These are the second pair of this insole I have bought, because there's no going back after you've tried these. The only reason I'm buying another pair is because my old ones are finally starting to wear out after a couple of years.
I recently started walking again as I'm in between jobs. After almost a year of a sedentary lifestyle, because of work at home job with hours ranging from 60-110 hours a week - I'm really out of shape. I started walking the dog out at the park, wearing my "hiking shoes" since they're all that I have currently for the dirt. Needless to say, I was miserable for the first week or two. Blisters on my feet and leg cramps beyond belief. My friend turned me on to these, I figured why not. I was skeptical at first since they fit multiple sizes - but it was fairly easy to insert them into my size 14 boots. The first day was somewhat uncomfortable since they had not "Gelled" to my feet or whatever term you want to use. They've worked wonders since though. The wear and tear on my feet have minimalized and I haven't gotten blisters. I feel they somewhat make me walk with a better posture as well which is a huge plus !!
I waited to review until my husband had them for a while. He works in the refineries and is on his feet all day long in steel toe boots. We are constantly buying insoles because his feet and back hurt. Since ordering these, he has stopped complaining of sciatic nerve pain, which is a big deal for him. These have lasted several months. We will be ordering more when they wear out. So thankful we found them!
These are quite comfy, and took me a tad bit to get used to, as the heels are raised over the whole foot platform. I'm also a tall person 6'2" - now it seems like I'm 6'3" ha! They do help with long periods of standing. I got a job a bit back where I was on my feet and active the whole shift, and hadn't been for quite a while, and at 270 pounds, I didn't expect my feet to hurt, but oh boy did they! Three hours into a shift my arches would cramp, and it was real agony to stay on my feet. These do seem to alleviate "some" of that, but they DO make any shoe/boot more comfortable...period.
Brought new boots and wanted some extra support and comfort, well I got it. I walk a lot, climb ladders, up and down. I’m inside a couple hundred square foot facility and I’m moving around. These are very comfortable, cushiony but, firm. They’re cut to fit, cut between two sizes for a half size easy, I’m glad I order them.
For the price these are great insoles. I'm a heavy man, about 280 pounds, and I put these in my work boots. I'm on my feet at work about 6 to 8 hours a day and before these insoles my feet would hurt after work. After these insoles they don't hurt, but still have some fatigue. I think the fatigue is just my weight and the amount of time I spend on my feet because no matter the shoe or insole my feet are tired after work.For the price, I'll be changing these up every 3 months or so to keep up the support.
I have several pairs of these and returned these bc I just decided I didn’t need another pair. These are good orthotics for being so cheap. The only thing I really hate about them is that they squeak so much! Like embarrassingly a lot, very loud. I have a physical job and they are comfortable even for heavy women not just men. You could hear every movement I was making though bc they are so loud!
I use these in my umpire shoes (both plate and base shoes). Some days, I'm on my feet all day and these are fantastic. I probably wait too long before replacing my insoles (about a full year) and when I first put these in I was walking on air. I have suffered plantar fasciitis in the past and these, with the plastic arch support, keep that from happening.
Excellent! I don't come close to the weight they show in their advert but these insoles provide really great support and have really helped the plantar fascitiis that was making my left foot more and more useless. If you need support and have high arches as I do you really should give these a try no matter what you weigh.
Bought these in hopes it would help my feet since im on them 13 hours a day. Afrer a week i noticed a HUGE difference. When i got home my feet felt great and stopped hurting almost all together.
This product provides good support and you can feel a great difference. I have flat feet and definitely improves the pain on being on your feet all day. The sole is pretty thick on its thickest part, about 1/2 inch so using this with a low sneaker or shoe makes it feel like your feet and not all the way in inside the shoe. I'm in the construction business so I use it with high boots and it works great for that purpose specially when you need long hours on your feet. After a while you'll forget it's there.
