Spenco Polysorb Walker/Runner Athletic Insole Women's 7-8.5/Men's 6-7.5

I own two pair of these. One pair for my work boots (12 hour factory shifts) and the other pair in my running shoes. These things really help eliminate the foot pain that comes from shock or from being on my feet for too long. They are a vast improvement over the old "green" walker/runner. This cradles my foot and gives me lots of support and cushioning. With a better platform to stand on I actually feel better overall. It's like an infusion of new life into my feet. (A very small but noticeable effect). I am over 50 so I need every bit of help I can get. My feet are also less tired and there is a minor reduction in knee pain. These things are thick. The heel is 7.5mm [0.30"] and the forefoot is 6.8mm [0.27"]. That is only a heel to toe drop of about 1mm, which I like. I think most people will have trouble getting a good fit in their shoes because it takes up so much space. I have no trouble with my work boots but my Asics are a tight fit and I have to wear thinner socks. My foot is fairly thin with a medium low arch. I also have a new pair of the Spenco Cross Trainer. The Cross Trainer has a very tall and narrow heel that makes the whole shoe unstable. Very easy to turn your ankle with that insert. (which I did) The heel is a full 13.21mm [1/2"] tall and the forefoot is 5.5mm [1/4"]. Too much heel to toe drop in the cross trainer for me. The Walker Runner is much more comfortable and stable to use. This is my tenth year using Spenco inserts and I like these the best by far. Oct. 2015 I am on my 3rd pair of these and I still love them. In my work boots their estimated life is about a year. They are so thick that they take up all the head room in the toe box of all my other shoes. So much so that I only use them for the work boots.

Better support than the standard insole in my tennis/pickleball shoes. I tend to get plantar fasciitis and these insoles provide a little more support that helps prevent the issue with my one heel. I found them to be very comfortable and work well despite using them in a wide shoe. While I think they are a little expensive, they work better than the competition so it is worth a few extra bucks.

These are super-comfortable. I put them in all my shoes except dress shoes. I've been using these for years and they generally last as long as my shoes staying very cushioning the whole time. I put them sneakers, walking shoes, dance sneakers and work shoes. I used to have trouble under the balls of my feet - sometimes bruising, calluses, and pain. These have cured that. The foam rubber is very thick and firm so my foot doesn't compress it all the way even if I jump. The type of foam they use doesn't flatten from use until they get pretty old. I write the date with a sharpie on the bottom so when they feel like they should be changed I look to see how long they lasted. I usually get 1.5 to 2.5 years out of them. The downside to them is that they are pretty thick and may not fit in every shoe. When I go to buy shoes, I put an insole inside in place of the original one to make sure I can use these in new shoes I'm considering. If not, I don't buy the shoe.

Owned thses for about 1 month now and here are my high points (and 1 low): Build: The arch support on these is noticeable, which suits me fine. It did take about 2 days to 'break in' but I contribute that to my feet getting used to actually having some comfortable support. CON: The top finish layer of these is made of a fairly coarse material. I have found that it actually wears down the cotton in my socks, especially at the ball of the foot. On several occasions, I removed them thinking there was a small pebble in my shoe but it always turns out to be small tight pieces of cotton from the socks. SIZING: I only had to trim the tips of these slightly to fit in a size 11. Overall: I do quite a bit of walking during the day (14k on the pedometer) and had problems with foot and leg pain at the end of the day. That has been reduced considerably since I've added these inserts. I would like to see them make the top layer a bit smoother.

Love the red Spence running insoles. I’m 6’3” and hovering around 250 lb. This saves my knees big time which saves doctor visits which are more expensive than $25. My shoes are size 14 used to get 13s but to tight around toes now. Size 13 insoles seem to work.

Nice insole but only for a high arch. I didn't see in the description or pictures that this is for a high arch. Bad description, be aware. Otherwise they are nice. I won't use them but found someone who will. If I hadn't I would have returned them.

Like another reviewer, I've had plantar fasciitis troubles. I've tried the Dr S machine inserts... not worth the $$. Tried another brand, too stiff. Couldn't stand them. (pun intended)I Really needed to find the right shoe inserts for arch support, as the foot problems were causing knee and lower back problems too. When you're out of alignment, everything is messed up. So in hope of finding some relief, I bought 3 different styles of these Spenco inserts, for less than the price of the Dr S ones. I haven't tried the gel ones yet, but this style are really nice. Not too hard, and yes, maybe a little on the wide side, but for me they fit in my NB shoes okay. I just loosened the laces up some, and they are fine. I also put the "Total Support" style in my hiking boots, and they were great off roading last weekend. Def. getting some relief for my sore knee, and back pain is gone. For the price, def. worth the investment. I'm sure I will be purchasing these in the future. Good arch support, and comfy. As one reviewer said, might not fit in dress shoes though. They do run a bit wide, and not sure if trimming them on the sides would work.

I walk at least 5 miles every morning. Even various $200+ running/walking shoes I tried (New Balance, Merrell, etc.) did not provide enough arch support, so on a recommendation from my podiatrist, I tried these. Couldn't be happier. First, I wear 11.5 and these come in exactly that size, so no cutting to fit - they fit perfect out of the box. Second, they feel like they were made for my main shoes (New Balance 990s). BTW, why don't New Balance and other shoe manufacturers use this high of quality insoles out-of-the-box? Shouldn't have to pay extra for food insoles on a pair of $200 shoes, but I guess that's an issue for another review. Bottom line, if you walk a lot of miles, these are great for support and comfort.

Most people spend big on good footwear to fix aching feet and joints that their old 'cheap' shoes didn't. In the majority of cases, there is a marginal improvement. Surprisingly these more expensive shoes come with cheap wafer thin foam insoles that do nothing to absorb the weight bearing impact of day to day activities. Hence the aching feet. This is where I have found these insoles make a huge difference and I have introduced them to my own family and friends with good results. They are well made, don't come apart at the seams and are long lasting. Good for simply walking shoes or sporting runningware.

I've been a fan of these insoles for a long time and was sad when Footlocker stopped selling them. These changed the game for me when I was working retail in a shop with a concrete floor. After a shift my knees and hips would be killing me. Then an older construction worker told me they were the best he's ever used and he'd tried them all. I gave them a shot and knee and hip pain was gone. I couldn't believe it. The men's 8-9 fit perfectly into my size 10 Vans and 9.5 Converse. I recommend them to anyone I know. Now I do bartending and serving and still swear by them. So grateful these are available on Amazon now.

Solette ottime purtroppo sono estremamente difficili da trovare le indicazioni sulla taglia, guardate bene e poi sarete pienamente soddisfatti!

This high quality insoles provides comfort to my running and amber of support to my arch without causing pain.
