SuperfeetAll-Purpose Support Low Arch Insoles (Black) - Trim-to-Fit Orthotic Shoe Inserts for Thin, Tight Shoes - Professional Grade - 11.5-13 Men / 12.5-14 Women

I've been purchasing custom $500 orthotics for years for my very flat feet. Without my orthotics I have severe ankle pain after walking for hours. I decided to give these a try since I wanted a more affordable solution. I put them in my sneakers and walked around in them all weekend, 12K steps per day. My feet felt fine and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between these and my custom pair. If anything, I like these better since the heel is a bit more narrow and fit into my shoes better. A lot of times my custom orthotics added more bulk to the inside of my shoes and I'd have to size my shoes up half a size. I will be buying more for all of my sneakers.

Have been using these for a while and they definitely help with support!

These insoles are amazing! I have been suffering for several months with severe plantar fasciitis iin my left foot. I have moderate pronation in that foot & have also had surgery in the past to remove a neuroma in that foot. I have tried new shoes, exercises, cold therapy, night splints, compression socks, etc. with very little relief of the pain. I am unable to take anti-inflammatory medications or steroids due to severe side effects. I placed these into my shoes and my pain was significantly better almost immediately. I was completely pain free after 3 hours of walking with these in my shoes. I cannot believe that this insole had such an impact on my pain! My pronation is completely corrected. The arch support feels great & it is in the correct place for my feet. Usually most arch supports are too far forward for my feet. They feel wonderful to my feet. I also purchased the copper which is basically the same insole with memory foam on top. I use it in my roomier shoes as it is thicker. This insole is thin enough that it fits into all my shoes as long as I remove the original factory insoles. These have been a life changer for me. I can now wear all of my shoes even the ones without good arch support as long as I have these in the shoes................UPDATE...........I have been wearing these insoles in all my shoes for 3 weeks. My foot pain has totally resolved. I was in tears when I walked prior to using these insoles. They have changed my life! Sounds a little dramatic, but it is true. I also purchased the copper Superfeet which has a memory foam top. It is very comfortable, but they are not thin enough to fit into all of my shoes. The black insoles fit into any of my shoes (after you remove the original insole). Most of my shoes are Easy Spirit which have removable insoles (a great feature). I had to rip the insoles out of all my Skechers shoes. My Skechers had comfortable memory foam insoles, but absolutely no arch support whatsoever! Probably why I started having foot pain in the first place! I purchased another pair of the black Superfeet so I would have some insoles for my yard work sneakers.

Superfeet are constructed of a hard plastic shell in their back portion that is covered on top by a cloth-covered foam pad of varying degrees of thickness. I have tried three (Black, Blue and Green) so far and found all three wound up being perfect in a different kind of shoe. Since they are rather pricey I thought I'd detail my experience and with any luck it'll help you decide which version you should start with.I have been buying gel insoles for years and have always been a big fan of that luxurious cushion. However I am spending more and more of my time in outdoor activities and, having high arches, I know whats in store for me if I don't address arch support. Gel insoles do not do this well. Superfeet are NOT cushy thick gel insoles. You won't get that kind of short term comfort but you will get the long term benefits of arch support. If transitioning from gel insoles... don't freak out and give these a chance before you run in the other direction. They're comfortable, but in a different way.My experience has been that the effectiveness of a pair of Superfeet varies depending on the shoe you are working with. I wear 10.5 D shoes and weigh 245 lbs. The E size works without any trimming in all of my shoes. I just slip them in.I originally added a pair of green Superfeet (high arch, thick-for-Superfeet cushion) to my Lowa Zephyr 8" boots to replace the thin-but-reasonably effective insole that came with that boot. After two full days I decided Green was too much arch for me, and the cushioning, while nice, was just a hair too much for my feet to have a roomy fit in the toe box. I moved the Green soles to a pair of Bass casual lace-up shoes that my feet sit pretty deep into. The Green soles were perfect there. They have stayed in those shoes, which I often wear all day. The arch support has broken in a little, being a bit over the top for the first day but not noticeable after Day 2. After this break-in I tried moving them back to the Lowas and no dice. Still not right for them.The Lowas had some arch support built into their structure already so the Green added too much. To try again I went in the other direction and purchased a set of Black Superfeet in E (low arch, almost no cushion) and plugged them in. This time, they fit perfectly in the boot and provided a very modest amount of arch support. In fact, in those boots I was basically doing only a little better than the factory insoles. The point of the exercise was to improve support, so I tried the Blacks in a few other shoes and they were the perfect addition to my more or less flatfooted leather dress loafers.My third and last pair (so far) was a set of Blue Superfeet (medium arch, medium cushion), again in E. I plugged these first into some tennis shoes and - very comfortable. The arch this time nicely hugged my feet and gave good support. Put them into the boots and that finally squared them away. Nice and snug against my arch without feeling like I have a baseball stuffed in my shoe.
