Does not really work for us, updating
UPDATE: After this review the company reached out to me to try and help “make things right” (my phrasing). I appreciate this kind of customer service, told them they did not have to, but if they wanted, the size was not working for me/us. They sent my a 2/3rd version - the kind I do use. It has arrived, looks very similar to the one in the pics for the 3/4 version, and I tried it in several shoes. I already had my regal shoes set, so tried my dress shoes and 2 pairs of casual. I did eventually find 2 pairs these work with - frustratingly, many of the shoes to not allow me to take out the inserts, so adding anything makes the too tight. But these did work in the two pairs and were fine. So, I appreciate the customer service and that these 2/3rds inserts do work for me. They are fairly “hard” in that you will feel the support. For my needs it’s fine - I have to have a good level. They fit and did not stretch the shoes like the longer ones did, that too is very helpful. Overall I think these are going to work better for me - I’ve not tried my wife’s shoes yet - so I’m glad they reached out. For their customer service and because I can use them and they give good support, I have increased the original 3 stars to 5. The original review is below.<br /><br />This Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief Orthotics - Arch Support 3/4 Insoles is not going to work out for us. I got them for myself, but when they did not work for me, my wife tried them, and they do not work for her either.<br /><br />I also realized: I have 3 sets of 2/3 inserts that I’ve come to really like. I messed up when getting these - I misread the 3/4 instead of 2/3. Therefore, these are longer. Figured I’d give them a try and it would be not much different. It is. The longer set up of the arch support does not work in our shoes.<br /><br />PROS:<br />I like the weight - it is lightweight and does not add to the weight of the shoe<br />I like the bottom - it is actually rather comfortable<br />I like the cushion feel<br />I like the support - overall it seemed like it would be a good level of support<br /><br />Having a need for arch support I find that what I need varies from shoe to shoe (pairs). I also use them in a range of shoe types: gym, dress, hiking, etc. So figuring out the type and style of insert isn’t always easy. I use an expensive full insert on my regular shoes - need the consist support. The other side is, I don’t want to pay that much for inserts for certain shoes I only wear from time to time. So, why not move a set of inserts from shoe to shoe? With 2/3 pairs is it possible and I’ve been successful.<br /><br />Now that I realize the 3/4 ARE different enough as to alter things - I will not get another pair of 3/4. They do not work for my shoes.<br /><br />If I could get these in a 2/3 length I would really like them - I’m pretty sure at least.<br /><br />CONS:<br />At this length they are too wide at the toe end - they actually push out on the sides of the shoes.<br />I do not like where they end under the foot - it feels annoying<br /><br />In the end I am not comfortable on and do not like this 3/4 size. It does not feel comfortable under the foot. And the size at the top end closest to the toes is far too wide. I think what’s weird - compared to other shoes and inserts I have - you can see these are wider. I have “normal” rather than “wide” feet. I tried them in both gym shoes - pushed out visibly on the sides of the material. And on dress shoes - which for men are often shaped into a point - and there too you could these push out. I yanked them out quickly so as not to stretch the leather. These just to not work for me. It’s sad - I did like the feel of my foot in them - under the arch with it’s support - but that was all.
