Food for thought

I’m in podiatry school and I’m currently in rotations with doctors dealing with custom orthotics almost daily. They can be a powerful tool to help you’re overall foot health. The price sheep feet charges is actually very reasonable for custom orthotics. It seems like a well made orthotic and could benefit most anyone who tries them, even an OTC insert could do wonders as they generally support the foot much better than anything the boot/shoe companies put in their product.

That said custom orthotics are historically done with a Podiatrist or orthopedist first completing a biomechanical exam of that particular person. There’s seriously dozens of different modifications that can be done to an orthotics prescription which to me is what makes the orthotics truly custom.its a game changer for some people who need those modifications. Another benefit of doing orthotics through a doctor or clinician is some insurances will cover or partially cover your orthotics through them. For most, these sheep feet semi custom route will work great but if you have issues or pain it might be worth the effort or extra money to visit the doc first and get something that could help even more.

^^^Good info. I'm also curious about the Sheepfeet. I've been getting custom orthotics in my ski boots for almost 20 years and I do think they help.

With off the shelf insoles I've always had one or more problems:
-The arch seems out of place. How could they not be if you are at the lower or upper end of you size range? If you trim to fit at a 9, and they also fit a size 14, why wouldn't the arch be in the wrong place?
-They take up too much volume in the toe. I'm already close to needing a wide size.
-They take up too much volume in the heel and push my heel up out of the pocket.

I've had 5 surgeries on my left foot and I am constantly in search of a solution to pain relief.

Mind if I shoot you a message? I’d like to ask you a few questions about over-pronation

Sheepfeet offers to add these different prescriptions onto you insoles if you've already met with a podiatrist and they have diagnosed the issue. There is an option when you are selecting your options.

Mine should be here any day now as well and I plan to give them a decent work out this weekend if they do arrive. Will report on monday

 

[Wyomuleskinner]

Sent my impression back. I’ll give an update in a month or so

 

[OSUsmokey]

Confirmed with Sheepfeet that my soles shipped out today. Unfortunately that means I prob wont have them for my adventures this weekend like I was hoping. Plenty of good weather on the horizon here in Oregon though so I should have a good update after next weekend.

Mine came in yesterday, and I did a solid few miles today at varying inclines and terrains. So far, very impressed. I opted for the double cushion, as well as heel stabilizer, as I struggle with quite a bit of pain stemming from flat feet that tend to overpronate (roll inwards). Out of the box they definitely were more solidly built than off the shelf brands, where my foot generally bends the plastic in the arch immediately, there was no reduction in structure. As with any orthotic, they took some getting used to, but about a mile in and they felt great. For the price, I’m already very happy. I’ve gone through too many off the shelf orthotics for this to be “expensive”, so it seems like a great value to me. I’ll include updates as I put more miles on them

They are covered by an FSA/HSA if you have that benefit through a workplace. Only reason I am considering them, but I too am trying to find any information on peoples thoughts about them and the molding process.

You are the man for pointing this out! I called my HSA customer service who confirmed this. I just ordered mine, can't wait to try them out.

How are you guys liking these insoles? Really wanting to try them out but would like to talk to someone at Sheep Feet to ask questions. I have a lot of trouble with heel blisters and sore feet when hiking a lot. Went to a less stiff boot and that has helped a lot but still get some heel lift in the boots and occasional blister on my pinky toes.

Got mine back last week. Took them out yesterday for a very small walk. Not very technical but some walking just to see what they felt like. At first it was an adjustment to the shape of the insole because it was so different than anything I’d tried before (actually my natural foot) but my foot soon settled into it and I’m impressed so far. Cannot wait to go on a farther more technical hike soon to really see if the heel cup gets rid of the lift/bite I had in my Crispi’s before. Sure felt like it will help on my limited use yesterday. I might have to get a 1/2 pair for my everyday work shoes too!

Thanks for the review. Do you typically have trouble with heel blisters? Prior to buying these insoles. I saw the option to choose "heel lift" on the website. Not sure what that means. Says prescription.

Got an answer back from Sheepfeet. I ordered a pair. I'll share my experience after I try them out for a while.

 

[Squirrels]

mine should be here early next week. i order a half pair to try so i can use them in multiple boots

If you have a spare testicle you can probably get em.

For those of you that used your HSA/FSA, did you call in to use it? I have a Visa card tied to my HSA but when I tried to buy today the transaction was declined And I know there’s plenty of funds in the account. I’m sure it’s my account because its very finicky on where it will be accepted.

I didn't have any issues using my HSA card. Transaction went right through.
