"These are helpful but I have to wear shoes with a wide toe box. These are narrow and so my toes slip and slide all over from the insert to the bottom of the shoe where the gap is. I wish they’d make a wider toe box option. Most feet are not the shape of this insert!"
"Recommended by my sons physical therapist. They have helped alot in walking and building strength after two reconstructive knee surgeries. A great deal and was quick getting them to us."
"I did a lot of research before choosing these orthotics & I am very pleased with them. I've already purchased 2, bought a pair for my partner, sent info to a friend who purchased 2 & continue to refer others!"
"I am very happy with my PowerStep Pulse Performance insoles. I am a personal trainer and therefore spend many hours on my feet. I struggle with lower back pain after standing on my feet for about 2 hours. But since I began wearing the PowerStep Pulse insoles, my lower back pain is significantly reduced. My lower back still gets tight, but it’s after 4 or so hours rather than pan after 2 hours."
"I love these. I thought running was over, but I have been able to run with no pain"
"The best running insole i have ever used! It feels lighter yet is still supportive"
"This certainly takes some pressure off the hammer toe deformity but is not an all-day solution. Like all Power Step insoles, it is mostly comfortable."
"Delivery was so quick. And it seems to be really helping my feet so I will be ordering extra pairs."
"This helped me wear shoes all day that before would cause me pain in my feet. Good support."
"Great insoles for running and provide enough support."
