Can I trim my insoles?
Because most of our styles are sized by full shoe sizes, our insoles offer a true-to-size fit without any trimming. However, should trimming be required, our products can be trimmed to fit as necessary.
When should I replace my insoles?
We recommend replacing your insoles about every 3-6 months depending on use.
Can PowerStep insoles be transferred from shoe to shoe?
Yes, the insoles can be easily removed and placed into a different pair of shoes. We recommend purchasing a pair of orthotics for each pair of shoes to help extend the product life.

Product Description
The PowerStep® Pinnacle full-length orthotic insoles with built-in arch support and two layers of plush cushioning are the perfect balance of comfort and support. The Pinnacle insoles feature the podiatrist-designed PowerStep arch that cradles the arch and heel, adding stability and motion control to limit excess stress on feet, ankles, joints, and tendons. Pinnacle is the ideal choice to relieve and prevent pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis and is the #1 podiatrist-recommended orthotic arch pain relief for men and women will love adding to their lives. Feet with neutral or standard arches naturally allow for pronation when walking. Pronation is defined by the ankles rolling slightly inward, placing pressure on the bigger toes and inside of the foot. Neutral arches need a stable, yet flexible orthotic arch for shock absorption and proper alignment. Pinnacle arch support insoles provide this support and are clinically proven to relieve and prevent pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles Tendonitis, and other common foot conditions. By combining premium cushioning and the clinically proven PowerStep arch shape in a semi-rigid neutral arch support shell to counter compressing arches, the PowerStep Pinnacle shoe insoles are a trusted solution to improve foot function, decrease arch pain, and help alleviate common foot conditions typically caused by mild to moderate pronation.
Mild to moderate pronation can cause: Plantar Fasciitis; Achilles Tendonitis; Arch & heel pain; Ankle, knee, hip & back pain; Shin splints; Bunions; Heel spurs; Hammer & claw toes; Calluses & corns.
Whether you are searching for work boot insoles for men and women or something for more activity on your feet like running shoe inserts for women and men, PowerStep offers a wide range of orthotics and arch support inserts that will get you back to living your best life, one painless step at a time.

These are great inserts that are comfortable and provide great arch support. Get them!
In Depth review:
I suffer from some foot problems. Suffer is a strong word but pretty accurate. Details are here, or just jump to the next paragraph because you probably don't actually care about my feet.
I have flat feet with barely any arch in them. I also have bunions which make my toes angle about 15 degrees inward (and judging by my father they will be at 45 degrees in the next 15 years). My flat feet creates adduction (rotating inward) in my step, worsening the bunion issue and increasing the tension in my feet. In any case, all these things make my feet hurt frequently. Not necessarily every day, and not necessarily "pain" where it is sharp an unbearable. Think what sore muscles feel like, as a deep inside dull pain - sometimes throbbing - and just constantly there. That is as close as I can describe it. So anyways - that is my situation.
I have always looked at arch supports and cushioning to attempt to help with my situation. I have never been happy with any of the products or results. So I basically stopped looking figuring nothing off the shelf would ever help.My mom went to a podiatrist for some of her issues and she got inserts that cost $400 and even then she wasn't happy with them. I pretty much just gave up and accepted my lot in life.
An extended family member mentioned she wore these and loved them, just in a passing comment, so I looked them up and decided to give them a try. Honestly, I bought a pair for my wife first since she works on her feet. When they arrived I looked at them and stood on them (without shoes) just to get an idea on what they are like. They seemed good, and my wife confirmed she liked them so I pulled the trigger and bought myself a pair.
I have worn these for about a week now and love them. Are they the best thing out there? Probably not. Are they the solution for everybody? Probably not. But I do think they are probably the best over the counter item that you can buy and will probably help 90% of the people out there. All for a reasonable price.
Support -
These supports add a good amount of support, and hold my feet in a position that doesn't allow them to move in a way that will hurt my feet or ankles. They are very comfortable, and my lower back pain is lessened from the improved step.
I would probably comment that I do feel them pressing on my arches, since I am flat footed. This can be uncomfortable after a while, but not worse than the typical foot pain I have without them, so the benefits far outweigh this issue. I would suspect if my arches were slightly higher (or the supports slightly lower) I wouldn't feel this at all.
Sizing -
I bought the Men's 10-10.5 sizing. I wear 10 or 10.5 depending on the cut of the shoe.
Ironically, I just bought a paid of 11s just because the cut tapered in at the tip (which isn't good for my bunions) but in the 11 it fit well around my toes and the extra space in front doesn't alter my standing or stepping.
The Pinnacles fit the size 11 shoes exactly.comparing the removed insoles to the Pinnacle they were a dead on match in size.
That surprised me since I wouldn't have imagined that much extra material would be used, but at the end of the day it is a good thing, because they are pretty much guaranteed to fit your shoes - but also very likely you will need to trim them to fit.
I will also comment that with the full length insert they recommend you remove the shoes existing insert first. This is a must as otherwise the shoe is too tight and cramped and just trades one problem for another. But actually replacing the insole is like converting your shoe into something new and better.
I don't switch between shoes very often, but I can definitely see me buying a couple pairs of these and cutting them to fit ever shoe I own.
It is well worth the investment.
I've tried every insole on the market over the years. I tried them when I was still able to be a CNC Machinist and Forewoman to try to save my Lower Back and ease my Plantar Fascilitis and now that I've had to quit my trade and go into Physical Therapy because of the aforementioned back getting much worse and going from "really painful at a high-intensity, heavy-lifting job pain" to "I can't even walk upright or do anything but gentle stretches type-pain".
I've begun Physical Therapy for my Lower Back & a Torn Rotater Ruff (yeah....terrible luck, I know) so I'm on my own for the PF because the Physical Therapist can only target so many areas at once. I've been trying inserts for at least 10 years and they all caused my nearly instant and HORRIBLE pain and usually made my PF much worse. Plus, they usually required cutting and trimming and didn't fit a variety of shoes to be truly versatile.
I bought these and kept all of the packaging because I fully expected to be sending them back. Well...I threw out that packaging after my 1st week using these in my Running/Gym shoes as well as my casual shoes and some Snow Boots. These have not just improved my Lower-Back Pain immensely....but my PF is 65% better (I'm also using PF Compression Socks, mind you and wearing those to bed to repair/heal).
What's amazing to me is that I'm also going to the Gym and doing 90-minute Cardio Sessions 6 days per week on top of the Physical Therapy to strengthen my whole body, lose the weight I've gained being unable to work/workout, and to build muscle near the areas that are injured. So I'm wearing these things in my Running Shoes and wearing them for 90 minutes per day on Standing Ellipticals, Seated Ellipticals, Treadmills, and Leg Press Machines. And there's NO PF pain throbbing afterward! These are ROCK HARD insoles. Please keep that in mind. I think most people *myself included* fall for the "gel insoles" and "memory foam comfort" stuff thinking that will be better for our feet and PF (or back issues) because it seems like a cushioned sole would be best. Now that I've tried these, I get why the others didn't work. We need HARD Support. If you can't tolerate hard insoles for some reason....these are not for you. If you have lower back pain or PF and other insoles have failed you....you NEED to try these.
I purchased the Women's Size 8 - 8.5 and these fit my Running/Athletic shoes PERFECTLY. Slipped them right in (after removing the original insoles, of course) and dared to go straight to the Gym and *hope* these would work out. Well...they did! Much better than my *expensive branded insole that came with said running shoe* and a notable difference in PF right away.
I didn't have to trim them at all and since they are so hard, you can easily slip them into and out of your shoes for a quick change. I put them into my furry Uggs the next day and they fit just as well and kept the PF and lower back pain at bay. I couldn't believe they were working. I am so used to them feeling "OK" at first and then after a day or two causing a "new" pain or worsening old pain and having to throw away expensive insoles. These are like a MIRACLE! I haven't had a burning/shooting heel since I put these into my running shoes and considering my 6 days per week Gym Schedule and Physical Therapy is new to my body as well as HARD on my body....this seems amazing to me.
Don't stress about the sizing. It's right on point. Get whatever closely matches your normal shoe size because these are right on point. They're also a bit wider (than I need because I have a very "normal" width foot) so if your foot is a little on the wider side, these have the extra space to fit them without making "normals" fit any lesser. The arch is very high and hard and really supports you where you need it. The contour and outside diameter is cut much more accurately than others and I think that's part of why no trimming is needed and if you buy your correct size....these should bit your current shoes like a glove. I originally felt really stupid for spending this kind of money on *yet another* pair of insoles that are supposed to be "so awesome" ....but never worked for ME. Now I can't wait to try some of their "slimmer" fits so that I can wear my evening shoes and other slimmer shoes without pain, as well.
The photos I'm posting show the running shoes I wear for Physical Therapy and the Gym with the original insole taken out in one shoe....and this insole placed inside of the other shoe. The insole itself is laid next to the shoe for size and width comparison. I also included a photo of the insole from the side-view to see the contour, and a photo of my bare foot (that's a compression sock) against just the insole to show how good the sizing is and how it fits a bare foot.
I highly recommend these - especially if you've tried every other brand and style and have decided *like me* that insoles just aren't "for your problem". Because these ARE. I really urge anyone with PF or Back Pain to give them a try! NO cons to this product. Will buy again and again.

I've begun Physical Therapy for my Lower Back & a Torn Rotater Ruff (yeah....terrible luck, I know) so I'm on my own for the PF because the Physical Therapist can only target so many areas at once. I've been trying inserts for at least 10 years and they all caused my nearly instant and HORRIBLE pain and usually made my PF much worse. Plus, they usually required cutting and trimming and didn't fit a variety of shoes to be truly versatile.
I bought these and kept all of the packaging because I fully expected to be sending them back. Well...I threw out that packaging after my 1st week using these in my Running/Gym shoes as well as my casual shoes and some Snow Boots. These have not just improved my Lower-Back Pain immensely....but my PF is 65% better (I'm also using PF Compression Socks, mind you and wearing those to bed to repair/heal).
What's amazing to me is that I'm also going to the Gym and doing 90-minute Cardio Sessions 6 days per week on top of the Physical Therapy to strengthen my whole body, lose the weight I've gained being unable to work/workout, and to build muscle near the areas that are injured. So I'm wearing these things in my Running Shoes and wearing them for 90 minutes per day on Standing Ellipticals, Seated Ellipticals, Treadmills, and Leg Press Machines. And there's NO PF pain throbbing afterward! These are ROCK HARD insoles. Please keep that in mind. I think most people *myself included* fall for the "gel insoles" and "memory foam comfort" stuff thinking that will be better for our feet and PF (or back issues) because it seems like a cushioned sole would be best. Now that I've tried these, I get why the others didn't work. We need HARD Support. If you can't tolerate hard insoles for some reason....these are not for you. If you have lower back pain or PF and other insoles have failed you....you NEED to try these.
I purchased the Women's Size 8 - 8.5 and these fit my Running/Athletic shoes PERFECTLY. Slipped them right in (after removing the original insoles, of course) and dared to go straight to the Gym and *hope* these would work out. Well...they did! Much better than my *expensive branded insole that came with said running shoe* and a notable difference in PF right away.
I didn't have to trim them at all and since they are so hard, you can easily slip them into and out of your shoes for a quick change. I put them into my furry Uggs the next day and they fit just as well and kept the PF and lower back pain at bay. I couldn't believe they were working. I am so used to them feeling "OK" at first and then after a day or two causing a "new" pain or worsening old pain and having to throw away expensive insoles. These are like a MIRACLE! I haven't had a burning/shooting heel since I put these into my running shoes and considering my 6 days per week Gym Schedule and Physical Therapy is new to my body as well as HARD on my body....this seems amazing to me.
Don't stress about the sizing. It's right on point. Get whatever closely matches your normal shoe size because these are right on point. They're also a bit wider (than I need because I have a very "normal" width foot) so if your foot is a little on the wider side, these have the extra space to fit them without making "normals" fit any lesser. The arch is very high and hard and really supports you where you need it. The contour and outside diameter is cut much more accurately than others and I think that's part of why no trimming is needed and if you buy your correct size....these should bit your current shoes like a glove. I originally felt really stupid for spending this kind of money on *yet another* pair of insoles that are supposed to be "so awesome" ....but never worked for ME. Now I can't wait to try some of their "slimmer" fits so that I can wear my evening shoes and other slimmer shoes without pain, as well.
The photos I'm posting show the running shoes I wear for Physical Therapy and the Gym with the original insole taken out in one shoe....and this insole placed inside of the other shoe. The insole itself is laid next to the shoe for size and width comparison. I also included a photo of the insole from the side-view to see the contour, and a photo of my bare foot (that's a compression sock) against just the insole to show how good the sizing is and how it fits a bare foot.
I highly recommend these - especially if you've tried every other brand and style and have decided *like me* that insoles just aren't "for your problem". Because these ARE. I really urge anyone with PF or Back Pain to give them a try! NO cons to this product. Will buy again and again.

I liked them enough that I bought three more pairs.
