Superfeet All-Purpose Support Medium Arch Insoles (Blue) - Trim-To-Fit Orthotic Shoe Inserts - Professional Grade

I am a Physical Therapy Student and have learned how to cast for custom insoles. Basically in class we are told that we should recommend that patients first try "off the shelf" insoles to see if they work. The idea is that sometimes it may seem like a foot problem when its something else, and sometimes its a foot problem that the off the shelf insoles will fix. If someone still has problems beyond this then custom orthotic insoles are a great choice, but at least we tried cheaper options first. Its practical and often works great. I had mild foot soreness after long walks and long work days. I started by cross training with Merrell Barefoot Trail GlovesMerrell Men's Barefoot Trail Glove. I really got the shoes to check them out rather than to try and fix any problems, I was curious and I like them. These are nice "barefoot" shoes but I don't believe they made any change in my mild dynamic overpronation. Basically I just need a little extra support that my regular shoes don't have. I have a medium arch and these superfeet are great. I use them in a few different shoes that luckily had a similarly sized and shaped insole. They fit my arch exactly by shoe size as selected on amazon. The rigid rearfoot piece is very important. If you need support because your arch is mobile (like mine) than you need something rigid under it so it will keep its shape. If you have a rigid arch, then you need something to build up to your arch, stay there, and cushion it to absorb impact. Either way, I think superfeet can fill that role or atleast are worth a shot. The blue ones are great for my medium dynamically overpronating arch. I cannot speak to the green, black, or orange ones but I would guess the descriptors for arch size would be about correct. Again, I really do believe that the rigid rearfoot is important if you need support. If you just want some comfort, then just gets some cushion in your shoes.

Very comfortable with easy insertion. Just enough arch support for flat feet. Highly recommended by my podiatrist

I have very flat feet, Doctor recommended these and was adamant I buy only these. I have used them for years now in all my shoes. They are expensive but help me tremendously with foot and back pain.

I just bought new hiking boots, and though they fit well, there was a hot spot in the heel area of the right foot that was giving me blisters. So, I figured I'd try some Superfeet, because they supposedly lock down your heel, and I have heard lots of glowing reviews (friends and online reviews).I first ordered these blue insoles, as well as the black and green insoles, in the "E" size, because I wear a size 10.5/11 shoe. None of them were very comfortable, so I returned them all, wondering what all the fuss was about.After taking another hike - and getting another blister in the right heel - I figured I'd try one more time. I ordered these blue ones in the "F" size - even though it was bigger than my shoe size - and immediately after placing them on the floor and stepping on them, I could tell they fit me perfectly. Turns out, the arch and the heel cup of the "E" size had been too small. So, if you're ordering these, ORDER MULTIPLE SIZES AT ONCE - especially since returns are free. The size of your ARCH is more important than the size of your shoe/foot. The arch of the support should feel like it's cradling the entire arch of your foot.As far as which color to buy, I like the blue because they seem like a good balance of support and lower volume. I think the green would be too much for my well-fitted hiking boots, and the black doesn't seem to offer as much support under the heel.Update: I finally got a chance to use these on a short but steep hike (4 miles) and they did GREAT. I'm finally a believer, now. They totally solved the blister problem I was having, kept my feet stable and "locked into place," and were very comfortable. Plus, I swear my feet/knees/legs feel less fatigued than they did before these insoles. I'm looking forward to using them in my snowboard boots this winter.Try them out, it might be a great help.

These inserts have helped tremendously helpful. I have tried other inserts and I must say these have been the best by far and hold up nicely.

I was a bit hesitant initially as the price point is greater than many of their competitors - then I realized that they have no competitors! These are the best thing I have ever done for my feet, period.I recently developed Plantar Fasciitis and it was to the point that simply walking was getting painful. Each time I stood up it was like nails were being driven into my heels and arches - at 47 I was starting to get worried. I did a bit of research and found that proper support would go a long way towards helping so I went to the local CVS and got some of the name brand gel-insoles that purported to help with the plantar fascitis. While they helped for just a few days, they only cushioned the heel a bit without actually addressing the problem, the old "Bandaid over a bullet-wound" analogy applies hereI ordered these from Amazon and I was AMAZED not only at how quickly they helped (immediately) but how they seem to be correcting the problem (poor support) to a point where I have ZERO pain when I walk even long after I've taken off my shoes.Do not even think twice about getting these if you suffer from plantar fascitis, or for that matter any other type of foot pain that may be due to poor support. I will most certainly be a repeat customer when these wear out and, honestly, they show no signs of doing so after several months.Final thoughts on sizing: I wear a 9.5 Mens shoe and the 10.5-12 fits perfectly in my shoes - no trimming at all and the support is in the perfect place.I hope this review has helped - I paid full price and was not compensated in any way
