Question 1

Can anyone tell me how these compare to the standard Powerstep Pinnacle (non-Maxx) insole?

Accepted Answer

I prefer these Maxx insoles over the standard.

Question 2

Do these work well for over pronation?

Accepted Answer

They have been my lifesaver.  I was already scheduled for pttd surgery.  I bought one to start of with, then I bought a second pair. I use them in my sneakers and closed toe shoes. Have someone take a picture from the back barefooted and then place the insoles by themselves on the floor and stand on them and take another picture.  You'll see the difference.  I can be the complete day with.then on.  Good luck

Question 3

How do these compare to Superfeet Black for flat feet?

Accepted Answer

I found that the arch support in the Superfeet Black insole (and all other Superfeet models) was positioned too close to the heel. It felt like I had a marble in my shoe and very little support. The "rear position" arch issue has been a problem with several insole brands that I've tried. However, the Powerstep insoles seem to have the arch positioned perfectly for the shape of my foot. It's also just flexible enough be really comfortable while providing lots of support. Add the deep heel cup- and the Pinnacle Maxx has been the absolute best insole for correcting my arch/overpronation problems. Another issue with the Superfeet insoles has been the hard plastic molding's sharp edges digging into the footbed area of some shoes. The Powerstep insoles don't have that problem. The truth is that there are lots of factors (foot shape, arch height, pronation, etc...) and you just have to find what works for your situation. In my case, I've had the best results with Powerstep and Redi-Thotics and Remind brand insoles- mostly due to the position and shape of the arch. I hope that's helpful information for someone trying to figure out what try next.

Question 4

Do these have more padding? than the regular Pinnacle Blues I would like more cushion in the heel

Accepted Answer

They have a layer of cushioning but they do not have more padding in the heel. The ProTech is the only Powerstep that has an extra cushion in the heel.  However, the Pinnacle Maxx is a posted orthotic meaning it has a small lift in the heel which brings your heel at a higher level, taking pressure off of the heel. Plus with the arch support, this is a great orthotic for Plantar Fasciitis amongst other foot problems.
