Product Reviews of Powerstep Pinnacle Orthotic Insert PN-H (M11-11.5/W13-13.5)
Product Review: Powerstep insoles
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a problem with Plantar faciatis, and my foot doc recommended an orthotic. I bought these both locally and online and I love them!! I pulled the stock insoles out of my Nikes and installed these, and everything feels great. I bought three pairs, one for my running shoes, one for work, and one for my yard work shoes and I'm very happy! My Plantar faciatis seems to be improving, too! But even if it subsides completely, I will stick with these because they feel so good!!Product Review: UPLIFTING
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased the Powerstep Pinnacle Orthotic for a variety of foot issues, including arch and heel pain. I had tried the $49.99 Dr Scholl's and found these to be superior. After wearing them for a month I ordered 3 more so that I could keep them in different shoes and sneakers. I think they're great.Product Review: Worth a try if you have Plantar Fasciitis
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been suffering from PF and a wicked heel spur for about 9 months now. I have tried all sorts of inserts, arch banadages, KURU shoes, night splints, the pro-stretch and various exercises. So far I have been able to keep the pain in check, but I am not at the point where I can run more than 20 yards without some serious discomfort. Most PF sufferers have flat feet and over pronate, I have high arches and supinate.
The Powerstep Pinnacle is a decent insert worth the money IMO. Its basically a 3/4 inch hard plastic orthotic glued inside a foam insole and I use it in a pair of Brooks running shoes with no fit issues. The foam part of the insole seems like an afterthought and quite a few companies do a better job of cushioning, but the combined effect with the orthotic makes up for any short comings. and The arch support feels a bit odd at first. In fact there was quite a bit of discomfort for me the first day in my injured foot and none in the healthy foot. The arch support feels ball like and centered in the middle of the foot. I am actually yearning for more support at the my arches highest point in the inside of the foot.
I am thinking this insole may be better for the folks with flat feet and over-pronantion. For folks like me its a decent solution, but not a magic cure. I can be on my feet most of the day without any pain although running is still a distant goal.
All in all its worth a try if you are suffering. If you are not suffering then I recommend that you use quality insoles to prevent injury.
Update 12/9/10 - I have dropped my rating from 4 stars to 3 due to lack of durability. I have had these less than two months and have used them for about a month in that timeframe. The fabric on the top of the insole is peeling away at the heel about an inch and a half. Because the fabric is pulling away the foam around the heel is beginning to crumble and break off. The right insole is worse than the left at the moment but the left is going down the same path of disintegration. The adhesive connecting the fabric is inadequate, ineffective or was improperly applied IMO. I do think this is a good product from a functional standpoint, but the durability is not impressive. It is possible that I have a defective pair, but I imagine they make right insoles and left insoles in different batches and I am experiencing the same issue with both. I would expect this product to be designed to last 6 month at a minimum, but I have a hard time imagining them lasting 3 months.
Product Review: finally a good supportive insert
Summary: 5 Stars
Vary supportive and all day comfort. I work 10hr on a hard concrete floor and my feet hurt bad enough I had trouble walking at the end of the day and the begging of the next day. I finally seen a foot Dr. that recommed these. The pain is now gone, this is all I will buy. Thay last a long time also.
