Dr. Frederick's Original Arch Support Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis Relief - 6Pcs - High Arch Support Inserts for Flat Feet - for Men & Women - Can be Worn with Shoes - Better Than Foot Brace

So I'm not sure why these only have 3.5 stars???I've got an extremely high arch. I was a Bellerina on toe shoes for many many years. That being said I do believe being born with an unnaturally high arch as it is being on toe shoes for years not only destroyed my feet and caused my arches to be even higher!!! (No I would NOT change being a pro-dancer for much of my life! I Loved it) I'm not a dancer anymore life has a way of sneaking up on you and before you know you're in your 40's ⬆️ and a Granny of three Beautiful Granddaughters! Yes we have our hands full! Anyway, sorry I'm a rambler lol!I've got serious back issues and had to have surgery that fixed the problem while simultaneously giving me another problem.I secretly wish I'd NEVER had my back surgery at all! Even tho we're not sure what could have happened had I not had the surgery, possibly wheelchair. I was also in an extremely abusive relationship for too many years. There was a cyst on my spine the docs were pretty sure was my spinel fluid leaking from trauma.. My body created a wall to contain it. It would have more than likely continued to grow as the pain kept increasing to a point my only other option was mad RX drugs! And NO thank you! I know too many people that have developed a habit from taking the same meds to control pain! My body is very battered but not broken! It kills me every day knowing what my body was once capable of. We all get old! Do NOT beat yourself up over that! Is what I tell myself on the daily! I've lived A Lot in my years. So not only do I have back problems, I've got neuropathy and mental illness but we won't get into all that lol! My feet ache if I don't have support. Let's face it most women's shoes don't have adequate support unless you pay a fortune and then they're not always the cutest. Until now! These arch inserts are Amazing! Mine have to be in a weird spot bc of how high my arches are but they do the trick! I can now wear my cute sandals that don't have much support! Having the correct arch support has made a difference in my days! One wouldn't think just adding some support to shoes could make such a difference! These arches are for a HIGH Arch! If you do not have high arches these will hurt your feet! For me they could be just a touch higher but they work as is! My back pain is greatly reduced, my feet don't ache just standing in place or walking to the coffee store a few blocks down from work when I'm exhausted! They've made a Great improvement in my life! If you've got high arches you will Love these! This is a little tip I learned. Since these stick best on your 1st use wipe your shoe and BEFORE you peel this off the plastic align them w/your arch to figure out where you'll need to place it in your shoe. Then try your shoe on and get an idea of where your arch is in your shoe. I use a pen to make a Very small mark on the side of my shoe where my arch is. Place your arches in and boom! You've got much more comfort in the shoes you've been wishing you could wear!Even with shoes that already have footbed support everyone's arches sit differently. Some even bug me if the support isn't in the right spot I get shooting nerve pain up my foot. It's not the best feeling! I use these arches in some of those kind of shoes as well!I hope all my rambling has helped.Thank You for making these arch supports! I'm a customer for life!

So I bought these because my arch is collapsing and I have doctor prescription orthotics that only fit into a few shoes. I bought these so I could wear some of my other expensive comfortable shoes, like Dansko, Cobb Hill, and Vionic to build up the arch more. I wanted to like them and they do so much good the way they stick to your shoe but it is like walking on a hard rock. It doesn't gradually raise up and my foot got sore, like bruised, from the use. I think they are good for short events but don't plan to walk all over the city of San Francisco in them. Or if you do, don't use them for a few days so your foot can recover. Best for me is for occasions when I want cute shoes but not a lot of walking.

I like the firmness and height of these arch inserts. However, while the application is easy they aren’t very sticky and don’t stay in place.

This is a lifesaver for all those who have flat feet, i use two of these gels and that makes it a bit uncomfortable at first but definitely helps with the feet turning inward.SO its a WIN WIN and this also works for my wife`s sandals as its clear.The one thing to note here is the glue comes off when it gets wet but can be re-stuck with some super glue or shoe glue when the shoe is dry.Its not too pricey so you can have one pair in every shoe.

I needed high arch support. I do a fair amount of walking at my job. Having no arch support in my shoes was causing pain to my ankles. I was hoping these were the answer. They were not. They were so uncomfortable and painful. I thought I just had to break them in or something. After I took them off and drive home, I could barely walk. My poor arches hurt so bad. Definitely do not recommend.

These arch supports are a big help, they are a good size that covers my whole arch not just a little part of it, They are firm yet not painful when I walk. They stick easily into my shoes except my flip -flops, they don't stick on them for some reason but they did on other shoes. They have helped my knee pain. I would buy more.

Weird shape. Does not stay attached and travels in the shoe. But a great company, they contacted me after the review and had proposed a refund. I use a number of their products that never had any problems hence was a bit surprised by this one.

They hurt at first but have really helped my arches, providing support. Great product.
