These insoles aren't very breathable, causing our feet to feel warm and sweaty. However, we think the trade-off is worth it, as these insoles allowed us to walk for full days in shoes that were previously too uncomfortable to wear. Looking after your insoles can prolong their life and in turn make your shoes last longer, too. Here are some top tips for insole care to keep yours in great condition: Sizes: One size | Arch Type: Not listed | Anti-Odor: Yes | Materials: Terrycloth, foam | Our Overall Rating: 4.2/5

Best for people who have tried other insoles, but still haven't found a pair that meets their needs. They are designed to warm your feet while wearing boots, shoes or slippers. Not designed to wear by itself. Absolutely wonderful in northernmost climate." Type: Some insoles are crafted with cushioning in mind, while others provide firm support or foot pain relief—consider your goals and concerns while shopping. For example, if you have conditions like plantar fasciitis or overpronation, it may be helpful to invest in a pair that's built specifically for your feet's needs. In addition, most insoles are designed to fit certain arch types. Whether you have low, medium, or high arches, it's also a good idea to keep your foot type in mind. Since feet are so unique, Valencia prefers heat moldable insoles, which can be customized to fit and support your anatomy. Insoles are also a way to keep shoes fresh as they can be taken out and cleaned. Plus, they can be used together with toe inserts when shoes are too big, providing additional support. Why use insoles? We love that PowerStep's Original Insoles earned the APMA's Seal of Approval. However, the arch support was so high that it made the toe boxes of our shoes feel tight.There are several reasons you may be interested in trying out arch-support inserts, including trying to alleviate some sort of discomfort or pain in the foot, ankle or lower leg. Arch Support: The amount of arch support you need in an insole depends on your foot type and any conditions you might have. The right arch support can help relieve pain from flat feet, fallen arches, and high arches. Hummer says it can even reduce knee pain by gently correcting your feet and promoting proper alignment. Look for insoles with arch support that's firm enough, so they don't flatten out when you step on them, says Valencia, but not so firm that they're uncomfortable or cause your feet to cramp. For those dealing with plantar fasciitis, or painful irritation in your plantar fascia tissue, we recommend Walk-Hero's Comfort and Support Plantar Fasciitis Insoles. They helped revamp our old shoes, correcting overpronation while reducing the pain and pressure we felt in our arches. We also like the deep heel cup, which offers great stability. Neutral feet: "A neutral foot type is a more rectus foot type", said Kor. In other words, a neutral foot is not high-arched or low-arched.

Since these insoles have so much arch support, it can take some time for flat feet to adjust to them. As a result, Valencia recommends wearing these for an hour a day at first until you're used to them. We did notice that they gradually felt more comfortable throughout the duration of the testing period. Insoles come in all shapes and sizes, with some being geared toward providing more comfort, while others are geared towards providing more support or relief for foot-related pain. While this review can serve as a guideline for what the best insoles are like, if you suffer from foot pain, it should not be a replacement for medical advice from an expert in foot care. If you are not used to arch support, it is recommended that you give your feet time to adjust to your new insoles by wearing them for longer and longer each day before you decide they are not for you.Whether you're standing all day at work, hiking steep trails, or walking the dog, foot pain shouldn't slow you down. Insoles are designed to deliver comfort and stability through cushioning. According to Dr. Steven Neufeld, a foot and ankle surgeon at the Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics, they can also help relieve foot pain, soreness, and even compensate for the loss of your foot's natural cushion that happens as you age. These insoles may be too narrow if you have wide feet. However, this means you likely won't have to trim them to get them to fit in your boots. Unless you need a specific orthotic insole, choosing the best insole for you depends on the specific fit problems you have with your shoes, and what feels comfortable for you.
