Since 2005 - and going
No joke have been using this brand and type of insole since I was 15 years old (now 34). I have flatter feet which causes them to widen so having these helps my foot, ankle, knee and hip pain.First started using them when I was in marching band and experienced horrendous foot pain. My doctor recommended an overhaul of my footwear. Got Brooks tennis shoes and these insoles and the pain subsided. Since then, I've worn them on and off for a few different reasons (not marching anymore but definitely needed them when I was pregnant :)). I've worn them in converse and vans and while I should probably forgo those shoes, having the insoles helps immensely.Tips and tricks: do not trace your insole of your shoe but rather do a solid outline of your foot. I have found that doing this will help be able to move them from shoe to shoe. I don't have tons of pairs orf shoes that I wear that require this, and simply put, cannot afford to have multiple pairs of these insoles, so I move them from shoe to shoe.This is not a soft insole and that suprised me the first time, but you get used to them because they provide comfort and ease for the rest of your legs. Post pregnancy, I have some lingering hip and back pain and when I don't have the insoles it does feel worse. Do these solve all of those problems? No but it certainly helps to have them to take the edge of those aches.Everyday use will shorten their lifespan, but that just goes with insole use. For heavy use, let's say, you spend a lot of time on your feet at work, I worked in food and I had to buy a new set nearly every six months, then you'll have to keep up with them. I have an office job now and I think I can make it about a year and some change.I cannot recommend these enough.

quality and durability
my physical therapist prescribed these insoles for me and i welcome the comfort they are providing. having a professional choose shoes and insoles for me takes the guesswork out of my shopping, and saves me money in the long run. this is an excellent product.

Great Insert! Easy to Trim!
Wide enough to fit into my 11.5 wide shoes. Easy to trim. Very comfortable and supportive!

Great for high arches!
Been using these in both athletic and casual shoes for years. They've been great to support my high arches, tight calves, and plantar fasciitis. They do have a break-in period, so give them some time before you use them in actual practice: they will feel very odd and firm at first, but will eventually mold to your specific anatomy.Note: these are for *HIGH ARCHES*. If you have flat feet, these will not work for you! Try the Superfeet black/low arch model instead, as those are specifically made for low arches. If you try these with flat feet you are going to be in a lot of pain.

Loved these for years
A podiatrist recommended these to help with my plantar fasciitis several years ago. I have used them since then.This time, I accidentally got the wrong size - way too big, so I gave them to my boyfriend, who is amazed at how comfortable they are.It may be necessary to pull the insoles out of your shoes before using these, or they won’t fit right. I have very high arches, and these work well as arch supports for my feet.It’s best to replace them every 6-12 mo, as they can eventually break down. I will re-order them for myself in the correct size.

Too Wide
Not a major complaint on the manufacturer, but these insoles were so wide, I couldn't get them in my shoe. Too wide to trim. The back half isn't trimable as it's thick going into the arch. Maybe the labeling and description could indicate how wide, like 'E', Double E, Triple E, etc. I did order a regular blue pair and am waiting for them to arrive.

Rugged and long lasting
These insoles outlast the Powerstep insoles by many months. They aren't as cushioned as the Powersteps but the do infact last almost a year whereas the powerstep insoles last only 4-5 months. Quality foam and very rugged.

For flat or wide footed runners, these are absolute WORST insoles, blisters and knee pain from the start!
I normally wear size 12-13 M, I'm 5'10"/165 lbs and run about 10 miles a week (3 miles a run). My feet are pretty wide because they have no arch, about 4" at the widest point. I wear Asics "cushion" type or high arch shoes (Cumulus in 2E or 4E width) for running. I've found that motion control shoes actually make flat footed gaits worse, so this setup works for me.I've tried probably 10 different types of insoles over the 15 years of running and I thought I would give these Superfeet Greens a try after a friend recommended them. I haven't tried other Superfeet products either. The concept looked promising and a lot of marketing mumbo jumbo made the insole sound like THE insole to end all insoles.I cut them to match my stock insoles and walked around my house for a day to break them in before trying them out for a run (they seemed pretty stiff). They felt fine at the time, but boy, when they were put into action, it was torture. I'm not a nitpick person, but EVERYTHING was wrong with these insoles. Maybe these insoles work for walkers or standing but they are not running insoles at all.First off, the arches are ridiculously stiff, the only part that flexes is the toe box. From there, it tapers off sharply after the ball of the foot to a plastic cradle with 5 little flaps/toes(?) and cups the arch and heel. Weird. I don't think the "toes" could help with anything. I could feel this hard, inflexible, and cumbersome plastic piece with every stride. It literally felt like I put my phone in my shoe. The cushion from my actual shoe seemed totally negated by this plastic "support". I just don't know how such a hard piece of material mixed with muscles, bone, and gravity seemed like a good idea. Heck, it probably got a patent.On top of the plastic piece is single piece of unforgiving foam covering the whole insole length. This foam seems like the hardest foam on the planet. Maybe the hardness is good for durability but it just seemed overall way too hard for running.The "anti-bacterial" surface material has this weird and rough texture that I've never before seen in an insole. Its almost like a jacquard or luggage grade nylon. The weaving has a really rough pattern that you can feel with your toes. Usually, an insole has a smoother surface with a softer fabric choice. This rough surface material mated to an ultra-stiff foam bed = no grip. I wear Asics running socks, so they help anatomically to where the most grip should be applied (the toes and ball of the foot). But even with the socks, my foot was sliding all around, every time I lifted off and landed. I had blisters from the friction on my toes after 1 mile. Maybe Superfeet calls it "anti-bacterial" because your foot will not stick to it!Lastly, the arch support is a joke. Sure, its kinda there, but I after the first run I had use a file and shave a lot of it down because the edges were so sharp, they were cutting and rubbing into my foot. People shouldn't have to do that. But at that point, I was pretty much done with these insoles and didn't want to give them another try, I just didn't have it in me.What did work for me is using the stock insoles from my Asics (which are actually pretty nice for what they are AND they are made 100% for the shoe, no modifying with scissors and wood files) with "Pedag 165 Balance Leather, Self Adhesive Arch Support, Flatfoot Wedge" underneath the insole. These wedges are also 1/4 the cost of Superfeet insoles or any other comparable insole. They have worked wonders, I run pain free and no longer feel like something was stuffed into my shoe.I found that fancy insoles never really fix problems simply because every foot is different and even if they do help, they will probably introduce new problems (unless you get $$$ custom orthotics). The shoe is equally important, try a lot of shoes and stick with what works for you. I've found that the foot need to be anatomically correct first (which the wedges did for me), have a correct gait cycle, and that will resolve most pain issues before they start.

Worth the money
I've never been able to talk myself into spending more than about $20 on insoles, but finally got persuaded into buying superfeet by a family member who swears by them. I've already had several 10+ hour days on my feet in my work boots with them installed and couldn't be happier. So far these are the only insoles where my feet are comfortable, arch is well supported, and I have zero foot pain or foot fatigue after a long day in rigid work boots. Worth the money - you definitely do pay a bit more for these than other brands, but they seem worth it.

Semelle ajustable
J'ai des pieds extrêmement larges, avec ce type de semelle je peux les adapter à la largeur et à la taille de mes pieds. Avec ce type de semelle qui est assez rigide, cela me permet d'avoir un pied bien à plat, la semelle est suffisamment souple pour faire un bon développé du pied en marchant.

So good
These soles are the best I have tried, and I have tried many. These provide the support needed without being uncomfortable.
