Customer Reviews Superfeet All-Purpose High Impact Support (Orange)

I bought the superfeet orange E insoles a year ago through an online retailer. I am a size 10.5/11 normal width in most shoes. I weigh 160 pounds and I am moderately active. The material used to make these insoles is nice. No sign of major failure through every day use over the past year. My experience with the insoles however is negative, and I have stopped wearing them. Before I purchased the orange insoles I tried a few different sizes of green to gage how superfeet fit. Green was the only insole available to try at my local sporting goods store but I was persuaded to buy orange as several sources indicate they are tuned for hiking or working on your feet, and provide a lot of arch support. I ordered the orange from an online retailer and after wearing for two weeks I could tell they provide good arch support, this was very nice but... my heals would feel sore after standing on them all day and could not wait to get home to take them off. I continued to wear them thinking they may need to be broken in, or my feet just need to adjust as I have never worn anything more than the foam inserts provided in most shoes. Approximately a year has gone by now and I have removed these from my foot ware. I now have hard calluses on my heals from where the plastic heal cup has been digging into my feet like the edge of a butter knife. The problem is that the heal cup is deep and narrow and should be flared out at the edges allowing a comfortable fit to the heal, but instead it almost projects straight upward perpendicular from its base. There is a layer of black foam and orange fabric that overlaps the edges of the plastic heal cup but it is not enough to take the edge feeling away from the hard plastic, in fact the fabric has worn away slightly along that edge, and this is where I now have thick calluses on both of my feet. This is what I have felt since day one. I have heard the orange insoles have been revised a few times, perhaps this is no longer an issue. But unfortunately these ones are too painful for me to wear. See photo of the wear spots.

Are you on your feet all day long? These are a must. Help fight fatigued feet and legs. Takes amazing shoes and turns them into something you enjoy and lol forward to putting on, even if it is to go to work on your feet for 10 plus hours a day!!

My son uses these for soccer and in his athletic shoes. His podiatrist is happy with them while waiting for custom inserts. I'm happy to report, that for the first time in 12 years, these inserts allowed my son to run without pain!!!!! Well worth the price.
