I have been fighting pain on the ball of my foot for a year.
I tried physical therapy several different insoles including Dr soles high dollar inserts at walmart from there machine. Chiropractor and he sold me inserts also A cortizone shot. Didn't work. Now the podiatrist want's to sell me a 400.00 $ pair of custom insoles. Anybody here had results from custom insoles? |

Anybody here had results from custom insoles? Absolutely. I have a pair of hard plastic insole inserts that were made for me by a guy I went to high school with. They are worth every penny X 100. My guy had me lay on a table and then he pressed blocks of styrofoam similar to the stuff florists use and then used that as the pattern. The minute I stepped into them my feet felt better and now 10 years or so later I still use them every day and have zero pain. My problem was planters faceitis and I am cured. These things are indestructible and I expect will last a lifetime. My guy worked at Hanger Orthotics which I think is a national chain. Do it! |

I use the Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx insoles. I'm on my feet all day on a concrete floor. These are the best insoles I've ever used, no foot problems since I got them. https://www.powersteps.com/product-pages/pinnacle-maxx |

I just collapsed my arch and have plantar fasciitis this week, all while at the beach.
I was unable to walk, literally had to jump around. I got a walking boot from the doc, and now most of the pain is gone, I bought done arch supports. I'm ok now 4 days later. The doc said he has his own fiberglass custom ones from 1998 still and they are great. |

They might be covered by insurance if you have a medical diagnosis.
Worth every penny; custom orthotics work great for me. No more foot pain, ankle strain, or knee pain. **True custom orthotics, made by a professional from a mold of your feet; not the foam inserts you buy off the shelf. |

I went this route http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Made-Molded-Orthotics-Full-Length-Semi-Rigid-Red-White-Blue-Spirit-EVA-/200960701673?hash=item2eca30f4e9 BEST $100 I ever spent. The one sports medicine Dr I saw wanted $600 for custom orthotics TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING same mold boxes and everything. I can walk, run ,stand all day in absolutely no foot pain at all. They keep a computer model of your mold and make more pairs at way less if you need them in the future. ETA: The first pair I got from this guy is 5-6 yrs old now and still kicking right along. |

They have held up better than the original Red Wings at half the cost. |

Paid $350 (well my parents did anyway) for orthotics when I was 17 and got a stress fracture just above my ankle from running cross country.
Healed up, ran the rest of the season, ran the next year, ran some in college, ran a bunch in the Army ... They worked great for the better part of two decades, until I accidentally threw them away. 
Need to get a new pair. |
