Customer Reviews Birkenstock Blue Footbed Arch Support - Casual

I would recommend the arch support by Birkenstock. Although a little expensive they last a long time and I wear mine every day.

Love these. I needed something that would fit in my flats for work. They fit well all my flats and provide great support. It's really helped ease foot pain.

Absolutely amazing. The 3/4 length means that these supports fit in my Converse All-Stars -- which I dearly love but which have no arch support whatsoever and are too shallow in the toe box to allow a full-length insert. Note that these are not soft inserts; they are hard, like the footbed of a Birkenstock shoe. That might sound uncomfortable, but it's never bothered me at all (possibly because I have and love a couple pairs of Birks already); I'd rather have real arch support than a soft footbed.

These inserts have changed my life! (Okay, my wardrobe at least.) Before I found these, I thought I'd have to give up on cute flats forever, and be doomed to wear clunkier, more supportive shoes with my skinny jeans and cute work outfits. Now I can wear all the ballet flats I'd pushed to the back of the closet, and even stand in them all day long without foot pain the next day, or an aggravated knee. They also stay in place while walking, and don't need to be velcro-ed down to the soles of my shoes. While I haven't found a pair of flats they don't fit into, they are a bit wide, which means I can sometimes see the blue peeking out from below my narrow feet, so it would be great if these came in a neutral color, but that's a small price to pay for comfort and wardrobe options!

These have proven a superb investment; I can insert them easily (and quickly) in almost any pair of shoes with a back for increased support and comfort. I don't wear orthotics, but do walk a lot -- daily & my arches are low. These are fab!

Love, love, love this product. I have had a problem with heel spurs in the past. Nothing helped. Went through Cortisone shots, and even considered surgery. Then a savvy Podiatrist recommended I stop all the other stuff and get a pair of these inserts for my sneakers. He warned me they would be uncomfortable for a while until they molded to my feet, but would over a short amount of time relieve the problem of the heel spurs. In 3 months the problem was gone and I have been using them since. (At least 10 years.) No more problems with heel spurs. Hurray! I jumped for joy when I saw that Zappos had them for sale. I moved to a new town and could no longer find a local source for them.

Yeah! Support in my cheap cute shoes now! I switch these inserts to whatever shoe catches my fancy and have the great Birkenstock support from my non-Birkenstock shoes.

Love these too! I use them for every shoe, Toms, Vans, oxford flats, boots even my Cole Haan flats. Great if I am going for long(ish) walks/treks like around the Las Vegas Strip, Disneyland, San Fran etc and I want to look stylish for the photos. I am a young female and I refuse to wear ugly shoes so these help out tremendously! Im never going back to being uncomfortable. I have ankle instability and flat feet, this coupled with my physical therapy has worked wonders. Every shoe feels great. If you want to wear a stylish shoe though make sure it either expands to shove these in there or get a bigger size. I don't have to sacrifice comfort for fashion. Can have my cake and eat it too!
