FootActive COMFORT Insoles - XS (UK 3-4½), Blue, UK 3 - 4.5 x-small

I was recently diagnosed as having Plantar Fasciitis. The doctor advised anti inflammatory gel, massage and insoles or good supportive shoes. I purchased a pair of 3/4 insoles from the limited selection in a local chemist store. They did give relief, but I found that they moved inside my shoe. Although not entirely successful they did prove that insoles could quickly relieve the pain - I just needed to find better quality, full insoles. It was while I was searching for a foot massager on Amazon that I came across the FootActive brand. I ordered these and also another cheaper brand. The FootActive ones were the first ones to arrive. I'm on my feet all the time I'm at work in a warehouse, so I put them in my work safety shoes. The relief was instant and I felt an improvement in my general posture too! When the cheaper insoles arrived I noticed that the main difference was that the arch support was not quite as high or firm as the FootActive ones, but they were perfectly OK for my general shoes. The FootActive ones will stay in my work shoes, where my feet need the most help. The instructions do suggest that initially, wear them for a couple of hours at a time, to get used to them. I did not find this necessary. At first the arch support does feel high, but after a few minutes, once my shoes and feet have warmed, they feel very comfortable.

My ankles roll in which has resulted in a muscle injury which required a lot of physio. I was advised by my physiotherapist that I will need to wear insoles in all my shoes to prevent any further injuries as I am a very active person. Bought these after using Langer ones in my running trainers. Langer are the recommended make of private physiotherapists (I think NHS too) but they are very expensive so I wanted a different type for my casual trainers. After reading a lot of reviews I settled for these ones. Really pleased to say that they do hold my ankles up straight and take the strain off. I didn't need to wear them in either as they were really comfortable straight away. I wear them in wide fitting converse style trainers (rocket dog make) and they only needed trimming slightly. Planning on buying more for other trainers and the 3/4 version for smart flats.

As others have mentioned, I did have to trim it. It is made for a wider shoe than my boots I was trying to fit them into. Although I have very high (natural) arches and I appreciate the arch in the insole, it is hard. I went out and bought others (half the price) that I liked more. It is a good product, just not fit for me.

Great fit, soo comfy and reasonably priced

As a size 4 I did not have to trim insoles as they are a perfect fit which was really good. As I have only just started using them it is a bit early to tell if they really work, which is why they have been given a 4 star not 5. They are certainly very comfortable and I think over time they will really help my foot pain.

I am a size 4 and ordered the 3-4.5 size. This size fitted perfectly into my size 4 walking shoes. I did not need to cut to size - they were perfect. They are pricey, but comfortable and I wanted a decent insole to cope with all the walking I do. I would buy again if I needed to (but hopefully my Golden Retriever friend won't steal these insoles like the original ones or maybe I won't leave my shoes around for him to be tempted!!).

I bought these as I've had Plantar Fasciitis for the past 3 months, after stepping on an uneven pavement. These are great. They are size specific, xs which is size 3 to 4.5. That means the heel / instep distance is about right for my foot. The package also comes with suggested exercises and details of the other models they have available for other foot conditions. I've bought a selection of insoles recently from various manufacturers, all of which have helped. I've decided having insoles in every pair of shoes / slippers is better than searching for the perfect insole. That said, these really suited my foot.

Disappointed. The shape is great but there is no cushioning on front of the foot, they become very hard after few uses. Perhaps if you can put over existing insole, but for me the heal would be too high. Why didn’t they put the soft bit at the front too?? It really would be good insole!

Tout d'abord un grand merci à tous celles et ceux qui ont pris un peu de leur temps pour laisser une évaluation sur ces semelles et qui m'ont incitée à les essayer. Je les porte à présent depuis quinze jours et je n'ai plus de douleurs sous la voûte plantaire. Ainsi je sors d'une galère qui dure depuis 6 mois. A la différence des semelles prescrites par le podologue que je ne suis pas arrivée à adapter et qui engendrait des douleurs persistantes, ces semelles conviennent parfaitement à ma problématique, à savoir des pieds creux ainsi qu'un pied allant vers l'intérieur et l'autre allant vers l'extérieur. Je chausse un 38 et j'ai pris la plus petite taille sans avoir besoin de découper. Compte tenu de l'épaisseur de la semelle, prévoir au moins une demi-pointure de plus pour les chaussures.

J'ai pris ma taille et au début c'était bien mais maintenant quand je les mets, ça me sert les pieds !? donc je mets moins souvent ! Sinon, la matière est bien et confortable

Acheter sans trop d'illusions , je suis tres agréablement surprise part leurs confort et la bonne position que prennent mes pieds pendant la marche , surtout l'un des deux qui partait de plus en plus vers l'intérieur !! Faire des prothèses etait hors de nos moyens alors j'ai tenter ces semelles , deux differentes pour deux paires de chaussures différentes, au debut c'est deroutant pour la voute plantaire mais ont si fait vraiment tres vite , je vous les conseille vivement

Ho scelto questo prodotto perché già conoscevo la ditta, avendone già provato un altro tipo ed essendomi trovata molto bene in precedenza. Rispetto al modello precedente, la soletta presenta un cuscinetto in gel di silicone per evitare l'appoggio a chi soffre di spina calcaneare. Sono fatte bene e rispettano quello che promettono nella descrizione. C'è da dare che veramente riducono i dolori di talloni, ginocchia e schiena per il riallineamento della postura come indicato nella descrizione. Consiglio questo prodotto a chi, come me, fa un lavoro che per la maggior parte della giornata svolge in piedi e che presenta anche disturbi articolari delle estremità.

J'avais dans un temps déconseillé ce produit car celui-ci ne me convenait pas du tout... Suite au commentaire d'une utilisatrice qui semble satisfaite de ce modèle, je précise donc que mon commentaire n'est que mon ressenti personnel et que chaque personne réagit différemment, de façon positive ou négative à tel ou tel produit. J'avais mis 1 etoile car c'est vrai que, personnellemen, j'ai détesté immédiatement ces semelles, car elles m'ont fait atrocement mal, mais je mets 3 étoiles, de sorte que mon commentaire devienne neutre et que tout futur client prenne ses responsabilités à commander ou non cet article ! Puisque je suis là de nouveau je précise que, pour toute personne soufrant soit de fasciite plantaire soit d'épine calcanéenne, il existe quantité de semelles et il est difficile de TROUVER CELLE QUI CONVIENDRA au premier achat, de même que des petits talons. Pas même mon podologue n'est arrivé à me faire une paire de semelles, et pourtant c'est son métier, mais il est bien possible qu'il soit un mauvais podologue !! Pour les personnes souffrant d'épine, je conseille Arnica Montana, medicament homéopathique Et une excellente paire de chaussure trouvée sur Amazon, de facon à pouvoir marcher dès le saut du lit sans douleur. Pour toute réponse demandez-moi par commentaire direct sur cette page même. Et maintenant je vous laisse lire mon premier commentaire. ------------ Je déconseille fortement ces semelles qui ne peuvent en aucun cas convenir pour une fasciite plantaire car rien ne justifie un soutien plantaire aussi dur et aussi proéminent car la douleur, loin d'être soulagée, est accentuée du fait de ces deux défauts. Au niveau du talon rien de miraculeux non plus et l'on se demande une fois de plus pourquoi ce fournisseur propose un produit aussi peu performant. Même en ayant un pied très cambré comme c'est mon cas, cette voûte plantaire est franchement trop accentuée. Produit à éviter pour les personnes qui ont des problèmes de pieds sans doute insolubles, car il va falloir se résoudre à l'évidence : aucune solution pour les épines calcanéennes ni pour les fasciites plantaires, hélas. Aussi bien chez les podologues que chez les marchands de tout acabit...
