If you want to cut to the chase and try another insole instead of reading further, I get it. FitMyFoot totally sucks.
The word custom usually gets my attention as does approved for HSA and FSA. So, I took a drive to my local Costco to check out the FitMyFoot roadshow. The show consisted of a person sitting at a table with shopworn insole samples strewn about.
I grabbed one of the full-length models and found the heel section to be overly soft and squishy. The rear-foot bracing plastic was passable but nowhere near as substantial as what you’ll see in Protalus or SuperFeet. Let’s just agree, right now, not to mince words — the FitMyFoot insole looked like something you might see from Dr. Scholls in terms of build and materials.
So, I figured there had to be more available FMF models. At first the woman at the table looked happy, thinking that when I said more models I meant more designs and colors for the top of the insoles.
Nope. I wanted to know if there were more models in terms of arch support, stiffness, materials, thickness the answer again was nope.
I have to say I was a little suspicious of the FMF concept from the get go. You see, I buy insoles to fit my specific tennis shoes as well as my feet. So, my snug fitting tennis shoes have thinner, softer insoles while my roomier shoes (Babolat — I’m looking at you!) have thicker and firmer insoles. My sense (and feel free to correct me if I am wrong) is that FitMyFoot scan feet to create an “exact fit” based upon on the outline of the foot, rather than taking into account how a person will be using the insole, their arch or any other specific anatomical details that are unique to the buyer.
For me, FMF is a Hard Pass at $79.99. Wait, it’s a Hard Pass with my FSA / HSA cash, too. Tt
