These little orthotics actually work pretty well for someone like me who has asymmetries in their posture. I use this on my flat arch and the design allows me to place it the exact right spot where it almost disappears. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars it sometimes will slip from its position and repositioning it looks really weird especially in public. After a few months of wear on the external part of my sock has worn down the fabric which makes them look like a ratty pair of socks. I am considering buying many pairs of these and replacing them every few months as they get holes just like socks or underwear. Keep in mind my job is very active and requires a lot of walking. A sedentary person might be able to wear these for around a year without issue.

The directions tell you to wear it at night for two weeks, then you can only wear it for five minutes at a time. The gel part is too high hard, and will put pressure on your arch that is uncomfortable. Again, the elastic is constructed for small, narrow feet, not an average American or Hispanic foot

My doctor had perscribed very expensive orthotics that didnt last more than a few weeks before my heel wore a hole in them. I've been using less expensive inserts since then and while I like them, I decided instead to try this.I love it FOR ME. I can walk around the house bare foot, which previously was too painful and not reccomended by the doc. I dont need inserts and can rely on these. I now wear them all the time.Pro -* Way cheaper than inserts* Can be slightly adjusted for your needs at the moment* Can help when not wearing shoes at all* Can wear them all the time (OK, not needed during sleep, unless, I suppose, you are an extensive sleep-walker, but then you probably have other serious concernsCons-* Heavier wallet* Probably not what the doctor ordered* the band around the foot is probably not ideal for the rest of the foot and surrounding muscles, but if you augment with some exercises, you can probably minimize this* Hand wash onlyI've been using it now for about a year, and can recommend if it suits your needs as well.

It didn’t help relieve my pain. They seem well made and durable, and are a fair price. The padding seems thick enough and stable. I just don’t think the product could help me. I’m currently 1 week post op of foot surgery to try to fix my pains. Physical therapy and injections did not help me.

After 9+ hours a day ony feet with pretty severe plantar fasciitis, I come home every day, sit on my bed and cry. Holding in such intense pain all day takes a lot out of you. So when I got these I was sceptical but really hopeful. I followed the suggestions on the box and wore them overnight. The next day I had to go to the store and was dreading it. I was fully expecting to have to take these off in the store but I was absolutely shocked! I can't say the pain was gone but it definitely went from a 12 to maybe a 7 or 8. If you've dealt with the pain of plantar fasciitis you know how big of a deal that is! And this is just day one! Coupled with all the other adjustments I'm making I'm actually really hopeful that I can heal this on my own. Thank you! I'll edit this if things change. Maybe it was just a fluke but I sure hope not.Update: today is day 4 and my first day back at work. After being on my feet for 9 hours I have to say I was still in a lot of pain BUT it is significantly better than before. As I understand it plantar fasciitis takes months to heal and so far this product has made A HUGE difference. I wish I'd tried this before spending so much money on other products.
