I felt the difference within 5 minutes of wearing these
insoles. Within half an hour my chronic hip pain was gone. The cons: these do take up a lot of room, and you have to trim a lot to fit in low profile shoes. The
arch support is not as good as other
insoles. They feel a little hard at first, but the relief from the hip pain is worth it. I had been told before that my right hip was "off" just a bit, and that may be why these are miracle
insoles for me. More: I have a medium high arch, fairly high instep, medium width feet, and a narrow heel, in case this info helps you decide if these are for you.
