This past week we were on vacation at Callaway Gardens. We did a ton of walking and our day started at 7:30am and didn’t end until after 10pm each night. Since having kids the extra weight I carry around puts a lot of stress and strain on my feet. After about 45 minutes of walking I can feel the tensing of muscles and the soreness (almost a bruising feeling) on my heels. Although I have been testing the Dr Scholl’s Custom Fit Orthopedic Inserts for a couple weeks prior to our trip I had not done any moderate of heavy walking with them up until now.
A few years back I was fitted for orthopedic insoles with a doctor in Atlanta, but the cost was over $400 and since my insurance deductible wasn’t met yet I passed. Apparently being overweight isn’t good for your feet and can lead to plantar fasciitis. So, instead of getting the insoles I just suffered with the pain…until now, of course.
The verdict? They were great for what I needed. I was able to do so much more than normal without feeling that bruised heel feeling. They didn’t slip and slide around in my sneaker at all, which was one of my main concerns. The only down side was that I wasn’t able to slip my foot into my sneaker without untying it anymore, but that’s probably better for my shoe anyway.
The process of being “fitted” was quick and easy. The kiosks are everywhere and are very easy to use. You stand on a platform marked for your exact placement of your feet and click a button. The machine walks you through the process and in less than 3 minutes you have your personalized footmap analysis. It really is that easy!

I suffer from back pain and have scoliosis. I also suffer from a “few” extra pounds from my pregnancy (baby boy is almost 1, I guess I can’t use my pregnancy as an excuse). Walking isn’t always comfortable…maybe orthotics would help? I’d love to try and find out.

I have never thought that being overweight after having babies could cause such serious deformities. I might try these…
I want to win these because my feet have been hurting a lot the last several years and hopefully these custom orthotics will help with that. altern147 [at] yahoo [dot] com

I want to win so I can walk in shoes without pain. I have patella tracking disorder in both knees and If I dont have shoes with just the right arch support I am in misery. The right supports will have me walking in comfort in any shoe instead of searching for the perfect shoe. I am a very picky shoe shopper.
i have a serious chronic back problem, im hoping this will help!

I would like to try them to see if they can help reduce my feet and back pain-thank you
I’d love getting these for my father actually. He was interested in them, but never wants to spend money on himself. He’s a maintenance worker for a big company, and is always on his feet, to the point which i’ve seen them crack open! He tries everything, and I hope these would help in some way make him feel better.
