I started training for my 3rd marathon in Aug 2017. I was in the best shape of my life: strong with only 18% body fat and was running faster than ever! I was determined to break 4 hours in this marathon. Then during a training run in early September, I hurt my foot somehow...

I had my doubts but they really work and work well. I had ball of foot pain on one foot after wearing worn out running shoes. I first tried new running shoes with better cushioning and got some improvement but not much.

35 years of motocross, rodeo, being an Ironworker, and coaching baseball has left me a little banged up... Last year in August I could barely walk... my knees hurt from the abuse and after 6 knee surgeries, I started compensating for the stiffness and that caused more back problems...

I'm happy to report that I'm walking and hiking pain-free after about 2 months of wearing my insoles. I felt relief after a few days but the underlying discomfort was still there until a few days ago.

What I just noticed recently is that the pain in the morning is completely gone... I went from not being able to put full weight on my right foot for a few minutes in the morning to getting up and not noticing it at all. So, be patient with yourself, wear the insoles consistently and you will feel better. Buy a pair and see - or feel - for yourself!
