Game changer for my child’s foot pain
"I wish we knew about these sooner. My daughter over pronates, is a runner and growing so we needed help and these insoles did the trick! It took a good week for her to get used to them but then no pain while running!"
Nice!!!
"These are comfortable insoles. I have bad knees, and they definitely relieve the pain and the swelling. I’ve been wearing them for over a year… brought from local retail stores. Found The website I will continue to buy from them."
Doctor recommended
"Since my orthopedic doctor recommended them , Ive worm power step for 10 months now . I had chronic plantar fasciitis w bone marrow edema. Was in a boot for 6 weeks Havent had problems since"
Love these Power Step inserts
"Love these Power Step inserts for all my shoes."
I’m happy
"The first time I wore my power step support was when I forgot my golf shoes. Luckily I was wearing my new insoles inside of my tennis shoes. I’m happy to report that my feet didn’t hurt after the round! Very nice!"
Finding these orthodontics have been
"Finding these orthodontics have been a game changer to my feet. I recommend them to my family and friends the quality is superb and you guys always have my size. I don’t know what I would do without my Powersteps!"
Empowers me to be active
"I've worn Powersteps for 20 years and they were a game changer. Hip pain would hold me back from longer walks and hikes, but these orange insoles have more impact absorption which increases my endurance. I strive to hike/walk 100 miles per month on the trails. Powerstep makes that possible."
Since i started using it
"Since i started using it my feet don't hurt every time i walk alot."
Power Step Plus insoles
"My orthodontist recommended these insoles for arthritis in my foot and plantar fasciitis. These insoles have brought great relief to these twin problems."
Q&A
- What is the weight rating for the insoles?
- We don’t have a specific weight rating or limit on our orthotics, however each of our Pinnacle and PULSE series uses a firm-but-flexible arch support shell designed to hold up under a wide range of body weights and activity levels. Foot Doc Zach actually put it to the test in a video showing how well a PowerStep orthotic holds up - even after being run over by a car. You can check it out here: https://youtube.com/shorts/V6WhFy1riXo?si=tyDirBIb9N4Gvp2q
- Would you recommend these pulse for jogging, workout out and maybe playing basketball? But I also have pretty flat feet, plantar fasciitis and just now got bone spurs in my heel
- Hi Adon! We’d recommend checking out our bridge insole. It features an adaptable arch support system designed to work with all arch heights, along with energizing memory foam that provides up to 55% energy return to help keep your steps feeling more responsive.
- What's the heel drop on these, and does it varies from different models?
- Hi Edison, the heel drop on our PULSE Performance is .156". It does vary slightly from model to model. You can find the heel drop in the specs image on each product page.
- Can these be moved to my boots in the winter? Or are they only suited for athletic shoes? Second unrelated question - are these ok to try for flat arches? Or would the Maxx definitely be better there?
- Hi Sunny! As long as your boots and shoes are the same size, there should be no issue moving them from one pair to the other. As far as arches, both our Pinnacle Maxx and PULSE Performance are designed with a neutral arch support shell. If you want a low arch specific option then we'd recommend our Pinnacle Low.
- Do these inserts work for someone with arthritis in both knees & walks a lot
- Hi Jane! The right arch support can improve alignment and help redistribute pressure, which may reduce stress on the knee in cases of arthritis. We encourage you to use our Insole Finder to help find the right arch support and PowerStep orthotic for your specific needs.
