I have flat feet and usually use Superfeet green, but they are too expensive. Would this be a good alternative or are there better Dr. Scholls for me?

Podiatrist (foot doctor) can really help you. This product you are asking, for me works good. But I have another generic kind, smaller and cheaper, you can find it at Walmart or Drugstores jst for 5 dollars. I like it better.

I also have flat feet, and Dr. Scholls are good enough for me. But I guess you need to try

Bryce...i don't know if there is an exact answer to this question...i would try with and without the original sole and find which is best for you...

JCSF that is a great question, as I have that same problem and hate it! I am kind of picky about insoles, but I have found that the Dr Scholl's Active or Athletic series of insoles work the best for me in my workout, hiking, fashion boots, and even some of my fashion shoes and booties. Your feet stay cool, have great support, and comfort for those full days on your feet. FYI socks with all cotton, wool, or a wool blend will also help with keeping your feet cool and dry. They make thin, cute wool socks now a days. Good luck to you.

I think you have a better chance of these pads working for you. My problem was the tip of my toes. I hope this helps and I hope if you purchase them that they will help. Thanks for asking for my opinion.

Ah ............ Yes! ..... in my case, definitely! I had this issue in both heels/feet for quite a long time and I tried several things for relief. After a PT told me about the balls, I ordered them and they have made a world of difference. Now, I use them only when I feel a "tinge" of returning discomfort, and they remedy the issue right away. I would try them and I would guess that you will be very happy with the results.

Don't bother!!!! I would buy Alegria shoes or a good quality shoe that realigns your feet, I used those orthotics but they don't work and for a few more dollars u can buy a nice pair of shoes!!

I had problems on my first marathon a few years back and then I bought a pair of the standard green ones a couple year ago. I've since used them for training and have had NO issues with feet getting numb, sore or even arches getting 'worn out'. I recently used the green ones on my marathon last year and I can't complain... they worked AWESOME, no tired feet! I use them over the socks and readjusted the ties on my shoes. I will be purchasing the blue ones soon and hopefully they work just as well. By the way, I've had the green ones for a couple years now and it is still in great shape, use them weekly.

I am not sure for flat feet, but my podiatrist highly recommended them for my plantar fascitis(heel pain). I haven't tried them yet, due to just having foot surgery 10 days ago, but this is what I have to wear along with New Balance sneakers when I am allowed to wear shoes again in about a month.

I haven't tried the original to compare. I have only used in women's New Balance gym shoes and casual shoes (Drew brand) that have a deep toe bed. Works for me well in these shoes. I have a narrow foot and don't feel squished, but these type of shoes are roomy.

Thank you so much for your response!! I ended up purchasing a Sole E35 last week based on warranty and several reviews regarding long term maintenance, but I'm not sure the stride (21") will be the most comfortable. I did try out a Spirit a year or so ago, and at the time their machines were identical to Sole's; the stride on that one was ok, but I'll have to see. I really appreciate that you took the time to reply and I am so glad your machine works well for you! If the one I bought doesn't turn out I will know just what to replace it with. Your post was so helpful! Thanks again!!

Neo G Medical Grade Super Soft Bunion correction system - LeftThis splint is soft and comfortable, also seems to be holding up pretty well over 6 months of nightly use. Won't fit in a shoe really. Best bet for that is just the gel toe seperators imo.

The Evo Tour version (about $30 more) have the heel riser - many find it helpful if you are ascending steep slopes, but IMHO these are not the snowshoes for mountaineering.

I used the silipos. It helps but barely. It mostly helps with the level of discomfort of certain shoes.

Take a look at Superfeet insoles. There are several varieties to basic support (blue), more support and cushioning )green) and cushioning with support (orange).

The Adjust-A-Lift Heel was fine for my problem, and may be for Lyn's, but first I would visit a foot doctor. A professional will be able to give good advice and may recommend different types of shoes.

Not a Dr by any means, but you've stated too different but sometimes related conditions.Traditional wisdom would say flat feet equals low arches, ergo YELLOW but you should always consult your Dr.

I have flat feet and they work well for me. I found them a bit uncomfortable in the arch when I first started using them because I could feel the arch. But, as I continued using them they became very comfortable.
