Some might find this has too much arch support, its almost like wearing high heels. This is exacerbated by the hardness of the sole. It is flexible but not soft enough so the foot cannot sink down enough especially in the heel area. I think this sole might be useful for very heavy people since their weight might be able to push it down, for lighter people (160 lbs) hardly. In the end I could not use it.

Used superfeet since beginning of year. Got green then orange. I am a supinator so had to add felt from foot doctor to roll inward. Worked good for several months replacing felt once a month. Right arch never fit well. Made foot tendon always sore. Left forefoot hurt too. I lived with it because did not want to pay $450 for foot doc orthotics. Read how these were much better for arches and heat moldable. Got these next. Feet hurt for about a week. Finally put them in the oven. This is my insole moving forward. Both problems above are gone. Completely forgot about the pain after work. Size 10 fits perfect in my wide 10 1/2 Asics and medium 10 Merrells. Ordered another pair.

Well shaped and designed. My feet feel safe and supported in my Asics with Softec ultras. Arch support is firm which can tweak arch pain during prolonged, high-impact running. I am a college soccer referee.

Awesome orthotic! Have been wearing these for about a year and a half and really love them. They are great for plantar fasciitis sufferers and have helped completely heal it in my right foot and the left one is coming along. They have excellent arch support.

These insoles are firmer and bulkier than expected. A bit too bulky for most of my shoes. Decided to keep them anyway for the arch support.

This kind of Sole footbed was recommended to me to treat my plantar fasciitis. I use them in Brooks Adrenaline 16 shoes for more than a year. I had terrible foot pain, but since I walked out of the store in my new Brooks+Sole, I forgot about the pain. I recommend this brand to all who I know.

Excellent arch support. Blows away the cheap inserts in new shoes. I now have seven pairs of these. They are durable and keep my foot fully supported in whatever shoes I'm wearing. Worth the extra money!

I've used these inserts since 2008 when I was dealing with raging plantar fasciitis. They work really well and there really isn't any need to bake them in the oven prior to wearing them. Your foot will mold to them naturally. Zappos is very quick concerning ordering and receiving the products in the mail.

I have used these inserts for myself, but now am buying a pair for my very active 12 yr old son who has foot pain issues with high arch and plantar fascitis. I bought these to replace the crappy insoles inside his Nike basketball high-tops. He put them in, put them on his feet, and gave a big sigh...."YESSSSS!" These were easy to mold (200 degree oven for 2 minutes). If you are asking yourself if it's worth it, YES IT IS!

Better arch support than Superfeet. All day comfort without any forming. Wish they were cheaper!

Comfortable insole with virtually no break-in period. I bought these to replace the worn out insoles in my 1-yr old Saucony Ride 7 running shoes. Shoes feel like new again with these insoles. Great support, cushioning and comfort. Highly recommend.

I have high arches and plantar fasciitis and for me these worked straight out of the box. I walk no less than 4 miles a day and thee have felt fantastic. Unfortunately, I cut them a little too short and, after a few weeks of feeling the end of the insole under my big toe, I'm finally ordering a new pair.

I love these inserts! Due to Plantar Fasciitis and Morton's Neuroma, I was in search of all new shoes. I thought I would try these inserts first, and voila! I don't have to get rid of my old shoes! They have enough stiffness in the front to support my toes, and they have excellent arch support. They are comfortable underfoot. These are actually more comfortable and helpful than my custom-made orthotics.

Quality insole that I wish the manufacturer would make more varietals available in larger sizes. Been using these for years. They may not exact fit your shoe but are easily trimmed. Try a pair!

I purchased these after I tore my posterior tibial tendon. I was placed in a "Boot" by my orthopedic Dr. But I still needed more arch support so I purchased these inserts. They have been super helpful. They have provided good arch support but not to much. Now I'm out of the boot and in PT and both my Dr and PT have been very impressed with the quality of these inserts. Instead of having to get fitted for special orthodic inserts my Dr feels these are adequate. I now have multiple pairs I use in every set of shoes. I will say that it does take a few days to get used to them, but once you're through that faze your feet will feel great. And if you need to you can heat them and mold them to your foot. Great product. Great quality. I would definitely recommend these and others from the same company. Thank you Zappos for having them.

My husband asked me to get him a couple more pairs of these. He said they work much better then the ones the doctor made for him and even better than the ones where he had to step into the foam and mail back to the manufacturer. My husband is very flat-footed and he has absolutely no complaints about these SOLE Softec Ultra.

True arch support and deep heel cup. I finally found relief from plantar fasciitis. They are thick and take up a lot of room in your shoes. Perfect replacement for removable footbeds.

These inserts support my feet and high arches in comfort for walking, running distance or power shopping. I remove the insert that comes with the shoe and heat this up and insert. My last pair of these outlasted 2 pairs of running shoes.

There's a place in Lubbock that sells these and I got some over a year ago. I thought I was going to have to travel back there to purchase another set because I knew that had to be heated. Imagine my delight to find them here and that I can just pop them into my own oven. Easy. I wear them in my NB athletic shoes.

My husband and I both have Planter Fasciitis and we both have found a great deal of relief by replacing the insoles of our shoes with Sole insoles. Can't guarantee it will help everyone, but it helped us and we have and will buy these again.

Softec Ultra was recommended by my podiatrist to support my high arches. It helps, but it is not the absolute cure. I put them in all my shoes.

I have flat feet so my comments will relate mostly to my condition. These are as good as it gets for of the shelf orthotics. I heat them at 200 degrees for seven minutes instead of the recommended two minutes. The extra heat soaking conforms them better to my feet, your mileage may vary.

I wore Sole insoles in my boots in the Marine Corps and they were extremely comfortable in the field and even on 25mile humps. Now I am have them in Redwing steel toe boots as a diesel mechanic and 10 years later they are still making outstanding insoles. I tried some superfeet green insoles for a few minutes and knew right away they were not for me. These soles are awesome.

I've been using Sole inserts/orthotics for more than a decade. You can either mold them to your foot by wearing them for a few days or by heating them as directed, putting them in your shoes and standing in them for two minutes. For me, the longer I use these the more comfortable they become. It's a disappointment when I finally wear out a set because by then they feel so natural you hate to part with them.
