This worked great as a shoe insert when I broke my fifth metatarsal. It made my shoe stiff so it didn’t hurt when I walked

Does not have any flexibility

I have a part time courier job. When driving the constant pressing on the brake pedal caused me pain by the end of my shift. I tried a pair of hiking shoes with a metal shank and that fixed the problem but as you can imagine they are a bit clunky to drive with and with the constant in and out of the car. I thought these were a bit pricey but they did the trick. They are very thin and fit under the insole in most of my shoes. Highly recommend for any other couriers with pedal foot pain.

I have a broken bone in my foot and needed a solid base to walk on.

Great product

I purchased these for my arthritis big toes. Works as advertised. Would purchase again if needed.

This is easy to insert in your shoe under the insole and makes your shoe inflexible. It has helped with my foot pain and can be used in either the right or left shoe.

The overall shape isn’t great for the width or length of the shoe, and the next size up would probably ruin the shoe by cutting into the sides trying to stuff it in there—while still being too narrow.However, it still “works” by helping to reduce the strain from impact when you’re landing on your toes (as you should). They’re okay for basketball, which is what I purchased them for. And there is a noticeable increase to the bounce/spring in your step. And once you’ve said goodbye to your 30’s, but you’re still playing against guys in their 20’s… every little bit of extra bounce is appreciated!In order for them to be ideal for basketball, they’d need to fit more accurately so they don’t slip around in there. The little sticky tabs work for a few games, and while a good glue (gorilla non-expanding) lasts longer… it’s not great for the shoe itself!I’d say these are better suited for less intense exercise like jogging.Anything that requires hard and quick movements in all directions is a bit much for these particular inserts.
