Same as my podiatrist sells, for nearly half the price!
I wanted a set of Powerstep Pro Techs for a new pair of shoes and before I went back to the podiatrist to buy them, I checked here on amazon. Well! Same item, almost half the price.<br /><br />I have gone through more custom-made orthotics than I want to admit to, but none of them were as good as these right out of the box. I have plantar fasciitis and the heel cradle definitely hits my foot in the right place to help with the heel pain. The instep height seems perfect. And the inserts do not pick up foot or shoe smells so I've never been tempted to toss a pair for that reason. (They can be spot cleaned but are not recommended to be immersed in water.)<br /><br />Best part, to me, you can slip them right into your shoes and start walking. There's not a horrendously long break-in time. Just a few hours a day for the first few days, and then full-time. As far as I was concerned, I forgot I even had them in the shoes after the second day. Although if you're not used to having orthotics at all, I suppose it might take longer.<br /><br />Bonus points: Got great service from the seller, too!
