Slimflex Simple 3/4 Length Insoles - High Density ( Hard )

The Slimflex Simple 3/4 Length Insoles are another pair I’ve chosen because I like their moulded base. Unlike other brands with a flimsy base, these feel supportive and dependable, making them a solid option for everyday use.

I've been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis and Plantar Fibromatosis (lumps in the ligament instead of thickening) for the last year. Before getting it, I didn't really understand what could be so bad about it - I now know and sympathise with anyone else who has it. For the first six months I always thought that it was gel or cushioning insoles that I needed. That was until I had an appointment with a chiropodist who told me that it was actually hard insoles that I needed. He then sold me these insoles for £20 telling me that they weren't in the shops. Imagine my shock when I looked on Amazon and found them £12.95! Needless to say I did not return for any other appointments with him. As for the insoles, they are great. There is no give at all in the insole which means that it gives very good support for your foot. It takes a bit of time to get used to having the insoles in your shoes or trainers, but it soon becomes natural. If I don't wear them in my footwear, I soon start regretting it. I've now bought a few pairs so that I don't have swap them every time I wear a different pair. I've now had them since the middle of September 2017 and one pair especially has daily use and is still going strong showing no signs of wear. When I've done my research, the 3/4 length insoles are better for when you can't remove the original insole from your shoes. Don't get cheated by chiropodists like I did when they want you to pay over the odds for these insoles! If you found this review helpful, can you please help me by clicking on the helpful button.

good product

To cut to the chase bad footwear causing major pain prompted myself to go see a foot expert and to my surprise and delight the above supports actually stopped my aching painful planter fiscitis issue over a three month period. My fallen arches do not hurt anymore now I have a decent pair of boots with the supports above supporting the arches properly. Since these supports I have also bought to different styles of Professional running trainers which have also helped to support my arches. Flat footed boots will ruin your feet and cause major issues in the long run, so try half a size up with boots and trainers and keep away from badly designed footwear. Your feet are important to your health.

I bought these as I get through many pairs of x-line insoles and while they are excellent they are more expensive then these. I was hoping that these might be a good substitute however they do not work for me. I have hypermobile flat feet and very unstable hypermobile ankles. These provide a firm surface which I need, however the bulkiness of the insoles left my feet more unstable in the ankle than with the x-line and I almost injured myself a couple of times when wearing these out for the first time when my ankles "gave way". Also the fact that they are 3/4 length means that the height difference between the raised arch support section and the front foot is intensified, which I find creates a slightly forward tilt that exaserbates my ankle instability. I will try these in wellies but would not recommend them for people with hypermobile ankles in any activite footwear or sporting activities due to the risk of injury. They may be fine for people whose feet and joints are more stable.

Recommeded by podiarty, good for flat feet.

The item is titled "slimflex" yet is it way too wide to fit into my shoes, even my wider boots. And when I tried to return it, Amazon would not let do a return and said I had to contact the manufacturer, which is not worth it for the price of the item. So buyer beware.

I have flat feet and have tried a few different types of insoles over the years. I have found these to be the best, they are comfortable, and provide the right amount of support. I have 2 pairs one for each of my main shoes. I work in a shop and stand up all day and these make a huge difference to my foot pain, now it's almost non-existent!
