Since I’ve been dealing with the lovely condition known as Plantar Fasciitis, I have become very interested in insoles. So much so that nowadays I only wear two pair of shoes – my Sketcher’s and my running shoes – because I simply cannot deal with uncomfortable shoes. I’m happy to say that while my PF has gotten markedly better in the last couple of months, I still want my feet to be as comfy as possible. So when Ashley at Insoles and Beyond (insolesandbeyond.com) emailed me with an offer to try a pair of their insoles, I jumped on it!
Insoles and Beyond is a small, family owned company out of Chapel Hill, NC and I am all about supporting small businesses. I much prefer to deal with a small business whenever I can so I am happy to promote this company. Ashley was easy to work with and offered suggestions of the type of insoles I might like based on my needs. Ordering from their website was easy and the shipping was fast (and also free for all US orders!). I had no issues, but I’m fairly certain that if I’d had any, Ashley would have been available to help solve them.
Insoles and Beyond offers many types of insoles – for running, for everyday wear, for work shoes…pretty much any need you have, they’ll have an insert to meet your need.
I ordered the currexSole RunPro Medium, based on Ashley’s recommendation for an insole to go in a running shoe that would also be good for PF. I put these insoles in my current running shoes and man, they felt good!! For the first time in a long time, I noticed zero foot pain while on the treadmill. I am very happy with these insoles, and I will probably order more insoles to go in other shoes (I hate having to keep switching out insoles to go in other shoes, and besides I think it’s better to give insoles a day’s rest in between wearings).
So that’s my experience with Insoles and Beyond. Want your own experience? Lucky you!! Insoles and Beyond has agreed to give one of you a store credit* of $50 so you can order your own insoles!! All you have to do to enter is this:

I had PF. Threw out all my cheap shoes and started wearing shoes with good arch supports and it took about a month for it to totally heal. Exercises helped also. Because of that, I never wear shoes that don’t have good arch supports anymore…
PF is no fun. It took me about a year to finally have my foot feel normal again. I put insoles in everything even my slippers. I don’t have twitter but did do the newsletter and FB. Hope your PF gets feeling better soon.

I don’t need any insoles, but I can totally relate to your PF issue. I suffered with it for at least two years, and nothing I tried worked. It finally just went away on its own. The “structured” shoes and insoles that I tried seemed to make it work. I think my feet are weird and don’t conform to the norm, because I feel best barefoot and in flip flops. Arch supports are my enemy!
I have PF too, and paid a good bit of money for orthotics professionally made, but I would LOVE to have some extra insoles, so that I don’t have to keep switching the two pairs I have from shoe to shoe. My feet are so much better with the insoles I have. Thanks for the info on this company. I will be checking them out, and I have posted a comment on their site. Please enter me in the give away. Yay, new insoles. Exciting! (isn’t it crazy the lil bit it takes to excite me?!) 🙂
Kindly disregard my comment on your b-day post that I thought was an entry for this give away. I actually reread this post, and followed instructions-amazing! So, I have followed Insoles and Beyond on Twitter, liked them on Facebook, and signed up for the newsletter. Looks like they have a vast array of insoles, and I hope that I win a pair to help this stupid PF go away!!
