Spenco Total Support Max Shoe Insoles - Orthotic Metatarsal Arch Support Inserts - Absorbs Shock, Reduces Over-Pronation, Conforms to Foot Contours, Deep Heel Cupping Men's 14-15.5

I have flat feet and severely overpronate. I have worn custom orthotics for about 10 years but as I got more athletic and fit those orthotics wit the style made stopped working. I was actually in more pain when wearing the orthotics than barefoot. I lost a lot of weight and am more fit that I have ever been., Went to a new podiatrist who automatically talked me into getting her $400 custom orthotics and she wanted me in the Brooks Beast. In no way would listen that I was not comfortable at all. So got a refund and off to an orthopedic surgeon who finally had answers and #1 for him was Spenco Total Support Insoles. I wear a neutral New Balance running shoe and he said the problem had been I had been buying shoes to fit the orthotic and it should be the other way around. The moment I stood on these insoles in his office I felt support and comfort. We trimmed them to size and my feet have been granted a new life. I get such support, stability and comfort from these orthotics. Honestly better than I ever got from custom orthotics.It is important to note these are not orthotics to be worn just for comfort. They are strong, durable and rigid meant to provide that needed support for the overpronator. There is rigid arch support with a deep heel cup that has a ton of cushioning. When I started wearing these I felt so great I exercized and walked ant least 5 miles a day for a week and overdid it. Needed a short break before easing back in. With any new orthotic you must give them a break in period. And as I said I get more support and comfort with these than with $400 custom orthotics. Another note, when I first wore these they squeaked which I read was a common thing with new orthotics. I put some moleskin under the heel which silenced it some but they just needed to be worn in and now the squeak is fully gone. I am rather stunned at what a high end product these are and also how durable. I have been suffering with pain for no one would help me get the correct orthotic and understand what I truly need. Till this doctor. Finally no more pain and no more buying product after product to try. But remember don't overdo at first and ease into these. These are very structured with a lot of support. But they will help. Let your feet and body adjust. I can't recommend them enough.

I have small feet (7), high arches, and have a deformed hip and right foot points out about 80 degrees. Also put a lot of pressure on the balls of my feet. Great support in arch. Cushioning for ball of foot. Heel cup is perfect.

After trying many different insoles for my husband, I'm pretty certain that the Spenco Total Support Max insole is one of the best otc insoles out there. I can't tell you how many different types of insoles I've purchased for him as he has suffered for quite some time with the outer edge of his foot hurting him. After I felt the firm arch area of these orthotics, I wasn't sure if my husband was going to tolerate them. He has always walked on the outside of his feet and has suffered from a lot of back pain and the first day that he wore these, I was sure he would take them off and complain that they hurt his feet, but he didn't!! He said they felt good and that his back was hurting way less than ever before, and he wasn't limping from foot pain either....even after a 10 hr work day in steel toed boots. When he first tried these on, I noticed right away how much better his posture looked and then he looked at me in total astonishment by how correct his feet were positioned and how good they felt.I should note that he has medium to high arches.I suffer from plantar fasciitis and a Morton's neuroma on my right foot, a callous ( or undiagnosed bone spur) on the ball of this foot, and I've also broken the same foot in two different places on two separate occasions. I also have high arches. These inserts have great arch support and they are a full foot insole, which it's what we prefer. My arches weren't sore after wearing these in my work boots all day, that area felt great...I do wish that they had more padding in the ball of the foot area, but that was only an issue with my problematic right foot, as I have no complaints with the left foot. After about 6 or 7 hours my 2nd and 3rd toes were slightly pained by my neuroma, but not as much as they have been on prior occasions. These insoles did not make my shoes tighter, nor did they cause the top area to feel snug. My work boots are big to begin with and even after inserting these they are still very roomy. I don't think they take up much room at all.Both myself and my husband will continue to wear these.

The best I have ever worn. This was recommended to me by a friend. Glad I listened.

I have placed a pair in every sport shoe/sneakers I have. Better than custom made orthotics, they alleviate plantar fasciitis and ball of foot pain. Was using super feet green insoles but find these have sturdier arch support. They are not bulky and shoe remains true to size when inserting. They do not require a break-in period. Was purchasing from an athletic shoe supplier but my size was always sold out. Amazon carries a nice selection of sizes.

I have plantar fasciitis pain and wear prescription orthotics in my work shoes; however, those tend to be on the stiffer side and don't feel great with walking shoes that have more cushioning. These inserts, although they cost a bit more than others I've tried, are the best fit so far for my feet and feel very comfortable with my walking shoes without the stiffness of the prescription orthotics.
