Sof Sole Men's 3/4 Length Orthotic Arch Support Shoe Insole, Men's Size 11-12.5

When I was in the military, running was the one part of PT that I hated because I could never find shoes with adequate enough support to make running comfortable. I endured it for some time but finally had enough and found these arch supports. I bought a pair at a now defunct sporting goods store and had used them for years. Fast forward to now, the old set had worn out and I order two pairs of these newer models. It turns any shoe into a comfortable walking shoe for me. No need to get expensive inserts, just slide these under your insoles and tie your shoes. Keeps my foot in a natural and steady motion and provides the right amount of support for my flat arches. Definitely worth the purchase.

My foot doctor suggested these for me. Said I was over pronating. I just wanted to know why my foot was sore on the fore front bottom and thought it was a callous forming. I bought them for thirty dollars. The exact same ones. They are great. No more pain! I walk a lot in the summer. I appreciate that these soles have made it possible to increase my walking. Last winter didn't do my figure any good. These fit in my walking shoes under the pad that is already there and do not make the shoes too tight. (That's what the doctor suggested.). I added these to my gym shoes the other day and walked about a mile with no discomfort the first time wearing them. I have had another pair in my walking shoes and walked all over the downtown area all day and pure comfort. They also say they help with Plantar Fascitis. I am glad that I found them cheaper on Amazon. I love Amazon for the helpful reviews and for the fact that they have EVERYTHING.

My heritage-style leather boots (Red Wing Iron Rangers) were just a tiny bit too loose in the instep for me, and I tried number of 3/4 length insoles to fix that issue, some fit better than others, but usual issue is that there is too much of the insole for the available gap, and boots were becoming too tight.Those insole are the thinnest from all I have tried. Also, they are most true to size, and are not too wide (I am looking at you, Birkenstock insoles!!!). Added slight arch support is also welcomed, and heel cup feels just right (it is deeper than heel cup on comparable Tacco/Pedag insoles).All in all, they made my boots fit just right, and boots are much more comfortable.Do not expect a lot of arch support from them, or a lot of padding added - those are NOT that kind of insoles.

Great sturdy product...4 stars. However the last pair I had lasted forever 7-8 years. The new one hurts my feet. I feel this could be for a number of reasons, some being: changes in MY feet, changes in my running gait, the old pair changed over the years to conform, therefore felt better...But all doubts aside the fit isn't a generalized one which this type of product MUST be catering to. In other words it didn't work out of the box. So beware it might not fit your needs.

A little pricey. These are nice for dress shoes being black and inconspicuous. They provide the needed support. The arch can be adjusted higher by using a hair dryer to heat up the plastic and carefully bend higher.If wanting to use them in a sandal, I attach a small piece of commercial Velcro at the heel. Works great!

Absolutely the best insoles I can find... and I have been looking for 15 years. This is not the clunky podiatrist insoles that prevent you from wearing dress shoes or gym sneakers.This is the real deal which allows you to wear your normal foot wear. If you have extreme foot pain (like I did), allow 2-3 weeks for the magic to take place. You start waking up in themorning and you're shocked that your feet don't hurt. Then you start realizing that you can go for hours on your feet without needing a chair or a 5 minute break. When your feet hurt,everything in your body hurts. This orthotic insole have given me my freedom back.

These have a hard plastic bottom. They don't flex at all. Maybe down the road I can use them so in the drawer they go. Looking for something to support my arch after foot surgery. This is not it for the moment. Never saw an orthotic quite like this with a solid hard bottom before. So just beware.

These inserts are better than any rubber or full length foam insert. They make a cheap shoe with no Arch support better than an expensive pair. I have a former patent in footwear fitting. I try inserts out of curiosity. I never stopped using these.
