All throughout my most recent pregnancy, I dealt with really awful back and hip pain. While I was pregnant, I attributed the pain to the extra weight and also to my joints loosening up and preparing for birth. I am also a bare-footed gal who HATES socks and shoes. When I am home, I am usually barefoot and when I go out, I typically wear flip flops or sandals. I think I just feel too restricted in socks. Anyway, my hip pain did not go away after Isaac was born. When I would walk him around the house late at night, my hip would be screaming at me...almost to the point where I didn't think I could walk anymore. Our family loves to go for long summer evening walks as well and I was beginning to think that those would have to end due to my pain. Well, recently I have discovered a new product from Dr. Scholl's that has really enabled me to walk with less pain, and I am going to share it with you all today!
I am sure many of you have heard of Dr. Scholl's. They are a very well-known and reputable company that specializes in providing products to help us care for and maintain our feet. If any part of our body needs extra attention and care, it would be our feet! Here is a bit more about Dr. Scholl's and the man behind the name...


Whenever I am in the foot care aisle of the grocery store, I am automatically drawn to Dr. Scholl's products. I KNOW that they are a good name and that their products are high-quality. When I have issues with my feet whether it be medical or cosmetic, Dr. Scholl's is one of my top brands that I utilize for solving my problems.
So, for this review I was sent a set of Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles. I was really excited about these because of my back and hip pain and was curious to see if they would relieve my pain at all.

The first thing I did was read the package. I loved how easy the directions were to understand. I would have just put the insoles in my shoes without doing anything to my shoes first...which would not have worked out. These insoles can be cut to fit your shoe size, which is fantastic.
I then had to remove my old insoles from my sneakers. I didn't know they were removable and would not have removed them if I hadn't read that I needed to do it! All that was left to do was to insert the gel insole. These went in super quick and easy as well.
The gel part of the insole goes on the underside...so you won't see all the gel lines when they are properly inserted.

When my Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles were in my shoes, our family went for a long walk. I could immediately tell the difference in the shock absorption. It literally felt like I was walking on pillows. Not long into our walk, I noticed my hip pain begin to subside and by the time we had finished our walk, I had NO PAIN at all. WOW.

I think it would be safe to say that I am a believer in these insoles now!! They are FANTASTIC and I would really recommend them to anyone...whether you have back issues or not. Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles can be found at CVS and also at Drugstore.com for about $15.00.
