Product Description
The PowerStep® Pinnacle full-length orthotic insoles with built-in arch support and two layers of plush cushioning are the perfect balance of comfort and support. The Pinnacle insoles feature the podiatrist-designed PowerStep arch that cradles the arch and heel, adding stability and motion control to limit excess stress on feet, ankles, joints, and tendons. Pinnacle is the ideal choice to relieve and prevent pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis and is the #1 podiatrist-recommended orthotic arch pain relief for men and women will love adding to their lives. Feet with neutral or standard arches naturally allow for pronation when walking. Pronation is defined by the ankles rolling slightly inward, placing pressure on the bigger toes and inside of the foot. Neutral arches need a stable, yet flexible orthotic arch for shock absorption and proper alignment. Pinnacle arch support insoles provide this support and are clinically proven to relieve and prevent pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles Tendonitis, and other common foot conditions. By combining premium cushioning and the clinically proven PowerStep arch shape in a semi-rigid neutral arch support shell to counter compressing arches, the PowerStep Pinnacle shoe insoles are a trusted solution to improve foot function, decrease arch pain, and help alleviate common foot conditions typically caused by mild to moderate pronation.
Mild to moderate pronation can cause: Plantar Fasciitis; Achilles Tendonitis; Arch & heel pain; Ankle, knee, hip & back pain; Shin splints; Bunions; Heel spurs; Hammer & claw toes; Calluses & corns.
Whether you are searching for work boot insoles for men and women or something for more activity on your feet like running shoe inserts for women and men, PowerStep offers a wide range of orthotics and arch support inserts that will get you back to living your best life, one painless step at a time.

These are great inserts that are comfortable and provide great arch support. Get them!
In Depth review:
I suffer from some foot problems. Suffer is a strong word but pretty accurate. Details are here, or just jump to the next paragraph because you probably don't actually care about my feet.
I have flat feet with barely any arch in them. I also have bunions which make my toes angle about 15 degrees inward (and judging by my father they will be at 45 degrees in the next 15 years). My flat feet creates adduction (rotating inward) in my step, worsening the bunion issue and increasing the tension in my feet. In any case, all these things make my feet hurt frequently. Not necessarily every day, and not necessarily "pain" where it is sharp an unbearable. Think what sore muscles feel like, as a deep inside dull pain - sometimes throbbing - and just constantly there. That is as close as I can describe it. So anyways - that is my situation.
I have always looked at arch supports and cushioning to attempt to help with my situation. I have never been happy with any of the products or results. So I basically stopped looking figuring nothing off the shelf would ever help.My mom went to a podiatrist for some of her issues and she got inserts that cost $400 and even then she wasn't happy with them. I pretty much just gave up and accepted my lot in life.
An extended family member mentioned she wore these and loved them, just in a passing comment, so I looked them up and decided to give them a try. Honestly, I bought a pair for my wife first since she works on her feet. When they arrived I looked at them and stood on them (without shoes) just to get an idea on what they are like. They seemed good, and my wife confirmed she liked them so I pulled the trigger and bought myself a pair.
I have worn these for about a week now and love them. Are they the best thing out there? Probably not. Are they the solution for everybody? Probably not. But I do think they are probably the best over the counter item that you can buy and will probably help 90% of the people out there. All for a reasonable price.
Support -
These supports add a good amount of support, and hold my feet in a position that doesn't allow them to move in a way that will hurt my feet or ankles. They are very comfortable, and my lower back pain is lessened from the improved step.
I would probably comment that I do feel them pressing on my arches, since I am flat footed. This can be uncomfortable after a while, but not worse than the typical foot pain I have without them, so the benefits far outweigh this issue. I would suspect if my arches were slightly higher (or the supports slightly lower) I wouldn't feel this at all.
Sizing -
I bought the Men's 10-10.5 sizing. I wear 10 or 10.5 depending on the cut of the shoe.
Ironically, I just bought a paid of 11s just because the cut tapered in at the tip (which isn't good for my bunions) but in the 11 it fit well around my toes and the extra space in front doesn't alter my standing or stepping.
The Pinnacles fit the size 11 shoes exactly.comparing the removed insoles to the Pinnacle they were a dead on match in size.
That surprised me since I wouldn't have imagined that much extra material would be used, but at the end of the day it is a good thing, because they are pretty much guaranteed to fit your shoes - but also very likely you will need to trim them to fit.
I will also comment that with the full length insert they recommend you remove the shoes existing insert first. This is a must as otherwise the shoe is too tight and cramped and just trades one problem for another. But actually replacing the insole is like converting your shoe into something new and better.
I don't switch between shoes very often, but I can definitely see me buying a couple pairs of these and cutting them to fit ever shoe I own.
It is well worth the investment.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2025Size: Men's Size 8-8.5 / Women's Size 10-10.5Color: BlueVerified PurchaseI am on my second pair of power step pinnacle insoles. Before I tried them, I had been suffering with plantar fasciitis in my left foot for several months. I tried a few cheaper insoles with little to no change.
The first time I tried the pinnacles I had instant relief! They cradle my heel and support my arch perfectly. I wore them all day every day for four straight months before they wore out. I think that’s pretty good. They fit in most of my casual shoes other than slip on dressy type shoes.
My foot began to heal and have less pain. But by then I had worn them out and began to hurt a little again. So now I am on my second pair and ready to continue the healing journey! I really feel these are the best bet to allow my foot to heal.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2025Size: Men's Size 12-13Color: BlueVerified PurchaseI recently tried the PowerStep Pinnacle insoles, and honestly, they’re a game-changer for anyone on their feet a lot. I deal with mild plantar fasciitis, and these provided solid arch support right out of the box—no break-in needed. The dual-layer cushioning feels plush but not mushy, and the semi-rigid shell keeps my feet stable without being too stiff. I swapped them into my work boots and sneakers, and they fit both perfectly, no trimming required. After a week of 10-hour days, my heel pain was noticeably down, and my knees didn’t ache like usual. They’re also pretty durable—I’ve had mine for a couple of months with no signs of wear. Overall, highly recommend for anyone needing legit support without custom orthotic prices. The functionality is perfect! The thickness requires the removable of old inserts.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2015Size: Men's Size 10-10.5/Women's Size 12Color: BlueVerified PurchaseI really wanted to write an in depth helpful review so that I could actually try and help people find some relief for their foot, back, and knee pain that they might be experiencing like I do. Before I start, let me say that from my research and testing of many different OTC orthotic insoles and arch supports I do not think they are all bad or all good. I think they have to be matched to the type of foot you have. Having said that, it can be frustrating to continuously spend money on insoles that offer no help. I have not tried everything on the market, but I have tried many and here are the results that have helped me.
First, I have a size 10 foot that is wide. My foot actually measures 9.5 and E in width on a brannock device but through experience I always buy a 10 2E running shoe. Even then certain styles might be a bit snug in the width for me. I am 5'11" and weigh 194. So over the years from gaining weight, being on my feet all day in the medical field, and being pretty active, my arches have fallen. Until I found out they had fallen, I never understood why after being on my feet all day the pain in my feet, ankles, and knees, was downright terrible. Then I started trying the different inserts and some helped but most were a waste of money. You can research on the net how fallen arches contribute to this pain.
For my condition, I tend to need a higher arch support that will not collapse when running and staying on my feet all day. So began my search.
For my type of condition, the two best products that have worked for me are the blue colored powerstep pinnacle and the Dr. Scholls # 430 insert sold on the foot mapping machines at walmart. I do realize that these are not custom inserts, but I am trying to avoid the expensive orthopedist route as long as I can.
So the powerstep pinnacle has the right amount of the medium to high arch support that I require. I can feel the lump under my arch as some have complained about, but this seems to be exactly what I need to feel relatively pain free after being on my feet all day or running my miles each evening. These do take a day or so to get used to, but they have helped me very well for the most part. Do I feel like I'm 18 and problem free again....no, but its the best I've felt yet short of spending a fortune and going the custom route. I have worn these insoles two ways. On shoes that run big I have placed them on top of the factory insole which gave just a little extra cushion and I have also removed the factory insole and used just the powerstep insole by itself. These are strictly running shoes that I have tested these in, but I have no doubt they would work in boots as well. I do not think they would fit in dress shoes. As a side note I also tried the maroon colored pinnacle max but the wedge on the bottom of the orthotic over compensated too much for my level of pronation and it was uncomfortable for me. I use the blue inserts in a stability type running shoe and this has been the best combination for me.
The other insert that worked well for me was the 430 Dr.Scholls on top of the factory insole as these are 3/4 length.
So for my type of foot, I have tried the green super feet which did not offer enough arch support but were very comfortable for someone who may require less support. The pinnacle maxx were great except for that square plate underneath which over corrected my pronation and was uncomfortable. I tried the Dr. Scholls arch pain relief which were terrible compared to the other 430's. They did not fit well in any shoe and the arch support while high, did not ever seem to fall in the right position for my foot. I tried the envelop 3/4 orthotics and these did not work well either. They too just never fit in the shoe right or felt natural. I tried the VIVEsole 3/4 length and these felt like they had no arch support at all and were so narrow they kept shifting around in the shoe.
I am still waiting to receive some spenco's and some prolab p3 semi customs to try and see how they do.
I will rate the pinnacles at a 4 because they feel about as good as my #430 Dr.Scholls and they do help a lot, but I'm sure compared to a custom they can only do so much. They were by far the best OTC I have come across in my testing so far. So if you need the higher support from fallen arches like I do, these may help you. Remember, you will feel the highness under your arch which you get used to. and you should wear them intermittently the first few days to adapt to them. Don't be afraid to try them with or without the factory insole left in place.
********update********* I now had a chance to compare the blue pinnacles against my expensive semi-custom prolab p3 orthotics and I am sending the P3's back. It's not that they were bad, they just were not as comfortable as the blue pinnacle orthotics and the pinnacles are 1/3 the price!!!! I am considering changing this review to 5 stars because of how pleased I am with the pinnacles compared to all of the other orthotics I am slowly trying. I do still think they might be a bit tough for constant running compared to the #430's because the 430's have so much cushion.

Size: Men's Size 12-13Color: BlueVerified PurchaseI put the insoles into my basketball shoes and they helped a lot but the top layer peeled off and now the foam is coming off after approximately 1 month of use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lesson learned
Size: Men's Size 6-6.5 / Women's Size 8-8.5Color: BlueVerified PurchaseOrdered these thinking they were un a uk size but realised after opening the package they are a us size. Also i didn't realise the seller doesn't take a refund eirher. Now I'm out of pocket and have no insoles fot my planter facilities which i desperately need. Gutted is an understatrment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Me alivio dolor en el pie
Size: Mens Size 9-9.5 Women's Size 11-11.5Color: BlueVerified PurchaseTenia un dolor con cierto tipo de zapato (suela delgada), y pensaba que ya no podria utilizarlos. Me di una ultima oportunidad con estas plantillas, y estoy muy contento por que ya no siento dolor. Son muy comodas y se sienten de buen material. La entrega de amazon sin problemas.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too thick metatarsal area, too thin heel area, but arch is fine
Size: Men's Size 10-10.5/Women's Size 12Color: BlueVerified PurchaseThe metatarsal area is too thick making fo a crampy foot. The heel offers little shock absorption. The arch is firm and gives good support. Only recomendable for people with narrow feet who need no heel protection.
