FootActive Plantar Fasciitis Insoles - XL - 11/13 UK Blue

Bought specifically to ease Plantar Fasciitis. I use these inside walking shoes that I wear for 9 hour shifts on concrete floors and have found them to be excellent. I was so impressed with the support and pain relief that I bought a second pair so that I would never be without them. A good heel cup with gel insert and the arch support is sturdy and comfortable the metatarsal area also has the gel insert so provides good comfort all round. They are soft enough to be cushioning but firm enough to hold the foot in line. The material seems to be of high quality and I feel they will be pretty robust. I've never had PF before and after the initial irritation and mild panic (9 hrs on my feet per day - eek!) I can manage it with excercises, one of those foot roller thingies and these good insoles. Money well spent.

Some reviews say that these orthotics are too hard. I would say they are firm, but they need to be firm to give your feet support. The leaflet advises you to build your wear up slowly, so maybe for an hour one day, two the next. I have worn orthotics for years so I ignored this advice and my feet were fine, but maybe follow this advice if you haven’t worn firm orthotics before.Again if you haven’t worn orthotics before, you need to be aware that your shoe has to be roomy to be able to fit it as well as your foot.Follow the trimming lines indented on the bottom of the sole to trim them to size. I wear a size 7 and so I trimmed mine to the smallest size.These orthotics have made a massive difference to my every day life, and I’ve now bought some FootActive sandals so I can have the same fantastic support in the summer.

Great product and does help a lot.But as has been noted in other reviews , when put in some shoes , things can get a little tight and uncomfortable.Not always as I change my shoes every other day.It’s just a little inconvenience I accept, but it’s worth mentioning as their not cheap.

Why did you choose this product over others?:i always buy these insoles because they seem to fit my feet just right ive purchased many makes and types to no avail foot active are for meArch support:good firm support and fits nice

These work really well and within a few days I was already feeling relief. Had to trim to fit, but the soles are marked for you to cut.

Simply Simply lovely 👍🏻

I trimmed the insole to the required size to fit the shoe, but I found that the Arch Support to be very hard and cause a lot of pain. It is almost like having a very large smooth stone under your foot, not a sharp pain but a great deal of pressure in one spot.I don't really know if the arch support is in the correct location as it is in a fixed location and the insole is meant to cater for a wide range of shoe sizes.I only managed two exercise sessions and on my second one I had to cut it short and came in after one three mile lap. I have had to abandon their use, too painful, but it certainly took my mind of my painful heel.

The insoles are very comfortable and at this moment in time seem to be working
