Carbon Fiber Insoles, Carbon Fiber Foot Plate 1 Pair Rigid Shoe Insert Support Turf Toe, Foot Fractures, Morton Extension, Hallux Rigidus and Limitus - Alternative to Post Op Shoe

I suffer from Big Toe Joint pain in both feet, but especially in my right foot. This is a result of the connective tissue being worn away between the toe joints, leading to bone on bone friction. At the suggestion of my orthopedist last year, I bought one carbon fiber insert (another seller through Amazon with a product called Onujo fiber insole) to put into my right shoe, so that my right foot toes don't bend when walking. It did the trick. The insert took the pressure off my right toe, because it stayed stable, so almost no pain. I did need a soft insert (e.g., like a Dr. Scholl's gel insert) over the carbon fiber insert because I needed some padding to protect my heel and sole from the carbon fiber's hard surface. I felt sometimes on my right foot that I was walking like Frankenstein, just plopping my foot down, because the foot didn't bend when it hit the ground.Unfortunately, the pain got so bad this year that I had surgery to fuse my Big Toe. Now it really doesn't bend at all, so no friction and no pain, and the carbon fiber insert keeps my right foot flat.Since my left Big Toe pain is now getting worse, I decided to get another carbon fiber insert to see if that would help me postpone surgery for that foot.I went with this vendor because I got two inserts compared to the price of the one I bought last year. So far, so good. These inserts appear to be identical in every way except for the price, and hopefully they keep me walking and pain-free for a good, long time.

Great, cheap plates. Useful in shoes. Wish it came in a spring plate (arched) version as well for athletic use.

My ortho doctor recommended these. I’ve developed arthritis & beginning of bone spurs in the bones on the top of my foot. These are a firm, rigid PLATE that keep your shoe from bending at the toe & ball of foot thus relieving pressure farther up the foot. They are NOT a soft, comfy, arch support. That is not their purpose. They help prevent flexing of the toes/ball of foot & in doing so yes, your heel rises out of your shoe a little. Takes some gtg used to cuz it makes your shoe rigid & they prevent you from pushing off from the toe area as you walk. I ordered my shoe size & they fit perfectly. You rip out your shoes insole. Put in the carbon plate & cover with the insole that comes with the plate. After a couple days I am 90% pain free. Highly recommend.

Metal plate is good but the padding isn't it slides and curls up when u put your foot in the shoe I threw them away and just using the plate. But the plate really helps.

My daughter needed carbon, fiber, and salt or extraction rack to her foot. We ordered these due to the low cost and we’re not disappointed. The size was as advertised. It fit her shoe. I can’t see any of these comfortable since it is a metal plate, your shoe, but I feel it does what it supposed to do. The Support is there, the plates do not bend.. They are easy to use if you just sit in your shoe they have waxed through an entire Field Hockey in lacrosse season and they still looking brand new.

works well, comfortable, firm and bendable, supports well

Had to purchase for my fractured foot, fits easy in the shoe, comfy, easy to use & the pain relief is the top supported issue need.5 star

Very good, I used this on running shoes and on combat boots, the difference is nice because you no longer feel rocks as you walk or run.
