Spenco Total Support Max Shoe Insoles, Women's 11-12/Men's 10-11

I was skeptical. I've been suffering from foot pain for the better part of a year and had a feeling it was plantar fasciitis, though I've not bothered wasting a doctor's time to tell me what I'm fairly certain it is. I've used 3 other inserts and none have been effective in reducing the pain. I always felt like there just wasn't enough padding to support me standing all day at work. These ones are... odd. They aren't any more padded than any of the other inserts I've used. In fact, the hard arch support feels much, well, harder than anything I've used, even inserts that market themselves as having arch support. It took me about a week of discomfort before my feet got used to these things. And I mean serious discomfort. Once I adapted to using them, though, night and day difference. The pain from standing and walking, even after I get home and take my shoes off, has decreased significantly compared to before. That in and of itself makes them worth the money. Only minor complaint is that they don't completely fill my shoe. I wear a size 12 and there's a gap of a couple millimeters between the edge of the insert and the edge of the shoe. I do notice this sometimes when walking but it's not a deal breaker. Just something to bear in mind if you have large feet.

Replaced a pair of worn out Superfeet with these, and I was very pleased with the results. For the first week or two, there was about a 10 minute "adjustment period" every time I put them on -- the arch area is higher than I am used to, so it took some time to get accustomed to it. After about a week, the additional support felt natural. Quality wise, the material used is great, and I was surprised by the amount of padding. Both the heel and mid toe area have an extra layer of cushioning compared to what I usually see with Superfeet, and the additional support and comfort is noticeable. Only downside is that since the arch support is so high and firm, I am not sure if I would use these insoles for extended running. For everyday walking, they're perfect. Overall, I definitely would say these are a fantastic insole addition.

Fui aun podólogo deportivo. Me hizo todo el estudio biomecánico y concluyó que todos mis problemas eran por falta de soporte. Me diseño unas plantillas a medida pero tardan 30 días en llegar, mientras decidi probar estas de Spenco y el resultado es impresionante. Son extremadamente cómodas, no noto dolor ni presión en la planta y eso que son de arco alto, pero amortiguan y están bien acolchadas. En mi caso, que tengo pie valgo el resultado es perfecto. Las compararé con las personalizadas cuando lleguen, pero mientras son una gran ayuda. Mi recomendación, vayan con un podólogo deportivo si tienen problemas severos, yo llegué a romperme el meniso corriendo, por falta de sujeción y eso afecta desde el pie a la cadera.

This is the 1st pair of Total Support Max I've bought. The previous 3 were Total Support Original, which have been great. These feel a bit firmer and maybe the arch support is a little higher; a bit hard to tell. Still very supportive but not quite as comfortable as the Originals as far as I'm concerned.
