WalkFit Platinum Foot Orthotics Plantar Fasciitis Arch Support Insoles Relieve Foot Back Hip Leg and Knee Pain Improve Balance Alignment (Men 6-6.5 / Women 7-7.5)

invest in these before all others. over the last several years I've tried multiple pairs of orthotics and by far these are the best investment to date. not only do they have the flexibility of adjusting the Arch pitch but they're extremely durable. they have minimal flex even now approaching a year's consistent use where others have fallen by the wayside. I just wish there was a better way to have them maintain position within the shoe. no amount of double-sided tape will keep them in position and it is absolutely necessary that you use a cheap set of single layer flat dr.sholl $1.98 liners in your shoe when you use these. for the record I bought literally eight different competitive full and soul models that touted at being the best solution. these have not only outlasted the others but provide the best support and the better bang for the buck.

UPDATE: My Platinum versions have arrived and I have been wearing them for the last week. As I expected, they are every bit as good as the Phase4s. In fact, better. I like the little bit of rubberized shock absorption they have added (I wasn't sure at first) and the ability to tailor them for height. As I described below, these orthotics have really helped my knee, hip, and back pain. To be clear, my "Platinum" Walkfits have not arrived yet. I have two pairs on order. I am basing this review on my experience with the Walkfit's predecessors, Phase4 orthotics. I expect that the Platinums will be every bit as good. I have been wearing another popular "over the counter" orthotic for some time. The one's I'm wearing, you stand on a machine and it gives you a recommendation for the orthotic to buy. The machine said that I have a normal foot, which surprises me because I have been to two foot doctors who have told me I have a really high arch. Nonetheless, the orthotics I purchased were immediately very comfortable, and I own three pairs. The problem is that I have been having lower back and hip problems for the past couple of years, and in the past 6 months or so, my knees have been getting progressively sore. After just a short walk, flexing my leg by lifting my foot towards my buttocks was VERY painful, and crouching and then getting back up was difficult. I found the Phase4 othotics in my mom and dad's garage and thought I would give them a try. My dad had worn them for one day and gave up on them. HERE IS WHERE THE WARNING COMES!!! Take very seriously the directions of the Phase4 (Walkfits) to wear the othotics for only an hour or so each day until you get used to them. My dad gave up on them because they were so painful to wear, but he wore them to play golf in on the very first day! DON'T DO THAT! I made a similar mistake, wearing them slippers around the house for about 3 hours the first couple of days. Like my dad, I was in big time pain! But rather than giving up on them, I slowly broke them in. I have been wearing mine for about 5 weeks now, both in my slippers and increasingly in my walking shoes. As of this week, I walked the golf course successfully, even though my feet were getting a bit sore by the 16th hole. I had to take a break from the orthotics for the evening and a bit of the next day. But the sensation is getting better all the time. They're actually beginning to feel quite comfortable. I hiked for 2 hours today with NO discomfort in my feet. Here's the big thing -- the pain in my knees and hips is gone. Completely. After my golf game and after my hike today, I could flex my leg with no sense of discomfort. Even the tightness in my lower back has been reduced significantly. As I was telling my wife today,when I put my fore fingers on my hips as I walk, the hips move solidly with no lateral movement. When I did this before wearing the Phase4s, there was a feeling of lateral movement in the hip almost as if the hip was "popping in and out" alignment. Another thing that surprises me is that even when I'm not wearing the orthotic and I'm in my socks, I seem to walk differently now -- more on the outside of my feet rather than collapsing inward (pronating), which is my general tendency. As I say, I have two pairs of Walkfit Platinums on the way because they are going in all my shoes so I don't have to keep switching these in and out. But I say it again, break them in slowly or you're in for some pain.

I have wide fore foot and narrow heal, considering that it fits well. I'm a small built guy sprinter by nature. While in the army we had to go long distances and strain our feet whilst carrying heavy packs(80-140lbs depending). Caused my arches to become flat since my feet had no strength to maintain arch after the first 15-20 miles(every other day), they just give out and you duck walk to the finish, bad for your feet. I like them in my boots the most, however they do feel good when i go for a run. I work out with them so that i develop muscles to support my corrected arch, not develop them while in a dysfunctional state. Seems to be working as expected. I use highest arch setting, I notice after a work out with them and then an additional 6 -8 hours on my feet i feel soreness. It's to be expected i suppose as it is pressing the tendons into a corrected position. I do wonder if it is causing them to stretch however, To counter the "idea" that may be the case, when bare foot or sandals i consciously pay attention to my posture, slight bend to knees usually forces my knees into alignment with hips(removing the natural lean a person has) and also the ankles and in turn feet. I do notice in long mirror the symmetry that is coming back. Of course newly used muscles are not tired, they just give out since they have not been trained. I find myself when losing endurance on my feet naturally standing with locked knees and then my feet in turn begin to roll inward towards arch with my weight, then my feet shimmy outwards to rest the weight on the arch of foot and not balls of my foot. Point being these inserts work well as a guide. It presses up against your tendons to form arch and naturally your body adapts by tightening area and "flexing" the arch to help strengthen it. Does take time. Again you will "feel" it out. You will notice from soreness if you wear them to long off the bat. I wore 14 hours first day and hurt pretty bad. but objectively i noticed it was causing me to improve posture even when not wearing them. So play around with it a bit, the different sizes, maybe a few hours at a time, then off and wait to see if there is soreness to access your tolerance. There are three elevation pads with this purchase. They work great. I enjoy them. @@on a side note i noticed i now seem to want to stand on the side of my feet when in bare foot. looking in full length mirror i realized if i just force myself from that position to press the pad of my big toe down, that is where my feet used to be and what my arch used to look like. Plus everything is aligned perfectly, so i guess these are reminding my body how it should stand and where it appears im on the sides of my feet, that is really just how many degrees of twist and deformation to my forefoot that has occurred since i started becoming flatfooted. Good to know that it causing my body to realign itself even when not using them. Just a conscious effort to retrain muscles and tendons that have grown and stretched wrong for years. Just something i noticed. Maybe it helps someone. These insoles are a Great buy for the price, good quality, and are helping me correct issues for sure!@@

I was looking on Amazon to replace my original pairs of Walkfit orthotics, because I was using the "low" inserts and felt like I need more support...and this was after trying multiple types of OTC orthotics **and** a pair of custom made ones, none of which consistently worked to relieve foot pain for me. I saw this newer model version and of course gave them a shot. Let me add the usual reviewer background and caveats: I have funny shaped feet (even the podiatrist admitted so); they're neither flat nor high arched, they LOOK normal but the bone that presses down on the ball of your foot is a little sharper and a little more extend-y than normal, which equates to pain when doing anything upright for any length of time, and has led to a tendency to walk on the outsides of my feet. The pain and funny walking have weakened my ankles over time, and with yo-yo-ing weight and age I'm also fighting back and hip pain. I've recently recovered from months of inactivity due to ankle injuries, and my feet are longing for kindness. I've tried everything over the years, most recently a $300 pair of custom orthotics which were a JOKE in terms of relief & support. Even the ones recommended by the shoe fit reps at those specialty stores didn't work like I'd hoped (although they were certainly better than the stupid custom ones). Back to the actual review...Here's the main reason I love these WF orthotics: last year (when I was young and weighed less!) I was doing hard core workouts (aerobics, kick boxing, interval training) in my basement and could get away with the using the $25-50 OTC orthotics in my running shoes, although when it came to step classes and cardio machines, I had to use my cross-trainers and the Walkfit inserts. I'm now back to working out every day now (walking, elliptical, stair master only) and have found that while some shoes work better for some activities, either way I need my Walkfit orthotics. I need the Medium inserts for things like the elliptical and archer, but the High size is great for walking. It's been 2 weeks now, and between these inserts and a lengthy post-workout stretch session, I have MUCH LESS back and hip pain. VERY NICE! Now, I am still geting ball of foot pain, but these inserts aren't going to prevent bone spur pain, so I created my own type of custom orthotics which have helped some: I bought a pair of cheap cushion inserts and a pair of gel ball of foot pads and some duct tape...cut the inserts in half and taped the top parts to my WF inserts, then glued the gel pads on top of that...wrapped everything up with a little more duct tape, and voila - CUSTOM ORTHOTICS that are CHEAP, functional and WORK! Thanks to these WF inserts!! Seriously, you'd never think that a hard piece of plastic 2/3 the size of your foot would bring such comfort...but I love them. NOTE: I usually only wear these in my work out shoes for 1-2 hours a day, but once "broken in" I will wear them in hiking boots or whatever shoes I'll be wearing if I'm on my feet for extended periods of time (>8 hours). Going from a few hours to all day has never been a problem.

These came highly recommended, and seemed like they are very well made. The issue we had is that we followed the instructions and sizing recommendations for our daughter, but they were much too narrow for her. By narrow, I mean they were 1/4 to 1/2 inch too narrow on both sides of her feet. I've been double checking, and I can't find any information on the inserts width.

Ok so I have been using these for months now and they work. I have plantar fasciitis and like I could make it thru a day even taking breaks taking my shoes and or boots off and resting my feet I mean I tried different boots different insoles and yeah I can't afford that good feet store $300-500 pair of custom fit insoles so the Riverside foot doctor recommended I try these out. And they work feet much better off I can make it thru the day and not set in my car in my drive way with tears in my eyes over the pain in my feet and the thought of having to walk on them to go in my house. like truly my feet are so much better. I mean they still hurt after being up on them but it isn't unbearable anymore and it isn't all that bad most days. Now that I have conveyed to you how good they work let's talk about what sucks about them. One you can not use them with anything else in the show or boot what so ever, you have to take everything out and put these in and use them like that or they kill your feet. and this leaves no padding for the rest of you foot and the balls of your feet and your toes have to just be left to deal with that rough scratchy bottom of your shoe or boot with nothing but the sock on your. Idk why the hell these people didn't make this product so it fits the entire shoe or boot or have it so it can go on top or under the factory insoles, maybe could be paired with a thin gel or air cushion but yeah no I tried all that and yeah these things have to be the only thing in your shoe for them to work right. The little round Velcro things that come with them to keep them in place in your shoe, yeah they suck and don't work. They give you low medium and high arch options and have one installed in the insert all ready. These things wear out and you will have to replace them idk if you can get just the parts that snaps in and out or have to get new supports and everything. Which the part that snaps in that wears out the snapping design itself fails and the things just fall out all the time so yeah I am going to just order a new set. Even though there are three ngs about them I just absolutely hate I will be buying them again and again I don't care how many times I have to buy them I am going to buy them and look for a way to have the ball of my feet and toes some cushioning because these things are what has saved my feet because I was seriously contemplating just blowing my feet off at the ankle with my shotgun of cutting them off with a chainsaw.... Yeah I was at the end of the rope with these dang feet of mine and things were about to get crazy because nothing as hurt me like my feet were hurting my in all of my 43 years on this earth.

Best purchase I have ever made. Seriously. Ok so I waited a month to write this review. So some percpective: I have extremely flat feet, like as flat as they come. I am 182lbs, 6’0” and like 10% body fat. I work an office job where I mostly sit 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. I go to the gym daily. I go on hiking trips monthly where I typically hike about 10 -15 miles a day for 3-5 days in a row. I run sometimes and do various other amateur athletic things. So, I have always had foot pain, knee pain, and hip pain. Just kinda have always felt with it. I have tried chiropractic inserts, several of the garbage products that dr scholls sells (please do not buy their trash, they are marketing geniuses, their product is trash). So my hiking trip 2 months ago left me with a black and blue big toe and index toe or whatever it’s called, this was due to flat feet and pounding down on those two toes descending mountains. Sooo I go and buy these things, skeptacle of the reviews and as seen on tv marketing strategy. They are amazing! As soon as I put them in the pain in the big toe was completely gone. My ankles are more structured rather than limped inward. Heel pain (planter fisheitus, no I am not looking up how to spell that) is severely decreased. Walking is walking, running, hiking is MUCH more enjoyable now, my lifting form is much better and I can feel the correct muscles being more concentrated now, which is a perk I certainly did not expect. I told my chiropractor about these and showed them to him after I bought them, He is a super cool dude and has helped me immensely, he was shocked and very impressed and the quality and design of these insoles (he wanted to charge me $300 for his custom insoles). So, bottom line, if you have foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back pain, BUY THESE! You will not regret it. I have worn them for a month in all of my shoes: running, lifting, hiking, dress, boots, skating, and they work supurbly in all of them. I went straight to the high inserts. If they went to crap tomorrow it would be well worth $20 a month, they do not show any sign of doin so tho. Sorry for the long review, but it’s not often I buy a product that increases my daily quality of life....again. Buy these and change your life, seriously just do it. If this company was publicly traded I would move all of my stocks over. Hope this review motivates you to buy this product and increase your quality of life! PS: all of my family is getting these for Christmas.

A couple months back I took a factory job where I am on my feet walking the whole shift - most of the time at a fast pace - shuffling parts where they need to go. Recently I started having right knee pain and left hip pain. Swelling and stiffness that only got worse pretty quickly over a few days. I could tell that I was going to walk myself into some serious knee damage. I couldn't help but slow down and start limping a bit. I even missed some days in a row because as I told the boss "I've got to get off this knee". That's when I got serious about addressing the problem. First I tried a quality knee brace - that helped a bit but the underlying strain on whatever ligament was still there and doing damage. Then I added some national brand gel shoe inserts from that Wally land. Oh my feet were feeling real good with those inserts but that strain on my knee ligament was still there and doing damage. I'd say almost all adults have had a medical problem that gets bad enough that THEY WILL TRY ANYTHING! That was me and that's when I saw the infomerical for Walkfit Platinum Orthotics. I never, ever buy "As Seen On TV" stuff but they had me - I was willing to try anything. I didn't call the infomercial 800 number, I went straight to Amazon, found the Walkfit orthotics here and took a chance. Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse my all caps but - I'M A BELIEVER! THESE THINGS WORK! I've only wore them a few days at work but the knee and hip difference is profound. Swelling - gone! Pain - gone! Stiffness - gone! My knee can bend and flex, my hip wasn't my major problem but it works like a hip now, it doesn't hurt. I'm now shoving parts and keeping up with the youngsters at work (I'm 54) and work is FUN again! I should add that I do still wear my knee brace - Walkfit and the knee brace complement each other very nicely. Folks, I have no idea why a shoe orthotic could help a knee or hip. We'd have to ask the doctors. As a human being I can tell that it changes my walking gate, that the muscle and ligament alignment has changed up, the stress on the pain point has shifted away ever so slightly. I'm sorry to say that in my opinion these orthotics might not be a best match for all people. Do I think Walkfit orthotics are soothing to my feet? No. Absolutely not! I'd dare say they are uncomfortable, but not in a terrible way. I'd compare walking a shift on Walkfits to wearing no orthotics at all. Your feet are going to hurt either way. Young people, nurses, waitresses, factory workers, etc who are just looking for comfort for tired sore feet that walk on tile or concrete their whole work shift might be better served with a quality gel shoe insert. Walkfits are rigid foot arch supports with hardly any give - but that's the whole point of them. They adjust the way your feet step ever so slightly and what was hurting in your lower body gets some relief. As we all recall: the foot bone connects to the leg bone, the leg bone connects to the thigh bone, the thigh bone connects to the... Well, you all know the story. For you folks that are in a similar situation as I am - I say give them a try. I was not compensated for this review. Walkfit company doesn't know I exist. I didn't know they existed until a few days ago when I was flipping channels and chanced upon their early AM infomercial.

The product packaging was excellent.

As described fast delivery, product seems to be sound made well. Still trying them out

They take awhile to get use to but are definitely worth the investment

These orthotics fit in my running shoes really well and are extremely comfortable to wear. They are well made and supportive. The best thing are the inserts in the orthotics that you can change out for your own support and comfort.
