A few years ago, I stress-fractured both my shins after running my first half marathon. From that point on, I’ve been extra careful about how I take care of my body — and it all starts with what goes on my feet.

The first recommendations my orthopedist made to prevent future injuries was to purchase inserts for my shoes. PowerStep Pinnacle Insoles had over 31,000 reviews on Amazon, the majority of which are five stars, which immediately grabbed me.

The product is molded to support your arches and stabilize your ankles as you walk. The comfortable, dual-layer cushioning reduces load on your feet. It’s firm yet flexible so that you can go about your daily activities without discomfort.

As someone who often pronates, I was happy to hear that the insoles teach my feet and ankles to no longer roll inwards. My tendency to rotate my feet has given me years of shin splints. Others who do the same may suffer from bunions, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, hammer and claw toes, calluses and corns. (And who wants those?)

Podiatrists recommend the inserts for runners, as well as those who suffer from plantar fasciitis and are prone to ankle, knee and foot injuries.

You can slip the insoles into walking, athletic and even work shoes for some extra support during the day, especially if you anticipate you’re going to be standing around a lot.

Plus, you order the product by size, so it fits your exact measurements without needing to trim.

One Amazon user gushed: “My orthopedic doctor recommended these. I suffered a torn ligament injury in my foot. During recovery, he suggested I use these. Not only do they help you not pronate your foot inwards, but they provide excellent support. I was very impressed.”

Another agreed, “Very comfortable. Have Achilles issues and these have helped with aches and pains associated with this. The arch feels great as well. Very sturdy insoles.”

Give your feet the TLC they’re aching for (literally) and find your stride in the PowerStep Pinnacle Insoles, now available on Amazon.
