My son had a case of “shin splints” a couple of years ago that benched him for a entire season. I took him to podiatrist and athletic trainer and was taught about his extremely high arch which is not good for a serious runner. I had a custom pair of orthotics made that worked wonders. He continued with no issues and wore the orthotics out due to the amount of miles ran in them. Had second pair made and they never were comfortable like the first ones. Had them adjusted over six times and finally gave up on them. He ran then for four more months on the old pair. A couple months some knee pain started and a little tendinitis. He just had too much impact without good orthotics. Called podiatrist and complained how I never got the second custom pair right after numerous adjustments and got a appointment to have them looked at again.
In the meantime he need something for NOW..so I found The Insole Store.com and this insole -the Superfeet Greens. They were shipped promptly. He wore them just a couple days before he felt ready to run in them. He loves them…no complaints. So far no pain. I took him to that podiatry appt and showed them to the doctor. He agreed they were sufficient and really the shape was darn close to the shape of his customs. More flexible for running also. Not to mention the difference in price!!! A+++++++++++++ We will be buying these for years to come!
