Background My feet have recently begun to hurt. I don’t know the cause, but arch supports & cushioning stop the pain. I’ve ordered 5 different insoles in the last couple of months, & these are my favorite so far. Photos with Ballotte insoles (too thick) I took pictures comparing them to the Ballotte insoles because these were the 1st two I tried. The Ballottes looked more impressive, but I can’t find any shoes in which I can wear them. They make the shoes much too tight. Any shoe with a removable insole has worked great with the Skemics (black on top, with light blue cushioning.) Arch Support comparison with 3 other Brands Of the other insoles that fit well in my shoes, the Skemics have the strongest arch support. When you press it, it gives less than Bukihome & significantly less than the Hillcraft. The Dr. Brace insoles, besides being uncomfortable & seeming to be of cheap quality & had a very low arch support. Also, some insoles’ arch supports don’t go far enough toward the center of the foot. You might be able to see in photo #4 that you’ll be able to feel Skemic’s arch support in the center of your foot, not just at the edge. Customer Service These relieved the foot pain so well that I didn’t want to be without them & didn’t want to wear the same insoles every day, so I ordered a 2nd pair. They arrived with a slit cut in the middle of one insole. The seller sent me a replacement set immediately, trusting me to return the damaged pair. I waited until I received the 3rd set of insoles before writing this review to make sure they were not damaged. They are perfect. Compared to Bukihome insole The Bukihome is my 2nd favorite. It has thicker cushioning, which might be too thick for some shoes. Its arch support is strong, but is really only at the edge of the foot, so if I rest my foot on the Bukihome, without standing on it, there is air between my foot & the insole in the middle of my foot. The Skemic has an arch that extends across most of the foot, so resting my foot on it, I feel the insole touching every part of my foot - no gap under any part of my arch. Odor & Packaging Also, there is no odor upon opening the insoles box, & it is extra easy to open without even tape holding it closed. Read more
I wear womens' size 8 boots, and these fit perfectly. They do a great job of giving extra support to my mud boots without being so big that they make the boots too tight. I only wear the boots for an hour or two per day, maybe once or twice a week. That being said, these insoles have held up well since I got them in March. Definitely a good value for the money and something I would order again. Read more
These insoles are sturdy and useable, though nothing fancy. They are not as comfortable as some others I have tried though they do support my arches. . I am not overly impressed with these insoles. They appear cheaply made. Read more
I'm one of those people who suffer from plantar fasciitis, and if you've ever dealt with it, you know it can cause severe foot pain. What makes a huge difference however, is getting the proper shoe insoles, which can make the difference between prolonged suffering and finding some relief. I was very pleased with these Orthotic Shoe Insoles from Skemic that are specifically designed to ease discomfort from plantar fasciitis, flat feet and bunions. Featuring a deep heel cup, these heavy duty, foam inserts can support over 220 pounds giving you balanced arch support and stability. They provide shock absorbing cushions to reduce impact on your feet, while the moisture wicking upper keeps your feet dry and comfortable. The non-slip tread on the bottom also provides enhanced traction, preventing any slipping inside your shoes and ensuring a comfortable fit. Perfect for anyone on their feet all day, they help reduce fatigue and stop that tight, over-stretched painful feeling in your feet. They may seem on the high end at $29.99 for the pair, but these are quality orthotic inserts, and definitely improve foot comfort and offer consistent pain relief, which is worth any amount of money in my view when you're feet finally stop hurting. And considering their strong arch support lasts for 3 months or longer, they are reasonably priced. Read more
My husband and I have been on a mission to find the perfect insole. For me, that involves good arch supports that help prevent recurrence of plantar fasciitis. I've been using these insoles in my everyday shoes for the past couple of weeks, and I'm very happy with the results. The arch support is firm, which I like, but it's made more comfortable because of the cushioning in the heel cup and the anti-pressure design for the ball of the foot. These would not be a replacement if you've paid the money for custom orthotics, but they are a very good quality insert for an over-the-counter product. Take care of your feet! It's amazing how much the health of ones feet impacts your overall health! So do yourself a favor and care for those tootsies so they will take care of you for the rest of your life! Read more
The media could not be loaded. Decent inserts, fair arch support, a little hard and I prefer gel as far as comfort. They function fine, but won’t be extremely durable for a long period of time. And the height is OK. These seem a little overpriced to me. I’ve attached a video in which I give a very thorough review of these inserts while showing them up close in detail. How do you hope this review is helpful and you have a great day! Read more
I got a new pair of shoes for daily wear, and Always replace the factory insoles for better cushioning, I decided to try these Skemic Anti-Fatigue Orthotic Arch Support insoles, and these are some of the best ones I've found so far. The top part is a nice soft weave, and the heel fits really nice. On the underside are some weird circular cushions under the ball of your foot... after wearing these for the past week, all I can say is that they are awesome. I have a lot of support and spring, and I walk back and forth to multiple buildings on campus. My feet feel less tired at the end of the day. They come in different sizes, so get true to your size; they should work great for you too. Read more
