Makes a world of difference! Must try and see for yourself! Oct 07, 2005 By E. Ham
Based on my experience with this product during past 18 months, I recommend this product to everybody, including my colleagues at work. This is a great product and makes my shoes and boots much more comfortable. It's really easy to use, and you WILL feel the difference right away.

I'm in the Army and I run about 15~20 miles a week. My normal run is minimum of 3 miles and goes up to 10 miles. I run different routes everyday of the week and some are on paved streets and some are on dirt trails. My running shoes are Asics GT-2090 and 2100. I have normal arches and never had a foot problem until about 4 years ago when I first had plantar fasciitis and pain at the bottom of my heel. At that time, I had to stop running for 3 ~ 4 months and get a custom made footbed/sole for my combat boots from a doctor. But I hesitated running longer distance since then, until I found this product early 2004. Before that, I've tried probably at least 10 different types from Dr. Scholes products to gel pads, etc.

This product forms to the shape of your feet. So, I use this exclusively, for my combat boots, my running shoes, and my hiking boots. Earlier this year, I consulted Army podiatrist and she basically told me that this is probably the best one I can use short of getting more custom made soles from the hospital. But compared to the custom made soles I had, I find this product more comfortable. It provides a very good support.

This is really easy to use. You simply have to heat it up in an oven to make it malleable, take it out and slip it in your shoes and stand on it with your weight evenly distributed for a couple of minutes. It's much faster than trying to go see a podiatrist and waiting and getting custom made soles.

Bottom line is that even though this costs about half as much as my running shoes, this is well worth it. Definitely recommended.

Close to orthotic grade May 24, 2008 By ZoomDoc
I am a physician during the day and an avid basketball player at night. I never use the stock insoles that come with my nike basketball shoes. They just won't cut it. The Sole inserts are the best non-prescription orthotic grade insoles your can buy over the counter (internet). These will mold to your feet after heating them in the oven for a few minutes. The arch supports and padding are fantastic. They add to your balance and help to align your back and prevent foot injuries. I have at least 10 pair of these and I love 'em. They are the best.

Can't live without Aug 11, 2009 By R. Meyer "manic mincer"
I can't live without these. Honestly, cannot live without them. They are great for my high arches. They are the only insert I've tried (and I've tried probably 5-10 different types) that actually gives sufficient arch support and really molds perfectly to my feet.

I've had my footbeds for 3 years and they are still holding up great. You can also take them in and out easily to put them in different shoes.

However, these are recommended for sneakers or tennis shoes; they don't fit in tighter shoes. For example, they don't fit into my Converse one-stars (low or hightop) but they fit fine in my Saucony Jazzes.

My feet feel great. Jan 20, 2009 By J. Vannoy
I bought these footbeds to put in my ski boots because I was getting some pressure on the inside of my feet and it was causing pain around the arches of my feet. I looked into custom footbeds and the cost was around $200. The SOLE foodbeds are the best thing for the money. My feet no longer hurt in my boots and I have tested them several time this season. I would definitely recommend this product.

Perfect Medium Jan 12, 2009 By M. Bridgeforth "Basketball Player"
Before finding this product I tried one pair that I paid $19.95 at the nearest Footlocker and I got what I paid for. The second pair I went to a specialist that gave me some over the counter New Balance inserts that I paid triple the price at $59.95 and didn't do it either, After 2 months of suffering I found theses for $39.95 and my feet have never felt better. I'm an avid Basketball player and I haven't had pain on the court since.
