VALSOLE Heavy Duty Support Pain Relief Orthotics - 220+ lbs Plantar Fasciitis High Arch Support Insoles for Men Women, Flat Feet Orthotic Insert, Work Boot Shoe Insole, Absorb Shock with Every Step

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Val sole are great heavy-duty shoe inserts. I picked these because of plantar fasciitis and my doctor said to find some heavy-duty shoe inserts with high arch support. This product works so well, and the durability is also very good. I have flat feet, weigh 214-lbs and have been using them for 10 weeks now with no issues. The Val Sole inserts even made my worst pair of shoes (Skechers; After Burn) with those terrible, unusable, slick and flat memory foam inserts are now wearable and comfortable with the Val Sole inserts. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to avoid foot problems in the future to buy a good pair of inserts.

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in June 2024. It was extremely painful and the podiatrist I went to had me wearing a $70 boot on the foot at night and doing some stretches in the day. He said it would clear by itself after that. It did not. But These insoles have helped tremendously and I have bought several pairs to have for all the different shoes I wear. After close to six months of using these insoles, I can go without them, I can wear sandals, and very rarely do I get an ache in the heel. Well worth the price, get several pairs!

Sufficient arch support which relieved my heel discomfort. I used the "Red" pair in my Sketchers "max cushion" shoes. I removed the original insoles and replaced them with these supports - no trimming required for my size 12 men's shoe. With this combination, the shoes are very comfortable. I used double faced tape to secure the "Blue" model insoles to my athletic slides, which I use for house slippers. I noticed that the red pair provides a little more cushioning in the arch area of my foot. These insoles are marked for people 210+ lbs but I'm only 180lbs. However, they work great for me. Especially the Red pair when I'm mowing the lawn. If you need heavy duty support and heel pain relief, I would recommend you try the Red pair. Since each person's foot is different, you'll have try various insoles until you find what works for you. Good luck.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:my husband just started having issues with plantar fasciaitis and just got a new job where he is on his feet alot. He states the inserts have helped quite a bit. they are comfortable and easy to insert without having to cut them down to size. Ease of use:easy insertFit:true to sizwFunctionality:works as they are supposed to keeping pressure and weight off oh heels.

When these arrived I was initially skeptical. Normally for my work boots I just buy those 10 dollar dr. scholls you see at the end of isles in department stores like wal mart and they get the job done but for some reason my last pair of those just bunch up towards my toes and are just terrible. Gave these a shot and WOW I was missing out on true comfort and support...They look thinner in real life than these pictures - I kind of imagined I'd gain a whole inch in height with how big these look in picture but they are very thin. They are also rigid so it's super easy to just slip these right into your shoe and since they are already sized you don't have to cut them down like you do with the super cheap ones. These are instant game changers for me... I used to have to spend a lot of time cutting the cheap ones down to proper size and some times I'd need to glue them in and even then it was 50/50 whether they were actually more comfortable but these work straight out of the box, super easy to slip in and instantly you can tell just from standing before your first step how much better these are. I'm 100% buying a pair of these for every pair of shoes I ever buy now.

These work great for me. Red Wing work boots don't come with arch support foot pads, and I have somewhat flat feet, so these things really enhanced the comfort of my boots. After a short time, I ordered a second pair for my other work boots. If you don't have flat feet, I don't know if these are going to do much for you, but for me they were a huge upgrade, even though both of my pairs of work boots were pretty expensive to start with. Good quality boots will last a long time so you'll probably have to replace the foot pads at least once or twice anyway.

I purchased these a few months ago based on their good reviews. They are very supportive and a perfect fit for my shoes. I would say that they are correctly sized and seem to be made well and of good materials. I do prefer a softer insole but overall still comfortable. These are very rigid, especially in the arch and don't offer a lot of padding for the rest of your foot either, but if they closely match your foot, I think that you will like them. I have a pair of custom made insoles that were very expensive, and it's hard to tell a difference between these and my custom fit ones. They are priced very well and would be worth trying out for yourself.

Excellent product! So good I reordered several sets for all of my shoes and boots. I have high arches and spend the day on my feet on uneven terrain. Sole inserts are a must have item. These aren’t crushing either under heavy wear. Well worth the money spent!
