Sara 5 This is exactly what I got from the doctor’s office for my arch. It is very durable not to mention affordable. It is a cheaper alternative to customised insoles or orthotics. It provides a similar relief to the arch by reducing the pressure. Be advised this is not a cure but rather a relief for those suffering from flat feet.Just make sure you are putting it on correctly if you are new to it. You can do this by standing on it a few times and adjusting the pad as needed. Your arch/foot should be at its normal angle (not raised) and you should not feel any bump or discomfort when you stand up. In short the pad should fit like a glove like it is part of your foot and not like a rock under your foot. This is very important because it can be uncomfortable and even exacerbate the pain if worn incorrectly. Hope this review is helpful to those who are considering buying this product.
