Not only are these the most comfortable orthotics around but both my Podiatrist and Physical Therapist highly recommend them. \r\n\r\nThey are comfortable, easy to form, take little care and last forever. Certainly they are much more modestly priced than custom made orthotics.

I've used three sets of Sole insoles in my Brooks Adrenalin running shoes for 7 half-marathons and one marathon. They fit perfectly in Brooks (women's size 9). The first time I used them I was in a hurry, and didn't heat them in the oven. They worked just fine. I buy a new set each year and wouldn't buy any other insole.

These Sole Ultra Softec are life savers. I spend all day on my feet on hard cement surfaces and my feet and legs were killing me. I've tried multiple shoes and shoe inserts to help my aching feet. None have helped until these Sole Ultra Softec. The last thing I wanted to do was pay a lot of money for a pair of inserts, but I was desperate. I also thought that heating them up in the oven to fit your feet was just a gimmick. I read the reviews on Zappos and gave them a try. They are great, I'd like to say worth the money. I just close my eyes when I push the purchase button knowing that my feet will be the happier for it. I give them four stars overall because of the price. 5 stars for comfort. Style is irrelevant here they fit your shoes what else matters? I am glad they aren't bug green or purple.

I bought these to replace very expensive orthotics molded by a doctor. The Softecs are easy to mold using the included instructions and they seem to have a very long life. This purchase was for a second pair just so I don't have to switch them when I change shoes at the gym. I use them mostly in New Balance shoes but have slipped them in dressier shoes when I knew I would be on my feet for several hours. I use orthotics for a knee situation and to keep a formerly dislocated foot bone in place.

This is my second set of insoles. I use them with my New Balance sneakers. They really help alleviate the pains I get in my arches. They are well worth the price.

I love these insoles. I've had three pairs now. I have really flat feet and suffer from foot pain when I don't use good supportive shoes, and these have helped a ton. I have them in my running shoes and occasionally switch them over into some Merrells that I have as well. I also like how you heat them up when you first get them to custom mold them to your feet. Pretty cool technology. A bit pricey, but worth it to keep my feet from hurting.

Good Item -
I had a bit of metatarsal pain and these worked to stop the pain when other insoles did not. Good item!

Awesome!
I now have several pairs of these, and they're great. If you squeeze them in your fingers, it feels like they don't have as much cushioning as some other insoles, but when they're in your shoes, they're magical. I've got arthritis in balls of my feet (I broke both big toes in tae kwon do with poorly executed front kicks), and these feel terrific. I weigh about 240, and I don't heat these up at all - I just put them in my shoes and they're perfect.

Good support but cushioning is lacking -
These are good for arch support but not as cushioning as the Ecco inserts. They also tip your balance a little forward in golf shoes so golfers need to be aware of the slight difference in posture.

Sole Ultra Softec -
Initially, I had high hopes for these insoles as they got good reviews from others. I put them in the oven at 200 degrees for two minutes until the heat indicator changed color. They didn't seem to be as moldable as they let on. They do have a high arch support that took some getting used to but after a few days of straight wear, I got used to the arch support and they actually became comfortable to wear. I still think they are too hard for me. Not enough cushion.

Soles are lifesavers -
These insoles are nothing short of amazing. Before I got them, I was using the cheap drugstore kind and my feet hurt CONSTANTLY (I'm a bartender and cocktail waitress). Since I got the Soles, my feet have been soo happy and pain-free! These are worth every penny.

Amazing -
I have had a pair of the ultras going on 2 years now (just bought a new pair). I am a valet and put in probably 10-15 miles a day on concrete. These along with Brooks Adrenaline GTS's have saved my legs. I used to constantly have shin splints wearing only Asics with no insole. I thank SOLE for the awesome product and way to go Zappos for carrying them!

Very good for high arches -
I've tried various inserts for my running shoes, literally dozens of them. These are fantastic. I have been running in the ultra soles for about a year now without injury. If you have a high long arch, these are the most aggressive inserts available. They are very supportive, and they also have a deep heel cup which helps to stabilize the heel. All good if you suffer from plantar fasciitis or peroneal tendonitis.
Although I run in the ultras, most people would probably be ok in the regulars, which have the same contour, they just aren't as thick. Neither feels cushy, though. they provide firm support. I also wear the slims in my Skechers casual shoes. Terrific find, and I'm so glad that Zappos carries them.
