ViveSole Plantar Fasciitis Support Inserts for Women- Medium 3/4 Arch Support Insoles for Men & Women - Orthopedic for Flat Feet, Fatigue, and Lower Back Pain Relief - Non Odor Foam Cup Support

Only slightly less than the original. They work OK, and are comfortable. They didn't last as long as my vionics - but for the price I paid (much less than they sell for today) they were good. At the new price point, I'm not going to save much. So, I'll get the name brand item.

Had no luck with these, see review for suggestions on better types.I really wanted to write an in depth helpful review so that I could actually try and help people find some relief for their foot, back, and knee pain that they might be experiencing like I do. Before I start, let me say that from my research and testing of many different OTC orthotic insoles and arch supports I do not think they are all bad or all good. I think they have to be matched to the type of foot you have. Having said that, it can be frustrating to continuously spend money on insoles that offer no help. I have not tried everything on the market, but I have tried many and here are the results that have helped me. First, I have a size 10 foot that is wide. My foot actually measures 9.5 and E in width on a brannock device but through experience I always buy a 10 2E running shoe. Even then certain styles might be a bit snug in the width for me. I am 5'11" and weigh 194. So over the years from gaining weight, being on my feet all day in the medical field, and being pretty active, my arches have fallen. Until I found out they had fallen, I never understood why after being on my feet all day the pain in my feet, ankles, and knees, was downright terrible. Then I started trying the different inserts and some helped but most were a waste of money. You can research on the net how fallen arches contribute to this pain. For my condition, I tend to need a higher arch support that will not collapse when running and staying on my feet all day. So began my search.For my type of condition, the two best products that have worked for me are the blue colored powerstep pinnacle and the Dr. Scholls # 430 insert sold on the foot mapping machines at walmart. I do realize that these are not custom inserts, but I am trying to avoid the expensive orthopedist route as long as I can. So the powerstep pinnacle has the right amount of the medium to high arch support that I require. I can feel the lump under my arch as some have complained about, but this seems to be exactly what I need to feel relatively pain free after being on my feet all day or running my miles each evening. These do take a day or so to get used to, but they have helped me very well for the most part. Do I feel like I'm 18 and problem free again....no, but its the best I've felt yet short of spending a fortune and going the custom route. I have worn these insoles two ways. On shoes that run big I have placed them on top of the factory insole which gave just a little extra cushion and I have also removed the factory insole and used just the powerstep insole by itself. These are strictly running shoes that I have tested these in, but I have no doubt they would work in boots as well. I do not think they would fit in dress shoes. As a side note I also tried the maroon colored pinnacle max but the wedge on the bottom of the orthotic over compensated too much for my level of pronation and it was uncomfortable for me. I use the blue inserts in a stability type running shoe and this has been the best combination for me. The other insert that worked well for me was the 430 Dr.Scholls on top of the factory insole as these are 3/4 length.So for my type of foot, I have tried the green super feet which did not offer enough arch support but were very comfortable for someone who may require less support. The pinnacle maxx were great except for that square plate underneath which over corrected my pronation and was uncomfortable. I tried the Dr. Scholls arch pain relief which were terrible compared to the other 430's. They did not fit well in any shoe and the arch support while high, did not ever seem to fall in the right position for my foot. I tried the envelop 3/4 orthotics and these did not work well either. They too just never fit in the shoe right or felt natural. I tried the VIVEsole 3/4 length and these felt like they had no arch support at all and were so narrow they kept shifting around in the shoe. I am still waiting to receive some spenco's and some prolab p3 semi customs to try and see how they do.I will rate the pinnacles at a 4 because they feel about as good as my #430 Dr.Scholls and they do help a lot, but I'm sure compared to a custom they can only do so much. They were by far the best OTC I have come across in my testing so far. So if you need the higher support from fallen arches like I do, these may help you. Remember, you will feel the highness under your arch which you get used to. and you should wear them intermittently the first few days to adapt to them. Don't be afraid to try them with or without the factory insole left in place.

I used these for boots that were not providing enough arch support. (Even though they are size wide Earth Origin boots, the footbed is not quite wide enough for me at the arch area, so these Orthotics come in handy, adding more support ).In general, they help a lot, as I was able to wear these boots, with a short heel. (Haven't worn heels in perhaps 20 years).However, for some reason I can feel the front edge of the Orthotic, perhaps due to the slant from the heel.As I have extremely sensitive feet, & was not wearing socks, it felt like the edge cut into the ball of my foot. Will try with socks to see if that helps.The support is otherwise very, very good for my wide feet.This has been the 1st time to be able to wear closed shoes in many years, due to ankle, knee, hip & back injuries.I am retired & live in Hawai'i, so have no need for closed shoes, but was planning a trip to the Continental US, so needed some.Normally I wear Birkenstock, Orthaheel Vionic Tide flip flops, or more recently, a Dansko sandal.I also just got some Alegria Mary Jane style shoes. I don't need the Orthotics for those.If socks don'the help, will look for full length Orthotics in this brand, as these are thin enough to fit in the boots.

I'm wearing them now. They are as good as the store-bought most expensive ones. I will never pay $50 again. These are great! The one thing thing I can't tell you yet is the useful life of these pads, but at only 20% of the price of the Dr. Scholls ones I don't really care. BTW, I love the Dr Scholls ones. But they're charging $50 for about $1.50 worth of foam rubber, $3 for stupid packaging, $5 for the machine that measures your feet and $20 for the store. Why do they deserve this kind of profit to resolve my Plantar Faciitiis pain. BTW, I've probably bought a pair of the Dr Scholls Custom Fit 440 (the highest level of correction) for 20 pair of shoes... that's about $1,000 worth of experience. Congratulations VIVEsole... you've got my business.I started off going to a place called Good Feet. I paid $300 for a pair of inserts (measured by the store sales people). So uncomforable that I couldn't wear them after the first day. Total rip off.

I developed plantar fasciitis a few months ago and could not find any shoe - or bare feet either - that wouldn't make it worse. I'm buying some new shoes with more support, but wanted to be able to wear the fairly new ones I already have. With these insoles I can tolerate them at least for awhile. I like the thinness of them so they don't make my sneakers too tight. I ordered the full length ones, but haven't tried them yet. (Per my physical therapist who generally prefers full length ones.) But my podiatrist said to put them over the insole in the shoe, so my toes and ball of foot still have padding. As my foot is healing I hope that they will feel even more comfortable. For the price and good service from the company I would recommend these.

I am getting ready to order a second pair of these. I walk anywhere from 8 to 25 miles a day for my work and I can't imagine my feet without these! I have very high arches and Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. These help so much, it's quite the dramatic change with them. They do send you a warranty for 3 months and they do wear down around that time frame or less if you use them like I do. The pictures of certain pieces coming out because the glue is moving them is accurate, but I just glued it back in place. For me $10 for this product is a steal and I am okay with them lasting 3 months or so, it's worth it, compared to costs I've paid for high end so called amazing insoles. It's definitely worth it or at least worth a try since the cost is so low! Highly recommend!

NO ESTAN BIEN ESPECIFICADAS LAS MEDIDAS, SON DE ESTADOS UNIDOS Y NO HAY COMPARATIVO CON MEDIDAS DE MEXICO, POR LO QUE UNO PIDE LA QUE SUPUESTAMENTE ES Y SON MUCHO MAS GRANDES Y NO HAY DEVOLUCION, MAL PRODUCTO

Insoles are useless to me. I didn’t realize that I was not given an opportunity to select a size. So when they arrived it was immediately apparent that they would not fit and for some reason they cannot be returned even though the package is unopened

Al principio son muy cómodas, pero en los 2 meses que he usado, se han aplanado bastante y han ido perdiendo el soporte del arco. Lástima, tenia buenas expectativas del producto.

En verdad no los recomiendo no tienen el soporte q dicen tener después de una hora de uso es muy incómodo seguir usándolo

Ten en cuenta lo siguiente, a pesar de que se muestran las tallas teóricas de la plantilla, son un poco mas grandes de lo que se anuncia; del resto, bastante buenas para el día a día.No apestan pero debes de lavarlo con cierta periodicidad. Efectivas para el uso señalado.
