Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had foot problems for many years, exasperated by long hours standing on them when I was a librarian. As a result, I've ended up with Morton's Neuroma on both feet, plantar fasciitis at different points in my life, and several claw toes. All this to say, my feet have not been happy feet, despite the fact that I have never been one to wear high heels. I've always worn comfortable shoes but it wasn't making a difference. My podiatrist made some custom orthotics for me but they were heavy and clunky and I felt like I was walking around with weights strapped to my feet. I STILL was having foot problems so I figured, why put myself through the annoyance of those heavy things. The next thing my podiatrist suggested were different Dr. Scholls inserts, like the Air Pillow insoles. They were more comfortable but tended to make my feet crowded in my shoes, which often then gave my feet a sensation of having "gone to sleep" (i.e. that pins and needles sensation) or they'd feel swollen and tight. Finally, this Christmas, my daughter-in-law gave me these Pedag Holiday orthotic cushions. She is in a medical residency program and had asked the head of Podiatry at her hospital if he had any recommendations. These are the orthotics he recommended. He said he'd been recommending them to many of his podiatry patients and had been hearing a lot of good reports back about them. Well, I've been using them since Christmas and they are fantastic. Because they are just a 3/4 length orthotic, my toes aren't cramped. I no longer have any pins and needles sensations and no feelings of tight, swollen feet. I have high arches and these have provided tremendous support. They truly are lightweight and they don't add any appreciable weight when they are slipped into a pair of shoes. It's wonderful. Because they are so thin, I haven't had to take out the regular lining in my shoes. I just slip them into a pair and off I go. They work great in my sport clogs and in my loafers. In fact, I am so pleased with them that I just ordered another pair so that I can have a pair in each of the shoes I wear the most. I highly recommend this product. My feet are finally happy feet again.
