Superfeet All-Purpose Support Low Arch Insoles (Black) - Trim-To-Fit Orthotic Shoe Inserts for Thin, Tight Shoes - Professional Grade - 9.5-11 Men / 10.5-12 Women

Con arcos muy elevados es difícil encontrar buenas plantillas o zapatos; con éstas puedo caminar sin problemas y como son de bajo volumen se pueden usar con cualquier zapato sin que el pie sea empujado hacia las agujetas. Lo encontré a buen precio, el precio normal sí es caro.

Superfeet are constructed of a hard plastic shell in their back portion that is covered on top by a cloth-covered foam pad of varying degrees of thickness. I have tried three (Black, Blue and Green) so far and found all three wound up being perfect in a different kind of shoe. Since they are rather pricey I thought I'd detail my experience and with any luck it'll help you decide which version you should start with. I have been buying gel insoles for years and have always been a big fan of that luxurious cushion. However I am spending more and more of my time in outdoor activities and, having high arches, I know whats in store for me if I don't address arch support. Gel insoles do not do this well. Superfeet are NOT cushy thick gel insoles. You won't get that kind of short term comfort but you will get the long term benefits of arch support. If transitioning from gel insoles... don't freak out and give these a chance before you run in the other direction. They're comfortable, but in a different way. My experience has been that the effectiveness of a pair of Superfeet varies depending on the shoe you are working with. I wear 10.5 D shoes and weigh 245 lbs. The E size works without any trimming in all of my shoes. I just slip them in. I originally added a pair of green Superfeet (high arch, thick-for-Superfeet cushion) to my Lowa Zephyr 8" boots to replace the thin-but-reasonably effective insole that came with that boot. After two full days I decided Green was too much arch for me, and the cushioning, while nice, was just a hair too much for my feet to have a roomy fit in the toe box. I moved the Green soles to a pair of Bass casual lace-up shoes that my feet sit pretty deep into. The Green soles were perfect there. They have stayed in those shoes, which I often wear all day. The arch support has broken in a little, being a bit over the top for the first day but not noticeable after Day 2. After this break-in I tried moving them back to the Lowas and no dice. Still not right for them. The Lowas had some arch support built into their structure already so the Green added too much. To try again I went in the other direction and purchased a set of Black Superfeet in E (low arch, almost no cushion) and plugged them in. This time, they fit perfectly in the boot and provided a very modest amount of arch support. In fact, in those boots I was basically doing only a little better than the factory insoles. The point of the exercise was to improve support, so I tried the Blacks in a few other shoes and they were the perfect addition to my more or less flatfooted leather dress loafers. My third and last pair (so far) was a set of Blue Superfeet (medium arch, medium cushion), again in E. I plugged these first into some tennis shoes and - very comfortable. The arch this time nicely hugged my feet and gave good support. Put them into the boots and that finally squared them away. Nice and snug against my arch without feeling like I have a baseball stuffed in my shoe.

I find this brand as good as the custom orthotics I wear. If you don't have health insurance try Superfeet b efore paying the crazy pricing for custom ones. Docker makes a good walking shoe where the inserts just slip out easily, allowing these to replace them. If your shoe has glued in inserts, some can be carefully pulled out - slowly, or you can use a heat gun which really helps the process. I also use the green ones from Superfeet for running shoes - a little thicker. These black ones are for dress or tighter fitting shoes.

I usually have a lot of trouble with stiff orthotic inserts, because I have completely fallen arches since I was a child which barely show any arch with the toes flexed. In the past I've suffered from plantar fasciitis and iliotibial band syndrome which were corrected by custom orthotics when I was younger. I have problems wearing shoes that aren't designed specifically for orthotic inserts, or are of themselves made for comfort/extended walking. I put these insoles into a pair of new boots that I love dearly but which have a very hard footbed with barely any arch support, and so was already sending familiar twinging warning signs the first day I was wearing them. The boots are a snug fit in the midfoot and toe area and the insole is sewn in (not removable) so I had to find insoles that were slim enough to fit without compromising support. Yes these Superfeet Black insoles are more expensive than your typical Dr Scholls or Spencos. But the moment I stood on them to try them out, it was a case of "where have you been all my life?!" Most stiff arch insoles hurt the arch areas of my foot after 10-20 mins of walking, and continue hurting --- it's discouraging when everything else feels comfortable BUT the arch area. With the Superfeet Black insoles, I could feel the firm but flexible arch support WITHOUT any pain! It's like a miracle for a 100% flat-footed person like me to be able to wear insoles without having to suffer from the arch pain. It has been between a rock and a hard place with wearing ONLY cushion insoles (which cause my fallen arches to eventually ache as well as other issues related to posture/gait) or wearing other arch support insoles, which provide correction to my arches but TOO much, so they hurt. These are something, at least for now, fantastic. I bought a size larger than my shoe size because I saw a video where someone was being fitted for these and had to go two sizes up to fit the length of her arch -- that was more important than the actual length of the insole, which makes sense since you can just trim off the excess. If this comfort and support level lasts (will update if it doesn't) I'll be getting Superfeet Blacks for all my shoes from now on. If you're also flat-footed to the point where your wet footprint shows zero arch at all, and you've had the same pain when trying the "hard" arch support inserts, I would recommend trying these. These also have the "hard" semi-flexible plastic arch structures, but they're lower than anything else I've tried and fit very comfortably. (Caveat: Since all feet are different, YMMV of course.)

They are very comfortable, and very satisfied
