I Tried 3 Insoles for Morton's Neuroma Only One Actually Worked.

Updated August 2026

After spending $100's on insoles that didn't help, I finally found the one that did. Here's my honest comparison.

I want to preface this by saying I'm not someone who writes reviews. But after 14 months of Morton's Neuroma that made me dread walking... anywhere, I feel like I owe it to anyone else out there going through the same thing to share what actually worked.

My podiatrist diagnosed me with Morton's Neuroma about a year ago. She said the usual stuff: rest, advil, shoes with wide toe boxes, and get some supportive insoles. What she didn't tell me was that not all insoles are built the same — and that I'd burn through $150 trying to find one that helped before I landed on the right answer.

Here's exactly what I tried, in order.

THE LINEUP

2 out of 5 stars

SUPERFEET GREEN

Podiatrist-recommended, foam base with a hard plastic shell. The most prescribed over-the-counter option I found. I wore these for 6 weeks.

3 out of 5 stars

POWERSTEP PINACLE

Sold specifically for foot pain. Dual-layer foam with a firm arch. I gave these 7 weeks because I kept hoping they'd "break in."

5 out of 5 stars

FULTON CLASSIC INSOLE

Cork base with a deep heel cup and arch that actually contours. Different from anything foam-based I'd tried — and I noticed a difference within the first week.

What made Fulton different wasn't marketing — it was the material. The cork actually molds slightly to the shape of your foot over time, which meant the arch support was hitting the right spot instead of a generic position. The foam insoles from Superfeet and PowerStep felt like they were built for an average foot. Fulton felt like it was adjusting to mine, and the pressure of my body was distributed evenly across my foot, instead of all going to the front.

The deep heel cup was the other thing I kept coming back to. With Morton's Neuroma , every step feels like the heel is landing wrong - and some how all going to my forefoot. Fulton's cup kept my heel aligned in a way that reduced the impact with every step. Within two weeks, that intense pain— the kind where you brace yourself before your feet hit the floor — was almost completely gone.

"I had tried every 'Morton's Neuroma' insole' on the first page of Amazon. Fulton was the first one that felt like it was actually doing something."

By week four, I was walking without thinking about my feet. That hadn't happened in over a year.

I'm not saying Superfeet or PowerStep are bad products. I'm sure they work for some people. But for me — with plantar fasciitis, flat arches, and a history of going through 3 different Dr. Scholl's before that — they weren't the answer. Fulton was.

If you're still trying to figure out which insole is actually going to help, I'd skip what I skipped and start here.

Why Fulton Worked Better For Me

After wearing all three, I think the difference came down to three things:

1. The Support Felt Custom

The cork gradually adapted to my foot shape instead of forcing my foot into a predetermined shape.

The longer I wore them, the better they felt.

2. Better Pressure Distribution

Instead of concentrating pressure in one area, the footbed helped spread my weight more evenly across my entire foot.

That meant less strain on my forefoot throughout the day.

3. I Actually Wanted To Wear Them

This sounds silly, but it's important.

The best insole in the world won't help if it sits in your closet.

Fulton was the only pair I consistently moved from shoe to shoe because they simply felt good.
