Dual Shock Orthotic Sports Insole Balance Correction and Rigid Support Base for Over Pronation and Plantar Fasciitis

I've been having pain in my left foot for over a month, I believe it is plantar fascitis. They are a little uncomfortable to wear at first until you get used to it being there but after wearing these inside my trainers for one day the pain has pretty much vanished! The pain was worse first thing in the morning but the next day after wearing them...nothing! I will continue to wear them for the rest of the week to see if the pain fully goes but as it stands (or should that be as I stand) it's hardly noticeable now unless I really press my heel in to the floor. Highly recommended. Excellent product.

Achilles tendinitis is like having your heel intermittently cut into with a red hot carving knife when you're wearing shoes. Being overweight and suddenly taking up running I was a prime candidate for it. I found some exercises on YouTube to follow to alleviate it, and saw a recommendation for orthotic insoles. These have really helped; they raise my foot a little so the back of my shoe isn't pressing right on the tendon, but they also align my foot properly. I was able to complete a 12k hike in comfort, and a gentle 3k test run. They are easy to cut down to size and they can be swapped into different shoes, though I've just bought another couple of pairs so I don't have to bother with that. I've knocked a star off for comfort because for me, the arch support is not as comfortable as not having the insoles, but the lack of pain in my achilles more than makes up for that.

I looked long and hard before I bought these.I have "runners knee" - Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) and a pronation.I wasn't sure these would help but after my first run today since I got them, I returned after 4 miles with no knee pain!They are made of foam and would snap if bent over.I found them a snug fit in my trainers (Slazenger) after I trimmed them to size seven with a pair of scissors.I went for a 3 mile walk at first in new trainers (size 7) and whilst the shoes were tight they eased in OK.This morning I moved the insoles to my old trainers which are surprisingly a size 8 (who knew!) and they still fitted OK.It did feel like I had a stone under my foot for the first KM but after then I forgot I had them in.It wasn't until I realised that my knee wasn't hurting that I remembered they were in.They also made me 1/2 and inch taller and they do absorb the shocks better than just trainers do on roads and pavements.I would recommend these for anyone running and suffering pain afterwards.They may not work for everyone but at the low price are worth trying.I'm not sure if more expensive versions would be any better or last longer.UPDATE:I can now run 10K every day without any knee pain. I have also noticed my trainer heels are wearing evenly across the back not just on the outside edges. Result!These insoles also appear to mould to suit your feet contours in time too.But I have found it is a good idea to remove them after exercise as they do make the trainers smell as moisture goes through the Pro insoles but cannot escape from the trainer insole.

Does what it says on the label.

The arch support for these insoles is set too far back to do any good, with the raised area pushing directly into the underside of my heels. Since using them I've developed a constant lower back ache and keep getting funny sensations in my calves and pains in the arches of both feet. They seem to be quite well made but due to the arch support issue I wouldn't buy them again.

Very nice buy

I am a UK 9. I first ordered the "L" size but the arch support was too close to the heel/too far back so it was in the "wrong" place. This meant that there was this big lump pushing up about half-way/three-quarters-of-the-way between my heel and the top of the arch of my foot, leaving the arch itself totally unsupported.I thought that perhaps it was because I was "between sizes" so I re-ordered the "XL" size. The arch for this one is a little bit further away from the heel, but was still too far back.I don't understand as I have used other arch supports form other brands without this issue in the past (so not just a case of weird-shaped feet!), so it has to be something wrong with this particular brand's products.Both the L and XL went in the bin as I had to cut them up to fit into my shoes. Waste of money.

Relieved the pain in heel
