I own a pair of betterform inserts that I put in my new balance trail shoes. They work well. I decided to buy a different pair of inserts for my Timberland casual shoes. The only difference I can spot is the color of the insert and the signage. The powersteps have a lower price point. My Timberlands have a flexible outer and the shoe manufacturers insert comes out so the powerstep inserts were a no brainer.

Just take out the shoe manufacturers insert and place the powerstep inserts in their place. It takes about a month for your body to adjust to the inserts.

I tried out the Pinnacle the Superfeet between those two the Pinnacle is better. I couldn't believe the comfort of the Arches support. On the Superfeet it had good comfort but still a little hard on the forefoot I used them in basketball shoes and they seem to be holding up pretty well. They have good cushion I wouldn't say spectacular but they have just enough to where you don't mind wearing them while you play I have been looking for more of a cushiony setup but this Pinnacle really surprise me with how comfortable it was. It was definitely worth the try and out of the two I would pick the Pinnacle over the Superfeet athletic

I have ordered these multiple times and use them to replace the insoles of all shoes where they will fit. I have very miserable feet and I over pronate so these make my feet much less miserable and improve hip and back pain by correcting the pronation problem. If possible, I remove the insoles from the shoes I purchase and add 2-3 Equate Comfort Cushion Insoles (similar to"Dr. Scholls Air Pillo"s)-whatever will fit without making the shoes too tight and then place these over the top. If you have never worn something with a supportive arch, they may feel uncomfortable at first. I started with original blue power steps and then moved up to Pinnacle and now I don't want to be without the Pinnacles, ever. I have tried over 30 different brands of insoles and have a full bag and hundreds of wasted dollars on inserts that didn't help. These are what work for me. I can highly recommend Zappos for trying new things because they have a large selection and generous return policy and they pay shipping both ways. Once you find what works, Amazon provides the affordable option for purchasing more. I was always forced to buy very expensive athletic shoes that still were not comfortable without these inserts and additional padding, but recently tried the Pinnacles with 3 cushioned pads in some clearance men's shoes from Walmart and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they were and my adult son even complimented the look of the shoes. The most expensive part of that combo is the inserts (they were more than the shoes and inserts combined). But the best news is they might just expand your shoe options. So if you suffer like I do, give them a try and if they don't work try other options until you find something that does.

I noticed a difference immediately. Even while at work I noticed my feet weren't hurting like they usually do. My feet do not hurt as much at night now (it was to the point where I couldn't sleep on my back because of the pressure on my heels. I think next time I will buy one half size up, because these do feel just a bit small in my work shoes.

These made me notice that I have not been walking correctly on my right foot, which has probably added to the pain. Working on correction my walking posture with these inserts as a guide.

Does not completely get rid of the ache, but these are the best inserts I've yet to find.

The moment I put my foot in my shoes I knew these were the right insoles. I have a very high arch and I have gone through dozens of insoles looking for the right combination of arch support, heal support and cushioning. These insoles have all three. There is just the right amount of arch support with the hard plastic portion of the insole which also extends to the heel area which helps with cushioning and stability. The front portion of the insole unfortunately is just like any average one which is why I gave it four stars not five. Note: the insole takes up quite a bit of room in your shoe so if your shoes are tight you may not be able to use them.
