Product Information

Structural issues of the foot— Conditions such as flat feet and high arches can affect how body weight is distributed across the feet, potentially leading to heel pain. Prescription medications– When over-the-counter NSAIDs aren’t effective, your doctor may prescribe stronger pain relievers or anti-inflammatory medications. Whether you have high or low arches, you'll love these customizable insoles that offer a plush layer between your foot and the hard surfaces you walk on. They are higher-priced than other options on our list, but an investment worth making if you have plantar fasciitis or other foot pain and discomfort. A good insole might take a while to break in, but ultimately it should feel very comfortable. Good cushioning will not only keep your foot comfortable, but it will also aid stability and alignment. Arch Support

When the plantar fasciaexperiences inflammation at the point of attachment, pain can occur. The pain from plantar fasciitis is usually concentrated in or around the heel. In fact, plantar fasciitis is one of the most common reasons for heel pain. Most often, the discomfort develops over time and increases in intensity little by little. However, the true sign of plantar fasciitis is a very acute pain in the heel upon rising from bed in the morning. The best insoles for plantar fasciitis wrap all the way around the heel and have some structure, preventing the heel from rolling in or out as you walk, says John Huenink, founder of insole company BioMoto. You should also pay attention to insole volume (high, medium, and low) as well as the materials the insole is made of, as these features determine feel and quality. Stretching exercises can help provide relief from plantar fasciitis pain. Some people find foot massage balls to be particularly helpful. Dr. Scholl’s ® Hot & Cold Foot Massage Ball features stimulating nubs that gently massage all areas of the foot, including the plantar fascia. The ball can be filled with hot or cold water for extra therapeutic benefits. See your doctor if you don’t get relief from plantar fasciitis pain after trying at-home remedies.

The Walk-Hero Comfort and Support are low-profile, rigid insoles that provide support for all arch types and are made to help alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Firm and pronounced arch support help provide stability to the plantar fascia, and a thin mid-layer of silicone gives a slight cushion to the entire insole. Their rigid support shell makes them easy to insert into any shoe, be it casual, athletic, or work footwear. Because of their ability to support all arch types and their ease of fitting into multiple different shoes, these insoles are an excellent choice for everyday use. William D.

Dr. Scholl’s ® Pain Relief Orthotics for Heel Pain provide relief for several different types of heel pain, including plantar fasciitis pain. For some people, pain relief may take time. The feet must adapt to the structural properties of the soles; an adjustment period may therefore be necessary. If needed, gradually use In-Balance® Plantar Fasciitis Orthotics Insoles each day and more and more frequently, until you can wear them all day. Replace the sole if it shows signs of wear or deterioration.Rest – Taking pressure off of the heel with rest is a classic way to get rid of heel pain. Although it’s difficult to stop heel pain completely, you can experience significant improvements by simply staying off of your feet as much as you can to give the pain time to resolve.

The insoles we tested had unique constructions that were specific to what they aimed to provide. Some had many features, with targeted areas of padding, the use of multiple different materials, and claims to cure all foot pain, while others were simpler in design and function. With so many options on the market, it can be difficult to narrow down which pair of insoles is best for your specific concerns and preferences. To help, we first consulted with three experts to learn more about plantar fasciitis and what makes a pair of insoles supportive for that specific concern. Those experts included: When choosing an insole for plantar fasciitis, volume is one of the most important characteristics to note. There are high-, medium-, and low-volume insoles, and each option is designed for a specific arch level and activity.
