Dr. Frederick's OriginalDFO Arch Support Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis Relief - 6Pcs - High Arch Support Inserts for Flat Feet - for Men & Women - Can be Worn with Shoes - Better Than Foot Brace

So I'm not sure why these only have 3.5 stars???I've got an extremely high arch. I was a Bellerina on toe shoes for many many years. That being said I do believe being born with an unnaturally high arch as it is being on toe shoes for years not only destroyed my feet and caused my arches to be even higher!!! (No I would NOT change being a pro-dancer for much of my life! I Loved it) I'm not a dancer anymore life has a way of sneaking up on you and before you know you're in your 40's ⬆️ and a Granny of three Beautiful Granddaughters! Yes we have our hands full! Anyway, sorry I'm a rambler lol!I've got serious back issues and had to have surgery that fixed the problem while simultaneously giving me another problem.I secretly wish I'd NEVER had my back surgery at all! Even tho we're not sure what could have happened had I not had the surgery, possibly wheelchair. I was also in an extremely abusive relationship for too many years. There was a cyst on my spine the docs were pretty sure was my spinel fluid leaking from trauma.. My body created a wall to contain it. It would have more than likely continued to grow as the pain kept increasing to a point my only other option was mad RX drugs! And NO thank you! I know too many people that have developed a habit from taking the same meds to control pain! My body is very battered but not broken! It kills me every day knowing what my body was once capable of. We all get old! Do NOT beat yourself up over that! Is what I tell myself on the daily! I've lived A Lot in my years. So not only do I have back problems, I've got neuropathy and mental illness but we won't get into all that lol! My feet ache if I don't have support. Let's face it most women's shoes don't have adequate support unless you pay a fortune and then they're not always the cutest. Until now! These arch inserts are Amazing! Mine have to be in a weird spot bc of how high my arches are but they do the trick! I can now wear my cute sandals that don't have much support! Having the correct arch support has made a difference in my days! One wouldn't think just adding some support to shoes could make such a difference! These arches are for a HIGH Arch! If you do not have high arches these will hurt your feet! For me they could be just a touch higher but they work as is! My back pain is greatly reduced, my feet don't ache just standing in place or walking to the coffee store a few blocks down from work when I'm exhausted! They've made a Great improvement in my life! If you've got high arches you will Love these! This is a little tip I learned. Since these stick best on your 1st use wipe your shoe and BEFORE you peel this off the plastic align them w/your arch to figure out where you'll need to place it in your shoe. Then try your shoe on and get an idea of where your arch is in your shoe. I use a pen to make a Very small mark on the side of my shoe where my arch is. Place your arches in and boom! You've got much more comfort in the shoes you've been wishing you could wear!Even with shoes that already have footbed support everyone's arches sit differently. Some even bug me if the support isn't in the right spot I get shooting nerve pain up my foot. It's not the best feeling! I use these arches in some of those kind of shoes as well!I hope all my rambling has helped.Thank You for making these arch supports! I'm a customer for life!

My only issue was my foot became sweaty on top of the support and I was wearing sandals and my foot turned in the sandal. I think I need a fabric kind. My feet don't usually sweat so I think it was just the material. My feet were sore the first few days but survivable. They are not really sandal friendly if you are wearing the type of sandal that is shaped like an insole if that makes sense. It takes up the entire mid section of the sandal making it hard to walk and uncomfortable, for me anyway. But it all in all it did the job I may only use again if I need.

Stays in place, sticks well, and provides great arch support. A god send if you have plantar fascitis but still love to wear cute shoes. I've only tried them in flats, I'm curious how they'd do in sandals.

They help give support but the adhesive doesn't hold well in cloth shoes.

I needed high arch support. I do a fair amount of walking at my job. Having no arch support in my shoes was causing pain to my ankles. I was hoping these were the answer. They were not. They were so uncomfortable and painful. I thought I just had to break them in or something. After I took them off and drive home, I could barely walk. My poor arches hurt so bad. Definitely do not recommend.

These work wonderfully well! They are for high arches! I FINALLY found some that work in all shoes and I can wear dress shoes again!On top of that the company is INCREDIBLE! So helpful and caring!I love these and the company!!

Arch supports are comfortable, but they are lacking sufficient adhesive hold. The adhesive seems to hold for one or two wearing, then it just slides around inside shoe.

A lot of people are complaining these hurt their feet. Iet me assure you. These do not hurt your feet if you have high arches. they barely touch mine and give a little comfort.If people are saying they hurt their feet, those people are buying high arch support and don't actually have high arches. They are ignorant. Ignore them. Go to a store that sells running shoes that can do a free scan of your foot and they will tell you if you high arches or not. Then order the right product.I have extremely high arches. These bad boys are 1 cm thick (.4 inches). They barely touch my arches and give me a little bit of support and its super comfortable.Thanks for the good product. I just tried mine today for an hour. Will update later if there is any discomfort.
