The Podiatrist's Prescription for Pain Relief! Your feet go through a major workout every day. Without proper foot posture and support, your foot tends to roll inward, causing strain or pain in your heel and arch, or even your ankles, knees or lower back. Dr. Les Appel, designer of PowerStep, has created and prescribed thousands of customized arch supports over the past 30 years, for everyone from athletes to salesmen to skycaps. But not everyone needs or wants to pay the cost of customized prescription products. That's why Dr. Appel invented Powerstep. Powerstep is a unique podiatric support system specifically intended to relieve heel and arch pain, and prevent foot strain and injury. Unlike leading insoles or arch supports, Powerstep's unique 4-phase design is optimized to provide complete foot support and comfort, and correct foot posture and mechanics. - Strong prescription-like arch support, calibrated with flexibility for comfort - Unique double-layer cushion casing to enhance comfort from heel to toe - Heel cradle and Platform to stabilize / protect the heel during landing - Heat and slip reducing anti-microbial ETC fabric for dryness - PowerStep is available in more sizes than any other retail brand: Mens 3-14.5 and Womens 5-15.5 WARNING: These devices are not intended for people with severe foot deformities or suffering from circulatory diseases which result in infections or ulcerations on the bottom of the feet. In such circumstances, consult your podiatrist or medical professional before using. As with any product, consult a medical professional if pain persists. GUARANTEE: 30 day money back guarantee for any reason. Lifetime guarantee against breakage of plastic arch support (inside casing) when used under normal condistions.

Amazing Relieve for Plantar Fasciitis Suffer's May 29, 2010 By Andrew A. Russell
These insoles are excellent for relieving the debilitating pain of Plantar Fasciitis (AKA: Heel Spurs).

A few years back I went to a store and got some $400 custom-made inserts. Later, I started running and developed incredible heal pain and stiffness. When I'd get up in the morning, my first steps would be so painful I'd groan out loud and shuffle like an old man.

I now own 8 pairs of these inserts. I first came across these based on reviews from the heelspurs website. For a while, I switched them between several pairs of shoes... and finally, I purchased enough so I wouldn't have to keep switching them out. They work in dress shoes, running shoes, and casual shoes. I have them in New Balance Walking, New Balance Hiking, New Balance Running, Avia running, Nun Bush Dress, and Rockports.

They may be 0.1 to 0.25" inches higher than your shoe's original insoles. If your shoes are tight, you may have to loose your laces a little more to accommodate the difference. For best results, try new shoes on in the stores with a pair of these insoles.

Within the first 3 months of using these, all of my heal pains receded. My tendons and ligaments returned do their normal condition, and I don't hurt any more.

One warning of note though, getting the correct size is relatively important. I once re-ordered some of these 1/2 size smaller than the others I'd purchased (by mistake). The 1/2 shoe size difference changed the position of the arch support just enough that my feet started to hurt again. I had to exchange the smaller inserts for the larger size.

Save money and buy the original, it will last longer Jun 07, 2010 By Rod Harrison
I have had 5 pairs of Powerstep insoles--2 original and 3 Pinnacle. While the Pinnacle might seem like a better deal because it is only a couple of bucks more and provides some additional cushioning, I have found that they do not last nearly as long. I still have the first 2 pairs of the original model, but have worn out all of the Pinnacle versions. The neoprene cushioning will give way after about 500 miles of running, but the Originals seem to be as effective as the day I bought them. Good running shoes do not need additional cushioning (I highly recommend the Asics Nimbus if you are a neutral to under-pronator). I have found that these insoles extend the useable life of the Asics Nimbus shoes (good thing because they are expensive), apparently because the semi-rigid insole distributes my weight more evenly on the mid-sole, so the mid-soles does not break down as quickly.

I bought the first pair because of having troubles with plantar fascitis, and it was helpful there. 90% of the time this is all I need to keep it at bay. Occasionally I will use the famous soda can therapy that quickly clears up any hints of PF (in case you have not heard of this therapy, it consists of sitting in a chair while rolling a can under the arch and heel of your foot).

There may be other insoles that do as good of a job and last as long, but I have been so satisfied with these, why try anything else?

Very good for those with flat feet Aug 28, 2010 By R. Pritchard
I've used this Powerstep Original model for several years now and its enabled me endure marathon training and 2 marathons per year along with other races. Most of the alternatives, including a newer model from Powerstep focus on cushioning, not arch support. You can buy a different running shoe if you need more cushioning. However it's the arch support that makes a huge difference for me with flat feet. I wouldn't run without these! I'm also enthused that the newer Powerstep Pinnacle model which features added cushioning will NOT replace this "original" model.

feet hurt after standing in them a while Apr 21, 2011 By A Reader
First impression is not great. I ordered these on-line and then before they came I happened to see the Dr. Scholl's Foot Mapping machine in a store. The machine recommended Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts CF 440 because I have low arch and very high pressure. I went ahead and bought those and started wearing them, and I love them. These were not the cheap replacement in-soles, BTW, like I've tried before from the drug store. They were more expensive than the Powersteps.

Then the Powerstep Originals came in the mail. After wearing them a while both my feet were hurting, although originally it was only my right foot that was bothering me.

Maybe my feet would get used to them after a while. The directions do say to wear them only a few hours a day at first. However, the Dr. Scholl's orthotic inserts provided immediate relief without any need for a break-in period.

Much better than Superfeet insoles! Nov 04, 2008 By E. Eve
I used to wear Superfeet insoles in my running and work shoes. Now I only use Powerstep insoles. They are great!
