Powerstep Full Length Orthotic Shoe Insoles Original

I bought these because they were advertised as suitable for hockey and skating. The problem is that they are just too wide to fit into the anatomical design of a modern, standard width hockey skate. I overpronate terribly, and was getting a pressure point on the inside of my ankle in my 2019 Bauer Vapor X2.9's (standard width). I baked the skate twice and pushed out the pressure point but was still having pain. Using an old orthotic under the stock insole eliminated the pain and I wanted an integrated orthotic with insole. There was no way this was going in with a proper fit, so I deconstructed the insole, removed the orthotic, and ground down the perimeter to reduce the heel widths 2-3mm to permit the supports to fit. So now I am in the same boat as before, except ... MoreI bought these because they were advertised as suitable for hockey and skating.

So now I am in the same boat as before, except that I now have a spare pair of orthotics. I had a 10% coupon so for the money they can't be beat, as they provide about 90% of the support that my custom orthotics do, but overall I gave 2 stars because they just didn't function as advertised.

Lifesaver for Fallen Arches!

My 12 year old son has been using these inserts for 2 years to help with fallen arches and growing pains. They are very supportive and durable. We had to size up as his foot had grown. When we attended the rehab facility after a consultation with an orthopedic doctor, which resulted in over $200 worth of visits, copay, time, and these arch supports, this was a recommended suggestion by the physical therapist who was working with him on arch strengthening exercises. I wish we could. have gone back, saved our money and just invested in these in the beginning. He no longer complains of foot pain and uses them daily in his tennis shoes and sports shoes. They have been a lifesaver! I highly recommend these to all of our friends who have kids complaining of the same symptoms.

Not for me.

These insoles were the first recommendation on the site for most common problems. But they are not a good starting point and I find them really uncomfortable and will not be using them. They have a very high arch and ridges in the sole. They come very wide and I had to cut the thick plastic with a coping saw to make them fit my new balance trainers. Unfortunately a waste of money

Not quite small enough!

I bought these following assessment of my feet / gait and recommendation from a sports physician. I’ve only just started to use them, so can’t really comment yet on how effective they are at relieving the problems I have, but I will say they seem pretty comfortable and good quality, and ordering / delivery process was good. My biggest gripe so far - I have UK size 3.5-4 feet. I ordered the smallest size I could find (size A ) and they are too big for my shoes. I have needed to trim them (carefully) with scissors so I can fit them inside my shoes. It would be brilliant if you can make these in smaller sizes so that you can tailor for those of us with very small feet!

PowerStep Original Orthotic Insoles C: Men's 6-6.5 / Women's 8-8.5

These insoles are great. I got them to put in my golf shoes, even replacing the brand new insoles that came with the shoes. they offer wonderful arch support and are extremely thin, my feet feel padded even though the insoles are thin. Definately a great product.

PowerStep Original Orthotic Insoles E: Men's 8-8.5 / Women's 10-10.5

I.have a hammer toe on my left foot qnd a bunion on the right. Walking was somewhat painful. Podiatrist recommended power step insoles. I have found them to be just what I needed for comfortable walking.

PowerStep Original Orthotic Insoles I/J: Men's 12-13

Insoles are personal things, of course. All I know is that this one works for me to provide good moderate arch support. I'm in my late 60's and injured my instep last year on a walk, something popped in my arch (not good). The healing took a while. At last, I found these Power Step insoles after trying numerous others. I now own three pairs and exchange them in my shoes. No more foot pain! A very comfortable feel all day long...and they're not so thick, so they don't make your feet tight in the shoes. Firm, great arch support.

PowerStep Original Orthotic Insoles I/J: Men's 12-13

I recently purchased my second pair of PowerStep Original inserts from THE INSOLE STORE. I have been using the Power Step insoles for over 30 years. Every shoe has them inside. I purchase from The Insole Store because they have better prices than the "order today get it tomorrow" store. I highly recommend this insole and store to everyone.

Sceptical at first

I have been a runner for many years and always stopped by horrendous blisters on the ball of my foot and big toe. I have had many gait analyses and paid for very expensive made insoles, with limited success. I finally worked out, with the help of my physio student son that the problem was over pronation and decided to have one more go at sorting this out. I bought these for over pronators. As soon as I put them in my trainers it was clear that they were forcing my feet to land differently on the floor. They felt strange at first but I persevered. It’s early days but I have now ran 6 miles without as much as a red mark on my feet. I’m training for the GRN and so hopeful that I can finish it this time without the need for stopping and having my feet dressed! I would ... MoreI have been a runner for many years and always stopped by horrendous blisters on the ball of my foot and big toe.

Very Comfortable

I have an over pronation issue and complications resulting from a twice broken leg. NHS Podiatry services supplied insoles that helped but were immensely uncomfortable to wear so I was looking for an alternative. These are virtually identical in terms of the support provided but are so comfortable by comparison that I barely know they’re there.
