PowerStep Bridge, Flexible Arch Insoles, Comfort Memory Foam Insert, Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief, Adaptable Arch Support, Neutral Arch, Shoe Inserts, Unisex (Men 8-9.5, Women 9-10.5)

Powersteps are the greatest foot protectors, and wonderful for walking in for me. They cushion my feet and keep them from the hard pavement of the track and the park. The help the pain in my feet and they are very comfortable. They fit perfectly into my sneakers, and I am well balance when I walk in them.

I’ve been running for about 40 years, including a few sub-3:00 marathons. In that time, I’ve tried just about every insole/insert or “orthotic-style” option out there—Sorbothane, Superfeet, Spenco, and others. These PowerStep Bridge insoles are the best I’ve ever worn, bar none. What makes them different is that they combine the best traits of the popular brands, while fixing the stuff that usually drives me crazy. You get real structure and alignment from the supportive frame and heel cup—but unlike the rigid, plank-like inserts (that can feel like you’re standing on a hard card), theseflex naturally with your foot. That matters, because overly stiff inserts can change your gait in a bad way and leave the lower knee/leg paying the price. With these, the support is there, but the ride feels smoother and more forgiving. The foam setup is also excellent: a responsive “energize” layer for impact and rebound, plus a softer memory-foam layer for comfort. On top of that, the cover is moisture-wicking, so they feel less swampy on longer runs or warmer days. The “adaptable shape” claim actually feels real in use—the arch support doesn’t just prop you up; it feels like it guides your foot into a better position without forcing it. Add the stabilizing heel cup and the whole system changes the dynamics of impact and stability in a very noticeable way. For me, these have been a genuine upgrade and could easily be life-changing if you’ve struggled to find the balance between support and comfort—especially if rigid inserts have aggravated your knees or made your stride feel unnatural.

I'm in my 70's and have high arches. No matter what style of shoe I buy none of them are comfortable for to long if I don't have some extra support in them. I have been using Copper Fit inserts for years and although they provide support they are hard, don't flex at all, and all that comfortable. I saw the ad for these PowerStep Bridges Arch Supports and odered a pair. What made me purchase these over all the others that were listed on Amazon was the price and how they described. Just got them this afternoon and glad I did. I tried them in two sets of Crogs and two set of dress shoes I have, and walked in and around the house to test them. They felt great in all my footwear. I felt like they made me walk more upright. As I walked in them, I fely less hunched over and was able to walk with my shoulders back, like I once did.. These PowerStep Bridge supports fit and felt so good I just ordered me three more pair. My old CopperFit supports are going in thr trash now that I have arch supports that provide more comfort and more pain relief. I'm 100 % satisfied and you will be to. The price is great also.

They are perfect for me, as I have a high arch and recently had some tendonitis issues. My tendonitis issues were gone almost instantly after the first few days of use. I wear a size 8.5 sneaker/size 8 work boot and the Men's 8-9.5 fit into my shoes and boots perfectly without having to cut any material off. The one downside of these insoles is that the cloth liner on top of the insert has began to peel off slightly on my right heel. This is through the wear of a 170lb man taking 20-30k steps daily, 5 days a week, over the past month or so. I may look into other more sturdy options for a work boot, but one month of daily use and the sole is still comfortable and fully intact. That's the one single thing preventing me from giving this product a perfect 5 star rating, is the durability concerns for heavy daily use at work. These are so good that if they last me 3 months of the year, I'd gladly just buy 3 pairs for the year and call it a day. That's just how comfy these are, although I'll still see what other options PowerStep has. If I put these in my (non-work shoes) like in sneakers or dress shoes, I'm sure I'd get more mileage out of these durability wise. That being said, I think it's worth the investment to buy like 3 of these at a time and put them in your rotation of shoes/boots. That's the high comfort level they provide.

I was very skeptical about these insoles, as I have tried many different types of insoles. These insoles were recommended by an online influencer. If an insole works, I don't mind paying $40-$50 or more, but these cost $23 approx. I needed a replacement insole for some basketball shoes (ANTA KT10), as my legs started hurting after a couple of basketball games in these basketball shoes. The Anta KT10 are great shoes, except the impact protection and arch support are significantly lacking. Then came these insoles that saved the day. When replacing insoles, particularly in basketball shoes, you need cushion but the insoles have to be low profile, thus, this is the challenge. These insoles totally fit the bill. The different types of cushion used in this insole (read the description on the package, very helpful) and the arch support are what makes this insole so effective, while still being low profile. Like a mattress, these insoles provide firm impact protection, support, without being too firm or too plush (they are more on the firm side), with slight bounce, energy return. I thought an insole had to have lots of bounce to be effective, but I was wrong (compare to the awesome, very bouncy, very thick manufacturer drop-in insoles in the Way of Wade 808 5 Ultra basketball shoes-- love these shoes). For some reason the same online influencer said the ANTA KT10 basketball shoes were bouncy and springy and that is not true at all. Many basketball shoes do not need a replacement insole, but some do for some people. But, the challenge is getting an insole that is effective with cushion and impact protection that is also low profile, otherwise the insole and your feet will not fit into the shoe comfortably, it will simply be too tight. Note, you can size up (half to full size up) on the shoe/basketball shoe to help the insole fit a little bit better in many cases. I went up a 1/2 size on these particular basketball shoes before getting the insole, and that helped give some wiggle room, before getting the insole, as I have slightly wide feet. The Anta KT10 does fit true to size, but was just a little too snug for my personal taste. I am an outside shooter, shooting guard who plays competitive pick-up basketball regularly, mostly with college students and I am O.G. . After putting these insoles in the ANTA KT10 basketball shoes, my shooting percentage has been consistently better, at least 50% better, over the last 5 times I have played basketball. And, with these insoles I can play longer without pain to my legs or O.G. knees. Amazing. A commentor online, saw my comment under a YT video where an influencer reviews the ANTA KT10 shoe. The commentor told me he saw my comment and tried what I did with this insole and the ANTA KT10 shoe and totally agreed with me and thanked me for my help. It was great to receive this additional affirmation, validation and knowing that I helped someone. Thus, this is why I will be doing video reviews online very soon, on products and services. This insole provides much needed impact protection and arch support in a low profile. Thus, bringing meaning to the old addage "It's gotta be the shoes!", that was in that old Nike Basketball Shoe TV commercial with Michael Jordan and Spike Lee in 1991. But, in this case "It's gotta be the shoes AND the insoles!". This product is "PracticalPerry" approved.

UPDATE: I swapped the Bridge orthotic into a different pair of running shoes (Brooks Adrenaline 22) that I wear when I’m outside in the yard hitting golf balls. No squeaking is heard when walking in the older pair of shoes. It must have just been the interaction of the Bridge orthotics and the newer shoes (Brooks Adrenaline 24) that I experienced the squeaking sound with every step. I only wear the older shoes 2-3 hours at a time 3-4 days a week, so it may takes some time before the longevity of the Bridge orthotics are really tested. The orthotics are comfortable; I can’t even tell that they are in place in the shoes. I've used PowerStep orthotics for over 20 years after having a heel bone reconstruction. I've always found them comfortable and supportive. I saw a video review of these new bridge orthotics and thought that I'd give them a try. While they are comfortable they are just too darn noisy to wear. They have a small rigid plastic support at the heel that fits onto molded channels in the styrofoam base that does not seem like they would last very long (at least not the lifetime of a shoe). The squishy/squeaky sound that emanates from them with every step is just too noisy to tolerate.

Put these in as a replacement for those that came with my walking athletic shoe because I have flat feet. Recommended to me by my Podiatrist who swears by them and recommended them to all her patients. I took out the inserts that came with my shoe and replaced them with these. The comfort and fit was night and day over the one that came with my shoe and solved the pain in my flat feet. Will be replacing all the inserts that came in my gym shoes with these insoles as soon as I can.

very comfortable. good support without being so think that they interfere with shoe fit
