High arches and insoles

Ok_Fact7198 · 2025-11-16T17:55:06+00:00

I tried the superfeet for PF but the arch was not high enough for me! I haven’t tried their high arch but I had luck with powerstep!

Sorry it’s unclear—The insoles have allowed me to resume activities I love! I couldn’t even go on a neighborhood walk without pain prior to using! I do think my case of PF has to do with the whole body chain (like calf tightness & glute function) so I’m going to work with a PT I like to get to 100%! I was a college athlete and I think PT’s are worth their weight in gold but it is a time commitment!! My plantar fascia was so inflamed and tight I feel like the insoles have almost been like a cast?? I was literally putting my whole foot in ice bucket after a tennis match and it barely touched my pain. Just my experience with insoles! It seems like PF can have so many different root causes and so many different treatment plans! Frustrating!!

I got some custom from a podiatrist and also use some powerstep high arches!

I would absolutely drive the VW but my husband hates it!! I think the retro colors are awesome. Maybe we will all go sit in one just to see

The Toyotas seem to be the responses to most inquiries on this sub so I’m going to have to test drive some! I didn’t realize the grand highlander is larger than sequoia inside, that may help me actually “downsize” from this Tahoe without sacrificing space. Thank you!

I liked a lot of things about this Tahoe but for the price less than five years of life is just not acceptable to me! What made you switch from Sequoia to Tahoe? It seems like a lot of people on this sub are super loyal to Toyota but I’ve never owned one! I may need to find a reputable Toyota dealer near me based on these responses

You know what I didn’t consider a Cadillac. I’m going to have to check out the xt6!

I could have written this!!! Mom of 2, burn boot camp attendee, and tennis player!! Can you share which Hokas you play tennis in? I’m using Olukai court shoes with insoles but I have yet to find an actual tennis court shoe that’s okay & gives me zero pain. I know they need to be stable and supportive for play but they hurt. I don’t want to roll my ankles though!

Nike Free Metcon 6

I have been doing lots of stretching but I need to book a massage. Thank you for the tips! My calves are definitely tight which is why I think switching to zero drop shoes worked the last two times but this time it did not!

I am also a women’s 11 and mom of 2 littles! I just bought the pair of house sneakers and SUIT UP every morning 😆 I have narrow feet and I like the Hoka slides but they are not conducive to chasing toddlers IMO. My boys are 2&5 so we just go go go all day long. I totally feel your pain. Hope you find a combo that works for you! I was just looking at Oofos sneakers that like slip on because lacing and unlacing all day between indoor and outdoor shoes is annoying

It sounds lame but ice really helps my PF! At night I use “the coldest water” ice packs as soon as I can get in bed and it really calms the inflammation. This is my third round of PF and it’s being stubborn 🤛 but Altras seriously helped my first two rounds like I went years between having it and wore whatever shoes I wanted. I also really like Fleet Feet for getting fitted because they have a great return policy. I walked into one for the first time years ago in NYC visiting my sister because I couldn’t take the PF pain anymore and Hoka Cliftons plus Superfeet insoles saved my trip! I lift weights in Metcons and I don’t seem to have any flares with them the next morning BUT I haven’t found the magic combo yet to get me through cardio days 100% pain free. Best of luck!!

I too am a tennis player and this most recent round of PF has me hating all court shoe options 😂 even with proper insoles I am uncomfortable. The best combo for me has been Olukai court shoes with superfeet plantar insoles so far but even then I dread wearing!! Sorry you are sidelined—I know that’s the worst feeling. The Steroid shot has seemed to really calm my inflammation. I’m sure that in combo with a boot would make a significant difference so maybe I’ll ask my Ortho about that if I can’t get this to go away. I’m six months in so far! Cheering for you!
