Samurai Insoles Ninjas Plantar Fasciitis Relief Arch Support Shoe Insoles - Podiatrist Designed, Orthotic Lab Made in The USA

I have a lot of pain in my heel in the left foot. I desperately bought seven different pairs of shoe inserts on Amazon in an attempt to help decrease pain and heal the problem. Some pairs were very intrusive making walking nearly impossible. Other pairs were better. I am listing them in order from most uncomfortable the most comfortable and supportive. PCSsole 3/4 Orthotics, 330+ lbs Plantar Fasciitis 3/4 Length Insoles, Plantar Fasciitis 3/4 Length Insoles High Arch Supports Orthotic Insoles, Plantar Fasciitis Orthotic Shoe Insoles, QBK High Arch, Dr. Foot 3/4 Orthotics Shoe Insoles and Dr. Potter 3/4 Orthotic Insoles.I bought the 3/4 length instead of full length so I would still have plenty of space in my shoe for my toes to move around. I liked the Dr. Foot and the Dr. Potter inserts the most even though it took time to get used too. What I had trouble with in all the inserts there is a tendency for the shoe to tip when making left or right turning movements. I like to run trail trails and that would increase my chances of rolling a foot laterally causing me to fall and/or sprain an ankle.So I went back to Amazon and research more orthodontics. I came across Samurai Insoles Ninjas Plantar Fasciitis Relief Arch Support Shoe Insoles. They were purple and looked funny in the picture. I did not purchase these before because they looked flimsy to me. I bought them out of desperation. They actually slide in under your removable shoe padding (unlike the others I bought that went on top of the padding). I slid my foot into the shoe thinking this is just going to be a stupid idea, but it was far more comfortable than any of the other inserts I tried. The insert going under the foot padding actually made my foot more stable than the other inserts did. That was a plus! Then I noticed my foot did not hurt as much when I put weight on my heel. That was also a plus, but then I became concerned that it only felt better because I was not changing the pressure on my foot in a way that was going to give me the "correct" support I needed and I would in the long term just run into more problems (pun not intended). I decided to give the inserts a test. I went for a short walk and my heel was l little tender, but still much better than having no insert at all. I decided to mow my lawn. A small lawn that only took about 20 minutes. My foot actually felt better after mowing the lawn than it did before I started. Go figure? With the other inserts I would have had to sit and rest with my foot up for about an hour. Anyway, I have worn the inserts for a few days. My foot is slowly getting less and less painful. This was a relief in itself as I have had this pain in my foot for over 7 months with no sign of getting better. Hopefully, my foot well get better and I will be able to running the trails again. Right now these inserts are my best option. For that I give them 5 stars!

I've seen reviews of complaints about these being a hard plastic and making their feet sweat.Have you been to the Good Feet Store and seen theirs? They're also made of a durable high-density plastic AND they're to be worn under the footbed of your shoe (just like the instructions say to do with these.)Working from home for the pass 20+ years, I spend more time barefoot than wearing shoes and it's starting to take its toll on my knees, so I needed to make a change. While Good Feet's are $1500-$3500, these were $32 so I thought I'd give it a try. I've slowly started breaking these in for the last 3 days and it seems to be relieving my knee pain.I have what is called a medium arch with my feet and while the arch support in these insoles appear to not be very tall, I can feel them when I wear them & they seem to be helping.I'll give them more time to see how they continue to work or not work and will update my review if needed.For $32 it's worth to give them a try as I'd rather not spend the $1500 if I don't have to :)

O...M....G!I was on the verge of quitting golf.My plantar was so painful, that walking that much, or even standing for extended periods was brutal on my feet.(My left foot especially).I bought these after seeing the videos online, and thought " why not? What's the worse that could happen?"WI added them to my favorite shoes. And wasn't noticing much difference. I would swap them between different shoes as the days and weeks went on.Now after a couple months I realized the other day that I hadn't felt pain a few weeks. Truly!It was like it was gone.My guess is that over the last few years some of the shoes I was wearing must have had poor support. I thought that getting older was just taking its toll on my feet. But no longer.These insoles are amazing.I've already ordered more so I don't need to swap them between shoes.Truly a lifesaver!!!

I recently tried the Samurai Orthotics insoles, and they’ve been a total game-changer for my feet. From the very first wear, I noticed superior arch support that kept my feet aligned and reduced the usual mid-afternoon ache. The contouring cradles my heel perfectly, while the shock-absorbing materials feel springy underfoot without being bulky.They slipped easily into my everyday sneakers and even fit nicely in my work shoes, making them versatile for all-day wear. After a week of constant use—walking, standing, and light workouts—my foot fatigue has dramatically decreased. The durable construction shows no signs of compression or wear, so I expect these to last a long time.If you’re dealing with plantar discomfort or just want a more supportive insole for daily life, I highly recommend Samurai Orthotics. They deliver professional-level support in a simple, easy-to-use package!

They feel good, really don't know they are in my shoes

They work ok. They need to be built with thicker plastic. I had a prescription pair that got wrecked that I would gladly have paid for again if I could find them again. They were$200
