im on the sides of my feet, that is really just how many degrees of twist and deformation to my forefoot that has occurred since i started becoming flatfooted. Good to know that it causing my body to realign itself even when not using them. Just a conscious effort to retrain muscles and tendons that have grown and stretched wrong for years. Just something i noticed. Maybe it helps someone. These insoles are a Great buy for the price, good quality, and are helping me correct issues for sure!@@
