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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been a runner with flat feet for years. I am shocked how these relatively inexpensive insoles have solved all sorts of chronic aches and pains I've always just accepted. My chronic back pain is gone, no more ankle and hip pain. I'm not any faster of a runner, but I'm pain free and these insoles are the reason. I noticed a difference the first time I ran and it has only gotten better now that I've been running 3 to 4 days a week for a month. With my arches supported my feet don't splay out when I run. My foot strikes the ground heel to toe and rolls forward in a much more natural and comfortable way. I would highly recommend these and have found the same satisfaction on another pair of the Sole casual shoe version arch support I bought to wear in my daily shoes.

These inner soles are terrific. I sprained my ankle months ago and have had a slow and difficult recovery. I am a personal trainer so I am on my feet all day long. I placed these in a very supportive running shoe and they have helped enormously. I no longer have pain in my feet nor my ankle. I have been able to run again and feel great. They were easy to use and are a remarkable product.

I have to use insoles for arch support and have for years. An orthopedist recommended SOLE insoles back when I had tendinosis and they really help. I have used them in every pair of sneakers I wear since then (around 7 years). This version of SOLE is meant to help with moisture control, I think, and they work very well.

I recently tried a number of insoles and these are the best for me. These insoles seem to have the highest arches, which work well for my feet. I wish I had these insoles years ago.

I bought these to use instead of the orthopedic insoles I received from mayo clinic to help adjust my pronation through raising my arch. They are a lot more comfortable and don't cause blisters when exercising like the original ones. I'm planning on using them for marathons and ultras next year.

Great arch support with just the right amount of cushioning. They may be a little thick for some running shoes but they fit great in my Merrell Chameleons. I have at least one of every pair of SOLEs and have a few older pairs of Superfeet that have been replaced by SOLE. Both brands have their place, but I've grown to love the high arches of the SOLES.
