 not for everyone, but are really great for many people Dec 31, 2009

If you're just looking for basic replacement insoles for your sneakers, perhaps with a little more padding, these Sole insoles are probably not for you. There are lots of other products on the market that will do what you want for less money. Start by checking out some of the drug store brands that work fairly well for not a lot money.
The Sole insoles are for people that need a lot of arch support. Without that arch support, you may not be able to stand or walk comfortably, especially for hours at a time. There are other arch support insoles on the market and I have tried several of them. The problem with the other products is that different people have different shaped feet and all the other products (that I have tried) have the arch support in a fixed position that doesn't match the shape of my arches. The big advantage of Sole is that the arch support molds to fit the shape of your foot, guaranteeing that it will be more comfortable for you than all the fixed-arch products. Also, you can tune them to have different amounts of support for your left vs. right feet.
Sole makes different insoles with different amounts of padding. The Ultra model has the most padding, which is good for hiking boots, since your feet will be pounding on rocky trails for miles at a time. The extra padding is also nice if you are trying to fit low-volume feet into high-volume shoes. If you're wearing snug-fitting running shoes or bicycling shoes or skate boots or ski boots, then the thinner Sole insoles are a better choice.
Prices on these things vary from retailer to retailer. $45 is a lot of money for an insole, especially since a lot of my shoes don't cost that much. I was glad to find them at a good discount at Amazon. Also check the Sole website for occasional manufacturer closeouts.

Fantastic insoles! May 02, 2010
By Vanessa
I have been suffering with foot pain for several years now due to plantar fasciitis. I have tried just about everything I can to help relieve this problem. It is not going away, but I must say that when I wear my tennis shoes with these inserts, my feet feel great! I can walk and exercise without any pain. These insoles give great arch support and padding. I bought these after a friend recommended them. She bought some for everyone in her family and they love them. I might get some for my husband and kids too! It is never to early to take good care of your feet!

Superb Replacement Insoles Mar 05, 2010
By John Ritchey
I am VERY impressed with the SOLE brand of replacement insoles. Depending on the walking shoe or hiking boot, I use either the regular or ultra thickness. The Ultra Sole is about twice as cushioning as the "regular" SOLE insole. SOLE insoles offer terrific arch support in particular. One advantage they offer over another popular brand (Superfeet) is that they can be heated briefly in the oven, placed in your shoe or hiking boot and they mold themselves to your foot and shoe. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis for 4 months. I was on the verge of spending $400 on custom orthotics. A friend advised me to first try the SOLE insoles. He predicted that I may find I would not need the more expensive orthotics. He was right! BTW, they are impervious to water. This is relevant as I use a pair in my fly fishing wading shoes. I have tried a variety of insoles brands ranging in price from $9 to $45. Without a doubt, they are far superior to the other over-the-counter products that are out there.

Very comfy once fitted Jul 21, 2010
By Joy J.
"Verona"
I had a little trouble getting these to fit to my feet at first- there is a thermal sensor on the bottom of one of the insoles that's supposed to change color after being heated in the (low temp) oven for a short while. Mine never changed color, and the instructions said to pull them out after a certain amount of time even if it didn't change. I didn't notice much of an immediate change in comfort from them. I did, however, feel like I had a "lump" under one of my heels for the first couple weeks. I stuck it out to see if it would eventually become more comfortable, and it did! I've been wearing them for about 8 months now and am quite happy with them. (I use them for "everyday" walking around, nothing too strenuous) I have a slightly higher than normal arch and I found that "normal" arch insoles didn't give enough support, but "high" arch insoles were too high. These molded to my feet perfectly.
My only complaint is that they're fairly deep and won't work in some of the "fashion athletic" shoes I would like to wear because the factory insoles are so thin that there simply isn't room for a real insole in the shoes!
