Dr. Scholl's plantar fasciitis insoles are the most accessible option on the market — available at every pharmacy for under $20. But do they actually work? We wore them for 42 days straight and measured how much arch height they lost. Here's the honest verdict.
Dr. Scholl's Heavy Duty Support
✓ Wear-tested 42 days with digital calipers — see our testing protocol
| Spec | Measured |

| Price (RRP) | $19.9 |
| Arch Height | 16 mm |
| Heel Cup Depth | 10.5 mm |
| Weight | 85 g |
| Days Tested | 42 days |
Our Verdict: Good value and immediate comfort with no break-in required. However, the foam compressed visibly after just 35 days. Good for a tight budget, but expect to replace it frequently.
✅ Pros
- Immediate comfort, no break-in needed
- Very affordable
❌ Cons
- Foam compressed after 5 weeks
- Arch support is less pronounced
