Well, this is our most cushioned product. If you’re looking for an insole with maximum cushioning and shock absorption, then the fat is the one for you. Its extra layer of open-cell poliyou foam delivers extra cushioned comfort and support. The double-arc heel design cups the foot and reduces pressure on the plantar fascia. The low friction top cover is longwearing and easy to clean. Ideal for: hiking, running (higher volume shoes), walking, work boots, ski/snowboarding boots, or any high volume shoe. Available in three different arch shapes: high/med/low thickness: 5mm Review: The metatarsal button is your friend... you must learn to love the metatarsal button. - I added these to a pair of Giro Empire XC90 mtb cycling shoes. Size 45.5 I've been dealing with Metatarsal nerve impingement while riding. It goes something like: at mile 10 the first hints of "heat" start to be apparent at the balls of my feet, especially the outside of the forefoot. then by mile 20, numbness of my 3rd, 4th and 5th toes starts to set in. By mile 30, mild pain in the outside of my feet near the ball of the feet, by mile 40 the pain becomes somewhat annoying, by mile 50... I have to consciously think about something else, and try my best to ignore it. By mile 60... it becomes unignorable and starts to degrade my pace. By mile 70, the pain is debilitating and I have to either stop, take my shoes off and let them rest for about an hour, or finish the ride. These seem to have fixed that for me. So far I've done a 12mile (maximum effort sprint pace) a 17mile (again max effort with some steep hill climbs) and a 30 mile (max effort with more climbing) rides. On the 12 mile ride - no hint of the heat (and by extrapolation, the other symptoms that would follow it) On the 17 mile ride - no symptoms, no hints of impending numbness. On the 30 mile ride - no symptoms. No heat, no numbness, no impending pain. All three rides left my feet feeling as if I had just been walking around in a good pair of supportive hiking boots for a few hours. Ie: normal. Usually my first priority after a ride is to doff my SPD shoes... like ASAP. Not now, on return it's no longer a "OMG get my feet the @#$% outa these @#$%ing shoes" kinda deal for me. I'm very confident that these insoles may have licked my problem. Time, and a couple of 60 mile + rides will tell for sure, but right now. They are worth a shot if you have similar problems as I have on the bike with your feet. That metatarsal button is the real deal. It might feel funny at first, kinda alien, not uncomfortable... just really weird. Ignore it. Think about something else. Your body will adapt to them. And you'll be happy it does. I'm 100% convinced It's the key to pain free riding if you get nerve impingement at the metatarsal heads. EDIT: update, completed a 70 mile ride today, 17mph average speed, 3100 feet of climbing. Really putting the spurs to it for me. Finished ride with ABSOLUTELY ZERO PAIN, NUMBNESS, OR DISCOMFORT in my feet. Legs were kinda tired, back a little sore, hands a little numb... the twig n' berries a little numb.... feet? Absolutely symptom free. Ice bug is the real deal, as far as I'm concerned. If I could, I'd give this product 6 stars. I had to trim mine, since my Giros are narrow at the forefoot, and I bought the size 12 insole, and trimmed to 11.5 (which is about what a 45.5 comes out to) I accomplished this by lining up the heel cups and tracing the OEM insoles (which are actually pretty decent... with removable and adjustable arch supports... just no metatarsal button) with a sharpie onto the ice bugs. I then carefully trimmed them to match the tracing with a fresh exacto knife, and inserted them into the shoe footbed. Easy peasy. Again, these may not be for everybody - but if you experience the symptoms of metatarsal nerve impingement when riding... they may be your best purchase all year. Review: Pricey But Worth It - I've been cycling for over forty years and these are definitely the best insoles I have ever had in a pair of cycling shoes. When it comes to cycling, I have problematic feet. They're wide, so I either have to find wide shoes (rare), or wear a half size to a full size up to get enough width to prevent my toes from being squeezed. I also have high arches and a weak ankle (the result of an injury many years ago). Without a massive amount of arch support, my weak ankle allows my foot to roll inward effecting both my foot's position on the pedal and my pedaling motion. In recent years I've taken to putting plastic arch supports beneath the stock insoles in my shoes. This has helped, but not solved, my problems and keeping the supports in place is a pain. I did some research and found a suggestion regarding metatarsal support for cycling insoles. If you don't know what this looks like, it takes the form of a "bump" in the insole directly behind the ball of the foot. I did some more research and found excellent reviews and pictures of the Icebug insoles. I decided to give them a try. They're pricey but, out of the box, you can tell they are well designed and well made. I bought a size 12 US to fit a size 47 Shimano road cycling shoe and they fit with minimal trimming on both sides of the toes. The length was perfect. The arch and metatarsal bump are both very pronounced. They look like they'd be uncomfortable, but they conform to my feet perfectly. And they seem to work. I only have two thirty mile rides with them so far, but my foot comfort is much improved and I don't have to fool with separate arch supports. If things continue to go well, I'm going to buy a second pair for my mountain bike shoes. ## Features - SLIM is the thin version of our insoles, perfect for shoes with a non-removable footbed. SLIM is around 5 mm thick at the heel and 2 mm at the forefoot. It does not have the extra layer of comfort foam. SLIM provides the same support, just less cushion - FOR TRANSVERSE FOOT ARCH: In the middle of a step, the whole body weight rests on the foot. The metatarsal pad then provides dynamic support to the front foot arch, thereby promoting its natural movement pattern - FOR LONGITUDINAL FOOT ARCH: As body weight moves forward, the foot arches are flattened out to absorb the shocks. The dynamics in the soles help the arches regain their natural form - FOR THE HEEL: In heel placement, the sole's soft layer is compressed, which gathers the fat pad into the heel and improves the shock absorption - SIZE: Choose your standard shoe size. If you fall between sizes, go up to the next size and trim to fit. TRIM: Trace the old insole on top of the Icebug Insole, then cut along the line to trim off the excess ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Fabric type | 100% Nylon | | Origin | Imported | | Sole material | Rubber | ## Images ![SLIM Low Cushion Support Insole with Arch Flex Technology - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DoIMXfmbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The metatarsal button is your friend... you must learn to love the metatarsal button. *by J***N on May 18, 2019* I added these to a pair of Giro Empire XC90 mtb cycling shoes.

The Icebugs seem equally well made, with similar arch support and padding. The main difference is in the placement of the metatarsal pad. The Powersteps place the pad near the center of the foot, just behind the ball. This matches the placement of the pad in my custom made orthotics designed to relieve the pain associated with dropped metatarsals. The Icebugs place the pad farther forward, directly under the ball of the foot. While this is less effective for my condition, it may be perfect for other foot problems. If you've never used this type of insole before and aren't sure which is right for you, note that both are available from Amazon with free returns, which means you can order both and keep the ones that work for you. You can even try out the different arch sizes available for the Icebugs. Amazon pays the return postage. Just make sure you save all the packaging and avoid cutting the insoles to fit small or narrow shoes.
