Powerstep Pinnacle

Since I received these inserts and started wearing them about 10 days ago, I have found them very comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis in my heel and I think it might be too soon to say that your inserts are helping or not. I have worn orthotics for many years because of problems in my feet. When I received these inserts, I didn’t know what to do because I couldn’t put both the orthotics and your inserts together because they wouldn’t fit. So it was a rather big decision for me to not use my orthotics and just use your inserts. I live in an assisted living facility and I love to walk. I use my walker and on average every day I get at least 8000 steps because my iPhone records them. They are very comfortable and I found that I don’t need my orthotic inserts anymore. Thank you for making such wonderful inserts. I’ve been wearing them for a while now and my plantar fasciitis seems to have calmed down so these inserts are working. I’m very happy with them and wanted to let you know.

This brand was recommended to me by a very prominent podiatrist in Pittsburgh. They adjust to fit into my shoes easily and they have relieved a lot of my pain from the bone spurs I have in my heels. It is also giving me the arch support I need from recently having developed flat feet. These insoles are very comfortable to wear.

Excellent insoles ! At first, when I opened the box and felt them with my hands, I thought they are going to be stiff, putting them in my shoes and working twelve hours a day on concrete.I need comfort well.I got to tell you, I am going to buy another pair of these for another pair of shoes.They are the best i've ever had, thank you so much for saving my day at work

Researching these insoles for a hot minute. Saw they were especially good for plantar fasciitis (my diagnosis on the left heel). Out of the box they are quite comfortable. Relatively good support. They fit in my New Balance 10 D sneakers to perfection. I think that along with PT and home flexibility work I will beat the pain (9/10 getting out of bed). That said, Superfeet All Purpose insoles have firm posting at the heel which is a feeling I was used to. It's too firm for my 15,000 steps a day, and flexible arch.

Supportive, comfortable for my high arches, fits in my fashion boots and sneakers. The first time wearing these in my shoes brought instant relief of my heal pain, foot fatigue, and arch soreness. I want sure if I wanted to spend this kind of money but I'm glad I did! They slip easily from shoe to shoe but I will be purchasing another pair!

They fit well in my shoes and they feel great. My first test was mowing the grass. I was happy that I did not get my normal pain afterwards!

WOW! Finally! I've tried every insole on the market over the years. I tried them when I was still able to be a CNC Machinist and Forewoman to try to save my Lower Back and ease my Plantar Fascilitis and now that I've had to quit my trade and go into Physical Therapy because of the aforementioned back getting much worse and going from "really painful at a high-intensity, heavy-lifting job pain" to "I can't even walk upright or do anything but gentle stretches type-pain". I've begun Physical Therapy for my Lower Back & a Torn Rotater Ruff (yeah....terrible luck, I know) so I'm on my own for the PF because the Physical Therapist can only target so many areas at once. I've been trying inserts for at least 10 years and they all caused my nearly instant and HORRIBLE pain and usually made my PF much worse. Plus, they usually required cutting and trimming and didn't fit a variety of shoes to be truly versatile. I bought these and kept all of the packaging because I fully expected to be sending them back. Well...I threw out that packaging after my 1st week using these in my Running/Gym shoes as well as my casual shoes and some Snow Boots. These have not just improved my Lower-Back Pain immensely....but my PF is 65% better (I'm also using PF Compression Socks, mind you and wearing those to bed to repair/heal). What's amazing to me is that I'm also going to the Gym and doing 90-minute Cardio Sessions 6 days per week on top of the Physical Therapy to strengthen my whole body, lose the weight I've gained being unable to work/workout, and to build muscle near the areas that are injured. So I'm wearing these things in my Running Shoes and wearing them for 90 minutes per day on Standing Ellipticals, Seated Ellipticals, Treadmills, and Leg Press Machines. And there's NO PF pain throbbing afterward! These are ROCK HARD insoles. Please keep that in mind. I think most people *myself included* fall for the "gel insoles" and "memory foam comfort" stuff thinking that will be better for our feet and PF (or back issues) because it seems like a cushioned sole would be best. Now that I've tried these, I get why the others didn't work. We need HARD Support. If you can't tolerate hard insoles for some reason....these are not for you. If you have lower back pain or PF and other insoles have failed you....you NEED to try these. I purchased the Women's Size 8 - 8.5 and these fit my Running/Athletic shoes PERFECTLY. Slipped them right in (after removing the original insoles, of course) and dared to go straight to the Gym and *hope* these would work out. Well...they did! Much better than my *expensive branded insole that came with said running shoe* and a notable difference in PF right away. I didn't have to trim them at all and since they are so hard, you can easily slip them into and out of your shoes for a quick change. I put them into my furry Uggs the next day and they fit just as well and kept the PF and lower back pain at bay. I couldn't believe they were working. I am so used to them feeling "OK" at first and then after a day or two causing a "new" pain or worsening old pain and having to throw away expensive insoles. These are like a MIRACLE! I haven't had a burning/shooting heel since I put these into my running shoes and considering my 6 days per week Gym Schedule and Physical Therapy is new to my body as well as HARD on my body....this seems amazing to me. Don't stress about the sizing. It's right on point. Get whatever closely matches your normal shoe size because these are right on point. They're also a bit wider (than I need because I have a very "normal" width foot) so if your foot is a little on the wider side, these have the extra space to fit them without making "normals" fit any lesser. The arch is very high and hard and really supports you where you need it. The contour and outside diameter is cut much more accurately than others and I think that's part of why no trimming is needed and if you buy your correct size....these should bit your current shoes like a glove. I originally felt really stupid for spending this kind of money on *yet another* pair of insoles that are supposed to be "so awesome" ....but never worked for ME. Now I can't wait to try some of their "slimmer" fits so that I can wear my evening shoes and other slimmer shoes without pain, as well. The photos I'm posting show the running shoes I wear for Physical Therapy and the Gym with the original insole taken out in one shoe....and this insole placed inside of the other shoe. The insole itself is laid next to the shoe for size and width comparison. I also included a photo of the insole from the side-view to see the contour, and a photo of my bare foot (that's a compression sock) against just the insole to show how good the sizing is and how it fits a bare foot. I highly recommend these - especially if you've tried every other brand and style and have decided *like me* that insoles just aren't "for your problem". Because these ARE. I really urge anyone with PF or Back Pain to give them a try! NO cons to this product. Will buy again and again.

An ex-football player past his prime (6'3", 360 lbs, size 13D, medium arch), I was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. My orthopedist recommended daily stretching exercises and Orthoheel slippers to wear indoors (no more walking around in socks). What a difference! The slippers and exercises lessened my symptoms from the start and, over time, eliminated most of my discomfort, so I decided to find some orthotic inserts to improve my street shoes. So far, I've tested: 1. Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support 2. Aetrex Copper Medium Arch 3. Spenco Polysorb Total Support 4. Superfeet Copper DMP 5. Powerstep Pinnacle 6. Powerstep Pinnacle Pro each for two hours' total walking time over a few days in two pairs of my favorite shoes: New Balance 606 hikers and Cole Haan loafers with Nike Air. Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support: Advertised for big & tall men, they didn't do much for me. While the extra cushioning helped at first, it helped less and less the longer I walked on them. I mentioned this to my orthopod and he told me the key to managing PF is not cushioning, it's support. Grade: D Spenco Polysorb Total Support: Remembering my doc's advice, I chose these for the rigid heel cup and arch support. Though quite comfortable overall, the arch support was a bit too low for my medium-high arches and the heel cup was insufficient support for weight. While they worked reasonably well for me, I believe they would a be better choice for lighter individuals with lower arches. Grade: B Aetrex Copper Medium Arch: Promising better arch support, these felt very similar to the Spenco insoles even after walking around the block. I then swapped one of the Aetrex insoles for one of the Spenco insoles and walked around again. Only then could I tell them apart. The Spenco offered a little better support for the mid- and fore-parts of my foot, the Aetrex offered a little better support for my arch. Grade: B Superfeet: I was in an Allen Edmonds store and noticed the Superfeet insoles. The clerk said many men my size have good success with them. I tried the Orange and the Copper DMP versions in the store. Finding the Orange too high for my arches, I got a pair of the Copper DMP. These are easily the most rigid of the insoles I've tried...and easily the best. Superfeet arch support sits farther back on the insole than other brands. This made a real difference in the support and comfort I felt walking long distances. I also found the medial post support in the heel did a better job than other insoles in combatting over-pronation. Grade: A [Update: I have since tried Superfeet Black in dress shoes that couldn't accommodate the Orange insole. They work well but are not as supportive as the Copper.] Powerstep Pinnacle: While it seems well-made and offered good support, it simply did not work for me. The gel-based arch support sits too far forward and in the middle of the insole. The insoles felt like I had lumps of clay underfoot. After a few blocks of brisk walking, my feet began to fatigue as if I were walking barefoot in sand. Again, these may work for some people but they didn't for me. Grade: C Powerstep Pinnacle Pro: Other wearers commented that the Pinnacle Pro differs markedly from the Pinnacle, so I tried a pair. I barely made it a block before heading back home. Though more rigid than the Pinnacle and with a better heel cup, the Pinnacle Pro was too inflexible through the arch and ball of my foot. These were the only insoles I tried that truly caused me pain. Of course, it could just be the contours of my feet, and for others the Pinnacle Pro might be great. Grade: F

Tenia un dolor con cierto tipo de zapato (suela delgada), y pensaba que ya no podria utilizarlos. Me di una ultima oportunidad con estas plantillas, y estoy muy contento por que ya no siento dolor. Son muy comodas y se sienten de buen material. La entrega de amazon sin problemas.

Helps a fair bit.

I’m a technician at a dealership so I walk on concrete the entire day. In my mid 20s I developed very sore feet/heels. After some research I found that I have plantar fasciitis and I have high arches. I’ve tried 6 different insoles in the last year, although some helped, none would completely take away the dull pain I would have every evening after work. I’ve been using this product for a month now and it has done wonders for my feet. My plantar fasciitis was so bad that I would limp and hobble around my house every single night.. I no longer have this problem. Obviously insoles are not going to cure my condition completely but 90% of my pain is gone at night. During the day while using these insoles I no longer feel ANY pain or soreness. If you have high arches and struggle with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs or just sore feet, try this product! Worth the money

Powerstep pinnacle felt wide but when compared to other insoles, only the mid portion is wider. My run time is a little slower than another off-the-shelf orthotics. Arch support is more towards the forefoot than the heel, which needed some time to get used to. When running, it doesn't hinder me in any way.

I have tried several brands/types of insoles, and these are the best by far. They are very comfortable and provide quality support.
