The Best Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis to Give Your Feet Relief

Dr. Scholl’s is one of the most widely known affordable shoe insert brands.

They offer cushioned gel support for men and women, in various shoe sizes. 

This particular insert has orthotic lines to help you cut the insole down to best fit your shoes. Each insole has a plush cushion to help absorb the shock of your steps as your heel touches the ground.

For something a little more premium, try Superfeet.

Their extra supportive insoles have a deep heel cup to provide exceptional support. These insoles aren’t made from gel, but closed-cell foam to give you extra cushioning. 

That means they might seem a little stiff out of the box, but the stability cap has great arch support and structure to provide your heels with more stability and comfort!

Place these in hiking shoes, running shoes or anywhere you’ll be forcing your feet to tackle long distances.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility and want a thinner insole to slip into flats or lower profile shoes, check out Powerstep.

Their ultra-thin insoles provide firm, but flexible arch support and they’re specially designed to fit into low profile shoes. 

These don’t require cutting down, so you can swap them from shoe to shoe – great for shoe lovers who like to constantly change up their footwear!

The responsive polypropylene support shell reduces fatigue on your heels and arches, and the polyester fabric is specially designed to combat foot odor.

Vionic is one of the few shoe brands that caters specifically to plantar fasciitis.

Their orthotics offer a pain-free solution for lower limb alignment issues and these deep cup insoles are no exception.

With a medium density molded EVA base, these shoe inserts ensure the feet are correctly positioned as you walk and the extra heel and forefoot cushioning offer increased shock absorption with every heel strike.

If you stand on your feet all day for work, you need these anti-fatigue insoles from Timberland.

They’re designed with an open cell foam to provide breathable, moisture wicking and resilience for high impact work. The anatomically contoured foot bed cradles the foot while the dynamic arch design adapts to any foot shape.

These shoe inserts are as comfortable as anti-fatigue mats!

Runners will love these Spenco insoles.

These heel to toe shoe inserts are designed for people on the move, with a top layer of extra shock absorption and a cradled heel plug for added cushion when tackling high intensity activities.

The foam foot bed is lightweight and comfortable, and these thick insoles provide a ton of cushioning power so you’ll feel like you’re running on pillows!

Inserts for sneakers and boots are a bit easier to disguise.

But what if you’re looking for arch support in flat heeled, casual shoes?

Then check out these popular shoe inserts from Birkenstock. The German company has been specializing in footwear since 1774 (longer than the US has been a country!) and their insoles also benefit from excellent German engineering.

These supportive inserts are Birkenstock’s most popular for arch support and specifically meant to provide stability and long term comfort in casual sandals or slip on shoes.
