WalkFit Platinum Orthotics - Arch Support Insoles - Plantar Fasciitis - Class 1 Medical Device

I have some custom made orthotics which cost me a fortune (£270 about 10 years ago). They are, without a doubt, the best orthotics I've ever had. BUT it's a pain keep swapping them from shoe to shoe and I'm forever hunting for something cheap to keep in my most used shoes/boots for dog walking and dog agility. Foam orthotics, even the high density foam ones, just compress too much and end up giving little to no support. I have a fairly high arch so I need something supportive. And since having a bilateral ceilectomy, I find I NEED to wear my orthotics to keep the pressure from the ball of the foot and subsequent pain. I have tried so many different orthotics with various degrees of success and have just discovered these. Wow - the best 'off the shelf' orthotics so far. They are a hard material but flex slightly so are not totally rigid. A bit like a hard silicone - if you dig your fingernail into them, you can just about make an impression so they're not a hard, slippery plastic.But they're way harder than a gel insole. If you got them wet, it wouldn't matter (not like foam insoles with a fabric covering). And I love the interchangeable inserts. I am using them with the low insert in my Crocs and they feel great. I know I will be able to splash about in the sea in my Crocs with my dogs and the orthotics will still look as good as new. Am about to order another pair!

Saw these on TV but ordered from Amazon because I wasn’t sure I’d get on with them, they looked firmer than what I’m used too. I already have footwear that has built-in orthotic insoles (Vionic & Birkenstocks) & I’ve never really had an issue. The branded shoes I have, aren’t really ‘work shoe’ appropriate (wrong coloured soles for a start!!), more leisure wear, so when I saw these, I purchased them to try in my ‘work’ shoes, which although they’re Skechers, with squishy insoles, they don’t really give me the total support my feet require since I’ve now bedded them in, or stop the foot ache from a foot operation I’ve had, & the slightly fallen arch I’ve got as a resultant of the op!So, I tried these first with all 3 inserts - obviously one at a time- to see which was most comfortable but have chosen to go with the ‘low’ pads & work from there should if feel I need to lift it, & all seems good, so far.I didn’t wear them for an hour for a few days first, to get used to them, as the leaflet suggests I just put them in & went off to work - as I said, I have footwear with arch supports, so I knew what to expect, but if you’re new to supports, follow the instructions until your used to them. - I did ‘feel’ them in my shoe for the first few hours, but then then just forgot they were there, since this review, I have purchase 2 more pairs so I don’t have to keep changing these from shoe to shoe, that don’t have in-built arch supportsWould I recommend these?Yes - but if you’re new to arch insoles, wear them in as suggested

I was dubious at first as I have suffered for 20 years with spurs and arch problems. I have started off with the low arch and it did hurt the first day but I have been wearing them ever since and at the moment find that my arch feels better. Time will tell and I will try the other sizes as time goes on. For the price, if you are suffering definitely give them a go. they are very soft under the heel where my spurs are and this is a nice relief to the usual arches I wear.

These insoles are great and, after a short breaking-in period, are very comfortable to wear. They come with an excellent instruction booklet which outlines everything you need to know in order to wear them correctly, such as removing any insole already within the shoe. My only problem was that, on removing said insoles from my favourite shoes, I found the shoe itself already had a built-in arch support so I was unable to use the new inserts. Several shoes later, I finally found a pair that were ideal, and they have now become my favourites! I am so glad I bought these, the pain relief I'm experiencing is profound...

After suffering for nearly 18 months, spent a small fortune on splints, socks etc and having to use crutches for past month I tried these insoles. Followed the guide on gradually using them and I’ve seen a huge improvement, not used crutches at all, barely limping with shoes on - still have some pain in my foot but it’s only one week in and compared to what it was I’m delighted.

Husband loves these orthotics. From the moment he placed them into his shoes he felt his feet were extremely well supported and his arch was cushioned. He says he can walk further without feeling discomfort and stand without constantly shifting his weight from foot to foot. He has worked his way up to medium insert and has felt a great improvement in his calf and knees. He is a total convert to Walkfit

This was recommended by a friend podiatrist for Plantar Fasciitis. It is the best thing I have found on the market so far while waiting for a medical appointment. It has greatly reduced pain and I can actually walk again. I started with the medium which had no effect on me but the high is a godsend. I can't emphasise enough how painful walking was without them and other insoles I have tried did little or no good. My shoe/boot sizes can vary so I bought the size of my foot rather than the shoe size which has worked well. Prior to receiving these I was virtually housebound it was that bad. Totally, totally recommend these.
