The Superfeet website doesn't do a great job in explaining the different models (colors). I picked the black inserts b/c they are described as being made for dress shoes. I later spoke to a Superfeet product rep at a marathon expo who explained that the differences relate primarily to the height of the various models with black being the flatest (event with an arch) so that they fit best in a dress shoe. The orange, green and blue models raise the heel and arch higher off the sole the shoe that you are using so are better for running shoes and boots that allow for this through lacing. Anyway, the black model works well so far in replacing the older grey model that was wearing. My plantar fasciitis is definitely better since I started using these.

I own superfeet blue, orange and green as well. I found the blue and black are better suited for everyday shoes. For sports activities, I prefer orange or green.

I have flat feet and recently started experiencing pain in my feet (pangs of pain in the tops of my feet). My doctor suggested I get insoles and better walking shoes, so I went to REI. The very helpful salesperson showed me how my arch had "fallen" and that the insoles would make me feel much better. After trying on several different versions of the SuperFeet insoles, we settled on the black/super-thin ones, because they fit best in the kinds of shoes I wear (flats, flat boots, etc.). I have worn them basically every day for the past five months, and I'm so happy that my foot pain is gone. I highly recommend these--especially for those flat-footed ladies who still want to be able to wear cute shoes. Just slip these right in and keep on going!

Now, if I only I could find the right insole for heels...

I have extremely flat feet and was hoping these insoles would provide support in hiking shoes. I was extremely disappointed that I began feeling pain in my feet after only a half-days use. These provide a bit of arch support, but not enough for me. I could see and feel that my feet were still heavily pronating while wearing these. I'm returning them now. If you have flat feet, I recommend the Spenco Polysorb Total Support instead.

These are the best supports on the market, for the price, that I have been able to find. Superfeet were recommended by my doctor for my plantar fasciitis and general support needs. If I do not have firm support, then my knees ache, my feet ache, and my back aches. I purchased Spenco insoles, which felt great and comfy and cushiony, but was in severe pain after a couple of hours. If you need SUPPORT, this is the way to go.

They make all my shoes comfortable. You have to remove the insoles of the shoes before inserting these in your shoes. They are very thin and not cushiony but they hold your heel and whole foot in a very comfortable position. I have two pairs. Also, they are anti-microbial - even so, I still let them 'air-out' outside of my shoes to keep them fresh.

I've owned this less than a month, so the results can't be completely definitive yet. However...

As a retail salesman in a brick+mortar store, I'm on my feet all day. I'm supposed to wear dress shoes, but I get away with black/white skate shoes (much more comfortable, much more support) as long as middle management isn't paying the store a visit. My feet ache towards the end of the day, but weren't absolutely killing me like if I was wearing dress shoes with zero support. My shoes are about 2 years old and in good repair, but the soles were worn down practically paper-thin. I figured it would be a more cost-efficient investment to buy decent aftermarket soles instead of new shoes. The only aftermarket in-soles I was familiar with are Dr.Scholls because of their advertising campaign and mixed reviews, and custom (good but expensive) ones through Goodfeet because my family has done online marketing for them in the past. About 30 seconds of research on Amazon pointed me to Superfeet.

My feet aren't completely flat, but have a low arch. I read multiple reviews saying Superfeet's sizing/naming system is goofy and not to be trusted, and to either go into a store and get fitted there, or if you're guessing then guess 1 arch size smaller than you normally would. I went with the second approach, and so it looks as though I've guessed right. The black ones aren't really flat like they say, they just have a very low arch. This is 'sort of' visible from the pictures on Amazon, but is much more apparent looking at them in person, and wearing them.

These are firmer/stiffer than I expected. The surface fabric is smooth and has a fabric-like consistency, underneath is a foam layer, and underneath that at the heel of the foot is a hard shell-like plastic. It looks/feels generally durable. Superfeet says there's a break-in period, which I found to be correct. For the first 3 days, I only wore these for 3-5 hours at a time instead of all day, and also took them out before going to the gym. After that initial period, they now feel natural/normal. Supposedly this period can last up to 2 weeks.

A doctor recommended these black (they are color coded) Superfeet inserts for my foot issue in dress shoes I wear to occasions and they work as well as the very un-dressy diabetic shoe and custom insert that he ordered for me. I save $20 over the price at athletic shoe stores.

I read the first review and bought the black insoles, worked well for me. My knees felt better after using these insoles.

I bought a pair of Nike's that didn't have enough support for me. I had previously used the green ones in my Sauconies, but the green ones did not offer enough support. The black ones are great for flat feet like mine, and am also an overpronater, but this gives me the support I need. Highly recommended. Could be a little cheaper, but worth it.
