Original Insoles - Podiatrist-Designed Arch Support Shoe Inserts for Good Feet to Relieve Plantar Fasciitis, Back, Hip & Knee Pain | Designed for High Arches

These specific ones are HARD, and literally All the other ones ive ever found are soft or “hard” or they will “customize to your foot” but what the truth is, is that a foot needs to be Molded to Proper shape , so that it utilizes ideal Form Fit and Function etc, (therefore making all the other shoe insert options null & void in my “educated” opinion and also in my Experience using them and healing) my story : (if you need more context before dropping a blue face $100 on some "shoe inserts" lol) in my middle school era, so 2002, my mom dated a nice dude named Bert, he was old"ish" lol in his 70's and he was a lawyer so he had money, he was a para-trooper in Vietnam war as a young person bc they basically almost Had to; anyway, he was into motorcycles at this point in his life and at a Convention one year , there was a Vendor selling Shoe Inserts like these; HARD and intended to shape the foot to best structure etc. I gotta tell you the baseball team hated me and the coach called me 'Ant Stomper' yo lol, but it sounded more like Aint Stahwmper, anyway I was flat foot back then u know... Alas, Bert spent at least $250 on the shoe inserts for me that day, ( I feel like it was $400 tbh but...) [ok I asked bard about inflation and apparently 250 in 2002 would be about $420 at Dec 2023, LOL] so this price is pretty good deal imo even tho they seem pricey but whatever people gotta make money let me tell you, wearing those inserts was like golf balls in my shoes, and u know they make kids run at school, but I wore them, and wore them and wore them and they FIXED my feet bro fr, I was able to run faster, I lost excessive body fat because I was ABLE to enjoy running and playing as a kid, my posture improved, my mind improved etc. the list of positives goes on 20 years later I Found them again, meaning the same style, not sure of its the same brand I doubt it I have them in right now, Day 1 I stand up mostly at my desk and within 10 minutes I feel the effects of these inserts Lifting my tendons in my foot and its literally pulling all this other stuff into alignment Ive felt micro movements in my knees, my hips, my pelvis, my upper back, my sternum and even my teeth lol, might've gotten a bit nauseous , although that could be from typing all this lol I love these things, if I had Any complaint, its that I should've had these sooner. I hope my story encourages You to invest in your self; and your feet are SO important , like every part of you, but you know what I mean, so since you are using your feet EVERY DAY, I encourage these. might update the review later! im just so excited about this that I typed all this lol update as of may2,2024 It’s 2 AM and I found this review that I wrote that I kind of remember riding but it’s definitely way too much detail in this is cracking me up so I’m just gonna continue with this I still love these shoe inserts. 😆😆😆my right foot doesnt feel it anymore. i kinda miss the pain. my left foot feels it in the arch still. when i wake up , my two toes, left foot hurt for the first few steps of the day

Like many others, facing Plantar surgery was a bad idea (it needs to be banned). Thanks go to my chiropractor (a miracle in his own right), for saving me needless expense and worry (and pain). I also avoided the "mold to fit" orthotics (they aren't the best solution either), and was taught WHY these two methods don't work. The closest example I can give for Natural Foot Orthotics is the "original" 3/4 support Walk Fit, which sadly are hard to find now. This is finally a great solution to a long lasting, affordable orthotic insole for high arches.Instead of a bump under the heel (not good for PF sufferers), they cradle the heel with rounded support, and almost 1cm of lift, shifting the weight just a bit to the front of your foot. They are made well, and give just a little flex, thanks to the honeycomb support under the arch. This means they can go in a number of shoes, though I'd not recommend sandals, flops, or heels over 1". I have narrow feet with high arches, "dancer's feet," so if you have lower arches, I'd suggest the thinner model, also available here and on their company web site. (Note: If you are wearing heels, the weight shift alone could help your arch and pain some anyway, but you might consider one of the high heel supports, or just a good fitting pair of shoes in this case- this is a totally different article). When you start out, you will definitely feel these under your arch if they are doing their job, but you will get used to them. Be patient. My foot amazingly is now back to where it was when I went to college (two whole sizes smaller!), after years of pounding with not enough support under my arch. Patience has allowed me now to even wear sandals or flats now (with no support) for a limited amount of time. Customer support (even before purchasing) was excellent, and the warranty goes without saying. These are semi rigid, unlike some of the foam pads you can buy all over, so they are going to last, and provide real support (not just comfort). With support for Longitudinal and Transverse arches (you have 3), they even rival some of the more pricey (custom fit) orthotics costing 2-3x as much. You might still need something like those, but Natural Foot Orthotics are definitely worth it if they can save you from the molded inserts, or surgery. It's like the best of everything. Back and foot pain is already so much better, even after a week! Looks like a trip through the dishwasher or a quick scrub is all you'll need to clean these EVA supports. They are easy to move from shoe to shoe if you only have one, and slide easily into trainers, boots, or flats. You don't even need to remove any existing insoles from most shoes. (DISCLAIMER: I have NOT been reimbursed, paid, or received any compensation whatsoever for this review).

Excellent buy, fits good and takes care of foot pain. It's a bargain compared to whet the good feet store wanted to charge me.

I have been looking for something like this for a couple years since I bought some from the Good Feet store and paid $400, OUCH! I wanted to get another pair so even though they can be moved from shoe to shoe, personally I like to just be able to put on my shoes and go instead of having to fuss. The ones I got from the Good Feet store were good but after time I wondered if I should have a little more support. I could drive an hour to get replacements but I decided to try these instead. The pair I received did have a little more support but since I had been wearing the others it did not take long for them to feel comfortable. If you do invest in these I recommend that you follow the break in instructions otherwise you will be in a lot of pain. I think it only took me a couple of days because I had already been wearing the store bought ones so it was easier to adjust. I really like these and feel it was a great investment and cost savings. I have also found that in my experience these are quiet while walking. The store bought ones made is sound like I was farting every time I took a step so I tended to get looks sometimes when I walked across the office or in a store. I have also purchased some thin Gel insoles to go over these for added comfort. This way it does not raise the arch but provides comfort over the insert. I have not tried the slim fit style as I don't wear dress shoes but they appear, in my opinion that they may offer a little less support but that may work better for you especially if you wear dress shoes at all as these I would imagine would be tough to fit in a dress shoe. I can only speak as to how these fit in a tennis shoe so far but I believe they would work very well in winter boots and work boots as well. I am happy enough with these that I am going to purchase a second pair so that I have 2 pair that are the same and use the expensive ones in my cowboy boots or motorcycle shoes since both require something to fit a smaller footbed. Personally I found these to fit true to size & I wear a size 13 shoe. I can tell you from experience that most inserts for arch support may work initially but break down quickly and I have had little to no luck with them. With as expensive as most of them are you can actually end up saving money by purchasing these as they appear they are going to be long lasting plus they come with a lifetime warranty. Don't pay more to get less, give these a try. The above opinion is my own and I have not received anything from the seller for this review.

Based on the reviews, I had high hopes for these to cure my PF. They are my go-to orthotics in the shoes they will fit in (they have too big of a profile to fit flats or low heels without your heel slipping out with ever step). However I did find the first pair, which was my normal size, cut into the bottom of my mid-foot. They quickly sent me a replacement when I described the problem (great customer service!), which was a size smaller. These still dig in but not as bad, so I kept them. I was worried if I went any smaller, they wouldn't hit my arch in the right place. The reason for the 3 stars is that they have not improved my condition at all. In fact, since I've had these I got put in a cast for 4 weeks (which failed) and now I'm trying acupuncture (which also doesn't seem to be helping much). I continue to use these more than any others I own, because they're the most supportive for my high arch that I've found (I even prefer them to my custom orthotics I had made prior to trying these). But they aren't as comfortable as some other brands, and I may try to file down the end to stop them from digging into the bottom of my mid-foot. Also, I can't wear them to exercise in- they'd be too painful. And I continue to search for the cure...

I am new to inserts, found them this year. As a young man (32) I just started noticing I was getting knee pain through the day that was exasperated when doing things like going up stairs. That and realizing that my feet were just exhausted at the end of the day (to the point where I would try to minimize walking around at home) I knew something was up. It popped into my mind that this is probably a foot thing (life-long converse wearer). So I found a doctor scholles machine and they recommended some inserts. Popped those bad boys in and almost overnight things started getting better. They were my saving grace until a few months of wear I started noticing that I was developing athletes foot. This was not something I was used to and the turns out it was the Doctor Scholles inserts. They were padded and covered in fabric and thus were absorbing sweat daily. So I realized I needed to look for a hard plastic solution. The price was high and that almost scared me away. But then thinking about the downside of not having inserts and remembering the pain I figured it was worth a shot. Well like most young lads I tossed the instructions out with the box and shoved them in my shoes. For about 3 weeks it felt like I was walking on a golf ball. This was not fun and quite painful but I was hoping this would pass. This lead me to dig up the instructions for these inserts and realized you are supposed to work your way up to wearing them all day (doh). Now a few months later they are so comfortable. I have no pain in my knees, my feet dont get exhausted like they used to and I feel liberated. Pro: Works, removed pain, really comfortable when put underneath the cushion inserts that came with my shoes. Cons: Painful break-in period, slips out of place if you just toss them in a shoe with no cushion layer on top

37 years ago I bought my first pair of custom orthotics through a chiropractors office. I paid $160 and that was 37 years ago! Think about how much they would cost me today! I can tell you... it would be $300 to $500! I was in SO MUCH pain 37 years ago that I was going through a pair of shoes every three months to find relief. There wasn't any relief to be found. Then I ordered my custom made orthotics. It took about 2 weeks to break in my feet. I felt as if I was walking on 2 golf balls. It was NOT comfortable at all. My feet were realigning to the proper stance. But, after that break in time my foot pain was gone!!! Before the orthotics, my feet would both roll inwards and I was in constant pain. After wearing the orthotics and being on my feet all day I took off my shoes ad my feet no longer rolled in at all and ALL the pain was GONE!!! Much to my surprise... My chronic back pain also disappeared! I found out later that everything is connected to my proper stance. I am really excited about the Natural Foot Orthotics!!! They are much better quality than the pair I ordered 37 years ago. I like the perforated holes for air exchange. They are much cooler than my old pair. They are thicker and much more stable in my shoes. I LOVE THESE NATURAL FOOT ORTHOTICS!!! In fact, I bought a second pair right from the owner. (Ernie) I later learned from Ernie that these will actually be more effective than the custom orthotics that cost 3 times the price! By the way, this is a family owned business and has excellent customer service! These will most likely last my for the rest of my life. My old pair cost me less than 1 penny a day to END my foot pain! My new Natural Foot Orthotics will cost me less than 1/4 cent a day to END your foot pain FOREVER!!! Do NOT WAIT ANY LONGER to END your foot pain!!! This will be the BEST purchase of your lifetime!

These are ch supports are great so far . The fit nicely .Appear to be very durable . I like the thickness . Versatile enough to wear in any of my shoes .

Great quality with reasonable price, and the seller is highly professional and helpful, highly recommended for people with flat feet.

Very comfortable to wear.

Got immediate relief from plantar fasciitis pain and the pain didn't come back since then. Follow their instructions and your pain will be history. The cost is very high in India but it is worth every penny because it gives you back your mobility within days and the build quality ensures it'd last a lifetime.

Amazing product! I am a heavyset guy who takes long walks with his dog and as a salesman, I am constantly on my feet running around helping customers. I was in a lot of pain for the last two years. I tried everything including prescription orthotics. Four weeks with this product and I am pain-free. It takes time and some getting used to (with the golf ball feeling under your feet), but it will pay off. My posture is better, I am walking better and even when I'm not wearing it and am barefoot on hardwood floors, there is no pain. I will be buying a second pair for my other shoes. Highly recommended!

Amazing
