Read More These inserts are the best I have found. They offer great support for people with a low arch when medium to high arch supports are uncomfortable. The cushioning is the best part because it doesn't breakdown. They last for years and are easily cleaned. -

Read More I bought these insoles for three main reasons: 1.) Deep heel cups, 2.) Arch support, and 3.) Forefoot cushioning. While they have good forefoot cushioning, they fail on the other two counts. Firstly, the heel cups, while deeper than most stock insoles for running or walking shoes, are not as deep as I had hoped - about 1/2" at best. The pictures make it seem much deeper- this is misleading. Since I have narrow heels, I need something deeper to help stabilize my heel.Second, the arch support is not particularly good either. Spenco lists these as being suitable for medium to high arches. I have medium arches that find high, firmed arches insoles (e.g. superfeet green or Sole softec Ultra) to be a little too high and uncomfortable. Yet these insoles provide little arch support, and not just because the arch isn't very firm. The arch just isn't high in these. I had to add a cut piece of foam under the arch (for both lateral and longitudinal arch support) to provide any support at all. This is again very misleading. The small metatarsal "bump" the insoles have are useless - it is just a slightly raised area, and under the insole, you see an indent for it. It simply collapses under even the slightest pressure.Third - while the black forefoot cushioning is quite good, it is poorly placed. I measure a solid 10.5 US on a brannock device. I bought the size 10/11 spenco insole. These insoles are LONG - could probably accomodate a size 11.5 shoe, maybe even a 12. The problem is that the black foam doesn't run close enough to the arch for me, and my forefoot is only partially on it. While the cushioning is still quite good, it seems odd to make the placement so far forward. If the insole is listed as able to accomodate a size 10 foot, the forefoot cushioning should be accomodated as well. I might have been better off with the size 8/9 - unfortunately, no stores around me carry these insoles, so I couldn't try them on first.A few other points - while the cushioning is good, it is maybe too good. The insole is completely flexible, to the point of being able to be rolled up like a crepe. Using a somewhat firmer foam in the mid-foot and heel section would help a bit with stability.Also, while it is thinner than their walker runner model, this is hardly a "thin" insole. I found it too thick to use in my hiking boots without taking up more toe volume than I would like. And I have thin, low volume feet. It will probably work for most athletic footwear, but for people with high volume feet it might be too much.Conclusions - these are probably only good for people who want/need a more cushioning insole that don't really need arch support. They are not suitable for over-pronators who need arch support and heel stabilization. I will wear them in my walking shoes with some added arch support, but I wouldn't use them for running or hiking.
