Dr. Scholls Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts

This is my second pair (the first was bought at the Wal-Mart where they had the machine). What a great product, especially since you don't have to pay a doctor to get them if you can find one of the machines that tells you which one to use. Pricey inserts make me nervous and I resisted considering them for a long time. Then my friend told me she knew people who swore by these, and I risked the $50. For me, they turned out to be well worth the expense. Some of the nerve-related issues I was experiencing went away as soon as I started using them. Other issues (I've got a lot of feet issues right now) improved noticeably. I think I've got plantar fasciitis, and the inserts make it easier to deal with. They don't last forever, though, and I started noticing issues recently about six months after the original purchase, which is why I bought this pair. Wore them today for the first time, and it was like walking on clouds again. I threw the old pair in the washer with the rest of my laundry (no special treatment) and air-dried them, and stuck them in my house-slippers. Seems like a good way to get a little more life out of them! They washed well and now I have a bit more support when I'm wandering around the house. I recommend budgeting to replace them about every six months or so. I haven't tried other inserts but I probably won't since these work for me.
