Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Probably a limited audience for this, so FWIW.
With a painful bout of plantar fasciitis over a year ago, I bought the best quality insoles I could find *** for golf and (exercise) walking. I did various exercises as well, so no idea what helped, maybe it all did. I have kept the insoles in my golf and [-]running[/-] walking shoes.
Last week I played golf, walked all 18 holes (about 18K steps) and my calfs and feet hurt after, more than I'd noticed in prior rounds. I noticed I'd worn golf shoes with the cheap insoles they came with, thought that might be it. So happens I have two pairs of identical golf shoes, just different colors, so I wore the pair with the good insoles the next round. And no leg or foot pain after that round or several more after. There is no doubt in my mind the insoles made a substantial difference, night and day.
So I'm convinced the really good (better than Dr Scholl's or drug store insoles) DO make a substantial difference. So much so, that I bought another two pairs for my golf, walking and hiking shoes.
*** PowerStep Pinnacle and Pulse Plus - but there are some other top notch insoles e.g. Superfeet
