this is my second pair of inserts. I’m very happy with them. I have planters fasciitis and it helps very much. In fact it seems like after the last couple years it doesn’t bother me as much but I still have to wear them. Thank you.
I am very pleased to have these orthotics because of the metatarsal support, it is difficult to find this anywhere, this has made a big difference, instead of using hempvana nightly for my ankles it is down to once a week maybe.
I purchased the intermediate supports because in my Brook's Ghost shoes the strongest ones can be extremely noisy. These are working out great! They are slightly flexible and have a softer surface and no squeeking 😉
The intermediate did not have the polished surface of the originals making inserting the foot into shoe more difficult. The intermediate seemed to have the same height in the front as the original even with a lower arch making them seem like they were designed for a different purpose then the originals.
The intermediate may be fine for a person who needs less arch support but I recommend the original, which I give 5 stars.
I have have many originals and they are life changing!
They are no better than much less expensive orthotics
I compared these to another brand that I paid $39 for and they are essentially identical except for the color. The material and design are the same as is the give when pressure is applied. The feel is also identical.
These are extremely overpriced!
