SOLE Active Thin Plantar Fasciitis Insoles, Men & Women - Arch Support Inserts for Foot Health and Heel Pain Relief, Orthotic Shoe Inserts - Multiple Sizes

These are my favorite insoles. I've used them for years. They are supportive but not too hard and they have different cushioning thicknesses depending on the shoe type. I use these in sneakers and the thick cushioned ones in hiking boots. For my foot's long arch I have to buy a few sizes bigger than my shoe size, and then cut them down. For my first pair, I tried the oven option to mold them. But for subsequent pairs I found that just putting them right into my shoe was good enough and it would mold to my feet over time.I would recommend trying these in a local store first if you have that option. Many running stores and a certain outdoor store chain usually have them with trial stations set up for you to find your fit. Buying your shoe size might not give you the arch support you need, but you won't know that until you try them out. They are built in a way that they are meant to be cut down to fit your shoe.

These are pretty nice insoles. The metatarsal pad is comfortable and in the correct place. I didn’t think they were quite as comfortable as the ones made out of cork. They also don’t have the same foot bed and don’t mold very well to your foot or at least in the same way. I highly prefer the cork ones. The companies is incredibly good when I got in touch with them. Highly recommend their products. The ones I initially got had been molded and returned but Amazon to the rescue.

I've used superfeet for years to fix my foot pronation, and these are better. These are very thin so they take up less volume in the shoes. Haven't re-shaped them with heat but I will gently add arch height if necessary, if knee pain returns. Fit is true to size.

I got to try my new pair out this last weekend. I got the thins for my ski boots. I did NOT put them in an oven or anything like that, I just used them. Here is my take:I was very impressed with the overall comfort. I was very happy with the level of arch support, as skiing is tough on the feet.I basically will recommend them for people looking to support their arches, but I would not suggest them for adding any cushion, they really don't. I will try them with the original insoles next time, since I think that will help with shock absorption.I do recommend them over not using anything. The first few times I wore my boots, my feet hurt quite a lot. I think not having an arch support while cranking down on the boot bindings is stressful, so these help to counter that. I will definitely keep them and will use them a lot.

I love these insole. I have to wear insoles in all my shoes, boots, sandals, and slippers. I have very high arches and plantar fasciitis. These ones are nice because they are thin and don’t stand out with a bright color on the soul when wearing sandals.

Ive been a superfeet customer for years, but decided to try sole brand insoles. Having thru-hiked the continental divide trail, the appalachian trail… and many others. Not to mention walking approximately ten to fifteen miles per day on the streets etc… to try and stay in shape.. ive tried every size, shape, thickness level of insoles known to humanity. The Sole brand had something the superfeet did not have.. and that was “thickness” level. Such as thin, medium, and thick insoles. Each with more foam to supposedly provide comfort for your feet. And this was brilliant… or so i thought. Given that superfeet brand seem to be carbon fiber.. hard as a rock. However, things didn’t work out this way.The good… the Sole brand inserts, having different thicknesses, provided support in shoes which i normally would not have used supportive insoles within, such as tighter Arcteryx shoes. And.. they work better than superfeet in shoes requiring more flex such as sneakers etc.. And… if your a nurse, doctor, law enforcement officer etc.. another words a person who stands still more often than walking. Than the Sole brand with the cushioning is better.The Bad… However, is that you dont need cushioning. If you own a supposedly stiff brand such as the superfeet? They hold your foot ready, and steady. Your FOOT does not go up and down banging agains the insole. It is held firmly, like Birkenstock shoes (against the foot), not only providing support, but assuring you walk exactly the same way with each step. The sole brand insert does not provide this. Yes… it has arch support… but your foot moves and flexes around more. Which means, if you’ve got foot issues… your still going to have them with this brand. Problem two.. your feet sweet like crazy wearing these. They get wet with sweat, which absorbs into the insole making them smell, and your feet to remain ridiculously warm the entire time. Unlike the superfeet brand, which doesn’t absorb odor, or wetness… and keep your feet cooler. And you can wipe them off afterwards. You cant do this with Sole inserts.The two worse bad things about Sole brand? They push you on the “cork” versions which are supposedly better for the environment right? But heres how they are actually worse… the Cork versions? They fall apart when they get wet. Which they DO… wether you wear them in streams or rain, because your sweat absorbs into the insole. And this means, instead of the insole lasting for years like the superfeet insole , your always having to replace them. So which is really better for the environment? Also, They squeak like crazy.. I mean don’t expect to wear them to work… forget about it.. and the final bad thing? I don’t know about the rest of you… but i wear Darn tough socks and similar because i put serious miles on my feet and want the best for them. However, the Sole brand inserts wear through my socks in a single week! They rub your foot because, unlike the superfeet insoles which hold your foot consistent with each step, there is more movement of the foot. Proof of this is they blow right through wools socks like crazy. I normally get a years use out of a darn tough sock before sending them in for free lifetime replacement right? I tried an experiment the other day, and put a brand new pair of socks on my feet, put the SOLE brand insert in my shoes and walked seven miles. They wore through my socks on that seven miles. One walk!!!! I Pulled the three pairs of Sole inserts ( i have a thin, medium, and thick set of inserts; having tried each type), out of my shoes. I will never use them again.And by the way… my knees are killing me for the first time in years, because, as i said, unlike the superfeet inserts which allow me to walk perfectly the same with each step (like orthotics should), the SOLE brand inserts are like going back to using whatever junk comes in your shoe when you bought them. Just the knee problems alone, as if they are not orthotically useful at all, except for the fact that they have painful arch support (even after heating them). They are not good for me. If you bought them… good luck.

I don't use these for everyday shoes or even backpacking boots but I've used these insoles on all my mountaineering boots over the last 12 years. They made a HUGE difference in how comfortable my first pair of boots were so I've stuck with them ever since. I just bought these for a new pair of ski boots and figured I'd try them in those and they have made a nice difference. I heat molded the ones for all my other boots but didn't make the time to do it on these before using them and they are fine. Heat molding is super easy though so I may take them out and do that soon. I like that these are one piece and don't have a separate heel plate attached like Superfeet as well.
