They make me feel like I'm walking with two boards on the bottom of my feet--they demolish my proprioceptive awareness---I've spent my life in the mountains and have felt every step taken; with superfeet I felt nothing underfoot except instability,the 26 bones in my foot went on limited awareness status.
This is my first ever review in 60 years and my advice is caveat emptor, and, if they don't feel right one can return them.
Not the best product I have ever seen. I spend 8 hours a day on my feet.
I bought these particular superfeet for my work as I teach high school and am on my feet all day. I have a slightly more than medium arch, so i chose these. I have relied on the green superfeet for years for all my hiking and mountaineering, so I chose these for basically working/standing all day. It seems all shoes these days are made with the idea that if you want proper support, you must get footbeds. It's important to have proper support and I rely on superfeet.
I was going on vacation and needed something to replace the worn Nike insoles from my sneakers just for walking around the city. I did a bunch of research online, went to the EMS store and the employees all highly recommended the Superfeet. I've had severe knee pain since I was a kid from any physical activity... very happy to say that after 15+ miles of walking each day for 3 days in a row my knees felt great. Took about 5 hours of walking for the insoles to "break-in" my feet (notice I did not break in the soles, they fixed me), and after that it was pure comfort. I wish my everyday work shoes had removable insoles, I'd replace them with Superfeet in a second.
using these insoles, I have so far been able to avoid bunion surgery!
I'm on my feet 12 hours a day or more doing land remediation in a rocky, barren, sandy, dusty environment. These have been a huge lifesaver and my feet love them.
