Customer Reviews Birkenstock Birko Sport Arch Support - Sport

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.

My feet have been through the wringer. With a distal osteotomy and torn ligament on one foot and plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on the other, I cannot tolerate any shoes but Birkenstocks. Based upon other reviews, I thought these inserts would be a good alternative to the custom orthotics that I was told to get and enable me to wear something other than Birks sandals all winter. They did not work for me in my running shoes because, apparently, those shoes just will not work for me. But once I put them in god awful looking orthopedic tennis shoes, I was good to go. Like all Birkenstocks cork products, it is taking awhile to break them in and get them to be super comfy but I expected that to be the case. After about a month, they are starting to get that feel that I enjoy from all of my Birkenstocks shoes. I am pleased with the combination of these insoles and my special shoes and am even able to start jogging again. That's pretty huge considering that I couldn't even walk to the end of our driveway without too much pain a year ago! The only disappointment is that I cannot fit the insoles and my foot into my tighter fitting boots at the same time. I wish the cork extended all the way through the toe bar portion of the insole for a total Birkenstocks feel and support.

These are great! Fit well in my Keen sport shoes and provide excellent support. Worth the price. Easy to change into other shoes.

I've only had these for a couple of weeks, but so far they feel great. It's nice to be able to put these insoles in non-Birkenstocks shoes and feel the comfort of Birkenstocks! I ordered the same size insoles that I order in Birkenstocks Boston shoes, and they feel the same. I typically wear a size 8 shoe and a size 38 in Birkenstocks.
