PowerStep Pinnacle Maxx Orthotic Insoles - Orthotics for Overpronation with Maximum Stability & Comfort - Firm + Flexible Angled Heel Style to Help Flat Feet - Heavy Duty Inserts

These are great inserts. They last a long time and hold up well to everyday use. Although they are a bit firm they give excellent support to the arch of the foot. I use fairly high end shoes and I put a pair of these inserts into all of the shoes that I use most often. The size matches the shoe size well. I would definitely recommend these inserts to anybody that has a high arch.

I bought these to replace my custom orthotics that were professionally made at Hanger Clinic. These help align my foot and ankle better than my custom orthotics. So far, I can play golf wearing these in my golf shoes and my feet actually don't hurt anymore for hours after playing. I hope these continue to offer years of relief to my feet. I have low arches and issues with a tendon that runs under my foot; I get pain on the inside portion where this tendon passes near my ankle.

It's been tough reading through all of these reviews trying to make a solid choice for insoles. I had my 8th spinal surgery in April. I awoke with neuropathy so bad I couldn't walk. A high arch developed after two months post surgery. Doctors had nothing to help me and my condition was determined to be permanent.So I got to work. Supplements, pushing through the pain. I walked and walked and worked on projects even though I was almost totally disabled. Seven months later and I was just able to hunt. But, before I went my attention turned to insoles for relief. Could they make a difference in my pain and could I even be comfortable. The journey started.I've now bought; Birkenstock's, Power Step Pinnacle Maxx, Sof Soles Fit, Sole DK Response, Sole Softec Ultra, Forms, New Balance Stability and a couple of others that I don't remember.In order of relief (for me);1: Birkenstock Heeled Arch Supports (3/4 length). If you have a high arch as I do don't miss looking at these. They have superior support for the arch, heel (deepest heel cup) and metatarsal support is built right into the insole. They're especially useful in footwear without insoles. They work flawlessly in my Danner Rainforest hunting boots. Couldn't get any of the others to work in them. These can feel hard after a long day on them. Still, their fit is so worth it.2: Power Step Pinnacle Maxx. Put these in my Danner Radical 452 and it was a perfect match. I had to buy 2 sizes bigger to make sure my arch matched the Maxx's. I also wear these in my Clark's, Ahnu's, Merrill Jungle Mocs, Ecco's and MBT's. The Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx, overall, are my number one choice. Major relief from pain. Wonderful support and great cushioning.3: Sole Softec Ultra. Probably the best built of all of the insoles I've tried. No doubt, they'll last a long time. Not using these yet because I ordered my shoe size...wrong! I tried them in my proper size and the arches didn't line up. They were very uncomfortable. I'm awaiting a shipment two sizes larger than my shoe size. Then we'll see. For now my impression is they're not supportive enough. The heel and arch are made of a semi rigid EVA material. The only way they'll work is if I attach something under the arch to prop it up. The heat molding does little good if they're not high enough in the first place or if you need a more rigid support which I do. Well made but, so far, they don't work for me. This holds true for the DK Response too.4: Solf Sole Fit. Good firm arch support but the forward part of the insoles is a soft EVA foam only that, I believe will breakdown quickly. Already is for my wife in just several weeks.5: New Balance Stability. Everything was wrong about these for my feet. Not enough support in the heel or arch. The heel cup was thick yet not deep so they took up too much space in my shoes. They had a metatarsal pad built in but, for me, in the wrong place.6: Forms. They fit quite well, had a sturdy arch and heel cup but are surprisingly thick. Very well made though. Needed two sizes larger to get the arch to align. Opted not to go ahead with these when i found the Power Step Maxx.I'll be settling with the Power Step Pinnacle Maxx and the Birkenstock's. I also purchased the Power Step metatarsal pads and they too made a nice difference in the Maxx's. They're small but let me tell you, with proper positioning, they can have a very positive affect on how your feet feel.Good luck in your search. Don't be afraid to ignore the sizes and fit the insole to your arch. You may have to trim them but for me it was the difference between great relief or none at all.

Helps with foot/ankle pain

I got these because my right foot has suffered from Plantar Fasciitus for the last few months, a condition I have never had before but that I made worse I think by going on hikes when overweight and pushing through the pain.By the time I realized it was a chronic pain it had already gotten fairly bad. I tried doing stretches and foot exercises to help and avoided putting weight on it for weeks, but nothing seemed to really help. I even went and got physical therapy (which proceeded to send me a $300 bill) which basically just gave me stretches to do which barely helped.So, desperate, I did two things.1. I found shoes that were comfortable for me - 14 double wides with good arch support.2. I got these inserts, which fit perfectly (size 14-15 ones) in place of the existing inserts in my shoes.I have only been using these for roughly a week and already the pain in my right foot has decreased significantly over time. The first 2-3 days I was wearing them it hurt more than it ever had, but after taking the time to walk with proper form I am already seeing the results. I can't speak for the long-term capabilities of this but the short-term effects have reduced my pain more in a week than in 1-2 months of me trying to cure it by things like reducing weight on my foot.I highly recommend these to anyone who had a similar problem as me - someone who has probably had misaligned feet for years due to being overweight for so long and finally developed plantar fasciitus due to sudden exercise.Just ensure you get the right style. These ones fit very well and have a strong enough arch to support my feet decently well even though I weigh more than 300 pounds. They have good support in the heel and a slight inner foot arch support that helps to angle your foot outwards more. Combined with shoes that properly allow your feet to move as they need to I think this is something I am likely to use for years to come.

The inserts fit my shoes and arch perfectly. They are comfortable and will help prevent pain in my feet. y

I have planter fasciitis. This product gave me the comfort I needed as I walked. The arch is very strong and it gives me stability on my foot.

Fantastic for those of us with flat feet and over pronation. I paid $375 for custom orthodic a decade ago and wanted additional shoes to have similar support. Power Step makes a high quality product and now has so many different styles. The pinnacle Max has provided great arch support, as well as heel comfort. The cost is considerably less and allows me to add the supports to other shoes. Highly recommend and have used a version of power step for over 15 years now.
