Review on Full Support Orthotic Insoles - Correct Flat Feet, Over-Pronation, And Fallen Arches - Dr. Foot (Extra Small - Women'S 4.5-6, Men'S 3.5-5) by Terri Kolb

These just arrived. I replaced a "new" pair of gel insoles with these to see how well they work. They feel just like new shoes used to feel when I was a kid. The arch support is.severe. I expect my arches to hurt for a few days while they get used to these insoles. After that, I suspect my feet will feel fine. The heel support in these is better than the gels. There is almost no toe cushioning in these. Tomorrow I have to be on my feet a lot. It will be a good test of them. Just in case though, I am taking the gels if this gets to be too much.UPDATE: After wearing these for a whole day, my feet are sore and tired. But they hurt in a good way. My arches ache and need a rest, but I made it through the day with these insoles, and I am likely going to continue to use them, and eventually they will feel just fine, and hopefully will make my feet in general hurt less.UPDATE 2: After wearing these two days on, two days off, and three days on, I can say these work very well. The first two days my feet were getting used to the extra arch support, and my feet were tired and sore at the end of each day. After the second set of three days, all the other pains in my feet are gone, and the arches are just tired, not really sore. This is how Orthotics work. Don't worry about these being "too hard".they're supposed to be. If you get the softer ones, they won't work as well.
