5.0 out of 5 stars These are great for my casual shoes!, September 6, 2010

This review is from: Spenco® PolySorb® Cross Trainer Insoles - #4 (M10-11 / W11-12) (Health and Beauty)

I use the Spenco Walker/Runner Insoles in tennis shoes. The Cross Trainer isn't quite as thick and fit better in shoes with less room in them. So, I use the Cross Trainer Insoles in my casual shoes and absolutely love them! I currently have a pair of Spenco insoles in four different pairs of shoes. Amazon has the best price I've been able to find.

I've had occassional problems over the years with Plantar Faciitis. Each time I've injured a foot, it was because I wasn't wearing one of these insoles and didn't have proper support from the shoes I was wearing. My feet are otherwise fairly normal/healthy.

I have tried other insoles (Super Feet, Dr Scholls and one other sold in brick & mortar shoe stores, can't remember the brand) and like these the best. The Spencos have more padding and just a little more arch support which make them much more comfortable. There are no noise or squeek problems with the Cross Trainer or Walker/Runner versions like have been reported with the Spenco Total Support insoles. I will say that I tried a pair of the Powerstep Pinnacle orthotics after one injury. They were great until my foot healed enough to go back to the Spenco insoles. The Powersteps are the only real orthotic I've ever worn.

One lesson I have learned is that shoes and insoles wear out. Now I replace my insoles every year or so. Doing this helps extend the lifespan of my shoes while providing proper support for my feet.

Highly recommended! I will buy these again!

Awesome insoles, the best I've ever worn. Others hurt my feet so bad it felt like they were on fire, but I can hike for miles and miles in these. I have a set in my hiking boots, my trail shoes, and my everyday dress shoes these things are so great.

I walk, run and play basketball almost daily and figured a product like this could enhance my experience. I purchased two pairs to try. I used one pair on my basketball sneakers and the support made a tangible difference in the stress levels that my feet felt as I played. I also tried a pair in my cross-trainer sneakers. It was uncomfortable wearing them with my cross-trainers. The arch support dug too far into my arch. Probably because the sneakers have built-in arch support and the added support from this was too much. Just for kicks, I also placed them in a pair of casual low-top sneakers and walked in them for a few hours. They felt great in my casual sneakers. I think it's a very good product. Provides good support especially in the heel. Good support on the arch, just be careful about what type of arch support your current shoes offer. If your current shoes already have decent/good arch support, these may be overkill.
