Will these help plantar faciitis if you have a high arch?

I have a high arch and they help me with the pain. I wear them all the time-except when sleeping.

Yes. These are good. You might want to go to a red wing shoe or Walgreen and try a pressure reading for the feet. Gels last only a few months then need replacing

These are gel like inserts with little arch support. They are made with pressure point areas on the bottom. For me personally they have helped with my Plantar Fasciitis more than I would have ever thought.

I find they're more for adding comfort than arch support. There was an uncomfortable raised spot that was bugging the middle of my foot so I switched the left and right and wore them opposite. I'm guessing maybe that was the arch part.

I have very flat feet and that was why I purchased them. You will feel the arch from this insert that you wish your foot had naturally.

I would suspect that they would not work. I found these to be very uncomfortable and putting more pressure on the center of the bottom of the heel. If you are addressing plantar fasciitis; I found the profoot inserts that support the heel and arch provided significant relief.

I have flexible arches, but do have orthotics to insert into the boots. This year I ordered a 1.2 size larger (10.5)because my large toes were rubbing. But I wore the size 10 for several years.

I believe you would benefit from wearing these with your inserts, unless they won't fit in the shoe. I have terrible heel pain, and these DO help me.

Neither, I tried them and they are worthless. That's my opinion. I need an orthotic arch support and these were not the answer - I emphasize - for me. But, go bigger than smaller!

If you are looking for a defined arch support this would not work. They are a very thin gel insert. They have placed the gel and designed the bottom just right to relieve certain pressure points in the feet. I have plantar fasciitis and they work GREAT for this. I do have a pair in my running/walking shoes and they are great for me, but I don't have flat feet. Hope this helps.

It seemed tall enough for me, but I have plantar faciitis. Since your problem is in the heal it might also be enough. You should probably check with your doctor though to be sure.

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

Yes somewhat, as it does fill up shoe space, but the beauty is how the arch helps make a higher heel keep your feet comfortable and capable of wearing longer periods w/o wanting to kick off shoes.

I do not wear arch supports. But i do not think these will go over them. In some of my shoes where this insole doesn't work I use the pedag gel metatarsal pads. They may work for you as they can sit under the arch support. They are one size only and not such a good fit in very slim shoes, but you can trim them back a bit. It is really a bit of trial and error if you need another type of support as well. There are other insoles on the market which have both arch and metatarsal suppots but they are not as thin as pedag ones.

No, they are Definetly high rise! If you are a little heavier, they should work great! Good luck!

I have had flat feet, and developed plantar fasciitis which lasted five years. The ailment was completely resistant to conventional treatment. I started using the Strutz product, which never claimed to treat this. The application of pressure to the arch of my feet always had relieved the pain in my heel. The very moment I applied the support the pain went away... I had gone to the Chiropractor to have my feet fitted for arch support, but the arch had been lifted; hence no need for the insoles. My whole posture has changed. The only drawback: once I started wearing these I cannot leave them off even for a day. I bought many pairs for fear that some day they may not produce these. I love them, and no, I do not have stock in the company.. I gave some to my sister, and she also loves them... Good Luck. Hope this helps.

Yes. They have a great arch support. I use them because I have a high arch, but my son usez them because his foot overpronates which flattens his arch when walking.
