SOLE Performance Medium Insoles - Custom Moldable, Mens 12/Womens 14

I developed plantar fasciitis, probably took about 3-4 months off running and pain was still lingering. But other exercises don't quite do it for me like running and I got a little stir crazy and had to do what I could to get back out there. These have become my go-to running inserts. Honestly, I thought cork sounded odd to me at first...it just didn't seem like the most comfortable option. But I wore these around the house to break in a little (I didn't warm in the oven after reading some other reviews) and the fit great. Still have to stretch and massage, but these make a big difference and are far better (for me) than anything else I tried, including 2 types of Powersteps. For longevity... This is a bit of a guess, but one set of these inserts probably lasts me through about 1.5-2 pairs of running shoes (Nike).

I have only been using these insoles for about a month, but they broke in very quickly and feel great so far. Compared to other insoles I have used that degraded or flattened out quickly, these already feel more supportive. I can stand on my feet longer and walk for longer periods without discomfort. One thing to be aware of is how these insoles interact with shoe trees, especially in leather shoes. Because these insoles use cork, leaving shoe trees fully inserted can compress the cork and cause the insoles to mold incorrectly. If the shoe tree is pushing firmly into the heel or arch area, the cork can take on that shape rather than molding to your foot. What I do instead is insert the shoe tree only partially. I use it mainly to keep the toe box from creasing and avoid seating it fully into the heel. Since doing this, the insoles feel much better and have molded properly to my feet instead of to the shoe tree. You may also need to remove the original insoles from your shoes. These insoles are thinner than many stock insoles, which can slightly change the overall fit and heel height. In my Ecco dress shoes, the original insoles were a similar thickness, so the fit was not a big deal. In my Cole Haan shoes, the original insole was glued in and significantly thicker, so removing it changed the fit more noticeably. As a result, my heel slides a bit in those shoes now. To address that, I plan to add a silicone heel grip to reduce heel slippage. Even with that adjustment, I am very happy overall. I can stand at work much longer, my knees no longer hurt, my feet are far more comfortable, and I am excited to go walking again

I've tried a few different varieties of these insoles. I like and appreciate the cork design fro less plastic use. The trouble I had with these is that even when I heated them up to try to conform to my foot, they didn't really feel like they did, and felt pretty rigid and unforgiving to me. Your foot shape and type may give you a different experience, but for such a spendy insole, I couldn't find one that worked for me and I tried 3 different models with varying levels of cushion and none of them felt great to me. In particular if you have a slightly wider foot (I'm close to a 2E width in most shoes) the outer edge will bite the side of your foot. All the ones I tried did this and the heating method didn't relieve that situation at all. There's a ridge there that will bug you if your foot is a bit wider. These are also made for higher arches, so if you have flatter feet they probably won't feel great either. Well made, good ideas, but not the best comfort for me. I do much better with some of the SuperFeet insoles. Also spendy, but much more comfortable options and different fits.

Fantastic replacement for the crappy inner soles that come standard in althletic shoes and hiking boots regardless of the cost of the footwear. Follow the directions and you end up with a footbed that rivals ones that can cost a few hundred dollars or more from a podiatrist. Also, extremely long lasting.

I really love these insoles and the way they cushion my feet and provide support. After a multi-week Alaska adventure Involving extensive hiking. Both of the insoles disintegrated in 130 f bedbug Treatment oven. So you can’t leave them in a hot car. You also can’t use any sort of boot Dreyer With them. That kind of defeats the purpose. You wear waterproof shoes they get kind of funky you need to clean them and you can’t!!! It’s really nice you can sort of kind of mold them to your feet, but it’s really not nice to spend $120 on shoe insoles to have that put down the drain when you have to Decon from the bedbugs from your trip. At $60 per pair, they are a horrible value As they don’t last, and they can’t be cleaned. They are fairly thick and will Change the fit of your shoes. They provide good grip inside your shoe for your sock. I loved them until I couldn’t wear them Because they disintegrated After just one trip. I’m afraid I can’t recommend this product anymore. Update 9/28 I contacted sole directly (who’s customer service is beyond excellent) and they fixed my issue.

These are great for standing on hard floors, hiking boots, and walking a lot. The cork is adhered with a small cushion and the combo is thin and still supportive and cushiony. I have used lots of brand with varying prices and these are one of my top brands for all day comfort without making my feet sweaty or warm.

If the shoe squeaks - use medial tape on the bottom to fix it. The squeak was driving me crazy & so annoying I have had these a few years and love them except for the SQUEAKING!!! OMG I used BSN medical tape (like moleskin but it is actually good) on the bottom of these to FINALLY FIX the squeaking. My friends called me mouse.

I wear a pair of Harley boots daily and no matter which insole I would buy I would get hot spots and my feet would be killing me if I walked too far in them or wore them for too long in a day. Even though these cork insoles cost significantly more than gel, foam, and other insoles, they were worth every penny. I was skeptical because they are very thin but they were comfortable from the very start and I have yet to experience any hot spots or aching feet. I'm done with experimenting with the various over-hyped gel insoles which never work as advertised and will only buy these from now on. These insoles also have very good arch support and after a couple of months of heavy use they are as comfortable as the day I started using them.

Bought size 11.5 for my 14 year old son. He wears a size 11.5 shoe and they are a perfect fit He plays basketball and these provide the comfort and support he needs. Highly recommend

Been using the sole corks for awhile couple of year s and really like them. I have bad feet since I was born and find as good as or better than orthotics.

Still early days, but the results have been positive. Hope that I continue to see more relief by wearing these insoles.

Solid. Good for about 2 cycles of shoes

Comfortable however they slide when walking even though installed as instructions. It was good for two days then started having issues. Tried using other glues and it just doesn't stay in place.
