REVIEW ON AMAZON OF Plantar Fasciitis Feet Insoles Arch Supports Orthotics Inserts for Flat Feet, High Arch, Foot Pain Mens 8 - 8 1/2 | Womens 10 - 10 1/2 "Over 68,000 reviews with 4.5 out of 5 star ratings here on Amazon. I'd done lots of research on orthotics after experiencing problems with calf pain, knee pain and plantar fasciitis. I'd been using Superfeet Green and Blue for over 15 years! But the Superfeet seemed to aggravate my knee, calf and plantar fasciitis problem, especially while running. The Green more than the Blue I'd say. When running it was very noticeable that the Superfeet did not offer as much cushion. I figured I could get away with just using the Blue, but the Blue caused the plantar fasciitis to flare up or at least not get better. I figured there must be a better orthotic. THIS IS IT! You can get all kinds of recommendations from podiatrists, sports medicine doctors, physical therapists, like I have and some of their shoes and orthotics can cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars over time. As soon I tried these, there wasn't even the slightest bit of pain from the Plantar Fasciitis, the knees, or the calf. I worked out at the gym, ran, jumped, did my workouts and it passed the test. And I workout pretty hard. Specifically, I noticed that in contrast to the superfeet, these insole/orthotics are firm but not as rigid as the superfeet. They seem to have a thickness in that arch area that doesn't dig in but gives and even edge of support along the arch. The forefoot area of the orthotic is comfortable because it again seems supportive but not as hard as the Superfeet. If you've suffered from knee or plantar fasciitis pain you know what I'm talking about the sheer relief and joy you feel when that pain is relieved. I'm suspecting that with this kind of support continued with my physical therapy, I'm well on my way to a complete and permanent resolution. All I can say is, the price is right, the reviews of over 68,000 customers and the endorsement of Amazon make this a bet worth taking. 3 DAY UPDATE... After 3 days of wearing these all day for walking, exercising, casual wear, I can say that it has reduced my plantar fasciitis pain to ZERO. Even in the morning I don't feel anything. I pressed on the plantar fasciitis and yes it was a bit tender, but not as much before. I can only conclude that these orthotics take the stress off the plantar fasciitis and are giving it time to heal. 1 WEEK UPDATE I continue to have pain relief from Plantar Fasciitis while bicycling, running, working out. One thing I should mention is that sometimes I don't lace up my shoes tight enough and my foot is sliding around in the shoe on the orthotic. I have to remember to make sure my laces are tight enough and my foot is nice and snug in the shoe against the orthotic for it to be most effective. Another thing is that I've discovered Jeff Cavaliere who was physical therapist to the New York Jets Championship baseball team for 3 years. Search youtube: 'Jeff Cavaliere Plantar Fasciitis', you'll see the best explanation of the mechanics of what CAUSES this condition and the stretches he teaches to solve this condition. It's an eye opener! All those so-called remedies, like rolling the bottom of your foot on a tennis ball are just to help with the symptom of pain, they don't really address the source and cause of the issue. Watch the video, do the stretch he teaches and see if that doesn't improve your condition and perhaps solve it for good!
