I work out a lot, but I'm built kinda like a linebacker, and find that after doing stairmaster or treadmill, my feet are usually pretty sore in the arch area. So, I'm a prime candidate for needing more arch support, something that Superfeet are supposed to give you.

They do cup your heel just about right and follow the shape/last of the shoe well. Properly-sized, they will give you MODERATELY more support/less soreness, though they certainly don't eliminate soreness- they're no magic bullet. Still, better than other inserts I've tried.

The one thing I don't like (aside from them being a bit pricey for what they are) is that Superfeet's idea of what is a high or low-arched foot is a bit off. No matter what it says on the box, the various Superfeet models actually work out like this (as of their early '09 lineup):

Green- SUPER high-arched insoles, only good for ppl with REALLY high arches, will be torture for anyone else who has 'em on their feet for more than a few minutes. Gitmo-approved. o_0

Blue- It says "ideal for low to medium-arched feet" on the back of the box, but its more like 'ideal for medium to high' arches, actually. I have fairly low-arched (but not flat) feet, and while the blues felt okay in the store, after using them for a few days it was quite obvious that these were *not* it. I felt like I was walking around in high heels or something... definitely TOO MUCH arch support, to the point of being mildly painful. Not good.

Black- These are allegedly for 'flat or sensitive' feet. I'd say instead they're the TRUE Superfeet product for low-arched feet. These are the ones that ultimately ended up working for me, but I am annoyed that I wasted money on the blues. In fact, the salesperson had tried to talk me into the GREENS at first, even after seeing my feet, but a few laps around the store showed me the horror of that. WTH?

Basically, what I think is going on is that what Superfeet is trying to sell you is SUPPORT, so they want to get you into the highest/'most supportive' insoles they can, so that you go, "Gee, wow, what a difference, so much support."

The problem with that, of course, is that you end up basically KILLING your feet, because going too high in the arch on these things will just mess you up, ESPECIALLY if you're heavier-than-average, like me. What feels about right in the store will seem TOO HIGH after a few days, trust me.

In short, these are moderately helpful, and deserve kudos for being better than most other insoles out there, but go one support/height level LOWER than what the box tells you, particularly if you're heavier than average (muscle or fat).

Again, IGNORE THE BOX, the REAL sizing is:

- greens for very high arches
- blue for medium or high arches
- blacks for low arches (anything even slightly below medium, really)

Flat feet, I dunno, likely just a *shoe* with good arch support, no special insoles.

Hope this is helpful.

I tried Dr Scholls and Orthpidics shoe insoles and Superfeet is far superior to both. But it is also 2-3 times the cost of either one.

I am an avid golfer and I like to walk the golf course as an exercise. Becuase walking through an 18 hole golf course is equivalent to walking 2 miles in 4 hours, the foot can be very sore afterwards. To allevitate my footpain, I decided to use Superfeet in a very comfortable Nike golf shoe.

Superfeet was way more comfortable than either Dr Scholls or Orthipidics in the same shoe. Furthermore, my foot was hardly sore after an 18 holes of golf.

The only downside of these soles is they are slippery, so your foot tends to slide within the shoe. But this can be ameliorated by tying the shoe little more tightly.

The bottom line: if substantially reducing footpain from a long arduous walk is your primary concern, then these are the best if you want to pay for them.

I was recommended these by my podiatrist for some joint issues in my foot. They've improved the way I walk immensely in the month that I've had them, and I'm in the latter half of marathon training. They hold up well, but they are not designed for wide feet. I'm a 2E-4E, and they don't take up the whole width of the shoe in the toe-box area. It isn't too bad, but is noticeable if I move my big toe the right way. Why, why, why not make the insole about a 1/2 wider at the end so this wouldn't be a problem? Just a heads up... this is not a cushiony insole. It's designed to force your foot to roll correctly.

With all the reviews about how comfortable these insoles are including one that said "walking on air" I thought they would offer great cushion for tired and hurting feet. These insoles actually have NO cushioning and are very hard, stiff plastic with a thin foam overlay. I have a medium arch and was hoping for both arch support and some cushioning/shock absorption. Maybe they are meant for arch support and nothing else? They offered no cushioning at all for my heel or the ball of my foot. At this kind of price I think it would be best to try them if you can before buying.

Ill keep this short and simple, if you have flat feet or are subject to overpronation for any other reason, these insoles will prevent some serious knee pain, especially when hiking with a backpack. They do not however, provide that much cushioning. If you have a decent sole on your shoe, it shouldn't matter. The price is a bit more than I would prefer, but they are worth it. As a side note, you can find these for 29.95 at a store front, so try and get them for $30 w/ free shipping to save some coin.

When I found my favorite jogging shoes will be discontinued, I decided to purchase a pair for the future use. At the same time, I purchased this Superfeet insoles (Green) because it received such a high rating. Also, I've been using one of good insoles and I definitely see some benefit from them.

When I went to a jog with this insoles, I immediately felt the arch support is too high for me. I was hoping that either my foot or the insole will adjust somewhat, but after 3 miles, I have blisters on both feet. This insole has relatively harder plastic support.

There is nothing wrong with the product. In fact, I think it dampen the shock from the ground fairly well. I should have been careful when making a decision to purchase such a highly priced product (for insoles), and I just want to inform others that this insole may not be the one for you despite of the high review. I highly recommend you to try it first, if you can.

I have purchased 2 more pairs of these insoles after getting my first pair last summer. They are amazing! and they will last you a very long time. there's a style for every different foot shape so make sure you are getting the adequate pair for your feet. The reason I order more is because i have more shoes and it bugged me having to transfer the same insole from one shoe to another. STOP BUYING THE CHEAP ONES FROM WALMART!!!! if you have feet problems, invest on these insoles and pay no more than its value.

I spent a summer working on my feet 16 hours a day, 7 days a week and by September, had incredible pain in my feet. From the heels to where the arch of the foot is. So much that I was curling my feet, trying to walk on the outer edges of them to minimize the pain. I researched orthotics and found these, but decided to see my doctor first. Well I could have saved my $30 co-pay, because he recommended that I buy these from the hospital's drugstore!

It's very easy to fit these to your shoes. I just pulled out the insert that came with my shoe, and traced it onto the back of the Superfeet using a Sharpie. Then I cut it out on the inside of that line, very carefully. No problems, just don't do it hastily because you don't want to cut them too short and end up paying double.


They don't look like much, they're a relatively thin insert (compared to those 'regular' brands like Dr. Scholls that are heavily padded), so I was really skeptical that they'd have any impact. But they work! They're the only thing that's allowed me to be able to walk the 10 minutes to school without any issues. Before I used these, it was so painful just standing in the shower. I find that if I'm doing lengthy housework (barefooted) that my feet just begin to have a dull ache, especially in the heel. So sometimes I use the Superfeet designed for women's flats, and walk around in cotton flats.


I've been really surprised at how well these work. I didn't know why I doubted these to begin with, because the Dr. Scholls and others I've tried did absolutely nothing! It's been 9 months I can't imagine going anywhere without wearing these. If I'm walking for 1+ hours, my feet will ache a bit, but nowhere near where they were before. Well worth the $35, and this coming from a broke college student.

Tore my Achilles, had surgery and was recommended this insole by a therapist - in short, simply outstanding. Very comfortable and perfect for walking, rehab, or jogging!

I am on my feet for 12 hours/day, wear steel tip boots with metatarsal guards on concrete floors. I have heel pain called plantar fascitis, these inserts help. They are flat as a pancake when they arrive, but will form to your feet to correct your foot. Break them in a few hours a day for a few days before wearing all day. They don't have much cushion, but I recommend buying these and wearing socks by a company called Thorlo. The Thorlos socks have extra padding on the heel and front pad of the socks. Just get your shoes about a half size bigger with the padded socks. I will try the Orange Superfeet next, I'm getting tired of taking the inserts out of my workboots and into my sneakers.
