FootActive COMFORT Premium Insoles, 9/10.5 UK, Blue

Excellent insoles, very comfortable. Make it possible to walk longer considering my heel and back pain.

I always knew I overpronated as the insides of my shoe soles would wear down first but I didn't see it as a massive problem and looking at insoles I was put off by spending around £20 on something I didn't think I needed. Recently I've started experience knee pain, and bad pain on the balls of my feet with some skin splitting. I was about to head to the doctors for help and also spend money on seeing a podiatrist, before I did, I thought, why not try orthotic insoles? The change is incredible, just a few days in, no more pain and my feet are heeling up. Also 1. I always thought i was just clumsy and never felt perfectly steady on my feet (never mastered the art of wearing heels and always joke that 'if i think about walking too hard I fall over'), with the insoles I suddenly feel very sturdy and balanced and my length of stride has even improved and 2. my posture has drastically improved, I believed I was just a natural slumper and needed to put more effort into standing up straight and walking tall. Turns out, it wasn't will power I was lacking but correct alignment. Now I'm naturally standing/walking with good posture and it would take effort to slump rather than vice versa. They insoles themselves take a little bit of getting used to so build up the time you spend walking with them but, if, like me, you have even the slightest concern about your posture / pronation, do not hesitate. it will likely be the best investment you can make for healthy feet and joints.

They fit perfectly a shoe size 13. I've had these insoles for several days and walked quite a lot. I actually have plantar fasciitis - even though it's on the mend - so I was very curious about the effects. I've used them with two completely different types of shoes: normal laced walking shoes, and trainers. The results are astoundingly different based on the shoe type. In the standard shoes the insoles proved to be beneficial and actually relieved the strain on the plantar. It took me a while to adjust, but I finally like the arch support. Being made entirely of foam the support is perceptible but balanced. Then I tried the same insoles in trainers, and went for a long walk in the park. When I started to feel the pain it was too late to go back and I had to endure it for several hours. It was very painful and it actually set me back in my process of healing the fasciitis. In both cases I had removed the original insoles before applying these ones. I then realised that the massive difference was due to the inner shape of the shoe: the standard walking shoes have a completely flat sole, while the trainers have a slight arch support area. That tiny additional pressure due to the existing arch proved to be way to much and it compressed my plantar producing a sharp pain on every step. In conclusion, you might benefit from these insoles, or actually find them painful: check carefully the shape of the soles of your shoes before buying these insoles. I would also consider trying with a cheaper product, which might provide the same performance, because these ones do seem quite overpriced.

I was recently diagnosed as having Plantar Fasciitis. The doctor advised anti inflammatory gel, massage and insoles or good supportive shoes. I purchased a pair of 3/4 insoles from the limited selection in a local chemist store. They did give relief, but I found that they moved inside my shoe. Although not entirely successful they did prove that insoles could quickly relieve the pain - I just needed to find better quality, full insoles. It was while I was searching for a foot massager on Amazon that I came across the FootActive brand. I ordered these and also another cheaper brand. The FootActive ones were the first ones to arrive. I'm on my feet all the time I'm at work in a warehouse, so I put them in my work safety shoes. The relief was instant and I felt an improvement in my general posture too! When the cheaper insoles arrived I noticed that the main difference was that the arch support was not quite as high or firm as the FootActive ones, but they were perfectly OK for my general shoes. The FootActive ones will stay in my work shoes, where my feet need the most help. The instructions do suggest that initially, wear them for a couple of hours at a time, to get used to them. I did not find this necessary. At first the arch support does feel high, but after a few minutes, once my shoes and feet have warmed, they feel very comfortable.

Despite finding it hard to put in on my shoes at first it still managed to fit in and didn’t come off. The insoles did feel comfortable at first, that was until the blue soft fabric started peeling off (however this did happen after a year).i have flat feet and did have some pain after wearing my shoes, but I can say the insoles have helped.The main reason I bought the insoles was to prevent the soles of my shoes from tilting over time(an issue I faced previously) ,these insoles haven’t really helped with that my soles have still gotten damaged. Overall a good product to minimise pain from flat feet, but it only lasts a year and your soles still tilt.

I'm onto my fifth pair having used these for the last ten years or so. I've bought both more expensive and cheaper insoles which either don't fit properly or wear out after only a few months but these are really great. They are comfortable, supportive [I have raised arches] last for about two years and I like to put in a five mile walk most days. Highly recommended.

As someone who has tried numerous insoles, I must say that these are in a league of their own. This is my second purchase, with the first pair lasting me a solid couple of years and still going strong. Working long hours on my feet in a kitchen environment has always taken a toll on my feet, leading to discomfort and pain along the arch due to overpronation. However, these insoles have resulted in a big improvement. They're lightweight, comfortable, and offer fantastic support. I've noticed a significant reduction, almost to zero, in the discomfort I used to experience throughout the day. These insoles have effectively addressed my overpronation, providing great support to my feet. This all results in a markedly more comfortable day on my feet, making work far less taxing. If you're seeking relief from foot discomfort or overpronation, these insoles are truly first-rate.

I had custom-made soles made by a podiatrist but needed a new pair urgently. Since these ones are one piece, I think it'll be much easier to place them in different pairs of shoes without damaging them too much. I initially bought them to put them in my walking shoes but finally used them in some Vans slip-ons while travelling abroad for 4 days. I had no pain at all although I walked a LOT, so they work just as well as the one I got from a podiatrist ! I felt very pleased about it, since it means I can buy more in the future with no worry. I'd like to try the ones fit for the gym next. One default I would say : my UK feet size is between 7.5 (trainers, boots) and 8 (sandals, leather city shoes). I bought a medium size which is from 7 to 8.5 but ended cutting to size 7. So the soles might be a bit too long by default ? I might have to buy a smaller size in hope for them to fit inside my walking shoes which have a lot more padding inside.

Very good, and comfortable, would buy again

Ayant développé une aponévrose de la voute plantaire dû certainement à la pratique de la course à pieds (et mauvaise hydratation! aussi :-), j'avais de grosses douleurs sous le pieds lors de la marche , et courrir était devenu impossible. J'ai utlisé ces semelle dans mes chaussures de boulots et magie, douleur apaisée lors de la marche, pieds bien enveloppé, et semelle assez épaisse pour amortir les chocs, je revivais !! Aujourd'hui cela fait plus d'un an que je les ai, elle ne se sont pas abimées, utilisable à mon avis encore un an (il faut dire que je les mets quasiment tous les jours avec soit basket de ville , soit bottes pour le boulot) je ne peux plus m'en passer, je ne conçoit plus de marcher sans ces semelles qui sont vraiment d'un confort sans égal! (et pour avoir testé plusieurs types de produits avant!). Après quelques bon mois de repos (c'est à dire plus de course à pieds durant quatre à cinq mois minimum! rien ne sert de vouloir aller trop vite), acheté de cette même marque les semelles pour le sport, là encore c'est le pieds! top! J'ai repris la course (bon pas comme un malade non plus), les chocs sont très bien amortis, mes pieds bien protégés, un plaisir et un soulagement! Elles valent leur prix, je recommande!

plantari disegnati da podologi australiani, distribuiti pero' da azienda inglese. Consigliati per fascite plantare e spina calcaneare, la prima è un'infiammazione della parte inferiore del tallone mentre la seconda è causata dalla pronazione del piede che causa un abbassamento dell'arco longitudinale. Sono consigliate inoltre per problemi alla schiena, alle ginocchia, al tendine di achille e per la metatarsalagia, dolore localizzato nella parte anteriore del piede, riferito specialmente alle teste metatarsali, appena prima delle dita. Grazie a questi plantari si ammortizza non solo il tallone ma viene supportato anche l'arco longitudinale, in modo che il piede riconquisti la sua posizione naturale. I plantari non sostituiscono il medico ma possono diminuire dolori e disagi nella camminata. Per alleviare i sintomi si consiglia anche di fare esercizi specifici, ridurre attivita' sportiva e lavorativa su superfici dure, applicare borsa di ghiaccio su zona dolorante per 5-10 minuti tre o quattro volte al giorno. Tutte queste info ed altre le trovate all'interno degli opuscoli. Esistono sia i modelli a mezzo piede che modelli a piede intero (vedere foto). Le solette vanno inserite all'interno delle scarpe togliendo eventuali solette estraibili a secondo del tipo di calzatura, altrimenti vanno messe sopra le solette gia' esistenti. Io ho acquistato taglia M 42-43 per scarpa taglia 43, pero' ho testato il funzionamento anche per scarpe 45. Le solette mezzo piede è possibile utilizzarle anche in scarpe leggermente piu' grandi o piccole, cosa che invece non si puo' fare con quelle intere. Le consiglio vivamente, risultano veramente efficaci e ci permettono di utilizzare le nostre vecchie paia di scarpe senza doverle gettare nella spazzatura. Per chi invece non ha di questi problemi, una soluzione sono le scarpe skechers, morbide e avvolgenti che possono essere utilizzate senza plantari.

Tout d'abord un grand merci à tous celles et ceux qui ont pris un peu de leur temps pour laisser une évaluation sur ces semelles et qui m'ont incitée à les essayer. Je les porte à présent depuis quinze jours et je n'ai plus de douleurs sous la voûte plantaire. Ainsi je sors d'une galère qui dure depuis 6 mois. A la différence des semelles prescrites par le podologue que je ne suis pas arrivée à adapter et qui engendrait des douleurs persistantes, ces semelles conviennent parfaitement à ma problématique, à savoir des pieds creux ainsi qu'un pied allant vers l'intérieur et l'autre allant vers l'extérieur. Je chausse un 38 et j'ai pris la plus petite taille sans avoir besoin de découper. Compte tenu de l'épaisseur de la semelle, prévoir au moins une demi-pointure de plus pour les chaussures.

Super ,je souffre d'une épine calcanéenne et ne croyez guère à ce genre de produit et pourtant cela cest avéré efficace immédiatement. Quel plaisir. Par contre le transporteur nul ,Colis Privé fais croire qu'il et passé vous livrer mais c'est faux et dépose 3 jours plus tard votre colis en point relais. Ce n'est pas la première fois que ce transporteur me fais le coup.
