I walk/stand on hard concrete floors day at work and was suffering from metatarsal/ball of foot pain so bad after work that I could barely walk. I also have had a lot of arch and heel pain in the past. These insoles gave me the stability and support so that my feet could finally heal and be pain free. The cushioning is abundant, but firm, not marshmallowy. But marshmallows were not cutting it. Good arch support. The insoles also lasted much longer than your run of the mill 3 months. I have not found their equal. Read more

I don't normally write reviews but these are the real deal. I've spent so much money on insoles for my work boots the last decade and they're always the same gel/foam flimsy "pads" no matter who you buy them from or how much they cost. But between the arch support, the anti-shock, and the carbon plate these things feel extremely engineered for what they do and I couldn't be happier. I can feel the difference in every step. I regularly get 15-20k steps in steel toe boots across solid concrete a day at work and the high arches on these took a little to get used to but my plantar fasciitis and general foot fatigue is completely gone. They've also helped relieve my back and hip pain when I'm just standing around for long periods. Absolute game changer. Read more

Seriously. For me, the choice is between good shoes with quality insoles and a small orthotic (plus occasional use of a cane), or continuing to spend the rest of my life bed-bound and in pain. When I found out that New Balance no longer made these, I was crushed. It's a rare combo to find in an insole, and I thought I'd have to start all over again. I rotate between Brooks and Skechers, and only get new insoles so I don't have to rotate them, too. Some of these insoles have lasted 3 or 4 years! The only sign of wear is a bit of fraying around the edges, or lint that can be easily washed off. Still springy, still supportive. No plantar pain. Arch is well-maintained, too. I don't depend on these to cushion my entire foot - that what shoes are for. My only complaint is that I wish they made a version of these to use in sandals. Read more

These insoles do what they are supposed to do and keep my feel comfortable while doing it. I appreciate the design and cushion and ultimately the pain relief I get from them. The only thing keeping them from a 5 star review is that they squeak as a walk. Other than that, these are perfect insoles. Read more

Great inserts to replace the quality of the ones that come with new shoes. Very cushioned I’ve used these for at least 10 years. Read more

I don't usually write reviews unless something is really good or really bad! In this case, it's really good. I've been told that I have everything wrong with feet that can be wrong with feet..... extremely high arches, tendonitis, tendonopathy, plantar fasciitis, enthesitis, arthritis (psoriatic and osteoarthritis) etc, etc... You name it! These are expensive, but they are worth it. Get good shoes and good inserts..... What a relief! Read more

I have a Morton's Neuroma on my left foot and Achilles tendonitis on that same side. These insoles have been very helpful in relieving the pain from the neuroma while walking due to the comfy metatarsal pad. They have great arch support and seem to help keep my feet from pronating as much, which helps with my tendonitis. I can walk for miles with these. A great price point, too. Read more

This insole was promoted to have good metatarsal pads and work well in relieving metatarsal pain--they do not. The pad protection is nonexistent (although there is a pad location of sorts but no real padding). The metarsal area feels like a hard, rigid plastic and made me feel the lack of natural foot padding more. The insoles are rigid/uncomfortable and the arch is very high and very hard (I have a high arch). Tried on for a few minutes it pressed hard on my high arch and hurt. Cannot use and cannot recommend-- particularly if one is trying to relieve metarsal pain. Read more
