Carbon Fiber Insole for Men and Women - Rigid Shoe Insert Foot Plate for Hallux Rigidus Limitus, Turf Toe, Morton's Toe (10.05" / 255mm - Men's 8 / Women's Size 9)

OVERALL: *Work as intended *Each insert is reversible, fits in either left or right *Comes with decent quality cushioned insoles for each foot *Worn 1x week and already getting relief from turf-tow while still staying active (weightlifting, etc) MORE DETAILS: Son has been dealing with turf-toe for months. Ortho recommended these and was honest enough to direct us to Amazon vs. buying them from the ortho office (~$98 for 1 insert-not per pair!). Ortho recommended only wearing 1 insert on the foot with turf-toe. Took a chance that the pair was not cut specifically for left & right foot in this "Pair-Package", so I ordered this product. Also purchased a single unit for the specific foot from a different company, just in case. Both inserts in this product package were cut identically and reversible, so I used 1 for each of my son's athletic shoes. Length was perfect for both pairs of athletic shoes, and fit perfectly under the removable insoles for each pair of sneakers. Nice that they included a decent insole for each shoe if you're worried about messing up the original insole of your shoes. Realized we needed one for his football cleats also, which are the kind with the built-in socks and fit a little 'tighter' on his foot than the regular sneakers (Nike Vapor Pro 1). These did not fit: too long to get down into the socked-top of the cleats. The single unit I purchased (Cozlow ASIN #B0FF5C5V73), which was ~1/4" shorter than these, fit perfectly.

This was a lifesaver for my son when he broke his pinky. It was stable and a good price. This helped my son’s toe heel faster. Fits great in the shoes and didn’t bother him one bit.

I like these a lot and they work amazing with the shoes I use them in. The only issue i have is that they do fatigue my feet when walking. That said they're easy to slip off and I really only use them when mountain biking. For that purpose they're awesome. They give my shoes a nice stuff bottom that the shoes lack on their own. They also help make the not so grippy rubber of the shoe lay flatter on my bike pedals so I get max grip. For the reason I bought them they are awesome! For walking, these are a bit of a pain. 4 stars for me, but you might like or need the stiffer sole.

If you have hallux rigidus this does a great job of stabilizing.

I'm very pleased with these insoles since they come with the hard carbon ones for my Hallux Rigidus and a second softer set that are cushioned which makes wearing the one that keeps my toe immobile comfortable. When my foot orthopedist saw mine, he wanted to know the details so he can recommend them to his other patients!! It's great to find foot pain relief without having to pay $450 out of pocket for a custom orthotic. As long as I wear these, I can stay away from foot surgery which is what I want!!

I went with 3 stars because the product is fine, but they made my foot pain worse. I have metatarsalgia and the Dr. recommended new custom orthotics with metatarsal pads. I was still having pain in my right foot even with the new orthotic so my PT suggested I try the carbon liners under the orthotics so that my foot doesn't bend by the toes when I walk. Unfortunately, the carbon liners made my feet hurt worse (and in more places). And even though they are super thin, it must be just enough to make it difficult for me to get my feet in the sneakers. My PT said to take out the carbon liners and try again in a day or so. I'm not optimistic, but for anyone else needing a carbon liner, I would recommend trying these. They are a reasonable price and good quality.

This shoe insert was easy to slip into place, comes with a cushion to make it comfortable and prevents my foot from flexing as I walk so my break will heal more quickly. It arrived in 3 days and replaced the post op shoe, which was a waste of money, that I bought from a medical supply store.

Purchased these to help prevent my foot from bending at the toe joints. I have a Morton’s neuroma and use a metatarsal pad as well. The insert is quite stiff and seems to help.
