Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts Review & Giveaway

~~The giveaway is CLOSED. Congrats to winner Danielle!~~

We constantly put pressure on our feet, whether it's from running around after our kids or standing for hours at work, which often leaves them tired and achy. Foot discomfort can be exacerbated by high heels or wacky shoes and may seriously affect our day-to-day life. Dr. Scholl's® offers an easy and affordable solution to this problem with the Custom Fit® Orthotic Inserts, which provide customized comfort and support for all day relief of tired achy feet.

Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts come in a variety of types. To find out which pair works best for you, you need to visit a Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Center, located in retail stores like Walmart and CVS. Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Center uses footmapping® Technology with over 2,000 sensors to identify your unique foot pressure points and arch type, and then recommends the right Custom Fit Orthotic Insert for you based on your measurements. Please visit www.footmapping.com to find a kiosk near you.

Here's the Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Center in the pharmacy section of our closest Walmart Supercenter. The on-screen instructions are clear and easy to follow. It took me only a few minutes to obtain my Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts recommendation.

I received a pair of the recommended CF310 inserts for review. The inserts are not of full length (about 3/4), which make it easier to fit them in shoes of different styles and different sizes. I tried them in my sneakers, pumps, flats and boots, and found them working in all of these shoes, with sneakers having the best fit. I instantly felt the difference the inserts had made on my feet, which were well-cushioned and supported. After wearing the inserts daily for a few weeks, I've witnessed noticeable improvement in my foot health. I can walk longer without feeling any discomfort in my feet. I turn to my foot massager less often for pain relief. The inserts fit my shoes so nicely that I often forgot that I was wearing them.

Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts retails around $50, saving people up to a couple hundred dollars versus other custom orthotic inserts on the market. You may learn more about the inserts at Dr. Scholl's website. From now through December 31, 2011, you may receive a $7.50 mail-in rebate on any Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit Orthotic Inserts available on the kiosk.
