Product Information

I found the insoles to be comfortable as I do a standing job wearing steel toe shoes. So having these insoles helped me a lot. My feet always used to have sweat in them but since I started having these insoles my feet are fine and this shows the quality of the product . I really like the product and its value for money. I definitely recommend. Insoles are the lining of the shoe that support the sole or plantar surface of the foot,” explains Dr. Kennedy. “They can [also] be called orthotics and can be off the shelf or custom-made by an orthoptist. For people with a high-arch foot, a supportive orthotic with a lateral heel wedge is often used, while a person with a low arch or flat foot uses a medial posting to help bring the heel into better position while maintaining the arch height.” As the name suggests, these are designed to prevent future issues from arising in the joints, as well as managing existing pain. One of our testers who has issues with leg pain and Morton's Neuroma wore these for runs, high intensity workouts, and with casual shoes for daily wear, and found that they provided significant pain relief. We also noticed that the additional support translated to a better stance, and encouraged better alignment and stability, enabling us to walk and stand for longer periods of time. The insoles we tested had unique constructions that were specific to what they aimed to provide. Some had many features, with targeted areas of padding, the use of multiple different materials, and claims to cure all foot pain, while others were simpler in design and function.

While some might be looking for support from their insoles to help with proper foot alignment or common injuries such as plantar fasciitis, others will be looking for insoles that provide a higher level of comfort in the form of a nicely cushioned layer between their feet and the hard floor or long trail. Our reviewers judged the "feel" of each pair of insoles as objectively as possible, noting the specific features of each insole that can be felt no matter your arch type or size. However, what the longer-term "feel" of each insole will be is sure to be different for different users. We were partial to insoles that provided good support with a light amount of cushion for comfort and assessed which insoles performed the best in both categories for this portion of our review. The Powerstep Pinnacle are the best insoles we tested for helping remedy foot pain due to pronation. The most common pronation issues are overpronation and underpronation, whereby the natural inward rolling of the foot on impact either rolls too much (overpronation) or too little (underpronation), putting pressure on specific areas instead of distributing force evenly throughout the foot. This can lead to many issues down the line, including the common plantar fasciitis. The Powerstep Pinnacle insoles help keep the feet from over or under pronating with their deep heel cup that aids with natural alignment, and a semi-rigid shell with arch support that provides stability. They're stiff and slip easily into your shoes, allowing you to put them into multiple pairs of shoes without hassle, and are low-profile enough not to take up too much room. I saw an online ad for XStance and tried them. They look nearly identical to the Dr. Scholl's insoles I've been using most. The Walk-Hero Comfort and Support are low-profile, rigid insoles that provide support for all arch types and are made to help alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Firm and pronounced arch support help provide stability to the plantar fascia, and a thin mid-layer of silicone gives a slight cushion to the entire insole. Their rigid support shell makes them easy to insert into any shoe, be it casual, athletic, or work footwear. Because of their ability to support all arch types and their ease of fitting into multiple different shoes, these insoles are an excellent choice for everyday use.

It depends on the material, but usually a warm water scrub and leaving them out to dry,” says Dr. Kennedy. Most insoles come with an antimicrobial layer of fabric that eliminates the need for this, but you can usually wash them without damaging them if you feel the need for extra freshness. I'm a motorcycle instructor, pounding pavement for 6-12 hours a day. Over the past year I've tried many boot/insole combinations and had begun to resign myself to incredibly sore feet at the end of a day, and often for several days.

FootActive have been an NHS-approved supplier of orthotic insoles in the UK since 2010, in recognition of their effectiveness at correcting a wide range of foot problems. Our Sensi orthotic soles are particularly suitable for alleviating the painful foot conditions associated with diabetes and arthritis. Dr. John Kennedy, Chief of the Division of Foot and Ankle Surgery at NYU Langone Orthopedic, explains that there are two types of insoles: “Accommodating insoles, made to feel good and support the alignment of the foot, while offering protection from overloading; and corrective orthotics, designed to fit into a shoe and correct the mechanical malalignment of a person’s foot.” The Superfeet Carbon are a low-volume, low-profile pair of insoles made for performance athletic shoes and tight-fitting casual shoes. With thin, lightweight, yet high-density foam and a hard, carbon fiber stabilizer cap, these insoles are high-quality and help give your feet extra comfort and support. With moderate arch support, these are excellent for those with flat feet and can slip easily into any shoe. The perforated forefoot is also a unique touch that enhances breathability and decreases weight. FootActive's shoe inserts and orthotic insoles work by supporting parts of the foot that might not be aligned properly. The different styles of orthotic insoles we supply each ensure support is distributed and targeted to the area that needs it most, whether to the heel, arch, or ball of the foot. They have recently been redesigned, and we did notice that the new version feels flimsier and doesn’t provide the same level of support.

Was looking for a good pair of insoles online and came across xstance advertisement decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did my feet were aching co stantly after a couple of months wearing these insoles my feet never hurt .

Whether you’re embarking on a hike, exploring a city, or attending a festival, wearing insoles can be a game changer for your feet. But not all are made equal, and the first step to finding the right pair, according to podiatrist Dr. Diana Levin Valencia, is to “figure out what type of foot you have and what problem you have.”After researching over 50 pairs of insoles, our expert gear testers rounded up 9 of the best available today to give you an extensive look at what each pair has to offer.

The way that insoles fit and feel can be a very subjective experience dependent on foot shape, size, needs, and medical conditions, so let this review serve as more of a guideline to the best features of each brand.
