SuperfeetAll-Purpose Support High Arch Insoles (Green) - Trim-To-Fit Orthotic Shoe Inserts - Professional Grade - Men 11.5-13 / Women 12.5-14

It finally happened, my heel and lateral ligament in my left foot became borderline unbearable... I found myself sitting down on the job to rub my foot. I was scrambling for options to relieve the pain in my feet, especially the left foot. I started a new job where I'm on my feet a lot more than usual, I'm also an avid gym goer. I was worried I may have done some irreparable damage to it.I bought some cheaper insoles, the reviews were good, and I was convinced. Lo and behold they did not do anything to remedy the pain I was experiencing. I was super apprehensive spending this kind of money on insoles when I had so much bad luck with the other ones I've purchased.I'm super happy I made the jump... right off the bat you may not notice a difference but once you stick with them for day two, day three, you will feel relief and comfort. These saved my feet, I now have to eventually purchase a set for all pairs of shoes!

There's a lot of types of insoles out there these days but 20ish years ago there weren't many to choose from. I read about these giving more stability when hiking so I tried them out and learned to love them after that initial acclimation period which took a few hours. I noticed my feet felt better after a long day hike and really felt the difference when I put on shoes without the insole. With these green Superfeet, you remove the removable cheaper ones that come with your shoes. They, seemingly, last forever as I'm still using my first pair(s). My son works standing up for hours with his job and was complaining about foot pain for a couple week so I suggested that he try the Superfeet. After a couple days of wearing them on the job his feet got better and seems to be completely rid of the pain after about two weeks as he hasn't mentioned anything since. I wanted my pair back so I bought him a couple to go in different shoes.

I have been wearing Superfeet Green insoles now for nearly a decade. I have tried other brands, and even other models of Superfeet insoles (blue, berry, copper, and orange), but none of them have worked as well. At least in my experience, the build and quality of these insoles have remained the same every time I have replaced them.I tried these for the first time about 10 years ago when I developed a serious case of plantar fasciitis. It was bad. My job at the time required a lot of walking and my feet just couldn't handle it. Someone recommended that I try Superfeet, and at first I had no idea which of the insoles they make would be best for me. I have very low arches that are borderline flat, so naturally I first tried insoles for my actual foot type. They were ok but didn't really make a difference with my pain. So I decided to try the Green even though it was advertised for high arches. THAT is when I discovered my soul mate was a shoe insole.Everyone is different but let me tell you what to more or less expect if you've never used these before. These are not your typical cushiony, pillowy insoles that make you feel like you're walking on air. These are solid, and the foam is very dense and firm. I can see why this may put some people off; after all, at first feel they seem like they'll only make foot pain WORSE, not better. And truth be told, they DO hurt if you're not used to them. Seems counterintuitive, right?It's important to be aware that this initial discomfort is NORMAL and very common amongst first time users. In the beginning you may feel frustrated for having spent this much on insoles that seem to make the pain worse. But trust me, you NEED to give them time to break in. Your feet are likely not accustomed to this level of support, and yet that's exactly what those feet need. Especially if you have flat feet or low arches. These insoles force your feet into a more arched position which at first feels completely unnatural. But flat and low arches can bring on issues like knee and hip pain from taking on more weight that is more evenly distributed by those with normal arches.So yes, they are uncomfortable at first. You need to ease into them at your own pace. Wear them for an hour a day, then two hours, and so forth, and eventually the pain will not only go away, but you'll be amazed at what a huge difference they make. I use them in my everyday walking shoes as well as my running and trail shoes. No matter what the activity is, these insoles allow me to do it pain free.There are a few things to be aware of though that can't really be changed. Because they are so firm and don't really have any "give" when weight is applied, it COULD potentially change the way your shoe fits. These fit nicely into my medium width shoes as well as my wide fit shoes, but the fit is snug. It also will raise your heel somewhat. I've never found them to raise it so high that the shoe is unwearable though, and my feet still feel secure in the shoe. In fact, this slight heel raise has actually helped me wear shoes I couldn't before because of heel rubbing. These lift my heels just enough so that I no longer have that issue.The one thing I don't like is that these insoles can potentially change the performance of the shoe. For example, I have a great pair of running shoes that have a "springy" heel which feels really great when I do speed runs. But the springy-ness is noticeably dulled when using these insoles. Superfeet make a different insole that is specifically designed for runners, but nothing has been as good as the Green for pain relief and support. And ultimately that's more important to me.Hopefully this information helps you in your insole search quest. Remember, have patience, break them in and don't give up on them the first day. Your aching feet will thank you later and you'll wonder how you survived all this time without them.

Love these high arch supports that really jerk into shape the rather inexpensive Chinese sneakers I’ve been buying lately especially the “slip on “ type.

As someone who has high arches and a high instep, I was needing more support in my shoes than the insoles that come in my shoes could provide. I pronate when I walk, and as a result of high arch/high instep/ pronating, I had developed plantar fasciitis. My physical therapist had recommended these shoe inserts to give me additional support in my shoes. I have a couple of pairs, one set for my saucony shoes that I use for my daily walks, and one set for my dansko boots. They give my foot the support I need, and my first pair has lasted many years, so I personally feel the cost of these are worth it as they are high quality, made to last!

My podiatrist recommended these inserts. I was skeptical about them making much difference. But, they truly have. And, weren't hard to get used to. Also, I just slipped out the insole portion of my shoe and they slipped right in.

I wanted to try out a different brand for the shoe inserts than what I’ve been using for many years. This product definitely provides a great arch support and is comfortable to be in for prolonged period of time. You can trim it however you want to fit to the shoes you wear.My only and the biggest complaint is that the bottom of the insert is slippery and tiny rubber pads it has does not keep the insert in place. It might not be an issue if you are putting it into sneakers, boots, or any fully closed shoes, but I needed it for my slip-on clogs. I never had this issue with other brands but with this, it slid around everywhere and would fall off the shoes when you walk around in it. I found myself constantly pausing and fixing my insert. It was way too annoying, after some months of occasional usages, I had to discard it as I just couldn’t use it.
