SorbothaneDouble Strike Insoles

I use these insoles in my New Balance 890v4. These shoes have quite a bit of cushioning of themselves. Due to a sore hip I tried to make as less impact as possible when running.The run is very plush when using these in my 890's. Remove the insole provided with the shoes since these insoles are quite thick. Running in a straight line on a hard surface is ok although I noticed my ankles and the muscles around them had to adjust. Felt like a bit more strain on them. Having run for 60 km with them the ankles are used to the new insole and my hip problem isn't aggravating. Especially on a downhill section I notice the improved impact cushioning. Significantly better.The downside is that due to the thickness of the insoles and the high amount of cushioning in the 890's, you have to be careful on an uneven surface. When turning left or right while running I also notice less stability. Which is ok if you have strong ankles but if you need stability as well, you might want to go for less thick insoles.I have been using less thick insoles in the same shoes and now these. Less thick means more control and less cushioning. Running is a bit more enjoyable on the less thick insoles. But I have been going for the thicker insoles knowing it reduces strain on my body. And with an additional 60km on them, I am used to it.09-2015 Having ran on the insoles for a few months now I have to say I am not going back to running without them. I have been running an average of 30 miles a week and this is more than I ran before I used these insoles. My hip problem is not gone but hasn't gotten worse either. With the increase in running I would expect that due to previous experience. But these insoles combined with good cushioning shoes do seem to do the trick. Second pair I ordered a month ago and that says enough. Every new pair of 890's will be accompanied with a pair of these.Takes a bit of getting used to and not for trail running. But if your on the road and no slaloming.....this will work!

2 years in and needed new inners for my Brasher boots. Wanted Brasher but for some reason could not find my size??Really comfy. Trim to fit the boot.Only negative is twice the price of the Brasher ones??

Product was as described and comfortable, took pain away from heel.

I've been a keen runner now for 5 years and these are by far the best insoles I've tried. I wish I'd found out about them earlier. I'm a fairly heavy guy at 13 stone, I run on concrete and these really do help with shin splints or aching knees. I was so impressed with my first pair I bought another for my work shoes. I usually try to think of caveats for a review but these really are spot-on.

Comfortable, but they're very thick - if you intend to use them buy shoes a size up.

Partner wanted something to absorb the shock whilst bowling at cricket, these seem to do the job.

Just given them a real test - did the Yorkshire Three peaks (22 miles) and changed from Walking boots to my trail shoes with the Sorbothane inner soles at half way.No doubt that they helped - definitely worth considering.

I was recommended to purchase these exact insoles by my squash coach and I can honestly say that I didn't feel any different nor did I feel that it improved my movement around the squash court.There was some additional comfort when walking but they were a nuisance to get in to the shoes in the first place, and I'm not sure what the benefits are of these insoles compared to more affordable ones.They ended up being destroyed through natural use sooner than I'd expected and I can't justify paying for new insoles at this price every few months.
