Orthotic High Cushion Insole - Arch Support, Plantar Fasciitis & Flat Feet Relief (2 Pairs, Black, 3.5cm)

Jan 30, 20251041 days have passed since Achilles tendon rupture at age 76. Tried everything, but the 'ol gastrocnemius never re-activated and regained strength. That means at the point in your gait when you should be pushing off from the ball of the foot you got no push. Instead you limp. That affects your knee and hip. Keep it up and every time you go for a walk the leg will ache. I know for elderly Achilles people about half don't get back to normal. Spent a lot of time trying to find what they do; no luck. I wondered what if that foot was in the raised heel push off position by virtue of a heel lift? Would that help? Couple days ago I tried the Dr. Foot 1" heel lift I haven't used for a couple years and it did help immediately. Had to try it on a hike. 1.5 miles in 31 minutes; no leg pain. That one isn't very comfortable, so I ordered a new one that arrived today; Lcyiven 1 3/8". 1.5 miles in 28 minutes flat!, comfortable and it hasn't felt so good to walk since before rupture. No limp. I'm using Wintin barefoot boots with zero drop. I wonder if anyone else has used a heel lift for this purpose? Would like to hear from Lcyiven.

These are a great support for my hills, I will get more for each pair of shoes.

Horrible don't buy thisI use it for 5 minutesVery uncomfortableYou can't even walkI burn that crap

The product makes my shoes more comfortable to walk in, but it does very little for a height boost. The more you wear them, the less effective they become as they become flatter over time.

Unfortunately these didn’t work for my husband because he said they felt too narrow and would shift under the sides of his feet, so they were uncomfortable. He did say the cushion and arch was really nice but just wished they were wider!I wish there was an option for wider feet or ability to cut it to fit shoes better.

Nice.

If you have heel spurs these are amazing! I golf a lot and my heel spurs were hurting and flaring up after I golfed or took walks. I put these in and wow they are so amazing. I have tried other inserts from the store and they never had the cushioning that they claimed. They actually hurt my heels more. Just keep in mind if you are buying for tennis shoes you can get the ones that states that they fit tennis shoes. I tried the ones for boots in my tennis shoes and my heels feel like they are going to lift out of my shoes. The tennis shoes ones will give you the cushioning you need.

These are very comfortable for the price $ . I highly recommend to try them .
