Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These heel cups basically support the back 2/3's of your foot (which takes all the pressure) in a wide V-shape. This means the pressure of your weight avoids the center line where your "heel bone" is.
I have flat feet, and the padding over my heel is very thin. When I stand without shoes, my ankles bend inward, and on a hard floor my heel is uncomfortable. I've tried lots of different shoe inserts, but I don't notice much difference except in this one.
When I spent most of my time walking and sitting, these inserts worked great in my sneakers. Now, I stand all day for work and I wear the inserts with boots. If I wear shoes without the inserts for a couple days my feet quickly develop a "my feet hurt" and a "I'm tired of standing" feeling. My legs also get sore more easily.
Be forewarned, the first couple days I wore these, my ankles felt a little funny, almost sore (very minimal discomfort). After a week, my ankles had adjusted and were perfectly happy. After a couple weeks, I could switch between inserts or no-inserts without my ankles noticing. Keep in mind, this was very small discomfort, I only just noticed it because I was paying attention.
***NOTE***: You will need to use these in decent shoes, not girly-pathetic shoes. These supports flex to fit in your shoe, so they need your shoe to have sides that press back against them. For example, you can place them in boots, sneakers, and men's dress shoes. When placed in a low "flat," like a Mary Jane, they will not work. (When you apply your weight, the support will flatten and press outwards. This widens your shoe instead of supporting your foot.) You probably shouldn't be wearing that kind of shoe if you want happy feet anyway!
Also, I've worn the same pair for 3 yrs. Recently, the fabric has started to wear away.
