Carbon Fiber Insoles, Carbon Fiber Foot Plate 1 Pair Rigid Shoe Insert Support Turf Toe, Foot Fractures, Morton Extension, Hallux Rigidus and Limitus - Alternative to Post Op Shoe

My foot surgeon wants to reduce my foot bend/movement as much as possible due to arthritis and suggested I find a very stiff soled shoe. Easier said than done. It was impossible to find everything in a shoe including that even though I gave up long ago on ever wearing "pretty" shoes again due to my fused ankes/feet. So I thought of inserts, found these and bingo. They seem to work well and the price is outstanding compared to others online. They're extremely thin, rigid and also very narrow so even the men's won't even come close to the width of the shoe but that's not necessary for them to work. They take up very little room which is great since I have much thicker inserts I also wear. Because they're so rigid, they can be a little annoying to push all the way into the toe area of certain styles of laced shoes/sneaks. Therefore I bought several more pairs in order to avoid having to switch them from 1 pair of shoes to another. I bought a 9 mens; I wear a womens 10.5-11. Measure carefully because they're metal and not trimmable! A great buy.

I play pickleball thrice a week and badminton once a week. Been suffering with turf toe for a while. After using this, my big toe doesn't hurt anymore! Loved the first pair and ordered another pair for my second shoes as well. It comes with a pair of insoles which is soft enough. Overall excellent product. Looks like this might last for a while, so durable as well. Size was true for me.

Bought these as a recommendation to put in my less-than-supportive shoes after a foot fracture. Measured my current insoles & they fit! It does take patience & skill to put them in your shoes but once in, they’re supportive & definitely better than an orthopedic shoe!!!

Not bad, hopefully it helps with my metatarsal issue! Sturdy & well made. A bit smaller tho because I pushed it all the way up my shoe & there still was a 1” gap. I wear a 8.5 women & it was women 8-8.5 & still left a gap but I needed it more on my toe area so I pushed it forward in my shoe, hopefully it doesn’t shift or I will have to tape it down. Will update later for future developments!

My ortho doctor recommended these. I’ve developed arthritis & beginning of bone spurs in the bones on the top of my foot. These are a firm, rigid PLATE that keep your shoe from bending at the toe & ball of foot thus relieving pressure farther up the foot. They are NOT a soft, comfy, arch support. That is not their purpose. They help prevent flexing of the toes/ball of foot & in doing so yes, your heel rises out of your shoe a little. Takes some gtg used to cuz it makes your shoe rigid & they prevent you from pushing off from the toe area as you walk. I ordered my shoe size & they fit perfectly. You rip out your shoes insole. Put in the carbon plate & cover with the insole that comes with the plate. After a couple days I am 90% pain free. Highly recommend.

These are perfectly flat stiff insoles that go under a cushioning insole. While they are not very impressive when you open the package, they feel amazing! I have arthritis in my big toe and it's very painful, bone spurs prevent moving as well. And these are a dream come true. My chiropractor recommended them. It's like a gentle spring in your shoe and the relief they have provided is incredible. I'm ordering more for my other shoes as well.

These aren't comfortable, but they can help reduce your shoe bending. Recommend wearing a brace in shoe or cushion insoles with it.

I’m very impressed with this carbon fiber insole! The rigidity was exactly what I needed to protect my two fractured toes, as it limited foot flexibility and kept my toes stable while healing. I ordered a size 8 to match my athletic shoe size, and it fit perfectly in several pairs of shoes without any extra bulk. The insole is incredibly lightweight, so it didn’t add any noticeable weight, making it easy to wear for extended periods. The included soft insert added an extra layer of comfort, which was a nice touch. With this insole, I was able to transition smoothly out of my walking boot, as it provided excellent support and minimized toe movement. Highly recommend it to anyone recovering from a foot or toe injury!
