Great Arch Supports without the Expensive, Custom-Made Pricing., March 4, 2010
"If you have to invest in something for your feet, you should invest in a good pair of comfortable shoes and a right set of arch supports if you have high-arch feet," said my podiatrist. Thus, I totally agreed with him! For a long time, I never understand why I always had bad back, foot, and heel pains... I always bought the good looking or bargain price shoes that didn't fit my feet, and they were hurting my whole body! I always thought that those things were common problems and that I should just "suck it up" and be a man about it. However, I was wrong and ignorant until I met a good person who happens to be an podiatrist.
He helps me choose a right set of shoes that were my right size - and I do have wide feet. Oh gosh, those new set of shoes were heaven sent. Nevertheless, he also recommends that I get the proper arch-support insoles! He tells me that he can charges rich or good insurance patients who want to do custom-made insoles, but always recommend Spenco to his friends and those who cannot afford the pricey package. At first I laughed at the idea, but after wearing the Spenco arch-support insoles, I can stand and walk around all day without feeling tired or aching on the ball / bottom of my feet.
I've tried Dr. Scholl's and other brands but they only give some basic relief. Spenco, on the other hand, give enough pressure relief with their tough design. Trust me, you don't have to buy expensive or good looking shoes and custom-made insoles to have healthy feet, just the proper support for your foot type - and mine is Spenco. I buy two sets for each of my daily-usage shoes, and I will not go anywhere without them. Forget Dr. Scholl's or anything else, Spenco supports the right spot(s) with the right pressure relief(s), thus making it worth your money in the long run (especially if you know how to shop around and get a good price on Amazon). Lastly, just remember that this model is for bigger, properly-sized, and/or comfortable shoes; if you have tighter or smaller pair of dress shoes, you might want to buy the thin insoles from them.

Great for my Flat Feet, February 19, 2010
I use both 3/4 and full length Spenco orthotics. The 3/4 length are put under the foot bed liner that comes in the shoes. This serves to hold them in place - rare that one shifts even a tiny bit. If putting the orthotic under the shoe liner does not work (too thick), then I remove the liner and use a full length orthotic. That way I have good support and a good shoe bed liner. I have flat feet and plantar fascitis. Since I started using the Spenco Orthotics some years back, the constant foot pain is gone, gone gone!!! It's like having new feet.

Comfortable arch support, January 9, 2009
Purchased for my husband who has falling arches. The full length Orthotic Arch Supports stay in place in the shoe which makes for a much more comfortable fit. Standing all day at work is now pain free.
