Pedag Viva Mini Orthotic with Semi-Rigid Arch Support, Metatarsal & Heel Pad, Leather, Tan, US W9/EU39

I have an array of foot issues including a broken sesamoid, a bunion and neuromas. Yes, I'm a mess, and I still put several miles of running on my feet each week. I've worn 3/4 length custom-molded orthotics for years which offer some relief for the bunion, but they don't have any metatarsal support at all, and they cost me hundreds of dollars per pair. Increasing foot pain made me think my active days were numbered... until I discovered Pedag. I really thought surgery was the only option for my left neuroma (my podiatrist said as much), but the metatarsal arch in their orthotics has completely eliminated my pain while I'm wearing them. Since discovering the wonder that is the Viva Mini, I have spent a small fortune on Pedag products including the Lady, the Drop, the Active Life kit (3 orthotics), and the T-form, but every cent has been well worth it. I've tried many varieties of Dr. Scholls, Happy Feet, and other orthotics over the years, and they don't even come close to the quality and effectiveness of Pedag. I sound like an advertisement, but I have no association with Pedag -- I'm just a complete convert.

My youngest daughter has flat feet. We have always used Pedag insoles. She is transitioning from the Pedag child arch supports, so I purchased these. They are thin, which is nice. I selected the 3/4 length so that she would a little have room in her shoes as far as length goes. She has been using them with athletic shoes every school day for about 2 weeks. I take them with us when shoe shopping in order to get the proper fit. So far, she likes them even better than her previous arch supports. The previous arch supports by Pedag lasted a while, so I expect these to last as well. Based on their performance so far, I would recommend them to others and buy them again myself.

These felt pretty good overall, though I still had some heel pain but I think they helped with my metatarsalgia pain. I actually don't like the sticky part on the heel because I want to be able to use them in multiple shoes, but it leaves sticky stuff on the shoe and makes a popping sound as I walk. I've only had them for a week but unfortunately my dog just completely destroyed one of the insoles. He never chews on anything so maybe because the insoles are leather they smelled enticing? I left him unattended for a short time, but somehow he removed the insole from my tennis shoe and tore it apart. Wish I could get a replacement.

I was initially impressed by the stability of the product but quickly disillusioned by the fact that the red pad under the heel came off only after 30 minutes of wearing it and also that there is a sticker that is supposed to keep things in place but is quickly worn off therefore leaving the orthotic loose in open type shoes...these may be best used in enclosed shoes not in open sandal type shoes (which is what I wanted to use them for).

Exactly what I have been looking for. I've had othotics in my shoes since I was a toddler. I stopped wearing arch supports for 40 years and boy did my feet, knees, and back take a beating. I tried one pair of these and I feel like a new person. After wearing them for 2 days I placed an order for another 2 pairs. I gave a set to my 88 year old mother and they have helped tremendously with her balance issues.

I tried these in shoes with a small (1") heel, and they were so slippery that my feet slid forward and my toes were squished. They may work better in flat shoes--I have not yet tried that.

I have used these for years to mitigate pain from a Morton's Neuroma. A couple needed replacing. I like that they are not full-foot length, as this gives my toes extra room. I use them in addition to a small felt metatarsal pad I stick on my foot. These were originally recommended by a podiatrist. I have several I move from one pair of shoes to another and wear them almost all the time.

These insoles are amazing! Perfect for shoes and sandals; wearing in my boots now.I have flattened arches which cause my feet to hurt terribly. These insoles have great arch support and cushioning for the balls of feet too.Highly recommend

And these saved me! I went for a 5k snow shoeing run and I FELT NO PAIN!!!!I was at a point where I couldn't go for a long walk, some days, not even a short one. I transfer them from one pair of boots to another without any problem. Shipping was long and costly, yet, I recommend them highly!!!

Me gusta este producto. Solo que siento que el botón del talón se aplasta muy rápido con mi pisada.
