Review on NEENCA Medical Grade Orthotic Insoles For Plantar Fasciitis, Arch Support Inserts For Running Shoes, Gel Insoles For Flat Feet, High Arch, Fallen Arch, And Foot Pain Relief by Julie Clark

I developed plantar fasciitis probably 9 years ago and have been using a variety of off the shelf insoles, and am the owner of three different sets of custom orthotics (that costly ridiculous amount of money).My experience over time has taught me that I can get by just fine with a very high quality, well molded and stiff insole with high arch support, molded heel positioning, and the rigidity overall to last a while.For my use, these insoles are a "soft hit” on my important points, and I think strike a good balance between the softness and comfort many people probably expect when purchasing these kinds of insoles. This would be versus something that may actually be a replacement for your custom orthotics.These are a great fit for those of you that need arch support, molded heel cup, and plan to use something like this in a athletic shoe or a comfortable sneaker. If you are a user of custom orthotics with a very stiff and rigid footbed – to give you unyielding arch and heel positioning support - this is probably not the best substitution.However, as I said, it strikes a good balance and for the price you can't argue with it, I don't think. There are many other off the shelf orthotic type insoles I've purchased that don't reach this level of quality and have cost $10 to $15 more than these. For that alone I give it five stars. Everything about the support you get from these insoles is acceptable and good. But, there's nowhere near enough rigidity in both the heel and the arch for me to call these a true replacement of my custom orthotics. But, that's not going to stop me from using these for many hours at a time in my softer more comfortable shoes. Highly recommended.
