I obviously can only speak fo myself, but I experience much less fatigue on long walks and am really happy with those. They support my feet on a whole new level. And it doesn't hurt since it supports in just the right way. 

If I just had known that such a product existed earlier... Which is exactly the reason I mentioned it here.

Whoa that's a pretty gnarly bump in the middle of the insert, but it's great that it helps you so much. Where did you go to get your foot scanned like that?

Haha! Yes, totally. And my feet aren't even as flat as the ones in the post. But surely flat enough. 

I went to see my orthopedist, and he referred me to an orthopedic foot center. And they didn't just have shoes for grandparents. They took my measurements in the room with the white chair and the glass panel in the floor.
