Seem expensive, but worth every penny. I had plantar fasciitis for 2 years & never want to go through that again. The PT told me to always have a good arch support, not just the foam kind. He recommended these. I even put them in my Brooks Adrenalines (running shoes). I'm on my feet for work, & these are life-savers. They won't fit in my dress shoes, but they're in my clogs & everything I can put them in.

Ridiculously expensive but they really are the best insoles I have worn. They are desperately uncomfortable for the first two days, and after that they are an absolute life saver. I have high arches and narrow heels that always slip around in my shoes, these help make the fit better as well as adding arch support.

I'm not too crazy about the insoles. I purchased these and the RX version that looks similar but they're full length. I don't like either insole. I don't find them to give me any arch support which is the whole point of purchasing these. The RX bunched up and were a size too big and these just are not comfortable at all. It gives me the same amount of arch support as insoles that come with shoes. Sadly, I'm returning both insoles

Style is NA because they are orthotics and noone can see them when you have your shoes on. These made some cool looking but not so comfortable shoes amazing. Athey are a little wide so it may screw up the leather on these otherwise flat boots but so far there is no effect. 3/4 length is great because it has great arch and heel support and doesnt crowd out your toes. you cannot feel the edge. perfect.

What a find! After I blew out my knee skiing in 1984, and learned that I had chondromalacia, I got some custom-made PAL orthotics. I wore those for 25 years, until my beloved Chesapeake Bay Retriever chewed them beyond repair. I got some new ones to the tune of $500, but they never fit right, so I abandoned them and finally got some Dr. Scholl's at the drug store. I sort of bought these as a "what the heck" purchase, since the Scholl's didn't really give me enough support for my extremely high arches. I didn't realize when I bought them that these were moldable! After a few iterations of boiling them, shaping them, testing and tweaking, I now -- finally -- have orthotics that work the way my ancient PALs did. Hurrah! I can't recommend these enough if you have really high arches and problematic knees.

These are wonderful. They are a true orthotic not just an insole. I had a bad fall that resulted in all kinds of tears and bruising in my ankles/legs etc. Although I mostly had healed, I was still having problems with my walking and had developed planters fascia. I had custom orthotics made at the foot doctor. I was never comfortable in them and after several adjustments stopped wearing them. I then found these, in 2 weeks of daily wearing it was like night and day... I wore them everyday for a year. My feet have been good since. I still use them occasionally if I have a day I'll be on my feet a lot. Don't hesitate buy these!

My doctor recommended I try these first, before going to custom inserts. They do seem to help, I've been using them for about 3 weeks, still experience some heel pain in the mornings, but not as constant or severe as before.

Much too wide. I am a woman and these insoles seem to be only for men. The width should have been indicated along with the size.

I am a teacher with bunions and flat feet. As I get older and my feet get wider it has been difficult finding comfortable shoes to wear to work. I used to wear Vionic's slim fit insert but lately my feet were not completely happy. I decided to switch to these inserts based on reviews I saw in the vionic insert reviews. I'm glad I did. For the first time in years my feet are not tired and achy AT ALL after a full days work. Also if you have wide feet and wide shoes, these orthotics will fit better. I will be buying more of these soon.

I wear a size 10 N and have high arches. I wear the smallest Spenco size a size 1, ithe women's size chart they give does not correspond. In my opinion women should only buy a size 1. But these have saved my feet and knees!!! In my Adidas running shoes, I even place 2 Spenco arch supports (since sports shoes never come in narrow and I have to wear a size longer) and I can walk for miles! These arch supports have removed all knee pain for me! I highly recommend them.

Very comfortable, but with the plastic bottoms they slide forward in the shoe. Would suggest a piece of double sided ape to keep them from moving.

This insole has good arch support. Feels comfortable. For sneakers, I think the full insole would have been better. This one is a little wide to fit in other types of shoes besides the athletic shoes.

I have high arches and even companies with a past reputation of making quality shoes, no longer make shoes with good arch supports. These Spencos were the perfect solution. The 3/4 sole takes some getting used to, but if you also have a high instep like me, the 3/4 sole is a better fit when you need more foot-room in the front of the shoe.

These just arrived. I put them in my old tennis shoes and I'm not sure I'd like them there. I put them into my Crocs (don't judge me) and it worked really well! We'll see how they work out after a while wearing them!

Supportive, hard plastic arch with soft covering. Good for shoes where you need the additional arch support but not take any extra width in the toes. My only caveat is that the front edge does not taper so I could feel the ridge under my forefoot. I returned this and went with a full insole where I could remove the shoe's original insole completely. I wear Spenco in two other pairs of shoes already.

These insoles are a lifesaver. After countless hours of walking and standing all day on the job and vacations, I don't feel the usual aches that I normally would before I started wearing these. I've brought these on multiple trips that involve being on my feet and will do so for many years to come.

I have used these and the full length footbed liners for many years. They do a great job of support and comfort for my feet. They can last for a few years depending on your activities. I have very flat feet and these insoles are in every shoe I wear.

These amazing 3/4 insoles saved my feet! I have severe plantar fasciitis in both feet and these inserts have been the most comfortable, durable and easy-to-switch out insoles. I bought various kinds of inserts and tried them all and I am back to order a few more insoles from Spenco simply because I don't want to have to switch them every time I switch shoes. I don't even both with the other insoles anymore, and have been able to rejoin my dance aerobics class thanks to these fantastic orthotics!

I have been working in retail for 8 years and never really had a problem with my feet until about 3 years ago. I started having problems with my right foot and find out I have tibialis tendinitis. I had to wear a brace first; then a boot. It helped but once it came off I have to get case for Orthotics. They have been working great but I still have some pains in my right foot but not as bad, but now I'm having problems with my left foot and he recommended I get another pair of Orthotics but the problem is my insurance doesn't cover them and I don't have the money to pay out of pocket. So I asked my friends what they recommend and all of the said Spenco and I'm glad I asked them because they are better than the Orthotic I have from the Dr's and they were a reasonable price. I will be getting another pair.

I was recommended by my orthopedic doctor to buy these to help with my plantar fasciitis, and I am so glad I did! It is great for me as I have extremely high arches and these give me so much more comfort during the day than I ever had with past insoles. Best part is, I wasn't able to run for a long time before getting these. Now I have been able to run farther and farther ever since I got these a couple months ago. Excellent product.

These 3/4 orthotic insoles work really well in my smaller shoes. However, they didn't fit properly in my larger shoes, in which the arch support didn't meet my arch.
Now I didn't try heating them and molding them, so that might make them conform to my feet better. But I don't want to take the time now to do so. Therefore you should take this review with a grain of salt.
For the shoes in which these fit well, they provide wonderful arch support. So I am happy with them and have purchased full Orthaheel Relief Medium Support orthotic insoles for my larger shoes.
