I have worn custom orthotics for over 30 years and have a high arch. Recently developed a serious great toe ulcer, looking for a solution to hold by arches in their natural curve. Two attempts at custom foot othotic labs FAILED. So my foot doctor said "make them yourself"!! I found this product on Amazon and contacted the manufacturer for more information on the internal construction. When I received the insoles, the curves matched the shape of my foot perfectly. Unfortunately, there is no support directly under the arch, so my foot pronates, and just rolls over.
Advantages: Size correct, and curve fits the curve of my high arch. Fits with enough vertical space using an "extra height" shoe.
Disadvantages: Useless as an arch support unless you remove any inside shoe liner, and "fill-in" the huge open space under the arch down to the inside (top) of the sole. I clamped the orthotic to a flat metal plate, clamped vertically, and filled the opening with a liquid plastic compound. Not one but 2 doc's inspected, and said "this does it".
This Arch should come as a "kit" with a set filler pieces so you can pick the one(s) you need.

I have suffered heel pain off and on since I was ~33 years old. I have out walked a couple of different pre$cription $$ orthotics. I tried this insole for Keen hiking boots about 2003? and they gave good arch support, protection and padding then. Fast forward 15 years, and I was back to a Doc for cortisone shots, and a OTC footbed sold by podiatrist. I wanted something for some sandals to wear on the beach and the 'footsteps' was a 3/4 length, so I dug out my old SOLE's and they fit my Bite [hard sole/water grip]sandals. Padding was shot after all the years, but I could tell the arch support was still good as what the doc had sold me. Finally found these non corked SOLE and they worked fine for my final trip to Hawaii. I give a generous four star rating, because I ended up cutting the heels out a Spenco closed cell cushion insole and hot-glued them to add to the 'softec' heels. 60+ years of being overweight has beat the fat out of my heels, and heel bone now crushes into plantar fascia and the ensuing inflammation is hard to deal with. These have helped as much as 'What the Doctor ordered". seemed to deal with water, as well.
Advantages: I have walked of the lavabed beach of Salt Pond, Kauai without any rebound pain. Just finished a dog walk on the concrete path, and it cushion the entire sole well.
Disadvantages: Sole, you need to up the heel padding another couple of mm. nobody wants to tackle Diabetic foot pain, Neuropathy, etc, but we baby boomers will spend a lot of money for pain relief that doesn't lead to addiction like the opiates.

These have very nice arches, but they seem to be designed for a man's foot - they are very wide at the toe. I am going to try to cut them to fit in my sneakers.
Advantages: Nice arch
Disadvantages: too wide at the toe for a woman's foot.

It took me about a week to break them in. They seemed a little shallow in the back at first, but now I really like them. I wear them everyday and I put about 7 miles plus a day on them.
Advantages: Good arch support, and I have high arches.
Disadvantages: They were a little narrow at first, and they tend to run about half a size big so next time I would get them a little smaller
