Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx-U, Maroon/Black, Men's 9-9.5 / Women's 11-11.5

Prior to using these, I was using a Sof Sole Athlete Insole in a pair of Brooks Ghost 12's which provided a decent amount of stability, but degraded over time. Decided to spend around twice the price on these guys and good lord what a difference. I added these to a brand new pair of Brooks Ghost 15's and I have never felt more stable or comfortable in a pair of shoes in my entire life. These have eliminated all of my pain from my knees and ankles to the plantar fasciitis in my feet. They have dramatically reduced my over-pronation to the point that it's almost non-existent and they make me want to keep my shoes on instead of immediately take them off for the first time ever. Can not recommend these enough!

The PowerStep insoles are a perfect fit and have given unblievable pain relief. Saving up to buy another pair.

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.

Ordered product recommended by my doctor. Only used short time so can’t comment on long term effectiveness.Seems well constructed and true to size. .

My husband was having pain in his arches and asked his podiatrist how to cure it. The doctor told him about these insoles, which he said were every bit as good as custom insoles at a fraction of the cost. My husband ordered a pair last fall and put them in his athletic shoes. The pains went away! He has now purchased two more pairs to keep in the shoes he wears most of the time. He could switch the one pair around, but he prefers to leave them in the shoes all the time. So if you are having arch pain, purchase these insoles. You won’t regret it.
