I was skeptical about ordering custom orthotics online, but these have been a game changer for my plantar fasciitis. The app scan thing was easier than I expected - took maybe 10 minutes.
The quality really surprised me. They feel way more substantial than the drugstore inserts I've been using, and honestly better than the $600 pair I got from a podiatrist last year.
Best part was when I emailed them during the first week because they felt weird - someone actually responded the same day with real advice, not just "give it time." They checked back in with me a week later which was unexpected but nice.
Took about 3 weeks to fully adjust but now I can walk my dog without limping. At $200ish they're not cheap but way less than what I paid before, and apparently they last for years.
Would definitely buy again if I needed another pair.

Really happy with my experience getting…
Really happy with my experience getting custom orthotics from Stride Soles. I have high arches and usually have a hard time finding anything that actually feels good, but these made a difference pretty fast. The process was easy and everyone was super helpful, which made it way less intimidating. They feel solid and actually made for my feet, not like some random insert you grab off a shelf. My feet feel way better by the end of the day now. Would definitely recommend if you have arch pain or just want better support.

Plantar Fasciitis, Hallux Valgus, and Flat Feet - but now I'm walking on cloud nine!
I have the good fortune of having inherited flat feet and hallux valgus. I'm not even 30 years old, am relatively healthy with no chronic health issues and at a normal BMI, but developed plantar fasciitis. Working in the healthcare field, having to stand up on my feet for hours on end, was miserable. My feet would cramp up and I couldn't remove my shoes to massage my feet or else I'd break the sterile field. I tried everything - heel and bunion cushions, cheap Dr. Scholl's, the slightly fancier Dr. Scholl's. Nothing worked. I googled custom orthotics and found a bunch which were hundreds of dollars. I am still paying off my student loans, I don't have $800 to spend on a pair of orthotics. To top it off, all these companies said their insoles were only guaranteed for 30 days. My feet will be fine for 21 days then an issue will crop up on day 22 - I can't time my flares! This wasn't going to work for me. Then I saw Stridesoles. It was a pair of insoles under $200 (on sale) and they were made in Germany using unique technology. I loved how they asked for a video of me walking and didn't just want me to put my foot in a mold. Foot problems aren't always inherent to the sole itself, they can be higher up too - and Stridesoles knew that. The first pair I got were great - I felt an immense improvement - but all of sudden, after 2 months, the cramps came back. So I contacted Stridesoles - and they asked me where the issues remained. I told them and they added more cushioning to the problem areas and sent a new pair back. They wanted me to take my time wearing these new ones - to make sure they were exactly what I needed - then they asked me to send the old ones back. I have had no issues since getting the second pair of insoles. My feet finally do not hurt and I walked around for ELEVEN hours at work the other day without having to constantly shift my weight between my feet due to the pain. This company is built on knowledge, trust, and good customer service. And the results show. I have already bragged about Stridesoles to my coworkers, friends, and family. Grab a pair and see the Stridesoles difference for yourself - you'll wonder why you waited this long!

Amazing inserts
The app was really easy to use. I provided a video of myself walking as well. Within a week of using the inserts my ankle/knee pain went away. I use the inserts in my peleton shoes, lifting shoes and walking shoes. Definitely wish I bought a pair vs one.

Better - and less expensive than podiatrist custom orthotics
I went to the podiatrist who took a 3D image of my foot to make a custom orthotic. He wanted $440 a pair. This seemed crazy to me. I looked up this company, took my own 3D photo of my feet with a friend's iphone, and sent it in. The orthotics are fantastic. I have bunions on both sides of both feet - so the orthotics are built to help my toes align better. I've had a number of other custom orthotics before and these are by far the best.

Don't walk, run!
Last year I was diagnosed with a gnarly case of bilateral Morton's Neuroma and have gotten steroid injections for them. As they haven't fully gone away I also needed a pair of custom made insoles to keep me pain free. Through my insurance and podiatrists office I got a pair made that keep cracking and are currently sent back to the manufacturer, so to be pain free in these instances I started looking into different mail order custom insoles. I got served so many ads for Stride Soles competitors, but I didn't like that you needed to send the foot mold to them, as my podiatrist actually mentioned that these are really tricky to do alone and need to be done in a certain way so that the insoles are made correctly. I almost gave up on getting another pair until one late night I saw a reddit thread that mentioned Stride Soles and after looking into on their website I was sold. They're made in Germany, they use scans, pictures and videos of your feet to create your insoles and they have a 180 day return policy. I placed my order, sent my pictures and my insoles were in my mailbox within 2 weeks. The insoles are amazing, unlike my podiatrist ones which are made of a foam like material, these seem almost 3d printed and are way more durable. I've been using them for over 2 weeks and they show 0 wear and tear (my old ones show cracks after 2 weeks) and they have become my primary insoles.
If you're on the fence, don't walk, run and after you get them you'll be able to walk and run a lot better! I cannot recommend these enough! Cheers! 🥂
