Carbon Fiber Insoles, Carbon Fiber Foot Plate 1 Pair Rigid Shoe Insert Support Turf Toe, Foot Fractures, Morton Extension, Hallux Rigidus and Limitus - Alternative to Post Op Shoe

I injured my foot, and my doctor recommended these carbon fiber insoles for my recovery, especially for walking long distances. They really helped fix my issue, and I even realized I had other foot alignment problems while using them! They are very comfortable for support, but I strongly recommend against working out or doing anything that requires bending your feet in these. Because the insoles are rigid and do not bend, you could hurt yourself if you try to flex your foot. Great for support, but stay on flat ground!

I suffer from Big Toe Joint pain in both feet, but especially in my right foot. This is a result of the connective tissue being worn away between the toe joints, leading to bone on bone friction. At the suggestion of my orthopedist last year, I bought one carbon fiber insert (another seller through Amazon with a product called Onujo fiber insole) to put into my right shoe, so that my right foot toes don't bend when walking. It did the trick. The insert took the pressure off my right toe, because it stayed stable, so almost no pain. I did need a soft insert (e.g., like a Dr. Scholl's gel insert) over the carbon fiber insert because I needed some padding to protect my heel and sole from the carbon fiber's hard surface. I felt sometimes on my right foot that I was walking like Frankenstein, just plopping my foot down, because the foot didn't bend when it hit the ground. Unfortunately, the pain got so bad this year that I had surgery to fuse my Big Toe. Now it really doesn't bend at all, so no friction and no pain, and the carbon fiber insert keeps my right foot flat. Since my left Big Toe pain is now getting worse, I decided to get another carbon fiber insert to see if that would help me postpone surgery for that foot. I went with this vendor because I got two inserts compared to the price of the one I bought last year. So far, so good. These inserts appear to be identical in every way except for the price, and hopefully they keep me walking and pain-free for a good, long time.

My ortho doctor recommended these. I’ve developed arthritis & beginning of bone spurs in the bones on the top of my foot. These are a firm, rigid PLATE that keep your shoe from bending at the toe & ball of foot thus relieving pressure farther up the foot. They are NOT a soft, comfy, arch support. That is not their purpose. They help prevent flexing of the toes/ball of foot & in doing so yes, your heel rises out of your shoe a little. Takes some gtg used to cuz it makes your shoe rigid & they prevent you from pushing off from the toe area as you walk. I ordered my shoe size & they fit perfectly. You rip out your shoes insole. Put in the carbon plate & cover with the insole that comes with the plate. After a couple days I am 90% pain free. Highly recommend.

The very best! Immediately felt good… no breaking in required. Make sure you get correct size for shoe!

These thin metal inserts fit easily into my slip on shoes, adding very little bulk. They work better in sneakers I can tighten- adding the firm surface my podiatrist prescribed for my bone spur prone feet. The slip ons are convenient, my heel slips out a bit but the ball of the foot is still protected. Note that these are a bargain So don’t expect the same performance as a $55 brand name one piece curved to fit your arch. I have those for my long distance walking and standing, this is just what I needed for gardening and casual shoes, relieving the pain I was getting when I walked too much in the cheap shoes.

Greatly expedited healing of three broken toes Totally eliminates foot flexing. In your shoes. A little difficult to Insert in shoes.But it must be for their performance
