Customer Reviews Birkenstock Birko Sport Arch Support - Sport

I developed plantar fasciitis, went the podiatrist route with custom orthotics and my feet still hurt. I tried the inserts seen on tv and several other brands and my feet still hurt. Surgery was recommended. I discovered Birkenstock sandals and my feet stopped hurting. i tried these inserts when it got too cold to wear sandals and they work too. I have no trouble fitting them in any of my shoes. It's been over 5 years now and I have not had a recurrence of the plantar fasciitis. These conform to support my high arch and fit my small feet. These worked for me when many other brands did not, I bet they will work for you too.

I wear 40 in the Boston clog and 39 in the Mayari and sandals. Based on another review, I went with the 40, which was too big. At first glance it fit my foot, and fit inside my shoe, but the placement of the arch was too far forward and so it just felt awkward and not supportive. So don't necessarily size up; I would recommend getting a couple different sizes so you can really figure out which one is most comfortable. Also, I was worried because I always buy narrow; in Birkenstock and these were medium but they fit fine in my Brooks Addiction tennis shoes (size 8.5) and Mountrek Lisa boots (size 8; excellent walking boots for troubled heels and arches!).

This is my dream come true. I always wanted Birk footbeds for my boots. I cannot fit the plastic part in with the cork part but the cork part is what really helps hold your arch up and has a deep heel cup. They are awesome for high arches and people whose feet only feel heavenly in a Birkenstock but that want to wear other style shoes!

Phenomenal for flat feet fallen arches. Better support than Superfeet. Have them in my duty boots, cowboy boots, running shoes. Heck I love them so much I just ordered a pair of sandals. PAIN FREE at last

I have flat feet and these inserts are great for preventing pain when on your feet all day. I can fit them in my boots, sneakers, but not really any smaller shoes. Definitely would recommend these!

I wear a size 36 in Birkenstocks so ordered 36 in the insole. Heel cup and arch support are spot on. The blue liner is a tad short (1/4") at the toe in my sneakers but just right in my hiking boots. I'm not sure it would work to order a size up to get length in the blue liner without compromising where the cork arch support hits my foot. But it fits in all my shoes (some are snug). For the sneakers, I use the sneaker liner over the cork heel cup, rather than the blue liner and it works fine. I supinate/ underpronate and this keeps my foot and heel stable. No heel, metatarsil or knee pain since I have been using these.

While the heel cup is nice, the blue insert is no better than cutting a piece of cardboard to put in your shoe. The pic is misleading. It is thin and has zero padding and in the pic it appears to have this awesome arch support, but it isn't rigid or supportive - it just flattens out when you put your foot on it. Not worth the $$. Zero neuroma relief for me.

I just bought my second pair of these because I love them. My foot tendons tend to get aches and pains unless I wear Birkenstocks, and these liners expand my footwear options. I tried sizing up based on reviews, but found that my usual size (38) for Birkenstocks worked best. The blue part is not super cushion-y, so if you want more cushion, you might want to try getting the cork heel separately (or just use the cork part with your athletic shoe's insole).

I've been having forefoot pain because I've lost my forefoot arch (another joy of getting older). These are one of the few shoe inserts that actually has a metatarsal arch. I used them on a nine-mile hike today and my feet don't hurt. Very happy. I'm actually on the website to order another pain for my running shoes. They are expensive though.

This insole almost worked for me. The Birkenstock footbed is always comfortable, but the blue cover is not padded at all, and I need some padding under my bony feet. If it had been padded, it would have been perfect.

These work for me. I was having foot pain when hiking or walking due to bone changes from bunions. My feet were comfortable in Birkenstock sandals or clogs so I thought I would try these inserts. They position my heel, support my high arch, and keep me from putting too much pressure on my toes. I use the size 41 inserts for my size 10 women's hiking boots as well as my size 9.5 running shoes. I remove the original insole in the boots/shoes and the 2-piece Birkenstock Sport Arch Supports fit very well. I walk comfortably with these and am very pleased.

This insole has great arch support but as has been mentioned before the raised metatarsal appearance merely represents a hollow shell. I used an adhesive metatarsal pad and filled in the area where I needed metatarsal support and that has worked well. My favorite insole.

These give me the support I need, all the way down to my toes (with the metatarsal bar) and go in all of my running/walking/working shoes. Of course, they are ridiculously expensive, but they are my feet after all. I've never put them in dress shoes. I can't believe I have to rate the style of a shoe insert. There is no style.

Excellent insoles! I cannot underline the difference of the comfort and bridge support. Other insoles are good, but they usually don't last, start becoming soft and begin to hurt. Is a perfect insole for someone who suffers from plantar fasciitis.

These insoles are excellent. They provide both firm arch support and cushioning. I removed the manufacturer's insoles from my New Balance training shoes and my Footjoy golf shoes and replaced them with these. I have fallen arches and Morton's neuroma, so these are a big help. I bought several pair to make it easier for me to always have them when I need them.

I really wanted to make these work in my walking/running shoes due to my plantar fasciitis, but I just don't think you can attempt to put a cork footbed into a shoe with a lot of its own padding and hope to create a running Birkenstock...

Fit perfectly in my work boots. The characteristic Birkenstock arch support hit exactly in the right part of my arch. I was worried the two pieces ( cork heel cup & foam insole) would slide apart inside my boots, but they stayed put just fine, even after a hard day of pulling pallets and kicking them into place. I haven't noticed how they handle moisture (my nice way of saying foot sweat) yet, though I don't have any complaints so far. They add Birkenstock sandal-level comfort, arch support, and heel support to my heavy work boots. I'm very happy with them so far.

These insoles have saved my last two pairs of sneakers, different brands. I had read the reviews by people with feet that might be even worse than mine (hard to believe, I know), and thought I'd give them a try. They make my big, multi-problem feet feel... good! I'm about to order another pair, so I don't have to switch them from one pair to another. Then I'm going to go for a walk!

Where have you been all my life! I haven't been able to find a sneaker/inset combo to ever work for my very high arches and I'm very happy to have found these.
