Poor SupportGreat Support
These inserts make Converse All-Stars wearable. I love my Chucks, but the lack of arch support is a serious problem. The 3/4 length of these inserts is perfect: they provide plenty of support under the arch, but because they don't extend under the toes, they're compatible with Chucks' low toe box. I wear a 42 in Birkenstocks, and these inserts ran true to size for me.

I love these. Most of my shoes and boots don't have any arch support, and these slip in, stay in place, and have relieved a lot of foot pain for me. You can't even see them when you're wearing ballet flats! I only have 1 set right now that I slip into whatever pair of shoes I'm wearing that day, but I am sure I'll purchase one or 2 more so I can have a better rotation.

We read the reviews on these and bought them. My husband is on his second pair...they work out great! Would recommend to anyone.

Expensive, but worth it! I have a medium arch, and this insole provides excellent support in my every-day shoes that aren't supportive enough on their own.

Great arch support and easy to deal with. I've used these for years and love them. I wear them both on top of the regular sport shoe insole and on top if the insole isn't easily removable. I have plantar fascia and have kept it under control for a number of years now by using these and some other Birkenstock supports. In case, you are wondering, these wouldn't work in regular shoes, too wide for most.

Not the full, true Birk footbed experience, but a close second! Very convenient to swap into retro/style sneaks, which tend to have flat footbeds with absolutely no arch support (ah, the 70's).

Just love the Birk arch supports! Very comfortable and gives feet great support. At work I walk on hard floors all day and find with the Birks my feet don't hurt at the end of the day. The ability to use them in various shoes is a real plus. Definitely Five Stars in my book.

Many thanks to Zappos for getting me what I needed in super speedy time. These supports are terrific in that I can switch them from shoe to shoe as needed, and my feet are so much happier when I do. Thank you, Zappos!

Added these supports to some non-supportive Merrells by slipping them under the regular insoles, Heaven! Only will work for me if the shoes are roomy enough to use with 2 sets of insoles, since it seems like the support might pinch if used alone, being only a partial length insole.

I got this for some plantar fascia and because I trust the Birkenstock name. I'm not 100% sure what I think. It is definitely significantly better and it fits in my shoe nicely, it does not feel as good as their clog, but for taking a long walk, they're good. A nice alternative to an expensive orthotic.

This product provides by far the best arch support. My husband has flat feet and I have tried many many different shoes and products for him, but nothing worked as well as these.

The footbed was an almost instant relief to my plantar fasciitis. I now move it from my walking shoes to my work shoes every day! Time to buy another pair. I ordered the inserts on a Thursday evening, and I received them on Friday afternoon at my office. Thanks Zappos for the great shipping.

Highly recommended. I have plantar fasciitis and it\'s painful for me to walk without additional support. Although these inserts are pricey, they really work! I appreciate being able to order them in a narrow width also. It\'s wonderful to be able to walk without limping and totally pain free. Thank you Zappos for making these available!

Yes! These are so wonderful and so worth the money. I can now wear my flats with superior arch support and they even disappear when wearing ballet flats; amazing! I have falling arches & am recovering from 5 months + of tendinitis in both ankles and knees and these are truly a God-send. I will buy more pairs.

Best thing ever to happen to insoles. Our family has used them for several years (3rd pr. in use ) and would reorder when necessary. Zappos is the best place to satisy our needs.

These are better than my more expensive prescrip orthotics! I have a neuroma in each foot and these footbed arches let me walk and hike for hours without pain during and after! The silk lining/covering makes it easy to slide into my shoes and absorbs moisture really well and stays cool (for the most part). Get these! Birkenstock knows feet!

I wear these arch supports every day. I have two pair and use them in almost all my shoes, except they will slide out of a flip flop. The only thing I do not like about them, is that the blue color should really be more of a tan color to blend in with your skin and most shoes. They do support my high arch and bring relief to my foot.I suffer with plantar fasciitis, and these do help. They are better than the ones that I bought from the pharmacy.

I read reviews that said instead of orthotics, these were used and were worth the investment, especially compared with custom-made ones. I have plantar fasciitis and these inside white Ked-like sneakers meant I get to wear cute kicks rather than clunky clogs in the warmer months. They don't last me a 15 hour day like Haflingers do but they do serve me with comfort most of the day. I am glad for this purchase. I also bought the Birk slimmer soles for heeled shoes but haven't tried them yet.

These are great insoles! They turn the ordinary shoe into the comfort of a Birkenstock. You may need to begin with a shoe which is a bit wide though...

My husband and I both have plantar fasciitis and each of us has a pair of these supports. Although expensive, they do help a lot by giving excellent arch support. They take a little getting used to, but they really help alleviate heel pain.

This is an excellent product. However if you wear a half size order the next larger size. I wear a 6½ woman's and ordered a 37 which was too small. A 38 was perfect.
