Rigid support for plantar fasciitis
The arch is higher and offers some metatarsal support. The feel is more firm than I've felt in prefer plantar fasciitis supports in the past. Maybe this is what you're looking for?<br /><br />The full bed support is just what I needed to keep my wide feet from feeling the outside of my shoe in a binding hindrance sort of way. Add the firmness of the toe area in this support and I've finally found an insert that helps my 2e width shoe that I had to stretch more with a shoe stretcher to just have a little more room from that toe guard. Or maybe the opportunity found me? Anyway, I'm happy to share my findings. With foot pain, I'm always looking for something better and these didn't disappoint.<br /><br />Though this is a Vine review, I purchased another pair of this insert for my use in another pair of shoes that I had stretched. The combination of firm support, full foot bed support and extra width in this support is just what I needed for these shoes I've found to be too narrow. They seem to make the stretched shoe a better fit than without these features. But here's another subjective finding with this support I've found: in my use, regular shoe strings tend to loosen and require lace tying again. I prefer elastic shoe strings with these supports. Just saying the shoe may be stretching more or my stride combined with the firmness of this support may be loosening my shoe strings when stepping off numerous steps at a time. So I use the elastic strings where the shoe uses eyelet type lacing. Otherwise, the shoes with loop guides just need retying often because elastic shoe strings tend to get tensioned in some places while loosening in other places where the uses the loop guides instead of eyelets.<br /><br />Subjectively sharing my experience with this model. This OUSECAN brand maker has other unique inserts that offer other benefits. This one is firm and offers a higher arch than the others. I prefer it for shoes that for tighter on width than the others. I'm currently reviewing two other models from OUSECAN that I also like; but so far, this is the only model that I've purchased another pair of. The other supports by OUSECAN were equally good as this pair reviewed. I was unable to review them and haven't found any OUSECAN brand supports or inserts on Amazon. I do hope to purchase replacements when mine are worn; hopefully that can happen by then.
