I have been battling turf toe on my right foot for about 2 months before buying these turf toe steel insoles. While it has only been a week, my big toe joint feels significantly better. At first I inserted these in my running shoes combined with my Dr. Scholls sports insoles but my shoe was just too tight. So I ripped the felt backing off the left foot insole and inserted just the steel portion of the insole (flipped over) combined with my Dr. Scholls insert and it has worked well. This allowed one pair of the insoles to be used in two pair of shoes since my problem is only with my right foot. The first few days my foot felt numb but I quickly got used to it.

NOTE from The Insole Store.com: The Turf Toe Steel Insoles are a flat steel insole to limit movement and work well with placement under existing shoe insoles, or over the counter cushion insoles, and/or orthotic arch supports.
