Pain relief

I have never been able to run more than 6 miles without experiencing a lot of knee pain.  I decided to give Footbalance a try.  I ran 6 miles today without any knee pain at all! For the first time, I look forward to longer runs on the weekends.

My husband is a very outdoorsy guy, so when I first met him, I told him that I was happy to do most things with him, but I really disliked hiking.  Over the years he's tried to share his love for the trails with me, but I dreaded and suffered through every hike he planned.  So, when we planned a mountain biking/hiking trip to Utah this fall I was desperate to find a way to endure the planned hikes.  He suggested that I get a pair of custom FootBalance insoles made, as he LOVED the ones he had made for his cycling shoes. 

As a runner I have run a number of marathons, until a stabbing pain in the sole of my right foot forced me to cease training. Eventually the pain became so problematic that I was forced to take a break completely and visit the doctor. I was given a referral for a physiotherapist who gave me some exercises to do and told me to have a month’s rest. However after a month I carefully tried to run again but the pain had not subsided, and after a few months of ‘try now to see if it’s better’ there was no change.



You compelled me to send you feedback on the fitting for me in Atlanta, Ga. at the Cobb Galleria recently. I will say I have worn them in several of my shoes, and I can tell a major difference already. As a matter of fact, we were performing a task that required us to actually be on our feet as much as 8 hours in a day, and after three days straight and wearing the inserts, I felt great. Now on the fourth day I had changed out boots that I happened to be wearing to another style and simply forgot to use the inserts.

I have used the insoles in Korea, India, during the qualifications (that went well!) and now in Morocco. What I have discovered is that I experience less fatigue in my feet now that I am using Footbalance insoles compared to before. Now I can play 18 holes several days in a row without experiencing pain in the balls of my feet or toes. I am very satisfied about that.

I tried out the insoles at Intersport on Saturday and got very good help from the head shoe salesperson. I've gone around a bit with the soles to get used to them, and have gone on two short jogs. I've always had problems with my calves and arches when I ran before, but now I feel much better!

Thank you very much for the insoles, they were just what my feet needed!

I have had back and leg pain for years while playing golf. I enjoy walking the course and had to stop walking. I purchased the Footbalance insoles in Naples and I feel better walking, playing and after the round. I recently went back for a second pair.

I tested for the Marathon Val de Reuil a revolutionary product for the feet - Footbalance insoles. The insoles are tailored and molded to measure in the shop, so they are customized and permit the correction of anyone's problems.

It feels amazing to have such good contact with the course, as if standing on a soft surface! My ankles feel more mobile than before, and I haven´t been suffering from the shin splints that have been troubling me since since I was a teenager.

I just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for making those insoles for me at OR. I can’t tell you how much of a difference they have made in my foot comfort. Today I woke up without any pain in my feet for the first time in months.

For me, the Footbalance insoles have proved really useful, in particular those blue insoles for training shoes have been really good. In the spring of 2007 a physiotherapist made orthotics for me, in order to ease a strain injury (a nerve compression) in the right ankle. However, those were not good for running.

This may sound like a commercial, but with the Footbalance insoles I was able to run better and
