The WalkHero Plantar Fasciitis Feet Insoles ($10 to $20 per pair) is Amazon's Choice when it comes to insoles, and the top-rated product has over 2,000 perfect five-star reviews that praise the foot pain reliever.
WalkHero's insoles are designed to correct pronation (flat feet), but fans swear by them to put an end to all kinds of pain, once and for all. From flat feet and bunions to arthritis, Achilles tendonitis and diabetes, loyalists say these insoles help relieve pain associated with a slew of conditions.
"I currently suffer from a combination of Plantar Fasciitis and Arthritis, and I work in a warehouse where I'm on my feet for 8-10 hours per day. These are the only insoles that have reduced the pain enough for me to get through the day," explained one five-star reviewer. "These have truly been a life-saver for me, and they are dirt cheap compared to some of the other insoles I have tried. If I could give this product greater than five stars I would. These are a must-buy."
The inserts provide firm arch support that's more comfortable than traditional foam without compromising mobility. Each insole is made with a high-density, medical-grade foot support and an EVA material base, which helps with shock absorption. Design-wise, each one has a deep heel cup to distribute weight evenly, and an antimicrobial covering that kills bacteria and prevents odor and blisters.
"I am diabetic and also suffer from plantar fasciitis. I work outdoors and am on my feet all day," added another happy customer. "I put these in my work shoes and from day one got immediate positive results — now I have them in all of my shoes and also my slippers."
One buyer says the WalkHero insoles changed their life when they could not afford $400 custom ones. "These inserts not only helped the problem but they completely fixed all the pain in my knees, ankles, and lower back," wrote the customer. "I felt like crying the first few days wearing these, a problem that's been bothering me for 27 years was fixed with a 15 dollar purchase. These have completely changed my life, and these will be a new standard for any shoe I buy in the future. If I could give more stars I would!"
