PowerStep Pinnacle Insoles - Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis Relief – Made in USA Orthotic Insoles for Arch Support with Moderate Pronation - #1 Podiatrist Recommended (M 12-13)

Purchased these for my son who kept having ankle and foot pain. I popped these in his sneakers, I did not have to cut or adjust them in anyway. He has not complained about pain since. They support his feet really well and put him back in alignment. They are not super hard so they are comfortable to wear. He did not need a "break-in" period with them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Going to get an additional pair. These have already been helpful in alleviating my pain. Been swapping the pair around between my boots and golf shoes. Wore them on the course and my feet were so much better by days end. Good sturdy support.

Felt pretty good overall. Still have some foot pain but it’s me and not the inserts. I think they will be a big help.

Excellent Quality and as Described

super comfortable, is soft while supports your arc

I recently tried the PowerStep Pinnacle insoles, and honestly, they’re a game-changer for anyone on their feet a lot. I deal with mild plantar fasciitis, and these provided solid arch support right out of the box—no break-in needed. The dual-layer cushioning feels plush but not mushy, and the semi-rigid shell keeps my feet stable without being too stiff. I swapped them into my work boots and sneakers, and they fit both perfectly, no trimming required. After a week of 10-hour days, my heel pain was noticeably down, and my knees didn’t ache like usual. They’re also pretty durable—I’ve had mine for a couple of months with no signs of wear. Overall, highly recommend for anyone needing legit support without custom orthotic prices. The functionality is perfect! The thickness requires the removable of old inserts.

These are the real deal. I tried some cheaper alternatives and they worked ok, but after about a month or so they started to hurt my feet again. I tried Dr scholls 24 hour energy and those were awful for my feet. I had them in for 3 days and it was worse than with the worn insoles. I decided to do some research and give these a try. Day 3 and my pain is almost entirely gone in the mornings. I feel energized and can keep on going for 10-12 hours on concrete in my work boots. Come home and my feet don’t hurt. These are pricey but so far these have been the best insoles I’ve had to date. Best part… pick your size and no trimming required. Just slide them in and you’re ready to go.

An ex-football player past his prime (6'3", 360 lbs, size 13D, medium arch), I was recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. My orthopedist recommended daily stretching exercises and Orthoheel slippers to wear indoors (no more walking around in socks). What a difference! The slippers and exercises lessened my symptoms from the start and, over time, eliminated most of my discomfort, so I decided to find some orthotic inserts to improve my street shoes.So far, I've tested:1. Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support2. Aetrex Copper Medium Arch3. Spenco Polysorb Total Support4. Superfeet Copper DMP5. Powerstep Pinnacle6. Powerstep Pinnacle Proeach for two hours' total walking time over a few days in two pairs of my favorite shoes: New Balance 606 hikers and Cole Haan loafers with Nike Air.Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Extra Support: Advertised for big & tall men, they didn't do much for me. While the extra cushioning helped at first, it helped less and less the longer I walked on them. I mentioned this to my orthopod and he told me the key to managing PF is not cushioning, it's support. Grade: DSpenco Polysorb Total Support: Remembering my doc's advice, I chose these for the rigid heel cup and arch support. Though quite comfortable overall, the arch support was a bit too low for my medium-high arches and the heel cup was insufficient support for weight. While they worked reasonably well for me, I believe they would a be better choice for lighter individuals with lower arches. Grade: BAetrex Copper Medium Arch: Promising better arch support, these felt very similar to the Spenco insoles even after walking around the block. I then swapped one of the Aetrex insoles for one of the Spenco insoles and walked around again. Only then could I tell them apart. The Spenco offered a little better support for the mid- and fore-parts of my foot, the Aetrex offered a little better support for my arch. Grade: BSuperfeet: I was in an Allen Edmonds store and noticed the Superfeet insoles. The clerk said many men my size have good success with them. I tried the Orange and the Copper DMP versions in the store. Finding the Orange too high for my arches, I got a pair of the Copper DMP. These are easily the most rigid of the insoles I've tried...and easily the best. Superfeet arch support sits farther back on the insole than other brands. This made a real difference in the support and comfort I felt walking long distances. I also found the medial post support in the heel did a better job than other insoles in combatting over-pronation. Grade: A [Update: I have since tried Superfeet Black in dress shoes that couldn't accommodate the Orange insole. They work well but are not as supportive as the Copper.]Powerstep Pinnacle: While it seems well-made and offered good support, it simply did not work for me. The gel-based arch support sits too far forward and in the middle of the insole. The insoles felt like I had lumps of clay underfoot. After a few blocks of brisk walking, my feet began to fatigue as if I were walking barefoot in sand. Again, these may work for some people but they didn't for me. Grade: CPowerstep Pinnacle Pro: Other wearers commented that the Pinnacle Pro differs markedly from the Pinnacle, so I tried a pair. I barely made it a block before heading back home. Though more rigid than the Pinnacle and with a better heel cup, the Pinnacle Pro was too inflexible through the arch and ball of my foot. These were the only insoles I tried that truly caused me pain. Of course, it could just be the contours of my feet, and for others the Pinnacle Pro might be great. Grade: F
