VALSOLE Orthotic Insole High Arch Foot Support Soft Medical Functional Insoles, Insert for Severe Flat Feet,Plantar Fasciitis,Feet Pain, Foot Valgus for Man and Woman (4.5-5 UK-240mm, Blue)

My husband has various issues with his feet and has been using these footbeds for about 5 years obviously not the same pair, replacing as needed. They give him great support and have helped with the aches and pains that problem feet produce. I would definitely recommend.

This is supposed to be just a product review, but I can't help to put some extra input. I can only guess, namely those who look for orthotics are going through various pains and aches and seek relief. I know exactly what it's like to have a foot problems and have pretty ruined feet myself. Short leg, which is a result of osteoarthritis. Consequently postural imbalance, collapsed arch on my left foot which pronates and puts extra strain onto my right foot (see the wear on the photo). NHS is not very helpful and they give you some cheap memory foam soles, which make situation worse. I also bought expensive custom orthotics. None of them eliminate problems. And bear in mind there is a wear and tear, so soon you'll need to purchase a new set or multiples for different footwear / occasions. So what to do? First you need to learn about your body and what works for you. You could do gait analysis. But you can also learn a lot from observing your walking, running, feet placement, posture, shoe wear etc. As with everything it is a combination of multiple factors. Unfortunately you cannot reverse these problems, but try to make it bearable. Loosing weight will greatly help and so the regular exercise; theres is plenty online instructions designed for feet related issues. The inserts themselves are comfortable, well build, with good materials, decent thickness, good absorption especially the heel cup. I've worn the one in the photo for about 7 months and must say they withstand the abuse quite well. They do not slip inside the shoe. No funny smells despite sweat. Make sure that you choose the correct type (high / low arch, wide / narrow) in the correct footwear. For instance if you want to raise arch but then your shoes are quite narrow and already have raised arch it may not work as the sole wont align into the shoe bed and will cause you extra discomfort, compression, tilting etc.. What I am trying to say there isn't a miracle product which will work for everyone and everywhere. Therefore you'll need to experiment. Overtime due the changes of the biomechanics you'll more likelybuy a different design / type of the inserts and swap your footwear.

Surprising good. I parked them for a while thinking they were too soft in the middle. But they actually work, only thing they might be a bit too arched. But it also then depends on how you place them in your sure. They are ok really. Good quality.

Very comfortable insoles.

Comfortable enough in trainers. Far too wide for dress shoes.

I used this product for nearly 3 years and have no issue with them. My story: I had plantar fasciitis ongoing for years but the only treatment that removed the pain was shockwave therapy, not insoles or trainers. However before the treatment I tried the Asics Nimbus 25 two years ago, it is a neutral design but has massive foam /gel added to the sole and it felt like massive relief for some going through the pain. I continued to use it but added this product which reinforced the support. After I had the shockwave therapy few months later, I continued with this support but also bought a second one. I am happy to recommend this product. To use it properly, remove existing insole and replace with this one.

I’ve bought lots of insoles and I find these very comfortable and have a nice firm and high arch support. I’m a farmer so I wear them daily so far (2 weeks) so good with these insoles

I learned the hard way that walking barefoot on my wooden floors isn't good for my feet. From nowhere I started getting pain in the metatarsal area of my left foot. At the time of typing, this product is pretty much the only reason I'm able to walk. It's still agony but made a lot more bearable. For long term wear I'm not sure about the quality, but if I have to buy more, I will.
