Are these good for supinators as well? I have plantar fasciitis. Thanks!

I could not say if they are good for supinators. For sure they helpe me with being able to walk when my plantar fasciitis.

These are a neutral insert. If you have the right shoe these inserts will not change the effect of the shoe itself. Because if you roll you need the stability in the shoe, thus the "right" shoe to prevent the rolling. But I would recommend the insert its neutral.

I'm not sure what supinators are but I am sold on the ability of the right shoe and the Powerstep Pinnacles to maintain constant relief from my PL. Regarding the right shoe, my podiatrist told be to never buy a shoe that you can break at the arch. It needs to be very rigid at that point.

They are excellent for foot pain your condition could be corrected by a pediatrice but it wouldn't hurt to try a pair and see if they give you relief during your daily activities.

I don't think so. Amazon Marketplace has shoes & insoles expressly for the supinator deviation. However there is a good website that has info about various foot conditions. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/beforeyoubuy/a/aabyb_shoes.htm

Absolutely. They last as long if not longer than the regular tips and give more stability. I've used them for years and wear them down to smooth before changing to another pair. PK

I use them to relieve plantars faciitis. I wear them on a daily basis. They are very comfortable and protect my heel. I believe Dr Scholl's will keep your feet very comfortable.

I originally bought them to help strengthen my feet with symptoms of weakness and discomfort on the top but never really got into a good regimen.Then came the plantar facsiitis with heel spurs on one foot. Right now using the foot wakers I want to say yes they help stretch and strengthen the foot and also break up the scar tissue. I would recommend and wish you success with happy feet again!

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

These aren't meant to fix the bunion, but to just slow down the progression. I wear them to help align my wayward big toe and for the extra cushioning it provides my bunion. In this aspect, it most definitely helps!

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.

I don't know. That is not my problem. My foot problem is a High arch and plantar fascitis. I have to have a rigid high arch insole and have always used superfeet. I went with yours this time because your advertisement said they were comparable to superfeet. They were not for my high arch problem. Thank you.

I bought them for toe positioning. Due to lower leg weakness, they weren't useful,but I think they would do what you want.

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

Hi Pam, sorry, I don't know if they do or not. I experienced calf muscle cramps while wearing them. They just were not for me.

I use them for yoga when my wrists are stressed. I'm a drummer for a living. They seem to allow me to practice my yoga routine without a lot of discomfort. I recommend them.

I've tried it all. This is the best I've found for plantar fasciitis. The hard plastic stabilizes the heel, gel will not. The heel cup provides almost immediate relief. I was amazed.

They are sold for use in yoga...If you stand on the incline, you can stretch out the calf. If you're familiar with yoga, the stretch might be likened to downward dog. This stretch can help with plantars fasciitis in the foot. The foam density is like a pool noodle - very firm.

I don't think width of the feet has any significance in effectiveness of orthotics; if you need them, use them. For supinated feet, good arch support and heel lifts to align your feet into central position helps a lot. For this particular item, I didn't find it too useful.

Probably would feel good - what do you suffer from? Try the ex's in the book Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis or The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if your feet have those problems. Hope this helps.
