WalkFit Orthotics

Walkfit Orthotics are an As Seen On TV item which are supposed to help reduce foot and back pain when inserted into your shoes. In a nutshell an orthotic insole will balance your posture and and correct any inequities in your feet, legs, hips and back.

If you think about it the chances of both of our feet being exact replicas of each other are very slim. If they are not exactly the same that it would make sense that our "allignment" might be a bit off. This could cause all types of pain and possibly lead to chronic pain issues.

If you factor in the need for our legs, hips and lower back to also line up in perfect fashion the chances of inequities rise tremendously. Oh, and keep in mind shoe sizes. Shoes are made in general sizes for massive sale. The chances that our feet are perfect matches for the generally accepted shoe sizes is a long shot as well. Then if you have flat feet or high arches forget about it.! It's a wonder that we can buy shoes off the rack at all.

So the need for orthotic insoles, or arch supports has grown rapidly as the public becomes more educated on foot health. There are a lot of companies out there offering orthotics and the Walkfit Orthotics are among the most popular. But do they work?

Let's read some Walkfit Orthotics Reviews and find out.

Walk Fit Orthotics Reviews

Walk Fit Orthotics are an improved version of the Phase 4 Orthotics product from Sylmark. WalkFit Orthotics are designed to strengthen the heel and ankle by distributing body weight evenly in the foot. This product also protects against the shock of high impact activity. Many common foot conditions can be helped by the use of Orthotic shoe in-soles. It can take a few weeks to break in your new orthotics.

Here's what I found about Walk Fit Orthotics Online


FIRST A SKEPTIC, NOW A BELIEVER!

Rated 5 out of 5

Wow, I have to tell you that I truly did not believe that this product could give this much relief for the price. I suffered from lower back pain, fallen arches and corns / callouses that I contributed with the aging body. Once I accustomed my feet to the insoles, which by no means was painful, just that you are "aware" that they are there. My feel feel fantastic!! I NO LONGER have the lower back pain due to the misalignment in my feet. Where I before had a fallen arch, I now observe a natural curve from usging these insoles. My corns and callouses have begun to smooth themselves out and go away. Truly a phenomenal product and I am very thankful for the results. Don`t hesitate in buying these insoles!!

they worked great from day one

I ordered the walkfit orthotics not expecting much, but being deperate to find some help for my extreme lower back, hip and knee pain I thought I would try them. I read the info in the package before wearing and saw the product may need a "break in" time before I would notice a change. I`ll tell you what from the minute i put these in my shoes I have noticed a huge difference. My back & hip pain have been reduced significantly. I can actually walk without limping, I can walk through a store with out feeling like my back is breaking in half. I still have some knee pain, but then again my knee did suffer an injury to that knee. Bottom Line: I feel like they gave me my mobility back!

be skeptical

iI`m very skeptical about any T.V advertisements. simply put this product works and is much less expensive as other comparisons. They don`t say that much about the air vents but if your feet sweat and crack the vents will really help. NOW FOR THE CONS: IF YOU BUY ,THIS SITE WILL TRY TO SELL YOU CUSHIONS FASTER SHIPPING ETC, THAT`S UP TO YOU I DID NOT LIKE THAT ALSO I HAVE YET TO SEE A RECEIPT WITH THE AMMOUNT I PURCHASED. OTHER THAN THAT THEY WORK.

re-ordering now

OK they`re not perfect but they are very good for the money. I only ever wear 2 pairs of shoes and mostly sneakers. for the cost of two month`s worth of the drugstore inserts (which rot out) I got a year from one pair. they cracked a little under the heel but it didn`t affect the performance, so i stayed with them and anyway who really believes in lifetime warrantys for under $100. For the cost of shipping to return them you`re better off ordering one or two new pairs to rotate so they last longer

Feets` Best Friends

I love my Phase 4 Orthotics! My heel pain immediately went away. Thanks for pain-free feet again!!!

The best!
Rated 5 out of 5
I`ve tried tons of inserts and these really are the best ones I`ve found. They take a little breaking in, but I`m on my feet all day and it`s soooo worth it. I ordered extra so I don`t have to change them out from shoe to shoe!

Lower back pain
Rated 4 out of 5
They do take a break-in period... but I believe I have less lower back pain when I stand or walk for an extended period of time. Most of the time my job allows me to sit, so when I do have to stand or walk a lot - I start to notice the pain in my lower back and hips. These should help that (I hope)

Unbelievable
Rated 5 out of 5
These really work recommended by a friend, heel spurs better in less than a week. Suffering for 6 months. Try them and be patient. follow directions and let your feet adjust

My Walkfit Orthotics Review

So my walkfit orthotics review is a bit different. I watched the Walk Fit Orthotics commercial and I agree with everything they said. Accept for 1 thing. I don't agree that Walkfit Orthotics corrects the problems they claim and I don't agree with the fact that WalkFit Orthotics are a product that works. I agree that an orthotic insole is the answer but I doubt it's walkfit.

I also read each of the comments posted above and a billion more online and even though I'm sure that walkfit orthotics provide some relief, I doubt they are good for anyone.

The point I raised above should have woken you up to the fact that if our feet have a slim chance of being exact replicas of each other, how could a massed produced orthotic device fit everyone who buys one.

Think about, we all have been told by our doctors that one of our feet is longer than the other or that one hip is higher than the other. Just take a look at your toes. They probably differ a little bit from to foot to fit. Even the slightest inequity can lead to a change in gait or alter your posture. So doesn't make sense that if you are going to buy an insole that it should be custom made for your foot.

I often see the Dr. Scholl's custom orthotic commercial on TV and wonder how could it be custom if they are hanging there on the rack. I went to a store that the Kiosk and stepped on the pad. It told me that I was perfect for one of the inserts, ( I forgot the recommended number)

What really was happening was that Dr Scholl's was measuring me to see which one of their orthotics that I best fit into, not what making a custom orthotic for me. My opinion is that anyone looking for an arch support just spend a little extra time and order a true custom fit orthotic.

You would be surprised how inexpensive they are. By the time you spend the money or a walkfit and pay shipping and handling you are making a small investment in a product that probably isn't suited for you. I ordered a custom kit from FootCare Express and it cost me around $100.

I received a kit in the mail, followed the directions and stepped onto the mold to make a cast of my feet. I mailed it back and my custom fit orthotics came 13 days later. They are really comfortable and I don't regret it one bit. They also have my measurements on file in case I want to order in the future and there are actual foot doctors on staff. For a few extra dollars I got an actual custom foot orthotic as opposed to buying an as seen on tv item.

I don't want to say that in my Walkfit Orthotic Review that the Walk Fit is a bad product but I don't want people just to assume it's good just because they see a bunch of people on a commercial and read a bunch of positive reviews. Think for yourself and do as much research as you can before you buy.

Great Hub Buddy, I know you had issues with walk fit sizes so I think you explained it well. I certainly will spring for the custom fit orthotics in the future.

This product, and company is the biggest crooks I have ever seen they do not have a product at all. $10 at Walmart will help you 10 times more than there junk. All these people that swear by them are all paid to do that.
