Dr. Scholl'sRun Active Comfort Insoles,Trim to Fit Inserts

I was pretty skeptical at first, this was the first time I had to get any insoles and didn't know if it was all hype or not. And for a bit, they just felt different, and I couldn't gauge as I was walking if they were truly helping anything. But as soon as I started running in them it all made sense. These are like having shock absorption pads built into the shoe. It's hard to describe otherwise, but I can feel they really help me avoid any further metatarsal injuries as I run, which is why I got them. It's like running on clouds, but walking feels about the same to me. Since I started with these my running performance increased dramatically as I didn't need to worry about an accidental injury again, plus it just felt nice. I'll buy these again if I get a second pair of running shoes!

I always would get very severe soreness/shin splints when I play basketball or any sport that requires me to run a lot, I believe it's due to me being flat footed and running very aggressively, like almost stomping sometimes. I played with these for the first time yesterday and today, the next day at the time of writing this my legs feel amazing even after hitting legs in the gym a day prior to playing. That shin pain I usually feel isn't there whatsoever and I feel like I can play again today. I'll see if they hold up but so far this is already an amazing purchase

I've been running for almost 15 years now, and I'm the type of runner that wears their shoes far longer than the manufacturer recommends (really, replace $140 shoes every 6 months?).I bought these insoles because I was using the stock shoe insoles, and had plantar fasciitis return. I figured it was worth a try. For my other shoes, I can never seem to find insoles I actually like. They are usually too "squishy" for my liking and just never feel right.These are definitely a little squishy, and feel odd when you first wear them. It felt like there was a "ball" just above my forefoot. It felt weird to walk or run in them, but I decided to give it a chance. It felt like something that would settle in ( and it did, can't feel it anymore). Arch support is good. It makes my shoes fit a bit more snug, which is good so my foot is not sliding around.If you're a runner and need to replace your shoes insoles- these are very good. My favorite is Ortholite, but these are 2nd and that's not a bad thing. Definitely get these if you are having pain! Worth it.

My husband loves these insoles. Provide him a lot of comfort for a fraction of the cost. He is on his feet a good chunk of hi work day in heavy steel tipped work boots. They last him quite a while. I just bought an extra pair since the price came down a bit. Just bought myself a pair.

I mean, they still have tread and other than being made paranoid by my running app that tells me I need to buy new shoes at a minimum of $80 (app prefers Asics. I appreciate the extra anxiety in my life. I just buy secondhand.), I have no problems. I'm 34 years young (problems on the way, I know), and log about 60 miles a month. Tore my ACL and meniscus years ago. I concede, I can't feel my menicuses (menisces? menisci? ...who cares, you know what I'm saying) being turned into grit. Soooo, I've opted for these in my past 4 pairs of shoes...until there is unsafe levels of tread left on the shoes (that's 2 pairs of running shoes, 1 pair of work shoes [learning young people], and some station boots [career change]). The construction of "running" brand shoes isn't impressive. They all have their trademarked names for the "technology," but uhh, PTFE (goretex/teflon) is a household name. I don’t know a household polymer name for comfy feet. I do know Dr. Scholl’s delivers 3 scoops in a chocolate waffle cone while The Shoe Company gives a taste on a popsicle stick and slaps a trademark on it. I'm probably a fool for buying anything other than what's out at Costco. How much support am I losing? It'd take some major facts to make me think these major running brand shoes are actually doing anything some off-brand can't (graphs and tables and stuff...with lots of colors). I mean is (your favorite shoe company) that invested in anything other than enticing you to think it’s shoes are great? There are plenty of ways to do that without added material/labor costs that are much cheaper than making decent shoes. Anyway, these insoles are fantastic. They put my mind at ease, and feel like a legitimate attempt by a company investing in supporting my lower extremities for their own financial gain. Everybody wins. I like the “high vis” green color that I can see when I am not wearing them too. It's like a landing strip for my ground beaters. They feel great, and it’s your fault if they don’t because you didn’t follow directions. I can feel the wonderful squishiness without feeling like I'm going to squish uncontrollably and roll my ankle...again (they won’t prevent that…also your and my fault). At the end of the run...it's the end of the run. I squish my way inside home and go to work with my DR. SCHOLL'S working-guy-man-bear-occasionally-unsure! insoles. I approve this message, and I wish someone paid me.

Unfortunately, these were a bit more thick than I'd expected. I could see them being great for most people, but in my particular running shoes, they were just too thick and made the shoes unwearable. I think they're worth a shot of you need insoles, just be aware that they might not be quite right for every shoe.
