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 ordered this inserts as a last resort before accepting that my feet would just always hurt...I have heel pain and neuroma pain and arch pain. All temporary fixes. I'd seen doctors, had injections, MRI's more injections, PT, massage and so on. Every step I took hurt. Working out was impossible. Well, these inserts surprised me!! After struggling to get them into my boots and shoes, Andrew guided me and viola'! I have relief! I am so happy to have a way to get back to the activities I missed the most! Looking forward to hopefully a 3/4 sole insert to make it easier to get into women's shoes!
