PowerStepPowerStep Pinnacle Maxx Orthotic Insoles - Orthotics for Overpronation with Maximum Stability & Comfort - Firm + Flexible Angled Heel Style to Help Flat Feet - Heavy Duty Inserts (M 4-4.5 W 6-6.5)

It's been tough reading through all of these reviews trying to make a solid choice for insoles. I had my 8th spinal surgery in April. I awoke with neuropathy so bad I couldn't walk. A high arch developed after two months post surgery. Doctors had nothing to help me and my condition was determined to be permanent.So I got to work. Supplements, pushing through the pain. I walked and walked and worked on projects even though I was almost totally disabled. Seven months later and I was just able to hunt. But, before I went my attention turned to insoles for relief. Could they make a difference in my pain and could I even be comfortable. The journey started.I've now bought; Birkenstock's, Power Step Pinnacle Maxx, Sof Soles Fit, Sole DK Response, Sole Softec Ultra, Forms, New Balance Stability and a couple of others that I don't remember.In order of relief (for me);1: Birkenstock Heeled Arch Supports (3/4 length). If you have a high arch as I do don't miss looking at these. They have superior support for the arch, heel (deepest heel cup) and metatarsal support is built right into the insole. They're especially useful in footwear without insoles. They work flawlessly in my Danner Rainforest hunting boots. Couldn't get any of the others to work in them. These can feel hard after a long day on them. Still, their fit is so worth it.2: Power Step Pinnacle Maxx. Put these in my Danner Radical 452 and it was a perfect match. I had to buy 2 sizes bigger to make sure my arch matched the Maxx's. I also wear these in my Clark's, Ahnu's, Merrill Jungle Mocs, Ecco's and MBT's. The Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx, overall, are my number one choice. Major relief from pain. Wonderful support and great cushioning.3: Sole Softec Ultra. Probably the best built of all of the insoles I've tried. No doubt, they'll last a long time. Not using these yet because I ordered my shoe size...wrong! I tried them in my proper size and the arches didn't line up. They were very uncomfortable. I'm awaiting a shipment two sizes larger than my shoe size. Then we'll see. For now my impression is they're not supportive enough. The heel and arch are made of a semi rigid EVA material. The only way they'll work is if I attach something under the arch to prop it up. The heat molding does little good if they're not high enough in the first place or if you need a more rigid support which I do. Well made but, so far, they don't work for me. This holds true for the DK Response too.4: Solf Sole Fit. Good firm arch support but the forward part of the insoles is a soft EVA foam only that, I believe will breakdown quickly. Already is for my wife in just several weeks.5: New Balance Stability. Everything was wrong about these for my feet. Not enough support in the heel or arch. The heel cup was thick yet not deep so they took up too much space in my shoes. They had a metatarsal pad built in but, for me, in the wrong place.6: Forms. They fit quite well, had a sturdy arch and heel cup but are surprisingly thick. Very well made though. Needed two sizes larger to get the arch to align. Opted not to go ahead with these when i found the Power Step Maxx.I'll be settling with the Power Step Pinnacle Maxx and the Birkenstock's. I also purchased the Power Step metatarsal pads and they too made a nice difference in the Maxx's. They're small but let me tell you, with proper positioning, they can have a very positive affect on how your feet feel.Good luck in your search. Don't be afraid to ignore the sizes and fit the insole to your arch. You may have to trim them but for me it was the difference between great relief or none at all.

Never quite sure certain whether full length shoe inserts are going to fit. I ordered the size 9 Men's and they fit all of my shoes perfectly - ranging from 8M to 9M. They are very comfortable and supportive. Appear to be of high quality.

Prior to using these, I was using a Sof Sole Athlete Insole in a pair of Brooks Ghost 12's which provided a decent amount of stability, but degraded over time. Decided to spend around twice the price on these guys and good lord what a difference. I added these to a brand new pair of Brooks Ghost 15's and I have never felt more stable or comfortable in a pair of shoes in my entire life. These have eliminated all of my pain from my knees and ankles to the plantar fasciitis in my feet. They have dramatically reduced my over-pronation to the point that it's almost non-existent and they make me want to keep my shoes on instead of immediately take them off for the first time ever. Can not recommend these enough!

feet are comfortable - significantly less foot pain

Fit perfectly, support my high arches, and keep my feet from rolling inward. I have bought several pairs of these and have in all my shoes. They are much, much better than prescription inserts I paid way more to have.

The socks are are well made and hold up well. The Max has a higher arch than the regular Powerstep.

I have worn custom orthotics for a long time for my flat feet and overpronation. I decided to give over the counter ones a try due to the improvement in my feet and legs and my podiatrist agreed. These were not the ones he recommended but they were on my radar to try. The ones he suggested were another major brand that were perfect in every way but they were just too wide and stretched out my running shoes. Otherwise they felt better than any custom ones I have ever had. Due to the width issue I decided to give this brand a try. These Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx were just a slight bit wide but overall fit great in the shoe. But sadly I got no comfort from them. I did not feel maximum support, in no way felt the needed firmer arch support they advertise and the angled exterior heel did nothing for me under my arch and all the other built in features actually made my issues worse. The orthotics felt very soft with the padding under my feet which I don't mind but my overpronation was much worse in these. Honestly I just felt no max support which is what I need. I am seeing my podiatrist again in a few weeks. I need to see how he feels about the other ones that were too wide. Other than that that brand provided maximum support under my arch, held my feet in place and really provided the care I needed. I was hoping for at least some of that with the Pinnacle Maxx but did not get it. If he feels due to the width the others are not good I will need to go custom again. These Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx are highly rated and reviewed and with them making matters worse I may need to stop trying to make orthotics made for everyone fit to my individual feet. I am giving these 3 stars for they did not work for me but they certainly deserve an average score for they may indeed work for you. Everyone's feet and issues are different and there is no quick fix. All over the counter orthotics should be dealt with seriously and eased into in case they are bad for your feet and to avoid any trauma. Sadly I got shin splints from the Pinnacle Maxx. And I tried them just a few hours a day. So I recommend them with the caution that should be applied to all over the counter orthotics and be aware they may not work out for you.

I order these for my son - he’s on his feet all day long doing shopping center repairs and maintenance.I replace about every 6 months. He says they help his knees and feet from hurting so much.Pretty good for supports that aren’t custom ones.

Muy buen producto, muy recomendable, casi imperceptible la incomodidad de los primeros días, posteriormente es como si las hubie usado toda la vida

For me these are the best insoles I could find till now and I am sorry that they are often not available and if take so long to arrive.

Good value for money

Produto disinto que parece, no es Pinnacle Max, es Azulo Original! Estafa!

Love these orthotic inserts so much I purchased them twice and even for my boyfriend. Fits perfect to size and very supportive
