Side by Side Comparison of: Sof Sole

The original insole must be taken out of your shoe before you insert this. This is the first time I've used insoles so I had to learn the hard way. They also kind of need to be broken into so the first two or three days may be rough depending on how much you walk with them.Other than that, these are definitely comfortable and they don't slide around. I'm wearing men's size 7 DC high tops for those that would like to compare

For me, this is the best overall Sof Sole product. I've tried three others. (There's nothing wrong with the others, they are exactly as described.) I now have two pairs of the Airr Orthotic. One is in my primary walking shoes. The other is in my primary training shoes. I have a normal arch, stand over 6 feet tall and weigh over 200 pounds. I put these Sof Soles in 12 4E New Balance shoes. You feel the positive difference immediately. So far the soles are withstanding the activities I'm putting them through. I strongly recommend.

These insoles are so comfortable! I have a couple of shoes that look great, but are extremely uncomfortable after a long day on my feet. I was starting to look for more comfortable shoes but decided to try these first; and I'm very glad I did! After long days my feet are no longer sore.I ordered men's size 13-14 for my size 13 shoes, and was worried they might be too big but they fit perfectly. They do make your shoes a little tighter as they add to the bottom of the shoe, but it didn't cause a problem with any of the pairs that I used them with.

Great insole.I wear two boots:Timberland PRO Titan Pro 6" soft toe, Toffee, 10.5 MTimberland PRO Men's 53009 Wedge Sole 6" Soft-Toe Boot,Rust,10.5 MIf you use these inserts in the mens size 10.5 Titan, you'll want to order the Size 11 - 12.5 insole or you'll feel the tip of the insole under your big toe. the 9 - 10.5 are too short for the size 10.5 Titan. Super comfortable, but just too short. I hate feeling the edge of the insole under my toe walking downhill.If you use these inserts in the 10.5 Wedge Sole, you'll want to order the Size 9 - 10.5. They fit perfectly.I travel for my job. I spend hours on concrete floors in data centers and large residences. I love the Timberland boots, but would wear the insoles out in 6 months. These insoles seem to keep my boots alive for at least a year. So for about $20, My boots last twice as long.As for comfort -These have saved my feet, back and knees.I'm 5'11, 200 lbs.Stand 8 - 14 hours a day. Lots of time walking in airports and on concrete.these have been the best combo I've found for long wearing comfort.Obviously every single person is different, but for me this combo is an absolute winner.

This is the 2nd pair that I have purchased. The 1st pair lasted for 3 years with pretty much daily use. I worked in a clinic all day so I needed something to help support my arch and these insoles did an amazing job. I wear a size 11 and they fit perfectly in my Asics running shoes.

It took me a few days to get used to these but now they seem just fine. I don't have arch problems so I am not able to comment much on that. I have had plantar fasciatus or heel pain problems in the past and these have a padded region right at the heel that should help if it ever redevelops. That past is why I purchased these. I wear size 11 shoes and they fit inside my shoes perfectly. I exclusively own Ecco shows for daily use. These fit my feet well. I cannot speak for other shoe manufacturers but for Ecco sneakers these orthotic inserts fit their size 11 shoes perfectly. Time will tell how they age over time. They seem to be quality items and so far I am very happy with them. I will purchase them again if the need arises for me to get more. I can't speak to arch support as I do not have arch problems at this time but they do seem to have arch support but I don't notice it as I don't have arch problems, at least not yet.

Had to trim lots for my size 8 1/2 feet from the 8-11 insole. The insoles are so thick that they crowd my feet in my shoes. I expect that I'll need to buy shoes a half size larger to accommodate. Still, my feet are very tender and since the skin is prone to rubs and hot spots I appreciate the extreme level of cushioning these insoles provide. They are probably the thickest insoles I've ever seen. Arch is sufficient for my fairly high arched feet, quite comfortable. Those with low arches my not be as enthused.

I bought these to use with my orthotics to provide some cushion. However, these insoles already have a stiffened heel which made it harder to wear with my other orthotics. I decided to just use these by themselves without orthotics and they are pretty comfortable while providing some support to my arches.

So these are nice and cushiony, at first. I just don't like memory foam because it settles and loses its "spring". If you don't mind that you'll love them.

I ordered these to put in a pair of boots that I intend to wear while walking around Paris for a week. I haven't had the chance to try them out in that situation yet, but I've put them in my boots and worn them to work and so far, so good! It did make the fit significantly tighter (the liner that WAS in the boot was very thin), but since the boots are leather, I'm sure additional wear will help them loosen up a bit.

On paper these should have fit my 11 1/2 shoes just fine but I found them to be a bit of a tight fit.That said, after some finagling I was able to get the inserts in properly. After about 30 minutes of walking around in them they seemed to form to the rest of the shoe and they have fit inside the shoe just fine ever since.I got these shoes because I work in retail and was tired of coming home with sore feet. I was going to buy some new shoes but decided to go this route instead as I actually like my current shoes lol. The effect of the insoles was immediate. My feet feel just fine after I get home from work now.My only real complaint is that they raise my feet up just enough that my heel will pop out of my shoe in certain situations, like going up stairs or something similar. It's not a big deal but one worth mentioning I think.Overall fantastic insole that gets the job done for sure and for 20 bucks, can't go wrong with that!I may look into another insole or a different size because it WOULD be nice if my heel stayed inside my shoes at all times...

This review was preceded by questions about the fit of "this shoe." These are not shoes; these are insoles. They are too thick for the shoes they were intended to fill, however, they turned out to be perfect for a similar pair of shoes that were too loose. I can now wear this second pair of shoes comfortably for long periods. The insoles provide excellent arch support.The shoe size I wear is at the bottom of the measurement range (8-11). As a result, I had to cut a sizeable portion of the length and width. This was challenging and ended up cutting into specialized support areas. It would be my recommendation for anyone else at the low end of a size range to select the next smaller size range and hopefully avoid the need to resize them.

The product is well made but did not fit my shoe well enough to retain. I have rather sensitive arches and they were not very comfortable for my feet. The main issue is that it is zero returns. Only 1 was in 1 shoe for 5 minutes to know it wasn't for me. Sorry, but shoe stores have feet in shoes and are walked around a lot more than this and I can still return stuff.Not made of cash but with zero returns and a useless product I donated them to Houston.Just to clarify, the product was well made and quality from what little I could see of it before boxing it up.

They are ok and better than stock insoles, however only marginally. I've had them in my daily ware shoes for a few weeks. They're good quality but don't suit my needs. I have high arches and these don't do much for me. if you're condition is the same I would try something else.

I tried them in 4 different shoes and it made the front section of my shoe, tight. I'm a 7.5 medium. And yes, i did remove the pad inside my shoes. I used it for Zumba and my foot hurt during and after class. I kept using it for 2 months but it's still a problem. The heel is definitely comfortable.

These are ok. They don't give a lot of arch support, nor does it have a great heel cup to keep your heel from sliding around in the shoe. They are pretty spongy soft and way better than most supports that come with the shoe. I don't think I'd buy these again due to the lack of really good support.

I wish I had read this before I purchased. I bought a pair of these insoles to put in my "slip-on" work shoes. The height of these insoles makes my feet feel smashed up against the top of the shoe - so much so that I have to take my feet out of my shoes when I'm sitting at my desk. Because my shoes are "slip-on," they don't have laces that can be loosened to provide more room. I'd like to return them because of this, but I had to trim them before I could even try to fit them into the shoe. I'll post back if I'm allowed to return/exchange them for something thinner. They do feel soft and supportive, but the crushing of my foot is what I feel most.

Not worth an extra $10 over and above my usual insoles.I've worn gel insoles for over 10 years. Sof Sole Athlete insoles http://www.amazon.com/Sof-Sole-Athlete-Cushion-Insole/dp/B00PZM7UXS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_309_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51%2BFOohzMUL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR107%2C160_&refRID=1XBT5QM0VC8PC5YPM178 are what have always worked. After 1 year the gel pads in the insoles are still good, but the top of the insole where my foot touches gets worn through. After my most recent gel insoles wore out, I thought I'd try these "Airr Orthotic" insoles. I personally don't need the orthotic support but thought the air bubble might provide even more cushioning. I was wrong. The air bubble does nothing for me and the reinforced arch feels weird. If I can't get used to these within another month, I'm tossing them out and going back to the Athlete model.

Quite simply stated. You slip around on these. VERY bad cover material. This gets to be a problem when you are wearing shoes with a proper toe box that allows proper toe room.When going down hills, your feet slip up and it can hurt.Going up hills seems a bit more comfortable.Cushioning is OK, but very little arch support.

Please be advised that these, along with all insoles, are not eligible for returns, regardless of if it says "FREE returns" next to the price. These insoles are very thick, too thick for the shoes I wanted them in (and yes, the original insoles came out). They have a bubble in the heel that is annoying to stand on, though it may be good for running or other sport activities. I ordered a larger size for trimming, but were barley long enough and would not have been long enough had I been at the top of the range (size 7-8.5). Maybe those that gave the feedback that they run big are referring to the thickness of these insoles.

First time I put them on, it was wow, these are great. I even ordered two more for my other shoes. Wore them to work my 10 hour shift inside my shoes, and by the end of the shift, I was taking them out. Pain in my heel and toe. I will try with other shoes, but did not live up to the promise of the initial try.

So far these insoles have been a mixed bag. I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis along with lower back pain. Based on the reviews these seemed like the insoles for me. Once I put them in my shoes however, things didn't go as planned. I don't know if it's my shoes or the insoles, but my feet now rub against the top of my shoes causing quite a bit of discomfort. I had to switch to thinner socks to reduce this.It might be too soon to tell if these insoles are working, as I'm still getting used to them. so far I'm unsure if I could recommend these. Hopefully in a month or so I'll have a more concrete answer.

These are not comfortable. They feel very stiff and are very heavy. I took these out and put the original sole back in.I could definitely feel a weight difference when I had these in. Enough to really notice when wearing running shoes. It might be less noticeable in boots or work shoes.

I wear a size 8 in women's athletic shoes. These were huge. There are no guidelines to trim down. Even if I tried to trim it, the cuts would go into the gel support. I sent these back and reordered the smaller one. I slipped these into a size 10 men's shoes and it fit....

Product was too small for my shoe even though it was claimed the same size. Really disappointed because I thought I found a decent insole for my shoe they felt comfy but unfortunately they are not usable to me now.

So I bought these last week. I bought them because I thought they looked really really comfortable. I work in a job that requires me to stand on my feet 7.5 hrs out of 8 everyday on concrete floors. Maybe my feet are just too far gone, but these are probably the most uncomfortable insoles that I’ve ever worn in a pair of shoes before. It could just be me tho which is why I’m not returning them. But I don’t recommend them for someone with severe plantar fasciitis like I’ve got.

Not as soft on the forefoot. I do a lot of walking on concrete and other hard floors. This time I was very disappointed in the softness. I shouldn't feel the floor like I did. Too bad I waited too long to put them my running shoes. The heel is fine and fits very nicely, but the front bites.

The stupid bubble on the top side where the heal is uncomfortable. Feels like your socks are wrinkled up there. Heals were starting to hurt after standing at work for 4 hrs.

Heel is too narrow and because of it you can feel the edges of the insole with the heel. Very uncomfortable.This is design for narrow feet.

I purchased 2 of these items and they smelled really bad out the box. Had to let them air out for almost a week before use. I have purchased this same item from a brick and mortar store and didn't have this issue.
