Customer Reviews of Walk Fit Othotics by Phase4 - Size G
Customer Review: Pleased with Walk Fit
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my 2nd purchase of this product and they do wonders for me. My old ones were over 2 yrs old and getting a little worn. I've had problems over the years with Plantar Fachitus (heel spurs). Orthotics are a must for me.
I gave it 5 stars. Not sure why is says 2.
Customer Review: Try them out - do it properly
Summary: 5 Stars
I can understand why some people don't like these and why you may see bad reviews of WalkFits. If you put them in your shoe and you don't have the proper padding they WILL be uncomfortable. Be sure to lift out the entire pad in your shoe - no matter how thick it is or how difficult it is to pull it out. If you wreck it you can always buy a new pad. You may even want to get a thin gel pad to put over the WalkFit, under the inner shoe lining if there is little or no padding. That's what I did with my sandals. Believe it or not with both the WalkFit and the gel under my shoe liner, it cannot be seen even though the back of the sandal exposes my heel. If you want to do it with flat backed ladies sandals, however, I don't think it would work. I would only do it with those that have a slight lip that cups the heel. I think they may look silly if they are completely flat, such as flip flop type or dress sandals. I have two pairs of WalkFits and I need more.
I ALMOST returned mine because they were so uncomfortable before I tried pulling out the entire padding (not just the top liner) in my shoe and putting it under. I really had to rip it out and I thought I was destroying my sandal while I was doing it, but didn't. The pad stayed intact and I was able to reuse.
These things really do work. I can be on my feet all day lifting heavy objects and my feet won't hurt. If you've ever worn a really good hiking or expensive work boot with a lot of support it will feel like that. (Before the WalkFits I had contemplated LIVING in my hiking boots because they were the only shoes that were comfortable. Kind of hard to go to a wedding in them, though!)
I have heel spurs and thought I would require surgery but my feet feel great now. I won't leave the house without WalkFits in my shoes. If the shoe won't accommodate them, I get rid of them or won't buy them.
I'm sure they are made out of the type material they are because they have a lifetime guarantee, are washable and are somewhat flexible. They also won't stink. I encourage people to work with them and try a way to make them fit properly and comfortably.
Customer Review: skeptic

imagine placing a roll of dimes in your shoe and trying to walk on it...that's exactly what this feels like.....i'm a 60 year old physician....this is the worst health related item i have ever tried...i'm off to the website for a refundCustomer Review: Strong orthopedics
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had prescription plastic orthopedics and these are kind of like those. I have flat feet and get severe pain in my legs and hips at the end of the day sometimes. These are good because they're pretty hard, unlike those foam insoles. I recommend them for the price, if they help it will be worth it. If they don't, its cheaper than insoles that cost $200 and don't feel much different.. I've bought 2 pairs over the years and wear them every few days. Try them...Customer Review: I got used to them, they help
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had these for a few weeks now, it did take several days to get used to them, and even early in the day my feet take a few minutes to get used to them again, but after a full day of wearing them around the house, or even walking through airports in dress shoes, I wouldn't want anything else.
I've had custom made orthotics in the past, and bought every variety of insoles and orthotics that you find in the drugstore aisles, and none provided this kind of support or durability. They feel like the custom orthotics did, but those were carbon fiber so there wasn't much give, and eventually they broke from using in sports.
So I am happy with these, worth the money, but it's a very subjective thing, some feet just won't like orthotics like this.
