They have very high arch support, so they may be uncomfortable if you have flatter feet. The Details: Women’s 5 to 14.5, men’s 4 to 15.5 | Polyester, polysorb polyurethane foam | Medium arch support Good value, effective technology, and comfortable cushioning make these insoles the top contender. One of our testers said they had been using these insoles for over 40 years, and to this day, they have not found a product they like more. Naturally, within the domain of sneakers comes odor, but these feature antimicrobial properties and have a good level of breathability, so moisture retention is minimized. Another highlight was how well they fit into different shoes and how easy they are to cut with scissors to customize the fit. The insole combines shock absorption and energy return from the forefront to the heel and contains a four-way stretch top layer that prevents blisters. We found that they worked effectively with each style, alleviating lower body pain, helping during longer walks and runs, and providing ample cushioning and support, enabling the shoes to be worn for longer periods of time. For our testing, we inserted a pair into Hoka Rincon 5s for running and Puma’s everyday platform sneakers for daily wear. While Spenco features twice on this list, the brand’s PolySorb Cross Trainer insoles came the most highly recommended, with top marks across all metrics.
They are bright yellow on one side and green on the other – a consideration if you’re planning on wearing them with sandals and want them to blend in. Below you’ll find the products we’ve selected as our winners based on testing, along with the types of shoppers they're best suited for. Key metrics that were tested for included support, comfort, pain relief, breathability, and value.

But not all are made equal, and the first step to finding the right pair, according to podiatrist Dr. I wish the cork extended all the way through the toe bar portion of the insole for a total Birkenstocks feel and support.Whether you’re embarking on a hike, exploring a city, or attending a festival, wearing insoles can be a game changer for your feet. That's pretty huge considering that I couldn't even walk to the end of our driveway without too much pain a year ago! The only disappointment is that I cannot fit the insoles and my foot into my tighter fitting boots at the same time. I am pleased with the combination of these insoles and my special shoes and am even able to start jogging again. After about a month, they are starting to get that feel that I enjoy from all of my Birkenstocks shoes. Like all Birkenstocks cork products, it is taking awhile to break them in and get them to be super comfy but I expected that to be the case. But once I put them in god awful looking orthopedic tennis shoes, I was good to go. They did not work for me in my running shoes because, apparently, those shoes just will not work for me. Based upon other reviews, I thought these inserts would be a good alternative to the custom orthotics that I was told to get and enable me to wear something other than Birks sandals all winter.
