There is excellent arch support provided by these insoles. They're light weight and comfortable, especially for us flat-footed marathoners. My only complaint is I wish they had a bit more padding up in the forefoot area. They're a little hard so make sure your shoe provides ample cushioning.

After beginning a new job that required standing up to 8 hours per day on a carpeted floor over concrete slab, I have tried several different insoles and shoe brands to make my feet and legs more comfortable. I bought Birkenstock oxfords and Dansko professional clogs for the first time, but neither of these pricey styles solved the problem. These Dean Karnazes insoles in moderately priced New Balance 575s have been the best solution so far. I would love to use the thicker Ed Viesturs version, but they're too thick to fit in my regular shoes (better suited to boots, I guess). The instructions said oven warming wasn't required, so I didn't do it. I have high arches and I wish I'd known about these many years earlier.

Great Insoles! Before these insoles, I was running in support shoes (Brooks Axiom and the like) with a custom orthotic. I decided to try these out because my orthotics were heavy and made me land on my heels rather than on my midfoot. These came within about 12 hours of ordering them and molded great. My feet don't get tired like they used to when I used my orthotics and I have been able to steadily increase in mileage with the same effort as before. For the price, it doesn't get much better. Get these.

SOLE Dean Karnazes insoles - I have been a fan of SOLE heat-moldable insoles for several years. I use the Ed Viesturs model which is extra thick and cushioned, but those don't fit in some shoes so I decided to try these Dean Karnazes ones which are a bit thinner. They are exactly as I expected- not as cushioned, obviously, but enough. For the custom fit, like the other SOLEs, you heat these in the oven for a few minutes, put them into your shoes, lace them up and stand still for 2 min while they mold to your feet. A great system and, while not exactly cheap, much cheaper than custom orthotics.

Semi-custom Insoles - After I got these out of the box and gave them a good once over I proceeded to pop them in the oven and mold them to my feet. I didn't break them in using traditional manners and instead opted to just wear them out on a 10+ mile day hike. I've since also worn them on a 10+ mile overnight backpacking trip and they have been wonderful so far. I'm extremely pleased with these and feel they fit my feet better than the Superfeet I've tried using previously.

Finally found a good insole - I have been searching comfortable insole/shoe for a long time... At work I have to be on my feet 12hrs a day on a concrete floor which is hard on my heel and feet ... I decided to try this insole and so far I am very comfortable with come it makes my feet feel.

These insoles are amazing. I have high arches, so I chose this model. I followed the instructions for molding them in the oven, trimmed them with a scissor, and they are a perfect fit. I got so totally ripped spending so much for inferior insoles from my podiatrist. These were sold for much less.

If you have high arches, BUY THESE. I put them in my running shoes and I have no more shin pain. I'll never buy another insole for running.
