Dr. Scholl’s Sport Insoles – Superior Shock Absorption and Arch Support to Reduce Muscle Fatigue and Stress on Lower Body Joints for Women Size 6-10

Really nice insoles, if a bit thick
These insoles are pretty good! I bought them after doing the whole Dr Scholl’s insole finder thing on their website, since I planned to go on a vacation where I’d be doing a lot of walking and needed some solid insoles beforehand. These fit the bill perfectly, and provided plenty of support to keep my feet from hurting after long days of walking.The trimming process is relatively easy – you can follow the guidelines, but I found that it’s easier to get the right fit if you take your old insoles out, lay them on the back of the new ones, trace the outline with a marker, and cut to size. I would also recommend setting these on top of a cardboard box and using a box cutter to trim them, since scissors seem to chew up the foam a bit when you’re trying to cut them.As far as comfort goes, these don’t make it feel like you’re walking on pillows or anything. They do, however, offer the support you need with a firm plastic arch support thing, as well as two thicker gel pads under the heel and ball of your foot. They have a bit of sink and you can feel the cushion on your feet, but don’t expect anything life-changing. They’ll keep your feet from hurting after hours of walking or standing, although that might also be dependent on the shoe.I put these in some used Air Max 1s that I fixed up – a comfortable shoe that also looks nice and has plenty of support in the sole. These insoles are about twice as thick as the original ones so you definitely do notice them when you first put them on, but if you lace your shoes a little looser it’s not a problem. These might not be a great fit for leather shoes or converse-type shoes, since they won’t stretch as easily to accommodate the extra bit of foam.I would also recommend gluing these down if you don’t plan to swap the insoles later. I’ve had Dr Scholl’s before and they have a tendency to slip around, especially if you’re walking up/down hills often. I used Shoe Goo to glue mine down, and I didn’t notice them moving around even a little bit. Just make sure to wear them for a bit after you glue them down so they form a solid, even bond. I’ve heard that double-sided tape can also work to keep them in place, but I wanted something more permanent.While they aren’t anything life-changing, these are affordable and comfortable insoles that can prolong the amount of time that you’re standing or walking. Highly recommend if they fit your needs!

Lasted 3 months with basketball
I use these in my basketball shoes that I play in 2 days a week. They lasted for about 3 months before getting holes through the foam by the toes. They are comfortable, but don’t hold up well to sports-like movements. I’m sure with walking or light jogging they would last longer.The gel part where the ball of the foot hits shows little wear so insoles with gel by the toes would probably last longer. I would expect the higher cost insoles to wear throgh just as fast, so I’m ok buying these for a much cheaper price every 3 months.

GREAT for shin splints
I’m training for the police academy and I’ve been dealing with shin splints for the past few months. Running even a mile felt like hell. It was the worst pain. After running I had to ice my shins for an hour just to make it feel somewhat better. Someone recommended me to get inserts and said people who have higher arches tend to get shin splints if not supported correctly. Sure enough, I got these inserts, went on my first run and no pain at all. I have high arches and I’m 177lbs 5’1 so a lot of weight on my legs. This fixed the problem instantly. Like magic lol. I put these inside of my Nike Vomero Plus and they went perfect with those running shoes.

Excellent
Fits my feet perfectly. Slips right into my sneaker. Was able to complete an intense workout (squats, jumps, calf raises, walking) with no issues. Perfect for the average foot. I am a size 8. Did not make my feet sweaty. Good quality item.

Very good much more comfortable as I do a lot of walking

I bought this product as a leaf of faith to make my road running easier. I am by no means a professional runner but took it up over last few years to run 1 -2 times a week around 5K. I bought all types of professional branded shoes as experimented on improving performance. Funny enough i bought a pair of cheap walking shoes from Primark which were extremely light, padded and comfortable so thought to use them on a run.The results were better than expected with a very slight feeling of shock so I bought this additional padding and the feeling is just as good or better than my branded shoes!! I’ve edged up to 10K now and I’ve gone on 15 runs and quality is still there. Just goes to show you don’t need to spend loads of $$$ to get a good running shoe so very pleasant surprise.
