Superfeet All-Purpose Support High Arch Insoles (Green) for Active Lifestyle with High Arch Support - Men 9.5-11 / Women 10.5-12

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.

Have bought these soles for me, my partner, my parents, and everyone. Gets rid of heel pain and plantar fasciitis issues in a few weeks of wearing.

These insoles are highly recommended by podiatrists for arch/alignment support and cushioning against impact, however they feel very rigid, so I was concerned that they would override the comfort and cushioning in my running shoes. My shoes are Hoka size 8m, and these insoles fit perfectly with no trimming needed. They did not reduce the cushioning of my shoes, and definitely helped correct overpronation. No more stressed out knees! Win-Win!

Fit well. Gave good support.

Check out my video showing how to install these. Before, you do anything put the insole on the ground and step on it making sure your heal is in the heel cup. The arch support should fall directly under your arch. In most cases it will. However, if you are on my high or low of the size you bought, the next size up or down may fit better. I was lucky. My daughter wears and 8 which fell kind of in the middle of 6.5 - 8.5. I was shocked that they did not require any cutting and fit perfectly inside of her size 8 Adidas adidas Performance Women's Energy Cloud Wtc W Running Shoe, Collegiate Purple/White/Ray Pink Fabric, 8 M US running shoe. They are designed for under pronators who need atabilty. Another good shoe is the Saucony Ride Saucony Women's Ride 6 Running Shoe . We got these inserts to combat shin splints from running at track practice. Unfortunately, we discovered after they have shin splint symptoms and no before hand which would have helped prevent them. Rest is an issue right now as she can lose valuable conditioning already gained. So these inserts combined with a good shoes and the use pf Penetrex Penetrex Pain Relief Medication [2 Oz] :: Patented Breakthrough for Arthritis, Back Pain, Tennis Elbow, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, Plantar Fasciitis, Carpal Tunnel, Sore Muscles, Joints & Chronic Aches will help. Last track season, we made it though by using Penetrex. It is a miracle in a jar. But you have to put it on 4 times a day and ice the injured area too.One of my daughters loved the feel of them as soon as they were in her shoe. The other complained that they felt weird and stiff. Most reviewers have stated that t takes a few days for your foot to adjust to the insert. I will update this review after a couple of weeks. Sorry to ramble on, hope this help you out! UPDATE: First time my wore them to track practice, she said that her shins didn't hurt as bad. So with running in these inserts, I am hoping the shin splints go away. I read one reviewer said that theirs went away after four days. But their are varying degrees of shin splints. So maybe theirs weren't as bad. I will continue to update this review.

Fits perfectly and feels great.

Some background. I am a 185lb 60yo male. I walk 6-7 miles every day before 7am, generally 75% on concrete and 25% on hard-packed dirt, gravel. My soles wear evenly, and I change walking shoes (Merrell) every 4 months. I have done this for 20 years and until January this year was walking 10 miles every morning, rain, shine, heat, cold, dark. Early this year I self-diagnosed as having plantir fasciitis. I stopped walking for 3 months, tried Dr Scholls insoles, compression socks, boot. Not much rapid improvement. Pretty uncomfortable walking, particularly the first 3-5 minutes. I even bought a pair of Kuru shoes to try. No lasting improvement beyond feeling more comfortable at first. Then I was recommended Superfeet insoles by a friend of my wife. Tried a pair for 3 weeks at home, all the hours I was awake, and noticed progressive improvement. Very pleased, even as a chronic skeptic. I have now resumed my regular morning walking, but cautiously limit myself to around 12.5k - 15k steps. I arrive home free of foot pain, and have now bought a pair of Superfeet for all my shoes rather than swapping the one pair in/out. Even after just 4 months resumed walking I cannot imagine not using Superfeet, even as a preventative. For my feet, my use, these do the trick. I used the Superfeet 'pencil test' and found I needed their High Arch insoles, not a surprise but the verification was useful. Every pair I have bought (7 now) are exactly the same. Good consistency. I buy Men's 9.5-11 size and they perfectly fit my US 10.5M sized shoes without any need for trimming. RECOMMENDED. If you think you might benefit you probably will. Expensive, but discounts are to be found through the year. ADENDUM: One of my shoes (a Merrell walking shoe) developed a squeak. I found that a little lubrication between the 4 nubs (see picture of product) and the floor of my shoe solved all the squeak-squeak-squeak. I use a very small dab of silicone grease, which I had handy. Soap, shampoo, etc would work just as well.

THIS IS IT GUYS… the holy Grail to those who suffer from plantar fasciitis? I’ve only had these for two days and my feet already feel so much better. I actually purchased these because AI on Google suggested it. It said I needed a firmer insole than the ones that came in my shoes and recommended these I was really skeptical, especially since they’re harder than the insoles I had but it’s really helping me. I feel so much better. I’ve had this problem for over six months and I have spent literally thousands of dollars on things that were supposed to make it go away and I’ve been doing a lot of things that work like scraping and supportive shoes and exercise. If you’re on the fence about these insoles, they really do work and I really do recommend them and so does AI.

I have used them for 10+ years and they reduce knee and ankle pain on long hikes. The green ones have good arch support. I now use in all my shoes including dress shoes for work - just wish they had a cheaper multipack.

Perfetto x le mie esigenze . Mi sa che le ricomprerò

I have a problem with my foot hurting from longer walks for a while. Physiotherapy and other insoles has not had desired effect. Could be that from using Superfeet Green insoles for months that my foot is feeling better after longer walks. Great stability, fit, comfort and helpful in aligning the foot the right way

These and the soles brand are both good durable insoles for people needing arch support. They are stiff enough to work well.
