Superfeet Hike Support Insoles - Trim-to-Fit Comfort Carbon Fiber Orthotic Inserts for Hiking Boots or Shoes - Professional Grade - 11.5-13 Men / 12.5-14 Women

I HAVE BEEN FAR BETTER OFF AND MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND MOBILE SINCE I REPLACED MEDICALLY PRESCRIBED INSERTS/SUPPORTS WITH THE SUPERFEET TRAIL BLAZERS. THE PRESCRIPTION SUPPORTS COST(U.S.) $175 AND ULTIMATELY PROVED TO BE UNWEARABLE, AS IT WERE, FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. THEY RATHER HURT MY FEET, WERE IN GENERAL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE—WORSE, THEY COULD NOT BE RETURNED FOR A REFUND. THE “SUPERFEETS,” ONTHE OTHER HAND, HAVE PROVEN TO BE REMARKABLY COMFORTABLE AND EFFECTIVE IN RELIVING THE PAIN I WAS EXPERIENCING WHILE TRYING TO TAKE EXERCISE. THEY WERE EASILY TRIMMED WITH A SCISSORS TO MY CORRECT SHOE SIZE ANDWERE EASILY SLIPPED INTO PLACE (I DO RECOMMEND TRIMMING THE INSERTS JUST A LITTLE AT A TIME. IT IS EASY TO MISTAKENLY CUT THEM TOO SHORT). IT IS MUCH EASIER NOW TO STAY ON MY FEET, EITHER WALKING OR PERFORMING WORK ACTIVITY WHILE STANDING IN PLACE, FOR LONGER PERIODS THANWAS BEFORE POSSIBLE. I CANNOT GUARANTEE OTHER BUYERS THAT THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME POSITIVE RESULT THAT IHAVE HAD. IF NOT, I THINK THE SUPERFEET INSERTS COULD BE LEGITIMATELY RETURNED TOAMAZON BECAUSE “THEY DIDN’T WORK.” I AM ASSUMING THAT ONE WOULD BE A MEMBER OF AMAZON’S “PRIME” ARRANGEMENT—WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. SUPERFEET ARE, TO BE SURE, MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER BRANDS OF “OVER-THE-COUNTER” INSERTS. BUT, IN MY OPINION, THE QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS ARE THERE AND THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RENUMERATION WHATSOEVER FOR RECOMMENDING THIS PRODUCT.

This is the third pair of these insoles that I’ve purchased and I will continue to put them in my hiking shoes/boots.I banged up my toe a few years back and my podiatrist recommended this brand. Super comfortable and helps offer additional support.

I love these, having flat feet and a shorter leg after an accident, long walks can be a pain. I love the high arch and the support on these insoles, I just wish they had a model with even higher arches. I use them both in my walking and hiking shoes

I've tried several different inserts for heel pain. These have been the best with good, moderate arch support and heel cushioning.

On my feet all day at work I use these in my shoes they have plenty of quality cushioning they fit my shoes perfectly with a little trim helped with back pain and knees. Thicker than the factory insoles

these are awesome- I want a pair in every shoe or boot now!

I'll start with the positive, these insoles are very comfortable. I use them in a pair of Terrex trail shoes that I have and they relieved pain that I'd typically have after a long hike with a pack. With that said.... I only have around 50 miles on them and they are falling apart. On a recent backpacking trip the top layer started separating at the heel. Once that layer leaves the foam underneath exposed, it quickly breaks down. These were worn in a well-fitting pair of shoes, so this is not due to a sloppy fit. Based on my experience, they feel great, but I don’t expect them to last much longer. I think marketing these towards hikers is not realistic and I don't feel like they were a good investment for that purpose. Your mileage may vary.

Note: Seller reached out & offered me a full refund. I appreciate that Superfeet values customers over profit — will definitely give them another try. 5 stars for customer service, 1 star for performance, but that is specific to my feet & personal needs.Sadly these did not pan out for me. The narrow heel cup ends up jamming my foot forward and further crowding my toes in a way that is unnatural. No matter how many different pairs of boots I tried these in (more fitted, roomier, etc) it continued to be painful and uncomfortable. After one wear it sadly exacerbated my bunion pain and caused major knee and shin pain, which was the reason why I made the leap to invest in these. I was hopeful it was just a break in period…but there’s no way my body can handle that pain if that’s the case. Definitely recommend trying these out in a store if you’re able to — it’s a bummer to create more waste and lose $55 to something that is unwearable for my body and needs.
