Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

These are the best over the counter supportive insoles that I have ever tried. They fit well in anything with a removable insole. They are fairly rigid but flexible enough that I don't feel the edges.I now have three pairs so I can keep them in my favorite shoes and even slippers, although they are easy to insert and remove.

Fabulous orthotic insole! I have super expensive orthotics that were custom made by my doctor and these are better. I wear these in all of my athletic shoes, especially when I go to the gym. Great arch support. Very firm.

I was looking for more arch support. This raises the heel too much to support my arch as needed.

GET THESE. We ordered many, and some more expensive, but these are the best for those who need extra arch support. They've lasted a year so far!

I should have purchased these before the Pinnacles. these seem slightly lower and they are better for me. I wish they were slightly less hard on the bottoms.

Best investment ever, no more foot pain, buying them for every pair of shoes, wish they would come in black. Wish I could wear them in sandals.

These are very comfortable - they have made a noticeable improvement in most, if not all, of my shoes. And without my having to go 300 trips around the orthotic mulberry bush!

I love these and I think they are better than the Spencos I usually buy. But I could use a higher arch and I might have to add more arch support in the left shoe. Overall I think the are super insoles.

Bought these inserts for arch support in Zumba shoes. No modifications to the inserts required to make them fit. As the arch support is very good, the inserts to take some getting used to. Overall, they are good inserts if you need sturdy arch support.

I have a history of plantar fasciitis and have narrow, low volume feet. I've worn various off-the-shelf orthotics and these are very good, but still second place to the inserts from The Walking Company. Still, these are a good value.

I got these for my husband who works in a greenhouse and is on his feet all day long. With the Powersteps in his shoes his legs and feet feel a lot better at night. He doesn't want to be without his Powersteps in his shoes, they are very comfortable! They are very true to size also.

These shoe inserts are the best.. I first got a pair from the foot doctor and then I saw them at Zappos for a better price.. I have 4 pairs and have them in all my shoes..I was diagnosed with planters facilities...the arch support from these inserts make my whole lower body feel better... they are definitely worth a try. My daughter also got them from her foot doctor and she loves them.

Of all the different pairs of inserts I bought to try, these are my favorite. I am a 8-8.5 reg to wide woman and I did not have to do anything to make them fit. They hit my arch in the correct place and they are soft. Very happy.

This is my first pair of non-drugstore inserts, so maybe I was expecting too much. These did have the arch support I was looking for that I couldn't find in the drugstore brands, but I found them to be too hard in the heel area. I wore them for an all-day shopping outing and my feet were killing me about half way through. It didn't help that the arch on my left foot felt like it was a little further back than my the other foot. I would have liked some more cushioning in the heel. This pair just didn't work out for me. They did fit in my shoes pretty well after I took the shoes' original insole.

Best replacement insole on the market. Firm arch support, very durable. I highly recommend these if you want a firm arch support.

I'm not one to usually write negative reviews but these insoles are nothing unique. They gave me no arch support whatsoever. They feel and look like regular insoles that come with shoes and definitely are not worth the price. I will be sticking with my berry superfeet and I returned these.

This is now my fifth insole I've tried from Zappos. The pinnacle wasn't comfortable because my big toe landed in a weird spot. These are true to size and have excellent arch support. They fit my size 8 shoes. I'm going to have to buy insoles for my 8.5 shoes. I will probably buy the berry superfeet.

These are the best and most comfortable foot support and help with foot conditions of all kinds I have ever used. This was a re-order for more shoes. I have many pairs in the three formats. The original is the lowest in height and the next two choices are medium and very high/deep all with increasing support. Recommend highly.

These were okay but not really working for my foot issues. I have neuroma and basically just sore tired feet. These did not have enough cushion for my issues. However, the arch support did seem quite good.

These insoles may be the answer to my problems. I overpronate and need moderate arch support and it is almost impossible to find shoes that are attractive and comfortable. The shoes I have to buy are expensive and sadly my toes make indentations in the shoe beds within a few months making them uncomfortable to wear before long. The outside of the shoes are still in good condition, but the shoe beds seem to wear out quickly and you cannot buy replacements from the shoe manufacturer. I bought a pair of Gel Asics which had a squishy very comfortable foot bed that I really liked but the arch support was not enough. I removed the footbed that came with the shoe and replaced with these and I was able to keep the new shoes and walk long distances in them. I do wish the heel and toe area of the powerstep inserts were squishier, but the arch support is great. When I put my shoes on I can feel the hard arch but within 3-5 minutes, I am no longer aware of it. So if you haven't tried them before, wear them for a little while before you decide they aren't comfortable. I had also purchased the Powerstep Pinnacle which has even higher arch support, but I am not sure I need that much. I ordered them in a half size larger and would have to cut them to fit in my shoes, so can't really try them out to know. Since buying inserts is new to me, I am going to buy multiple brands of inserts now to try them in my older shoes that I would like to continue to wear. I hope I find something that is very soft, but supportive through the arch. I bought some Spenco 3/4 length inserts in college for my dress shoes, but they don't seem make them the same way any more. As noted above, if you wear a half size shoe, make sure you try the size below or you will have to trim the inserts.

It doesn't fit into any of my shoes ... all my shoes are 6.5. I thought a 6.5 of this insert would work. I guess not. If i get a size down to 6 of the insert, it is not going to fit my feet. A 6.5 of the insert probably will fit into size 7 shoes. Then i have to buy all my shoes size 7? This is a waste of money.

Ordered these to add comfort to Lowa hiking boots. Worked like a charm! As good as the ones from my podiatrist at much less cost.
