Dr Foot Sports Supination Insoles Medium (UK 8-9.5) – Podiatrist Designed Orthotic Inserts with 2° Wedge for Over Supination, Ankle Sprain, Sports Injury Prevention, Lateral Support

Over-supination is much less common than over-pronation, but it's clearly what I have. For as far back as I can remember the soles of my shoes have always worn on much more heavily on the outer edge, and over the last twenty or so years of training I've been prone to Achilles trouble, sore heels, sore knees and tight calves. For the last 18 months or so I've been taking my running more seriously, but despite always wearing appropriate shoes and taking great care over stretching, strengthening, massaging and icing my injuries have just been steadily ramping up, and I've been forced to reduce my training volume and intensity. Recently I tried a pair of these supination insoles in my running shoes, and little by little my training is getting back on track, while at the same time I'm now winning out against my injuries. I've just ordered another pair for my walking boots, and may get yet another pair for my every day shoes. Some points to note about the insoles: 1) They are fairly thick, so they're best used with shoes with a good deep heel cup. They were a no-go in my Innov8 trail shoes for example, but work great in my Brooks Ghost 3s 2) Expect them to feel a little weird for the first few days, but in a week you'll hardly notice them. You may become acutely aware of the outer edge-bias when using any footwear without them. 3) The packaging is somewhat generic, so if you find yourself wondering if you really have the correct insoles, just look at the heel wedges. If they sit under the outside edges of your heels then you're good to go. 4) Cutting them to size - if necessary - should be easy as there are guide marks on the underside of each insole. 5) This is the 2mm version, there's also a 4mm version for severe over-supinators. No doubt the best approach would have been for me to visit a podiatrist and get specific inserts made up, but at £25 a pop these were cheaper, faster and they're working well enough for me.

Historically I have had to replace work shoes primarily every 6 months or so after the lateral spect of the heels and lateral edges of my shoes wear down quite rapidly. I have never given it much thought until i started going to the gym alot more, at which point i began getting intense shin splints, foot, and calf pain. the pain at times was incredible and took a good 5 minutes to settle down before i could recommence my excercise. I have suffered from right hip leg and back pain for about 2 years, and in retrospect i can see why i was getting the pain. A sport scientist friend of mine queried how i walked, so i investigated on google, and all evidence pointed towards supination of my feet...(i.e there is a slight roll outwards when i take a step) the opposite of this is over- Pronation, where the foot rolls inwards. So ... i came onto amazon, seen these...supination corrector insoles and ordered them. I have been breaking them in for the past week or so and immediately could tell how it was influencing my gait ...specifically my right foot (which has worse supination to the left), i feel it is being forced to walk 'properly'. I am only wearing these insoles for work at the moment. yes it is slightly uncomfortable by the end of the day but i can imagine this getting better with time. When i get to the gym on a night time, i dont wear the insoles but i can feel the difference in my feet and legs, i am walking a bit better on the treadmil and the pain is non existent currently. Whether this is co-incidence im not sure but again...time will tell. I believe these things work, and i am confident that they will help with my problem.

In my mid 30's and have been playing rugby of late and noticed a lot of knee pain. Did a bit of research and was introduced to the issue of under-pronation or supination as it's called. One of the most telling signs is a heavy wearing down of the outside heel on your shoes, as well as your foot hanging over the side of the shoe. I had a look on line for potential orthontic solutions to go alongside stretching and careful footware selection. I came accross these insoles that include a 2 degree wedge in the heel. I purchased and followed the instructions for a gradual introduction over a week. I've now been wearing them for a month or two and the difference they have made is clear from my perspective. Just looking at my shoes shows that my weight is now where it needs to be, and my knee pain has been reduced by at least 80%. I've since bought 3 pairs of these insoles. I'm not saying they will work for everyone, but worth a try. Quality seems good, I'm 17 stone and they are standing up to the wear and tear of rugby and an active lifestyle very well.

Very hard around the edges making them uncomfortable and ended up taking them out. I’m not using them..

The problem I've encountered is the standard insoles for over supination did not appear to be available but as I wear trainers these seemed the next best thing. They're quite hard to cut to size unless you create, say. a cardboard template from the sole of your shoe or existing insole if removable. The other issue I encountered was the fact that the packaging didn't really stress these were for over supination so initially it didn't look as if they were. The giveaway is the small additional raiser feature . I'd love the option to buy orthotics individually - so I could get an over supination insole for my foot broken in August and absolutely rubbish now and an over pronating left foot , legacy of a hang gliding crash years ago. Instead I've bought the much cheaper gel insoles from another company - because I can afford two pairs of those in order to wear the appropriate orthotic for each foot. I removed the additional raiser from the left sole so I could use it on the over pronating foot but as both have led to pain in both feet I'm not a fan of these insoles. They felt fine for about an hour and then started to really hurt. I stuck with them thinking no gain without pain but the bruising told its own story later.

Il supporto posteriore sulla suola da e sn si è scollato subito ! Richiederò rimborso anche perché non costano poco!

Cheap…

Las he probado y noto la pisada mas correcta. (Lo malo que me mandaron unas tallas inferiores)

This is a neutral rating because these insoles need to be used to be evaluated and that hasn't happened yet. However, this was the one product I was able to find on the internet for supination problems. My adult daughter who is developmentally delayed has posture problems including supination. We got these in hopes of helping her stance and perhaps improving other aspects of her posture. Whether or not that will happen..., the jury is still out.

These insoles have been the most helpful to me as compared with all of the other insoles I have ordered/purchased. I feel so lucky that they are available. However, they are expensive, owing to the shipping from the UK. Doesn't anyone in the US make these insoles?
