FootActive Comfort Premium Insoles - M (UK 7/8.5

I always knew I overpronated as the insides of my shoe soles would wear down first but I didn't see it as a massive problem and looking at insoles I was put off by spending around £20 on something I didn't think I needed. Recently I've started experience knee pain, and bad pain on the balls of my feet with some skin splitting. I was about to head to the doctors for help and also spend money on seeing a podiatrist, before I did, I thought, why not try orthotic insoles? The change is incredible, just a few days in, no more pain and my feet are heeling up. Also 1. I always thought i was just clumsy and never felt perfectly steady on my feet (never mastered the art of wearing heels and always joke that 'if i think about walking too hard I fall over'), with the insoles I suddenly feel very sturdy and balanced and my length of stride has even improved and 2. my posture has drastically improved, I believed I was just a natural slumper and needed to put more effort into standing up straight and walking tall. Turns out, it wasn't will power I was lacking but correct alignment. Now I'm naturally standing/walking with good posture and it would take effort to slump rather than vice versa. They insoles themselves take a little bit of getting used to so build up the time you spend walking with them but, if, like me, you have even the slightest concern about your posture / pronation, do not hesitate. it will likely be the best investment you can make for healthy feet and joints.

I had custom-made soles made by a podiatrist but needed a new pair urgently. Since these ones are one piece, I think it'll be much easier to place them in different pairs of shoes without damaging them too much. I initially bought them to put them in my walking shoes but finally used them in some Vans slip-ons while travelling abroad for 4 days. I had no pain at all although I walked a LOT, so they work just as well as the one I got from a podiatrist ! I felt very pleased about it, since it means I can buy more in the future with no worry. I'd like to try the ones fit for the gym next. One default I would say : my UK feet size is between 7.5 (trainers, boots) and 8 (sandals, leather city shoes). I bought a medium size which is from 7 to 8.5 but ended cutting to size 7. So the soles might be a bit too long by default ? I might have to buy a smaller size in hope for them to fit inside my walking shoes which have a lot more padding inside.

I have flat feet/very very bad rolling arches, plus a heal spur. I have a proper pair of NHS orthotics insoles. I have the problem that I need multiple pairs to put into different shoes and I don’t always have enough time to sit and swap my insoles into different shoes and boots! The NHS charges for me about £180 per additional pair needed which isn’t financially practical. I bought these which I already knew were a fraction too large with the knowledge that you can trim them down, and that worked well. These have worked excellently for me. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending these to others who have similar issues. The only thing I would say, is if you have a new heal spur issue, and it’s super painful to walk barefooted, then these aren’t the right insoles for you because they don’t have enough cushioning someone with an acute condition needs. I’ve have my heal spur a year and it’s manageable. I have bought spongy insoles from Amazon when I first developed the very painful condition before I had a chance to be seen by the NHS orthotics dept. A super spongy insole really helped specially during such a painful period, but unfortunately no one makes a super spongy heal insole with an excellent arch support, you just have to choose which is the most crucial. I still have a heal spur but it’s settled down and I have to be aware not to walk miles without additional padding and these insoles work fine.

Excellent product. Provides the support necessary and keeps the foot in the correct position thus alleviating the cause of the foot pain. They are not soft or padded, if they were they probably wouldn't be doing their job but they are still comfortable to wear. I worked a 12 hour shift with them and my feet felt less tired than without them. They definitely reduced the strain.

Excellent product, poor service!

I find these great insoles - they really change the way i walk which i need! They were painful the first day as i got used to them & had to cut them down to size but since then have been great - will buy another pair so i dont have to constantly move them between shoes

Put these into my boots and felt immediate relief from back pain ! They take some getting used to as you feel as if you have a big smooth stone in your boot under the arch. They recommend wearing these to start with for just a few hours each day until you get used to them but the relief I feel in my back will ensure I perserve with these. Very simple to cut to size as there is an outline for each size. My feet feel beautifully supported. Only four stars as they do feel slightly uncomfortable to start with but that feeling does go as one becomes more used to wearing them.

I find these insoles good strength and very comfortable underfoot. They give me the instep lift I require and I think they are good quality

plantari disegnati da podologi australiani, distribuiti pero' da azienda inglese. Consigliati per fascite plantare e spina calcaneare, la prima è un'infiammazione della parte inferiore del tallone mentre la seconda è causata dalla pronazione del piede che causa un abbassamento dell'arco longitudinale. Sono consigliate inoltre per problemi alla schiena, alle ginocchia, al tendine di achille e per la metatarsalagia, dolore localizzato nella parte anteriore del piede, riferito specialmente alle teste metatarsali, appena prima delle dita. Grazie a questi plantari si ammortizza non solo il tallone ma viene supportato anche l'arco longitudinale, in modo che il piede riconquisti la sua posizione naturale. I plantari non sostituiscono il medico ma possono diminuire dolori e disagi nella camminata. Per alleviare i sintomi si consiglia anche di fare esercizi specifici, ridurre attivita' sportiva e lavorativa su superfici dure, applicare borsa di ghiaccio su zona dolorante per 5-10 minuti tre o quattro volte al giorno. Tutte queste info ed altre le trovate all'interno degli opuscoli. Esistono sia i modelli a mezzo piede che modelli a piede intero (vedere foto). Le solette vanno inserite all'interno delle scarpe togliendo eventuali solette estraibili a secondo del tipo di calzatura, altrimenti vanno messe sopra le solette gia' esistenti. Io ho acquistato taglia M 42-43 per scarpa taglia 43, pero' ho testato il funzionamento anche per scarpe 45. Le solette mezzo piede è possibile utilizzarle anche in scarpe leggermente piu' grandi o piccole, cosa che invece non si puo' fare con quelle intere. Le consiglio vivamente, risultano veramente efficaci e ci permettono di utilizzare le nostre vecchie paia di scarpe senza doverle gettare nella spazzatura. Per chi invece non ha di questi problemi, una soluzione sono le scarpe skechers, morbide e avvolgenti che possono essere utilizzate senza plantari.

Ces semelles sont de très bonne qualité et s'ajuste très bien avec des repères pour découper cette dernière. Après une semaine d'utilisation je n'ai rien à redire, elles sont confortables et agréables. Je recommande vivement !

Avoir un semelle adaptée à mes problèmes, et qui résout ceux-ci, c'est parfait. Amortissement et confort du pied, quand on est sensible, c'est ce qu'offrent ces semelles. Ayant un oignon sous le gros orteil gauche, j'ai ôter l'appui en coupant la semelle d'un trou à cette endroit. De fait il n'y a plus appui et donc plus de douleur. Le semelle est parfaite de maintient malgré cette découpe.

J'ai commandé ces semelles car a la suite de ma fracture tibia/péroné j'ai eu un problème d'affaissement de la voute plantaire (pied plat) J'avais de grosses douleurs au talon et en bas du dos j'ai demande des conseils a mon chirurgien orthipediste qui ma conseillé de mettre des semelles orthopédiques avec soutient de la voute plantaire. Depuis que je les portes je ne ressent plus de douleurs .Donc merci pour ce bon produit que je recommande yeux fermé a quiconque aurait ce genre de problème il vous faudra juste un moment d'adaptation (pour moi au bout d' 1 heure c'était bon ) car au début ce n'est pas spécialement agréable du fait que l'on a pas l'habitude. Au passage la livraison à été faite dans les délais.

Je suis déçu par ce produit. Il est difficile à positionner et pas très confortable.
