 Comfortable, but unfortunately not durable |

I do a lot of city walking, on rare occasions up to 20 miles a day, so I'm forever looking for the perfect insole. I miss my old Sorbothane insoles (100% Sorbothane from heel to toe), which were heavy but very comfortable. These are the next best thing. They have one of the deepest heel cups I've found on any insole. The only way to get more heel support is with wraparound Tuli heel cups. Arch support isn't quite as high as I'd like, but too high would be uncomfortable for many people, like stepping on a rounded rock with each step.
Too bad these aren't more durable. After about five months of use, the plastic frames that hold all the various foam inserts has cracks in many places. It'll probably last another three or four months, but I wish Spenco (or rather their Chinese contractor) had used a tougher, less brittle plastic for the frames. |
Better Than Superfeet? I Say Yes!

I was skeptical about paying over $20 or more for shoe insoles. I asked myself why should a piece of plastic cost so much? I finally made the plunge and bought the black and blue colored Superfeet insoles. They did help and were better than the original insoles on my shoes. Are they really worth the $30+ for the insoles? I would say no. They offered great arch support and that was about it. I now needed more forefoot cushioning with the Superfeet insoles because their arch support was now making my feet apply more pressure on my forefoot. I saw these Spenco insoles on Amazon and decided to give them a try since they were cheaper. The photos also looked like they had cushion around the whole insole, something the more expensive Superfeets did not have. These Spenco insoles turned out to be better than the Superfeet insoles. They offered the same arch support as the Superfeet insoles and they also offered more cusion around the forefoot area. Are the Spenco insoles worth the price? I say yes. If these were the same price as the Superfeet insoles, I would still buy them.
I currently use these in my Merrell hiking boots and average 10-12 miles per hikes. |
Great Support

| Spenco comes out on top, after trying numerous insoles, including custom! I find them excellent for everyday wear and a couple weeks hiking in Denali Nat. Park was much easier too. Be sure to take the "issue" insole out of your shoe unless you need it for a spacer. These inserts will make the shoe fit nice and snug. I've about recovered from plantar fasciitis, but when it was its worst, these insoles saved the day. Highly recommended. |

| I wore these inserts in my hiking boots on a 75 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia and my feet didn't hurt. That's all I ask of a pair of inserts. |

These insoles are the best I have ever tried and I have tried several brands before buying these. Everyday walking became painful for me in the year 2000. I went to see a podiatrist about my foot pain. I felt like I was walking directly on the bones of my feet, as if, there was no cushioning at all. The doctor explained that as you get older, you lose the fat cushions in your feet and that is what was happening to me. Well, these insoles have given me comfort and support in my walking and standing for the first time in many years. I am so happy that I found these insoles.
