FootSmart Posture Corrective Heel Cup, Pair

These little gems are exactly what I needed to balance out my feet. Born with very crooked feet, which in turn, has caused me much hip and back pain over the years, doctors couldn't seem to be of much help because I have never required foot surgery to fix the problem. I took this gamble as I have spent countless dollars on shoe wedges, heel lifts, etc within the last 30-40 year. I'm so glad I made this purchase!!

I wish they were just a little wider and a little more firm, but otherwise I am very happy. These are SO much better than the blue ones I originally bought: flimsy and soft, they pushed toward the front of the shoe as I put my foot in and the front curled under, and they made my feet feel too warm. These are more like the pair that I had for years that I finally tossed because they had flattened out. (And yes, I admit that they may have hardened over the years and that this new pair may not be any softer than the old ones were-I just don't remember.). 2018 update: I can't find these anywhere anymore so I'm nursing along the pair that I currently have.

I used these not just in my everyday shoes but my boots, working shoes, and my going out shoes my feet have not felt this good in a long time and my feet supinate so my shoes get worn out on one side, since I had this in my shoes the last six months, my shoes have worn out evenly. ....Awesome.

Ordered these a while back. I supinate and wear down the outside edge of my heals pretty badly. And the more my shoes wear down, the more my gait is altered - the worse I walk. These inserts do keep my feet aligned. The slant is subtle, so if you wear down the outside of your shoes, put the inserts with the "suns" facing together. If you pronate, put the "suns" facing opposite. Keep in mind, these supports are not for arch issues, plantar problems or anything like that, but if you pronate or supinate, I think they are great. I'm ordering a second pair so I don't have to keep switching. Also, I've never had any problems with FootSmart. Some of their products work better than others, but everyone's different and many healthcare products are trial and error.

I supinate badly. When walking, I noticed that my ankles would pop out to the side causing pain and sometimes numbness to my foot. Additionally, I was experiencing severe knee pain. I gave these a try a few years ago while researching items to help. One side of these is higher than the other. This creates a balance to your foot and ankle. The higher side straightens your ankle. I no longer have ankle or knee problems thanks to these, and I walk 7-9 miles per day. They are very durable as I weighed 350+lbs and they stood up to the weight relatively well. I would suggest getting at least 2 pairs for your most popular shoes you wear, so you don't have to continually switch them from shoe to shoe.

GREAT PRODUCT...after looking for something for 15 years to ease my backpain, it was just what I needed. I could tell by the wearing on the heals of my shoes that I had some kind of a problem, and this fit the bill. It's worth every penny; it saved me hundreds of dollars that I would have had to spend at the chiropractor over the next 20 or 30 years.

I have multiple feet issues and use custom orthotics. I decided to buy this, because it claimed to correct pronation. I was hoping that this product will work with existing orthotics (which solved other feet issues I had) to also address pronation. Also the material is soft and does not have arch support. After using this product I realized how important arch support and firm base is to reduce daily pain...For me arch support and firm base (under a soft upper layer) would have worked better.If pronation is the only issue with your feet, this product may work for you.

I've ordered these cups several times. My last two pair have not held up well. They wear down quick, the plastic peels off and sticks to my sock. They also have to be adjusted often during regular activity.
