Review on πŸ‘£ Powerstep SlimTech Pinnacle 3/4 Inserts for Men and Women - Neutral Arch Support, Plantar Fasciitis & Achilles Tendonitis Relief, Low Profile Design by Jacob Guerrero

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I can't live without them **UPDATE August 28, 2019** NOT THE SAME

These are by far the best orthotics I have ever used. I have Morton's neuroma on one leg, which I've practically forgotten since I got sick a few years ago. I mostly wear flats, but they work with the few pairs of low heels I wear occasionally. I've had a pair for years and only replace them because the blue lining has worn out. The black foam pad protrudes slightly beyond the white plastic overlay. As I took off my shoes, I learned to loosen the laces enough that I could lift the arch of the foot far enough away from the orthosis without pulling on my toe and catching on the edge of the foam near the ball of my foot. Over time my shoe box will start to take shape and it will become less of a problem even if I end up breaking that part of the foam padding. Eventually I rip them off as my shoes get a permanent dent holding them in place. I'm hard on them. i live in them I love her. **UPDATE** It's not the same anymore. I have the ones pictured above with smooth white soles, but to my dismay the new ones are black, ribbed and more flexible. Like I said mine take years to wear out and I didn't discover this design change until I ordered new footpads because they sounded like they had more cushioning. There are a little less on the heel than I noticed. The Foot Petals have the same cushioning layer (except pink) as the old Slim Tech, but a new black ribbed outsole that flexes a little more and is lighter than the white Slim Tech sole. I'm disappointed that I can't put my old Slim Tech on Revain anymore, and be aware I'm comparing the "Foot Petals" here to the old Slim Tech, but I doubt there'll be much of a difference.
