Sof Sole Insoles Men's High Arch Performance Full-Length Foam Shoe Insert

I have a fairly rare auto-immune issue called Delayed Pressure Urticaria which involves getting painful deep tissue hives due to extended pressure on any body part. I primarily have issues with my feet that have always showed up a couple days after a long day on my feet, walking in sandals, or wearing cleats, etc. . . I have had issues with this for 20 years and tried tons of different orthotics/arch supports/inserts/etc. . (not correctly diagnosed for the first 15 because everyone thought the issues were related to my high arches). I stumbled on these about 5 years ago and they made an absolute huge difference for me. I buy a new pair every time i buy a new pair of shoes and immediately swap our the junk inserts the manufacturers use for these. The combination of arch support and cushioning has dramatically reduced my issues. I still have problems occasionally (especially when i am braking in a new pair of shoes) but i am at least 90% better with these. Couple nit picks that i wish were better - the red part on the bottom can get pretty sticky, and a lot of junk sticks to it. This isn't really a problem unless you are swapping these to another pair of shoes (which i have to do sometimes for snow boots or something). It also leaves some red color on the bottom of your shoes (which also isn't really a problem as you would never see it if you put the original inserts back in. Also i wish they lasted a bit longer than they do. i tend to wear out the surface of these a bit before my shoes wear out (overall i am pretty hard on inserts and shoes though).

In an effort to help others with plantar fasciitis, let me tell you what worked for me after 8 months of PF, 2 dr visits and 4 weeks of PT -- it wasn't the dr and PT, although my physical therapist did help. PT had me do ankle pumps (30 when I wake up each morning) and eccentric calf raises every other night 3 x 12 with an aerobic stepper (KLB Sport 27" Adjustable Exercise Equipment Step Platform). Every other night 3 x 12 x 2 of the first two exercises with this ProStretch Calf Stretcher and Foot Rocker (The Original). I continue to do all of these every other night. While conti8nuing that I have used a let's try everything approach to end this ASAP. While the exercises have helped what really put me from 70% better to 95% was the following: Plantar Fasciitis Posterior Night Splint (MARS Wellness) -- much better than an earlier one I had tried from Futuro. This looks big and bulky but actually is more comfortable at night. The futuro also made parts of my foot go numb. Beurer Foot Massager With Built in Heat Function, Shiatsu like Features -- use this 45 mins a day at night with heat. I use it lightly at first until the foot warms up (5-10 mins) then apply pressure to the heel area. PT explained there are ligaments and fibers that need to be disrupted/torn up a bit in the heel. This works wonders for that. It is a bit painful at first but the heel gets numb as you gently increase the pressure down on the heel.. I hope to not need to do this forever, so far about 1 week, and it seems to be helping a lot. Sof Sole Arch Full Length Comfort High Arch Shoe Insole for Men and Women -- I also tried and like SuperFeet orange and yellow. These to me are better as the heel is cushioned. I use these now in all my shoes and footwear. They help but the are not a cure. Hopefully once I am back to 100% these will help stave off future flare ups. Fish oil supplement -- 1 per day. This is an anti-inflammatory without the long term problems of using an NSAID daily. Penetrex Pain Relief Therapy -- not sure it does anything but am continuing to try this. If nothing else it feels good to apply 2 or 3 times a day. TheraBand Foot Roller -- PT recommended this but I did not find it helpful. It does not allow enough pressure on the heel to disrupt whatever is going on there that needs to change. I replaced use of this with the Beurer Foot Massager which for me works much better. I hope this helps someone else with these issues. I am hoping this regimen will fully cure the problem in another 2-3 weeks.

Just received this and opened it right up. They do not have lines for the sizes as guides to cut them down. Bummer! They are pretty close to size 9. I got these for my Skechers Steel Toed Work Boot. I took out the stock inserts and lined them up with these and used it as a guide to cut it to match the stock insert. It was too big to fit right out of the box. I have a size 8 1/2" foot but usually wear a size 9 in shoes. Putting these in this shoes made the shoe fit me better. The arch support is pretty drastic and i am still getting used to it. But overall they are a lot more soft than the stock inserts. I feel like i bought a new shoe. It is going to take some insetting used to but i am sure my feet will appreciate the support they give. UPDATE: Have had them on for 5 hours now and my foot is getting used to them. They feel even better now. My foot wasn't used to extra arch support but it is liking the added support. Feels really good on the arches. I will be buying these from now on. SOLD! Get you some!

For context, I'm a runner who wears US size 11.5M shoes. I've been fighting plantar fasciitis since April. There are basically two shoe solutions for PF: get a solid "stability" shoe and maybe enhance it with a thinner insole, or a thinner shoe and a thicker insole. I've tried various forms of the first approach, to little avail. This is my first shot at the second approach, with these in a pair of Nike Air Zoom Pegasus shoes. The first thing I noticed is that they fit in my shoes perfectly, without any cutting. The second thing is that *the arch is in the right place*. Most insoles I've tried have had the arch too far back, digging into the heel instead of really supporting the arch. They're pretty cushiony, but not so big that they make my shoes feel too tight. Running with these has been more comfortable than anything else I've tried so far. To be honest I'm probably on the cusp of whether I need the high or medium arch. With the high arch I can definitely feel the arch bump a bit, but it's actually kind of helpful. It makes me more mindful of how I'm landing and moving my feet, which is a good thing. When I do land a bit more on my heel (rare), the extra gel cushion helps too. I'd give five stars, but I don't really have enough miles on them to justify that yet. If they continue as well as they've started, I'll come back and revise that.

Discovered these and wear them in all my sneakers and closed toe shoes. Better than expensive orthotics. Long lasting with support and cushioning. Easy to cut down to women’s wide sizes.

Im still testing these in some boots, but I did not like them in my running shoes. They did not feel natural in the heel area, they did not offer enough arch support, and did not offer the comfort that my two successful models offered. (see review below). They also stink something terrible which I have no idea why, but they are made from a very stinky material. They may however work in boots so I am still testing these out. I really wanted to write an in depth helpful review so that I could actually try and help people find some relief for their foot, back, and knee pain that they might be experiencing like I do. Before I start, let me say that from my research and testing of many different OTC orthotic insoles and arch supports I do not think they are all bad or all good. I think they have to be matched to the type of foot you have. Having said that, it can be frustrating to continuously spend money on insoles that offer no help. I have not tried everything on the market, but I have tried many and here are the results that have helped me. First, I have a size 10 foot that is wide. My foot actually measures 9.5 and E in width on a brannock device but through experience I always buy a 10 2E running shoe. Even then certain styles might be a bit snug in the width for me. I am 5'11" and weigh 194. So over the years from gaining weight, being on my feet all day in the medical field, and being pretty active, my arches have fallen. Until I found out they had fallen, I never understood why after being on my feet all day the pain in my feet, ankles, and knees, was downright terrible. Then I started trying the different inserts and some helped but most were a waste of money. You can research on the net how fallen arches contribute to this pain. For my condition, I tend to need a higher arch support that will not collapse when running and staying on my feet all day. So began my search. For my type of condition, the two best products that have worked for me are the blue colored powerstep pinnacle and the Dr. Scholls # 430 insert sold on the foot mapping machines at walmart. I do realize that these are not custom inserts, but I am trying to avoid the expensive orthopedist route as long as I can. So the powerstep pinnacle has the right amount of the medium to high arch support that I require. I can feel the lump under my arch as some have complained about, but this seems to be exactly what I need to feel relatively pain free after being on my feet all day or running my miles each evening. These do take a day or so to get used to, but they have helped me very well for the most part. Do I feel like I'm 18 and problem free again....no, but its the best I've felt yet short of spending a fortune and going the custom route. I have worn these insoles two ways. On shoes that run big I have placed them on top of the factory insole which gave just a little extra cushion and I have also removed the factory insole and used just the powerstep insole by itself. These are strictly running shoes that I have tested these in, but I have no doubt they would work in boots as well. I do not think they would fit in dress shoes. As a side note I also tried the maroon colored pinnacle max but the wedge on the bottom of the orthotic over compensated too much for my level of pronation and it was uncomfortable for me. I use the blue inserts in a stability type running shoe and this has been the best combination for me. The other insert that worked well for me was the 430 Dr.Scholls on top of the factory insole as these are 3/4 length. So for my type of foot, I have tried the green super feet which did not offer enough arch support but were very comfortable for someone who may require less support. The pinnacle maxx were great except for that square plate underneath which over corrected my pronation and was uncomfortable. I tried the Dr. Scholls arch pain relief which were terrible compared to the other 430's. They did not fit well in any shoe and the arch support while high, did not ever seem to fall in the right position for my foot. I tried the envelop 3/4 orthotics and these did not work well either. They too just never fit in the shoe right or felt natural. I tried the VIVEsole 3/4 length and these felt like they had no arch support at all and were so narrow they kept shifting around in the shoe. I am still waiting to receive some spenco's and some prolab p3 semi customs to try and see how they do. I will rate the pinnacles at a 4 because they feel about as good as my #430 Dr.Scholls and they do help a lot, but I'm sure compared to a custom they can only do so much. They were by far the best OTC I have come across in my testing so far. So if you need the higher support from fallen arches like I do, these may help you. Remember, you will feel the highness under your arch which you get used to. and you should wear them intermittently the first few days to adapt to them. Don't be afraid to try them with or without the factory insole left in place.

Put doctors suggested these very well fit in my shoes feel great

Very nice

Son de buena calidad, parece que son el remplazo de la versión previa, las rojas con suela amarilla y talón también rojo

These work well for those with high arches. The forefoot could use a touch more padding IMO, but the heel is very supportive and the arch curve is significant. Another plus here is the price of this brand, Sofsole. Not out to gauge ya like some others. Recommended. Update June 19/21: I've tried several brands and these SofSole High Arch stay at the top for me in comfort. It's the forefoot, under the balls of the feet, metatarsal area. I measured a whopping 5mm of cushion and that's the key. Like many other insole brands, the heel is great, stable and cushiony. This model has a pronounced arch support too, so if you have high arches, these are nice. But the 5mm thickness in the forefoot is the best so far and you can feel the difference. Highly recommended.

unexpectedly fast...... very happy, it was a nice surprise cause I did not expect it came in a couple of days.

very comfortable insoles

Comfortable with high arch & makes my husbands work shoes far more comfortable. His foot issues have improved significantly
