Query: Not the panacea it was made out to be

The instant I put these in my shoes, I could tell something was wrong. I chose to ignore it, since the packaging mentioned that discomfort was normal. Each step felt uncomfortable and heavy. After about a week of no relief whatsoever, I decided to return to amazon. Since I kept the packaging, it was a very painless process. My advice is to buy these, and after a couple of weeks (if you can stand them for that long) you can decide if you want to keep them or not. Just keep the original packaging (including the amazon box) and return if they're not everything you thought they would be.
