Best flip flops ever

This is my second pair of the Balboa flip flops (black) and I love them. They are sturdy and very comfortable - especially if you have a medium to high arch. I hate a flip flop that feels like its going to slip off your foot - not these! They are tight fitting - but not too tight that it is uncomfortable. You can wear them with jeans, shorts, swimsuits, and dresses. Yes, they cost a bit more than your typical flip flop, but well worth it. The ONLY reason I bought a 2nd pair is because my dog decided it was toy. Otherwise, these are long lasting. I also bought the Baja Flip (bone) and love these as well. Figured I'd try another type of flip (and color) and I was not disappointed. Buy your next flip flop from SOLE - great service and the product is 2nd to none.

So happy!!!

This is the absolute best little boot ever! I have struggled for years with foot, knee, hip issues unless I wore my running shoes. Then I found SOLE! These cute little boots are heaven to my feet! Comfortable, easy to put on (zipper at the back) and look super with leggings, tights etc!

Insoles are fantastic

We were recommended these insoles by my son’s physical therapist. My son was recovery from a fractured spine but the physical therapist noticed my son had flat feet. My son has always complained his feet hurt after playing sports. We even saw the pediatrician for it and was not given any answers. He has been using these insoles for 3 months now and has not complained about foot pain once. These will be our go to from now on.

Keep on running!

Sole foot beds have allowed me to continue to enjoy running. I have them in every shoe - walking, running and hiking.

Too thin to be helpful

The Active medium have enough padding to work, these have little enough padding they're uncomfortable compared to your average insole. It feels like walking on a hard floor, albeit a floor that is shaped very well to your foot.

Saved my feet

Thyese foot pads really work. My Plantar Fasciitis has gotten so much better since I started using them. Highly recommended.

Perfect dog walking insoles

I wear these in my dog walking boots and now never had foot pain on long, damp dog walks. I could walk further than my young dog with these in my boots. Excellent support and great from day one.

Very good foot beds

I’ve been comparing this to another brand. I think it’s equally as good maybe slightly better. So that’s a good thing and I’ll probably be getting more in the future.

OK but no improvement for me

I bought these because someone I know had experienced relief from foot issues and I thought I'd give them a try. I have Morton's neuroma in my left foot. I have tried 3 different custom orthotics providers and none of the custom orthotics have had any impact on my Morton's neuroma. After a month of use, I can say that the Sole with Met Pad also has no impact. I can walk for about 45 minutes after which the pain is too intense and I must rest and manipulate my foot bones. However, the Sole with Met Pad has good arch support and is much cheaper than the custom orthotics, so for arch support it is fine. Overall, if you have MN and have had no relief from custom orthotics, I would not expect the Sole product to give you any relief either.

These foot beds saved my feet

They really helped me walk pain free.

Amazon foot beds

I've been using Sole insoles for over 15 years. These cork beds are nice.

They work great!

I've been wearing these for about a month and I have less foot pain and overall very comfortable. I got a size up since I'm a 6.5 W.

Pain relief

Helped with foot pain

Dr. Recommend

You see all the shoe insert companies claiming they are the number one podiatrist recommended- and I’ve tried many of them. When I finally went to the podiatrist for my foot issues SOLE was the one he said is the best- so SOLE it is for me.

These are amazing

I have been using these foot beds since January 2023. I was having pain in my feet due to plantar fasciitis and looking for an insole that would help. These foot beds fixed my plantar fasciitis. I have no more pain in my feet and I spend most my day on my feet. I will always have these foot beds in all my footware.

Todd Gainey

Gotta have Sole

I have two pairs of Sole shoes and put Sole foot beds in everything that touches my feet. I have them is my ski boots, hiking boots, running shoes and dress shoes. They just make any pair of shoes so much better for comfort and support.

Happy feet

It reduces my foot pain in the forefoot.

My feet have never felt better

Ordered my first pair at the suggestion of a friend who is an orthopedic surgeon. He noticed my foot pronating as I walked in my sneakers. Loved the first pain so much, I bought a second to leave in my golf shoes.

Life-changing relief

I had been dealing with metatarsalgia for 4 months following various suggestions form the podiatrist before giving these a shot, and I can say they've made a huge difference. The high-volume cushioning offered the perfect amount of arch support and reduced pressure on the ball of my foot without altering the fit of my shoe. These fit my hiking shoes perfectly. What stood out is that I noticed a real improvement in comfort within the first day of use. These have now become my go-to for all my shoes and I have purchased a set of Active thins for my dress shoes. If you're struggling with metatarsal pain or just need more support, these are absolutely worth trying.

Only footbeds I wear!

By far the best footbeds! I use them for work, running, and walking shoes. Excellent arch support and very comfortable. I like that they can be placed in the oven to be molded to my foot!

Best footbeds ever!, I wear in all my shoes.

I love these insoles no more feet, knee or hip pain, I tell everyone that I meet , that is having foot problems about these insoles , my wife tells me I should be a paid spokesman 😂😂

Good foot support and comfort

Forms to foot well with wear, did not heat to fit.

Yoursole footbeds

I have been wearing yoursole foot beds for years and are in all of my footwear, they never disappoint,

Big Foot is Happy

I have large feet that have not been treated well due to shoes that are too small, products that aren’t in my size, etc.. It is nice to see a company that is offering high quality products in large sizes.

Seriously Helpful

I’ve had foot and ankle pain for the last 2-3 years, and wearing Sol has definitely helped. I’m on my feet nearly all day for work and I noticed a difference quite quickly.

Own multiple pairs

Very problematic feet - these insoles have saved me. Only complaint is the price is a bit steep. But, not as steep as foot surgery.

A foot saver

I have high arches and struggled with plantar fasciitis for years. I got these and within weeks the pain is gone! Love it.

Wonderful product.

I have been using this product for many years rather than custom foot beds. They are every bit as effective and a fraction of the cost. I have a set in every pair of exercises shoes I own.

Supportive

Still getting use to the stiffness in the arch of the foot even after heat molding them per directions. They are however very supportive and keep foot from rolling inward.

Best foot beds ever

Amazing foot beds, especially if you have flat feet :)

I'm impressed!

My foot specialist/surgeon recommended the Metatarsol Insole because my right foot pronates and causes a lot of pain. The insole has given the foot more support and stability. I really like the fact you warm them in the oven and then stand in them to "mold" to your own foot. Believe me, I have tried a lot of different insoles and these are the best.

My favorite foot beds

Sole solved my neuroma pain. Don't leave home with out a pair

Reduced My Metatarsal Pain

I have had foot pain for many years and I still am recovering from metatarsal pain. I started wearing these in my Hoka's to provide even more arch support and to help with metatarsal pain. These footbeds definitely help reduce the pain.

Well done.

These provide relief and support for the ball of foot pain I experience. Cork is supportive, not to soft and form fitting.

Love Sole

Have bought several Sole footwear, but first time buying just the foot pads. Was just as happy with the foot pads as I have been with the footwear.

Great product

They really reduced my foot pain. I love them! Such a great product

Best insole ever!

After having these insoles in my shoes, my foot pain had been reduced significantly. Now I have those in my every shoe. Definitely recommend it.

Morton’s foot

At 6’-1” @ 215lb with a heavy bone muscle physic these inserts support me on my feet all day long.

Finally, Comfort!

I've been wearing the Active Met Pad for a few weeks and, from the first few days, I noticed that the pain in my left foot was gone. Due to an accident, my left leg is slightly shorter than my right which causes my left foot to not properly stretch the sole muscles when I walk. The pressure from the Met Pad stretches the muscle and relieves the pain. Also, there is a residual effect so that, after walking on the Met Pad for a few days, walking without it is still comfortable for a day or two. I also am glad that I can swap the Sole between shoes so I don't suffer just for style. I'll be buying the Thin Active Met Pad next so I can wear some of my tighter shoes comfortably.

Wide Insoles

The only shoes I wear are ones with wide toe boxes. Altra, Topo, Inov8, etc. These wide insoles fit perfectly and fit true to size with very little trimming. Heat molding in the oven works perfectly and it doesn’t take long with every day wear for them to continue molding to your unique foot shape. I have one fallen arch with never ending PF and one medium arch with zero issues. These insoles are the best fitting and most comfortable out there.

Best product for mw

Fits in shoes well, conforms to foot and works better than Active Thin Met pad

Best footbeds!

These are the gold standard for pain free living! My feet feel so much better and no other foot bed works like these!

Improvement over flat OEM insoles.

Maybe I'm just older and my foot muscles are growing weaker, but I find I need better support than the flat, cushiony insoles in most shoes, even trial runners. This insole gives me just the support I need in both regular arch and metatarsal arch. Medium is maybe a bit hard, but feet are too tight with thicker cushion. I wouldn't go without it.

Thick? More like supportive

These foot soles are supportive, and great for active wear shoes. I was worried that "thick" might make them tight in the foot box, but once the original sole was popped out and replaced, these were just right.

Performance Mediums

Love these footbeds, they go in every new boot I buy. For work, hunting, hiking and my daily boots as well. The more I wear them the better the fit to my foot gets.

Love my sole foot beds

Cured my plantar fasciitis! I’m on my 5th pair now. I won’t go without

Work great!

Walk five miles a day and they have provided me with no more foot pain!

best foot beds ever

My wife and I use these in all our boots and shoes and love them. We especially like the met pad for comfort.

Great Insoles

These insoles have really helped my foot pain. Highly recommend them.

Have a pair in every walking shoe I own!

Used and recommended sole foot beds for years also own the flip flops. Buy them for my family too- ya I’m a bit crazy about comfort!

The shoe fits

I've eyed these for a bit and when they went on sale I got a pair. Have had for few months and they are comfortable. You may need to tie the laces a bit tighter than normal to avoid a bit heel slip but the shoe stretches and you can keep them tied up. The foot bed is comfortable and is cork as seen, but I added my orthotics and the shoe still fits well. I went up a size to accommodate my orthotics better. I'd recommend this shoe but as it's comfortable there's no "bounce" if you will for the sole. There's minimal cushion in the sole but still comfortable.

Great insoles

I have these insoles in my blundstones and they work great! This has really helped my foot pain!

Can use over and over

I love these inserts. I have a morton's neuroma and the meta and thick foot pad solves the problem when playing tennis. I love these foot pads for I can wear any shoe as long as I use these foot pads.

Good insole

Good insole for being active and met pad fits comfortably in your foot. They're a touch on the firm side but arguably that's what you'd be looking for for performance vs every day wear.

Love the Met Pad!

Just having been diagnosed with metatarsalgia, I bought the Active Thin with Met Pad. My foot pain is relatively gone now!

Best footbeds

I have been wearing these footbeds for 20 years and have recommended them to many friends that are having foot and heel pain, and they have really helped. My son wore them for 10 years while he was playing baseball and now my grandson started to wear these at 8 years old.

The foot beds are wonderful and stopped my shin splits for years now.

I have been using SOLE for 9 years now and they have saved my running and allowed me to keep doing it.

Sole inserts are critical to foot health

I’ve been using sole inserts for many years after a painful experience with Plantar fasciitis. I’ve been able to hike and walk without any reoccurrence and pain free. Can’t recommend enough.

Some makes great footbeds

I’ve been wearing Sole foot beds for years. I have thin, medium and thick sizes. They’re very good and they last a long time. I’m going to go back and buy a few more of the thin ones for my dress shoes.

KC Comfort

These are great inserts. They provide good support and can further be conformed to to your foot through a heating process. The cork configuration helps them hold up. I have several pairs.

Excellent ~ Sole rescued me!!

What a difference when I started t wear the new Sole foot beds. For years I’ve been looking until now! Thanks SOLE!

Back pain relief

Walking back pain Is no more. I used to get low back pain when I walked but the Sole foot pads it no longer happens! I use them every day.

A necessary fix

I only wear sole and have been for almost 20 years, as a hiker with foot pronation, that I didn't realize was causing knee problems. I happened to be hiking one day with a chiropractor behind me: he said " you have a serious pronation, doesn't It cause problems?" I said "no but my Knee hurts......." .He replied "DUH" That's when I ordered my firs Sole. The Active wide thick I purchased to put in my Crocs and it fits well

Not bad

Coming from a Custom Orthotic to these was an easy transition, however they do take some time to get use too as doesn't cater to your foot like a custom would. Pretty comfortable.. Has some initial squeaking and requires trimming for most shoes as the insole is super wide in the toe box but happy with the purchase.

Helped with high arches

I have high arches and these helped with foot pain while training for half marathon.

Finally, comfort!

I have worked my way through many footbeds and orthotics, and spent lots of money and have never been completely comfortable. As a marathoner I understand pain is part of the process but finally these SOLE foot beds are comfortable straight out of the box and keep my feet happy mile after mile!

Helped my sesamoiditis!

These have been a huge help in alleviating foot pain for me!

Excellent foot beds

Very comfortable and appear to be very durable! That will be known over time.

Too rigid

I am rating very specifically for this size: M3/W5 *when I place my foot on this footbed outside shoes, they perfectly sit under my foot’s shape both length and width. It’s material thickness causes over-rigidity in this size…well, it is very small size for an adult female, I understand that very well though, it just defeats the purpose of molding into my foot arch shape, as rigidity totally prevents my natural heal-to-toe movements. I also find that width of mid section across arch has too much thickness and width, the edge “pushes out” shoes from inside hence this would damage shoes over time.

Love these foot beds!

I have them in every pair of shoe I own.

Helped my husband a ton!

My husband was having a lot of foot (specifically heel) pain. These insoles helped a ton!

Easy and great for skiing

These footbeds were easy to trim and customized and have worked great. I have about 20 ski days on them. They take up little/no volume in the boot, support my foot well and have helped with foot pain and cramping. I am a part time ski instructor and coach high performance. For me, these footbeds have been an very good alternative to custom($$$$) footbeds.

Really helped with the fit of my ski boots

The liner in my ski boot got packed out a little after about 15 ski days, and I added these to add more volume to my liner. This foot bed has a really nice heel cup which holds my heel in place much better than the foot bed that came with my boots.

Helps Relief Joint Pain After Running

Wearing the insole helps reduce my discomfort after a long walk or run. I tend to step on the side of my left foot. The insole make it feel I’m more aligned when I step forward.

Great, sturdy soles

Recommended by my Dr. I am happy with how these fit nicely in my shoe. They're not flimsy and fit to my foot nicely.

Supportive Insoles

I’ve been wearing the Sole insoles for around 4 weeks. The insoles confirm to my sole and offer amazing support. I use the running shoes for exercising on a treadmill and find that I no longer have foot fatigue.

Feet Saving Foot Beds!

I've purchased a number of SOLE foot beds over the past 15+ years for all my shoes & I LOVE them!! They've saved me from debilitating foot pain - I've even tried those $400+ custom orthotics but the only thing that took plantar fasciitis pain away are these amazing foot beds! Thank you SOLE!

Lifesaver!

These have been fantastic! A coworker recommended them, almost 2 months in and so far my left foot plantar fasciitis pain has vanished. Thank you!

Stability and reliability

I've been using these footbeds for more than 10 years and keep using them because of their reliability and stability. As a distance running I find the footbeds keep me from injury and promote good foot health.

Really helps!

Takes a little bit to get used to them, but I teach PE and am on my feet all day and come home with less foot pain. My feet don’t like shoes without them now

Good, but for me the thin ones are better

Haven’t molded them yet, but they are pretty good. The thin ones fit in most of my shoes better (I have a high volume foot).

Excellent foot beds

Myself, my husband and son use them in our sneakers, they were recommended by a foot specialist and they work!

Great for the price

I bought these to play squash. My shoes felt like the support had diminished after a few months. These custom inserts help with foot soreness and fatigue after playing.

Works great

Really recommend these as they are moldable and you can cut them to the exact size and shape of your foot. Can’t beat the price either!

Solid unobtrusive support

I was getting occasional foot cramps with my stock Giro insoles and I haven't had any since replacing them with these. I went through the heat molding process, but it's just 2 min at 200F, so it's quicker than making toast. They provide solid arch support without being too built up (something I find to be the case with many insoles) and they are sufficiently low-profile that they fit in my narrowish cycling shoes.

Works well

I have been wearing these for a couple months and they are helping with the foot pain.

Best I have found

Since developing a nagging case of plantar fasciitis in one foot, I’ve been on the search for a quality footbed to provide support and relief. These are the best I’ve found by far. Don’t expect miracles, because they’re not that. No footbed is. But they’re one arrow in the quiver to help!

This insole made me run again.

I have had the Ileotibial band syndrome probably due to a foot overpronation. Since when I started walking (eventually running) using this soles everything got better and better everyday. I am going to buy a couple more to put in my suit shoes and running shoes.

Amazing Innovation

Imagine if you podiatrist had a 90% off sale… I have been wearing custom orthotics for 30 years and have paid from 300$ (in the olden days) to 750$ almost every year for a new pair. My SOLE footbeds have definitely put a stop to that nonsense. They are more comfortable than the custom orthotics, easier to mould to the shape of your foot and comfortable from day one. The cork is an amazing shock absorber and I feel much less impact on my ankles and knees when I walk. I have actually enjoyed walking for the first time in years. I have four pairs to avoid changing my orthotics every time I want to change my shoes. Super happy with the product and will be getting a couple more pairs for my summer shoes. My only regret is that I hadn’t found them sooner.

Great shoe inserts

I highly recommend SOLE foot beds especially if you have flat feet. They provide very good arch support.

Sole’s Chukka

I’ve been unable to test the shoes outside as we are deep in snow, but I have been wearing them extensively in the house. I opted to put in the Sole performance insole as that is what I use in my other footwear. I did go up 1/2 size as recommended and find they fit well. Overall, I like the shoe, comfortable and feels good on the foot. My only two negatives, the shoe laces. One set is long enough for construction boots and stretchy , the other is much shorter but could still loose a few inches. The toe kick on the front of the shoe could be redesigned a bit, perhaps a little broader. Would provide a better guard and visually have a better appearance.

Noticable difference in comfort

Took a few days to help break in on my right foot but I chalked that up to my previous support was lacking. Now they feel great and I notice way less back pain walking and standing on concrete.

Game changing foot beds

These made more of a difference for my foot pain than the $500 custom-made foot beds

Fits perfectly, exceptional support!

I wear size 11 mens shoes and sole # 11 fits perfectly without trimming. I developed pain in the bottom of my left foot from 5 day per week rucking with 65lbs and the sole met pad resolved the issue. Fantastic product.

Best footbeds ever

I've been wearing these since I bought the first pair at the PX at Benning. Outstanding tools. I wear size 12 boots and size 13-15 insoles ( cut down) to fit my arch perfectly. No foot fits the same insole as the next guy. Test fit in clean socks up and down the sizes to fit your foot and you will love your insoles. Tip of the week.

Just what I needed!

I need a metatarsal pad for my right foot in order to provide relief from hot spots and callouse while: skiing, running and hiking and the built-in pad is a better solution then the stick-on solutions that I have been using for years! I also like the option of cork bottoms for some footwear and the plastic bottoms for ones which might be exposed to wet conditions (road and trail running shoes and hiking boots). I may try the next size up to have the pad a bit further forward, but so far the current size has worked well while skiing.

Definitely an Improvement

Replaced the clapped out stock soles in my ski boots and immediately relieved some foot pain. Wish I would have done this a year ago.

Excellent Support

Best Advice: Fit your foot to the Insole. Match up you arch to the arch of the Sole Insole, and then trim the toe to fit the shoe. I wear a size 10 shoe, but use a size 12 Sole Insole. Amazing Arch support.

Very good

My foot doesn’t bother me when I wear them

Foot pain gone

I was suffering from planter fasciitis, to the point that I was unable to walk and stand. I tried these insoles, and it went away. These are my 2nd and 3rd pair, because I wore out my cork sole ones. I would highly recommend this product to get you back on your feet.

Really good foot beds.

I've been wearing these for about 2 years and they are very good.

Helpful but not perfect for me

I have extremely high arches and so get pressure on the heal and the ball of my feet. These inserts are comfortable and helped my heal pain but then I was feeling pressure on the ball of my foot so I had to get an extra pad for that.. even so, I will be using them for long hikes.

Best footbeds ever!

I love these I feel no foot pain after walking or standing for long periods.

Love the sole foot beds

Great foot beds for various foot needs. Affordable and great quality.

Great product

Sole foot beds helped with my problem feet very well.

Foot savers!! a must.

Love this product and recommend it to the rest of my family.

Fabulous Orthotics

After using very expensive and bulky prescription orthotics for years, I was given Aetrex inserts by my foot doctor last year. However, I decided that I needed to find an insert vendor with DEI practices that are more aligned with my feelings. That's how I found SOLE, a company that supports equality and gives back to the community as part of their mission. With some trepidation, I made the change from Aetrex and bought my first pair of SOLE metatarsal inserts, and wow (!) what a surprise. They are even more comfortable and effective than the prescription orthotics or the Aetrex inserts. They are easy to put into shoes, feel cushioned, and yet incredibly supportive. No more foot pain for me. It took a couple of days for me to adjust to them, and now I want more pairs for all of my shoes. I highly recommend SOLE inserts AND SOLE the company.

Fantastic foot beds

I've been using these footless for years. I put them in my ski boots, hiking boots, runners and my everyday shoes.

Best foot bed supports I’ve experienced

I have been using these supports for months now and besides curing my foot problems they have lasted vs others that never really worked and wore out. These supports make working long hours in boots seem like nothing. I am purchasing multiple pairs of these so I can add them to my shoes and boots and not have to switch them around now that I know they work.

Greatly help with my pez cavus.

This is my second set and they have been really helpful. Takes some of the weight off the ball of my foot by holding my arch.

Best footbeds ever!

This company’s foot beds and loyalty rewards are amazing! Love my footbeds! They are a must!

great product

I've been a SOLE fan for two years now, and I think I own 9 or 10 pairs. Most are this particular item, the Performance Medium with Met Pad. The Met(atarsal) pad helps keep your arch in the correct position and eases strain on the ball of the foot. They're great for anyone prone to plantar fasciitis like I am. I HIGHLY recommend availing yourself of the optional oven-based heat molding to really jump-start the dialed-in fit. It's easy and quick. Remember to trim them to match the size of the shoe inserts that come with your shoes (which you will not use with the SOLEs) before heating them. And if they feel a bit strange or uncomfy when you first start using them, don't worry - this is very temporary, and your feet and the footbeds will soon be getting along like twins separated at birth.

Instant Difference

I’m a runner and, out of the blue, started having metatarsal pain in one foot. It made running less fun, but especially the time after. Googled potential solutions and came upon small inserts, which didn’t seem like they’d work well for runners as they’d surely move about. Purchased these instead and am so glad I did! They started helping immediately. I’ve been wearing them while running and in all other shoes for about a month and a half and am pain free so am now weaning my feet of them :) Will keep them close just in case! Great product.

Capri

Best footbeds ever

I love these cork boots! The material is really nice and the color! I love how my foot feels in them. I just recently wore them on a trip and did some walking and they really kept me balanced with no knee pain. I highly recommend

Footbeds for work books

These were recommended by some friends to help my husband's sore feet and sore legs from hours of standing on ladders and other construction job requirements. Since putting these in, he has noticed the extreme foot ache and pains extending up his legs has drastically reduced. I definitely recommend these to others and will purchase more when these are due to be replaced.

Helped with plantar fasciitis

I've been recovering from a plantar fasciitis injury and this helped. It has really helped relieve what felt like a bone spur and helped align my foot helping with my outer pronation. Will buy again

Comfort All Day under and conditions!

I use these foot beds in my work boots, they alleviated planter fasciitis I was experiencing as well as making the work boots more comfortable all day long. That is important extremely when you spend all day on your feet.

Great for foot health

I got plantar fasciitis several years ago. I healed my foot by wearing Sole flip flops with cork foot beds. Now I keep the pain from returning by using Sole insoles in all of my shoes that don't have arch support

Seems to be doing the job

Had surgery on my foot and the Dr recommended these for my arch support

Heat molded fit

Use the thick versions in various shoes, from my running walking shoes not only for good alignment but also to snug up the fit. I have a low volume foot. Use in all my office shoes too

Heat molded

Super happy with the heat molded foot beds. Use the thin in both cycling shoes, and ski boots

I buy these for every pair of boots I have.

I've had symptoms of plantar fasciitis in the past. Ever since I've bought these footbeds with the high arch there has been no more foot pain.

Best , longest lasting

These foot pads are wonderful. Have used for years. Long lasting, moldable, easy to put in .

best foodbeds I've found

I have about 10 pair of these and I use them in all of my shoes. I find them essential to foot comfort.

Saved me from pain

I had terrible foot pain. A switch to these insoles took it all away!

The best

They are the best thing to happen to my feet. No more foot pain. They are wonderful!

better than my RX insoles

Even with the thin met pads they only fit my fashion cowboy boots but no more foot pain after long hours walking around carrying heavy items!

Best supportive foot beds ever!

I have had anterior tibial tendinitis in both of my feet and legs. My Podiatrist suggested I needed some firm but yielding arch and foot support once I was out of my walking boot. These foot beds have been a life saver and I have had no recurrence of my problems snice using them. They are in all my shoes!

Randa

Good wool boots

I have been wearing these for a few weeks now and am overall pleased. They do run a bit small, so I cannot wear thick socks. However, they are warm enough for my needs, so i do need thick socks. I wear them at work and sometimes around the house to have warmth and arch support. The sole is fairly hard, but the foot support is great and has molded well to my foot providing needed relief from my foot pain. I like that wool repels water so I don't have to worry about quick jaunts to and from the car when it's wet outside. Overall, quite pleased with these, and the company's customer service is truly top notch

comfortable

Makes my foot feel more solid in my sneakers when I am working out

Game Changer

Goodbye foot pain! Almost instantly eliminated significant foot pain / issues!

Great feel and excellent quality

I wear these daily in my running shoes and they still feel great. The cork is soft and supportive under my foot. These insoles keep my arches from getting sore and achy.

My wife loves these insoles

I got these for my wife to reduce foot pain. She loves them. They help make her shoes last longer and help keep foot pain at bay.

Great insoles

I have been wearing these insoles for a few weeks and find them very comfortable and supportive especially for my foot with Morton’s neuroma.

Best of the Best

For those wanting orthotics and custom ones, look no further. SOLE are custom to your foot, fits and feels extremely well. I have them in all my shoes and highly recommend SOLE !!!

Awesome

I was referred to Sole by a friend who has Sole inserts in all his foot ware. I now know why he has them. They are incredible. Perfect fit and so comfortable. I will be purchasing more inserts.

Super Awesome!! No more sore feet

I recommend to my spouse to try a pair of these insoles, as they expedited the healing of PF in my left foot. My spouse could not be more pleased with the results of these insoles. Dare I say….Another satisfied customer!!

Insole for Foot Conditions

On order of an orthopedic foot surgeon for insoles with a met pad, purchased for a few foot problems that cause pain during and after walking for exercise. So far they are comfortable and are rotated between multiple pairs of running shoes that I alternate.

Relief from Foot Pain

An orthopedic foot surgeon recommended an insole with a metatarsal pad for metatarsalgia & morton's neuroma. They're still in the break in period but seems to be working and they are comfortable so far. It's replacing a decades old custom orthotic for use in my Brook's Glycerin running shoes used to walk about 25 miles per week. The active is the best to move between my multiple pairs of walking shoes that I alternate.

makes good shoes great

I have half a dozen pairs of Soles for various shoes, dress shoes, casual walkers, etc. They make a less than perfect original shoe sole great by substituting them with the Soles. Wear them in (don't heat them) and they form perfectly to your feet. Amazing and does wonders for anyone with foot pain.

Best Footbeds I have Used

I really needed something for my feet as they were in pain for the last 6 to 9 months after injury. That’s when I found out I had a high arch., these foot beds have saved me. I now have them in every one of my shoes and don’t wear any shoes without them.

Best footbeds ever

This is my 2nd pair. I started wearing Sole footbeds 3 years ago after seeing a podiatrist about plantar fasciitis. I LOVE them. I no longer have foot pain or back pain.

Very stable insoles for overpronation

I was having foot ache when I bought a new pair of boots with no support and these insoles restored my walk!

Jack Mazzola

good shoe

helpful contours in the sole for healing a foot injury and they look fine to wear to work

Great foot beds

Bought these for my fiance and he seems to love them. Says the are comfortable but aren't as wide for his foot, as he'd hope.

Great footbeds

I've tried many different types of footbeds and these along with the other Met pad foot beds from SOLE are the ones that consistently give my tired feet the most relief. I have arthritis in my toes and could't walk without pain until I started using these. The version without the Met pad is also one of the best.

As usual

These Sole inserts perform miracles with every step I take. Walking is always comfortable. No foot pain ever and I have a pair in all my shoes.

Super Comfy and Warm

Love slipping these on barefoot in the winter. Nice and warm and super comfy. Fits my wide foot well. Great construction. Love the elastic laces and the lace pocket on the tongue of the shoe.

Best footbeds ever!

I wished I discovered this brand earlier these soles make my shoes so comfortable and eliminate foot pain.

Very comfortable shoes

These are very comfortable almost no foot pain even if you have to stand all day.

Squeaks, good arch support

Tried these foot beds on different shoes. Doesn’t fit all shoes. Couldn’t make it work for some shoes because it would squeak with every step. Worked with one pair of flat sneakers which I needed arch support for and makes the shoes super comfortable.

Still the best footbeds I've ever found on the market

With chronic foot issues I have always been on the search for a less than $400 answer to my problem. Custom inserts are supposed to work well, but I couldn't see myself buying one expensive set of inserts and then moving them around from shoe to shoe, so I looked for a non-prescription remedy. These were the answer. I own about seven sets for footwear ranging from sports shoes to winter boots. Love them. Feet much happier now.

Best footbeds

Super comfortable. They have helped greatly with my foot pain.

Sole to the rescue

I've been wearing Sole moldable insoles for the past 4 years and have owned 5 sets in that time, in boots and tennis shoes for support and pain relief since I do over 10000 steps per day on hard concrete. And they have been game changers for me, since I'm a big dude so when my wife started complaining about pain in her heel and cramping in the night in her Achilles heel, doing some research it looks like she developed collapsed arches in her left foot. So I ordered a pair of Sole Active thin moldable insoles, and it's solved her pain problem the same day she put them in. She's a teacher and stands all day typically on fashion style flat tennis shoes, and her being petite she got away with less weight on her feet, but it finally caught up and one of her arches looks collapsed. The Sole inserts give her the support she needs all day and by the end of the day she has no foot pain and her lower back pain has been relieved as well. Shows to me once again, when you lay the proper foundation to your body, is the feet and give them a solid supportive footing instead of soft unsupportive gel, the rest of your body is aligned and happy. I will continue buying from Sole and recommending them to anyone that I speak to.

Swapped in my GORUCK shoes

I had some sudden pain on a run in August and had to take a break from running while I healed. Even walking ended up being painful - with the exception of when I wore Birks. I couldn't very well exercise in Birks, so when I found SOLE, I was thrilled. Used my first pair in my GORUCK shoes (figured I could at least keep doing a *little* more than running while my foot healed) - they were magic. The shoes themselves have a wide toe box and an 8mm drop, and these insoles fit perfectly. I did the heat-mold before wearing, and I've been so thrilled!

Foot pain relief

I love these insoles and I have tried every one of them known to exist. They support my foot and help with balance. They are so worth the price.

very comfortable shoes but fit a little bit small

I really like these shoes. Very comfortable - fits a bit small - hoping they will form to my foot with everyday usage

Extra support for snow boots

I bought these for some boots and while I have a wide foot, they were a little too wide for my cute suede boots, so I’m using them in my snow boots. Now I’m getting the arch support I need I’m my snow boots!

Chuuka

I have had these for a month and am happy with them. They keep your foot warm but not hot. They are a little firm so I added a thin soft insole underneath my custom orthotic, which the shoe takes easily. I sized up from my 1/2 size based on reviews. With my orthotics it is sufficient but I’m not sure I need too. I only gave it 4 stars because I have noticed the tab in the center of the toes is lifting on one shoe. I hope this doesn’t worsen with wear.

Best arch support ever!!

Until I found Sole I was miserable! Aching feet that I could not step on or live with. The foot pain left me unable to do anything. Then I found Sole and my whole life changed. I have my life back! Thank You Sole!!!!

Worn these for years

I had plantar fasciitis then ultimately a tear in my foot. During rehab, physio recommended these and I have been wearing them ever since. No foot problems since I started wearing them. I have several pairs, in all my activewear shoes.

Great for running and casual shoes

I bought this pair to fit into Adidas Terrex running shoes and I use them to run on the road and trails. Very comfortable cushioning and a supportive shape. After a few miles they mold to your feet and feel like a custom fit. I have been plagued with foot injuries but these insoles allow me to run injury-free. I also have a pair of these in some casual shoes and like them for that usage as well.

Works well

I use these insoles for ski boots and they are durable and do the job of supporting my foot.

A nice indoor shoe

Caveat - I haven’t changed to the regular shoelaces and my experience with the jasper chukka has only been with the elastic shoe laces. These are an extremely nice lounge shoe, I wouldn’t use the on long walks on variable surfaces - not enough support in the material (could be different with the regular laces). Wool material keeps my feet pleasantly warm, and the cork sole is extremely supportive. Nicer looking and much better support than a slipper, almost too much shoe for indoors, but with a now chronic foot issue - these help keep my foot comfortable and supported! I purchased these on sale - these are so nice, I regret waiting.

Helped with foot pain

I make a point of buying good shoes but these insoles are much better than the ones that come with the shoes. Relieved metatarsal pain.

Best foot inserts ever

These saved my life! No more foot pain and so comfortable. Highly recommend!

Game changer

I’ve been wearing these for a year now. Absolute game changer of an insole. I’ve tried many other brands including customer made. These are easy to use and completely stopped any foot pain. Order a size larger and cut them to fit just like they say.

Great footbeds!

No more foot pain since I started wearing these in all of my shoes

Excellent support in running shoes

The met pad provides extra support and comfort for the midfoot. The arch and heel support provides stability keeping the foot centered. The durability of the Active series is excellent. For many shoes the insoles require no trimming. For shoes running small or tight a little trimming may be needed, just use the insole that came with the shoe as a guide.

Total satisfaction

The best footbeds. I had a lot of issues with my foot. My podiatrist recommended these and within in days the pain and discomfort started to get better. I have already recommended these to 4 other people. I have a pair in all my shoes

Helps keep me active

I really like these insoles. With the addition of the met pad my feet are aligned better, and great toe callouses diminished (that had been caused from running without insoles). The break-in time is minimal. If I use the heat-to-fit option, I can use them in running and hiking right away. I prefer the cork bases for running, as it allows my foot more flexibility. The plastic bases are great for foot/toe protection when hiking over rocks, roots, and rough ground.

Active with the Metatarsal Pad

I have both the Active thick and the medium with Met pads. I have metatarsalgia in my right foot and these insoles make hiking and long walking possible without pain. I also wear the Performance mediums with Met pad in my house slippers. I tried a few other brands and got less relief. My son-in-law turned me on to Sole, and now he's my favorite ;-)

My Search has ended!

My pediatrician wouldn't budge on his $500.00 cost for another pair of orthotics, which were only a duplicate as last pair. I've had 12-foot surgeries so these need to be in everything I walk in. These do self-adjust to my feets needs. I have 2 pairs now and will be getting 3rd soon.

Best foot beds I have found. I had the expensive ones not worth it.

I have been wearing these foot beds for more than a decade. My feet have high arches. Shoes are made with flat foot beds. sole foot beds support my arches and my feet feel great.

Excellent product.

Footbed is made of high quality material and is very comfortable. It has ameliorated my foot pain.

Best arch supports ever!

I had found another brand and while they were cork also, they just weren’t quite a perfect fit for my high arches. Once I received my SOLE supports I changed my walking shoes immediately. I’ve been THRILLED at how my foot pain is going away! Almost never have pain now…before I had pain every day. I’m a lifetime buyer!

Firm yet comfy and form fitted

These are sleek and narrow enough to fit into my little sneakers. I like that they are firm and form fitted to my foot but also still very comfy for wearing for long periods of walking. They fit and support in all the right foot areas. I would buy them again for other pairs of shoes to have more so that I don't have to switch them around with the shoe I want to wear.

Purchased For Plantar Fascitis

Purchased 2 pair of the Sole insoles for the relief of plantar fasciitis. These are the only insoles I have tried that have made a difference and have so far almost eliminated my pain. The advantage of these Sole insoles is that they can be heated and custom fitted to each foot.

Tried these for plantar fasciitis - excellent!

These footbeds have been a game changer! I’ve been wearing them for over a month and at first, they were a bit uncomfortable (maybe a week) and then they gradually formed to my foot and I’d say my plantar fasciitis pain has been reduced by 80%. I bought these on sale after seeing them recommended online and figured for the price, they were about the same as drugstore brands, but had very good reviews for plantar fasciitis. I also liked that they are made from cork.

These are the best insoles ever!

After wearing these insoles for several months in my shoes, I have found that these are the best insoles I have ever owned. I didn't do the fitting process but simply wore them and let the insoles form to my feet. I have had less foot pain and other issues that I was experiencing. Highly recommend these insoles.

Great footbed replacement

Assisted with foot pain during activity and after.

Foot pain gone

Completely removed foot pain.

Sole

I bought these for my arch support. I was given a pair of these years ago and I will never buy another brand. I gave the rating lower just because I didn’t like the position of the met pad. It seems a bit too far back into my arch. The previous ones I had were positioned more towards the toes which really helps the tension in my foot. I would definitely recommend the sole brand for foot orthotics.

Best arch support

I need good arch support due to multibple foot problems. The sole insole solves all my foot problems. Please do not stop making wide size!

Foot pain is gone

I put these is my tennis shoes and my foot pain is gone. Great support and comfort.

Fixing My Feet

Since I purchased SOLE insoles with a metatarsal pad I no longer experience foot pain after long walks.

Only good option I’ve found for Metatarsalgia

I was skeptical the met pad would be helpful because it is placed more towards the center than where my foot discomfort is located. However, after running 6 miles with them I am not suffering from the discomfort afterwards that I have grown accustomed to. I have two pairs now. One with cork for my running shoes and one with foam. I would prefer to get the thick pads, but Ive only ever seen the medium available to order. Hopefully they are available one day!

Excellent foot bed for running shoes

I bought a pair of these after my physiotherapist recommended met pads, this active medium is not as thick as my other Soles, which actually works better and fit a little looser so my toes don’t get squished. Met pad is generic though, fits me ok but to really customize the exact spot you may want to add a stick on met pad in the perfect location. LOVE this Sole!

Work great !

These Soles have helped me a lot with my sore foot !

Bye Bye Pain

After giving up on my podiatrist trying to fix my Morton’s neuroma by adjusting my custom fit orthotics, I thought to give these a try. The met pad has greatly reduced the pain in the ball of my foot when wearing them. I like the thin ones because they don’t change the fit in my shoes. If you have a well soled shoe they are quite comfortable. I would like a thicker pad, but they cause my heel to slip in and out of the shoe. The thicker ones work better in boots. I like the cork pads because they seem to get more comfortable with time as they mold to your foot. They don’t support my arch as much as my custom orthotics but the difference has not caused a recurrence of my heel pain. For the amount I have to pay for custom I can buy several of these. Don’t yet know their longevity to see if it is cheaper in the long run, but the pain is gone so that’s a win for me!

Pain relief

These relieve foot pain, where Super Feet only did for a couple weeks. I continue to use Sole for long hours with comfort to keep going.

Great foot support

I have been looking for a harder foot support for my high arches and this was recommended to me by a store. Definitely did not disappoint as I feel all of my bottom area being supported and standing on my feet all day, it's been great.

Very good quality

I was told of this brand of inserts by my physical therapist after my knee replacement. I also suffer from narrowing of the lower spine. I work on concrete all day at my job. These have helped me very much with foot pain, knee pain, leg cramps and my back. Would tell anyone they are worth their money.

They work very well

I've been wearing sole foot beds for 15 years and I own about 10 pair. I couldn't function without them.

Save Your Feet, Save Your Mobility

Your feet are often neglected and unattended. I worked in a manual labour industry where I was on my feet 11 - 15 hours a day. I chose sole footpads in my 30’s and have been wearing them everyday for over 30 years in both my women's CAT work-boots and my lined rubber boots. Women and men around me developed a number of foot problems as they aged with serious consequences and immobility issues. I have no foot problems and I KNOW they are because of Sole footbeds. Over the years I have recommended them to thousands of people who have shared their foot pain with me and I will continue to recommend them until I die.

Like that they are thin

Good foot beds. I’ve been using these for sesamoid issues. I like that they fit altras and the like.

Best foot beds

I'm on my feet constantly. These are a life saver

Excellent foot support, sizing...meh

I purchased these footbeds for a pair of leather hunting boots with 600 grams of insulation. The foot support is amazing and having my heels "locked in" made a huge difference in side-hilling and steep descents. Sizing and thickness suggestions could be more accurate. My boots are size 10D. The sizing guide recommended size 10 and Thick insoles which I had to trim. 9.5's i think would have fit perfectly and the medium thickness would have been a better choice for insulated boots that are worn with liner socks and merino socks. With that said, I know it's impossible to know the fit of each individual boot or shoe out there, trimming was easy with sharp scissors and while I think mediums would be better, the thicks do not reduce the volume of the boots enough to cause fit issues. Overall I'm very happy with them and know better what to order next time. In fact, I've already ordered another pair for some Crispi boots.

Arch pain has gone away

I have a collapsed arch on one foot and normal on the other. These footbeds are perfect because they conform to my too different feet and give me the support I need where I need it! I have several pairs for different shoes. Couldn’t afford to do that with custom footbeds. A great alternative.

Best products

I first started wearing sole footbeds when recommended by my podiatrist These footbeds are so comfortable and provide much relief for foot pain

Almost perfect insoles

I recently bought the thick active version, and they’ve made a world of difference! Though, the cushioning is a tiny bit bulky. I might try the medium version on my next purchase. They fit well in my shoes and have noticeably reduced foot fatigue, even after long days on my feet.

Always comes thru

After suffering many foot injuries i needed a perfect fit for my sneakers and shoes...Sole products always gave me relief and would highly recommend!

Damnchap

Uncomfortable with extra thin sole

Purchased this on clearance and found it to be uncomfortable with little cushioning under foot. I would class this as nearly a barefoot shoe - apart from the included arch support.

m curtis

shoe does not fit my foot

I've been using sole products for over 10 years, and this is the first product I have not rated as 5 stars. Always buy W8 footwear/insoles. These shoes run big and do not fit my heel--heel slips out easily.

Life changing for my foot pain

Not only would I recommend these but I have - to family and friends and coworkers!

Sunsweetsinger

So comfortable

These beach flips are my everyday house shoes. The cork footbed is comfortable and never sweaty. The straps stay slightly off of the top of my foot, and so it’s an airy fit. They feel great for recovery. Sadly, and the reason for subtracting a star, they continue to break in the same way. The toe piece comes out of the cork footbed after some wear, making them unwearable. My third pair broke after less than a week. Despite that, I love the fit and feel and wish I could trust them to last longer.

Best footbeds- Dr approved!

been wearing these for years in all my sports sneakers. Great support, especially with the Metpad. I prefer the cork models. Foot Dr was impressed with the quality of these.

Supportive but a little thick.

Very supportive footbeds that help reduce pronation. They are just a little thick at the heel and the back of my foot slides past the heel-lock in my shoes. The thin models are better for me.

First time cork foot bed buyer

I've been buying SOLE products for some 20 years, always only the plastic Active type though. It appeared to me that they would last for longer. Well, it remains to be seen how long the cork ones last but I probably still have the very first plastic pair I bought, somewhere in my old ski boots. However, now I finally tried the Performance (cork) variant and I'm a new convert! They feel, even if possibly don't measure, slightly thinner (or maybe softer, more compressible?) than the new Active pair of the same nominal thickness, that I got at the same time, which is nice if you hate tight shoes. Even more importantly though, they seem to be offering less resistance to the forefoot flexion. That extra resistance was the only reason why I preferred a competitor brand inserts for my running shoes. For any other type of footwear with stiffer soles (hiking boots, ski boots, xcountry ski shoes, cycling shoes) I always used the SOLE brand. So from now on I'll be buying these Performance insoles for all of my running shoes! And I do have more pairs of those than a reasonably sane person could consider normal. Sorry, I can't give you the exact number! My wife may be reading this LOL. And yes, they do squeak a little but I really can't care less while panting up some steep rocky trail! Now I only hope that the thin ones with the met pad come back to stock in my size soon.

Good old standard with some extra

I own too many to count pairs of SOLE products in all three thickness variations plus a few "special edition" ones that I acquired over the years. In the last couple of years my previously undiagnosed pelvic position asymmetry (and the resulting gait asymmetry) started to cause me a pain in my left forefoot. Adding the met pad to the standard foot arch support contributes to the correction of this gait asymmetry and gives my foot some pain relief (on top of the physio treatment and focusing on the proper body posture, of course).

John H

For thinner footed individuals

I have wide feet and this shoe just is one the narrow side so they just hurt. I bought them on final sale so I cannot return them.

the only insoles I use now

After going through powerstep, superfeet and many generic insoles - Sole insoles with met pads are my go to. After injuring my foot during my last marathon, and going through so many other brands - I'm finally getting some relief using these.

Good support

These insoles improve my foot pain and make walking much more comfortable. My doctor recommended them.

Best for work

I’ve been wearing these for work and haven’t had any foot pain since I got them.

Love sole brand insoles.

I own 3 pair of active with met pad, medium. No more ankle, knee, or hip pain. The best insole I have ever owned. Better than foot levers insole in my opinion.

Excellent foot support

I have worn Sole Footbeds in all my athletic shoes for over 20 years. I teach aerobics, run and hike. I wouldn't think of doing any of these activities without Sole Footbeds in my shoes. The footbeds have helped reduce injuries and prevent my plantar fasciitis from reoccurring. A few years back I developed a dropped metatarsal in one foot. I switched to using the Sole footbeds with a metatarsal pad and they helped quite a bit.

Great Footbeds

I have been using Sole footbeds for a few years now and love them. They are comfortable and affordable. I used to get terrible foot cramps but since I have been using the Sole footbeds I have not had any issues. I have also bought my wife a couple pairs of the Sole flip-flops and she loves them.

Excellent!

These were recommended by my foot doctor and they are the best. I have a fallen arch and I can go hiking with these. I use them in all my shoes and they feel like they belong. When I replace I put the old ones in my slippers.

Francisco Pataro

Good foot bed

I use it on my soccer shoes and can feel the difference

Has helped with foot and back pain

My husband was wearing a different brand of insoles. His new foot doctor told him he was wearing the wrong size and that there were better choices. This was one of the choices so he gave them a try and they have really helped with his foot pain and his back pain.

Soles

They worked better as the wide rather than the one with the med pad. I had surgery on my foot ended with up with a toe removed then a total of 6 surgeries were it's hard to walk .The ony thing that is kinda helping is the sole thank you for atheist have some mobility.

Active Footbed

My foot feels so much better !

Molds to your foot well but not perfectly

I don’t know if it’s because I have really low arches but even after heating them up and wearing in my shoes for weeks, I can still feel the insole push up against my arches. I do think they mold well to my feet, they’re just not quite perfect for me.

Amazing For My Foot Pain

I've been using these for about a month and have switched all of my shoes to them now. I've been able to run again.

Very easy to use

Great foot bed and easy to use! The price is reasonable.

Put them in all my shoes

Since my plantar fasciitis was coming back, I stopped into a podiatrists and they said make sure you shoes are good and give your foot good support. If you don't want custom them the only thing we sell is SOLE, so I tried them. Then I bought more and then a few more. I like the performance line for being a bit softer but they are not as resilient as the Active line so I only put them in shoes that I am prepared to leave them in. I have about 8 pairs, some of each line depending on the shoe. I wear size 12 and ordered size 12 and they have always fit, as long as the shoe has a removable footbed.

Great arch support

I love the heel and arch support. I wish that these soles had more support in the ball of one's foot. That's where I have most of my foot pain when I walk a lot.

Very good insole

I wear Dansko sneakers, they have good insoles, but even then I was having toe pain. I have a bunion on one foot with a dropped arch on that foot, so better arch support was needed. I ordered the Sole active with met pad. There is a noticeable improvement. I heat them in the oven initially. I have now ordered a second pair.

Great comfort

I've given myself enough time to adjust to these foot pads, and I find them to be very close to the orthopedic ones I use on daily shoes. These ones I use in my slippers around the house and they keep my feet well balanced. Without them I pronate.

True Comfort

I've been using these footbeds for years. They have been comfortable and have made my foot, leg and knee pain dissappear.

Best foot beds ever!!!

I use these foot beds in all my work sneakers and running sneakers!!!

Met pad for sole support

I was unsure about these, but am glad I went with my gut on getting a much bigger size, for my particular metatarsal support needs. It helps prevent foot aches when used in my (other than Birkenstock) footwear.

Footed 2

I have to have these in every tennis shoe

Great insoles

I have been purchasing this brand for years. Love the met pad. Podiatrist tells Me wearing such good insoles has saved me from Foot surgery

Fixed my plantar fasciitis

I developed plantar fasciitis from wearing shoes with little arch support. It was so bad I often couldn't walk. The Sole foot beds solved the issue and I now regularly get 10k-20k steps in a day walking my dog. Highly recommended.

A Sole for sore feet

These foot beds were easy to install and immediately improved comfort and reduced foot soreness. The arch lift is significant but a bit softer than ideal. i wish there was extra arch lift padding as my arches are extremely high and i have added a bit of foam to help..

Great product

These insoles have relieved the pain in the ball of my foot and allowed me to walk our golden retriever daily!

Relief

These insoles were recommended by my podiatrist for my plantar fasciitis. Along with exercises, the insoles have helped me overcome my foot pain and limitations. I have recommended Sole to many of my family and friends.

Exactly what I needed

These footbeds have provided just the right amount of support in the arch. The met pad has given relief and comfort in the forefoot and the heal cup keeps my heal from feeling like it’s float around in the shoe and lifting. All without adding bulk inside my running shoes. The feel is more comfortable with better control of the foot

I wish I had known about these years ago!

After years and hundreds of dollars on custom foot beds a sports medicine doctor recommended these to me. He said to wear them for six weeks and if I wasn’t much improved, come back and see him. Four weeks later my feet hurt less than they have in about 10 years.

Easy and inexpensive solution to minor foot issue

I’ve been wearing this SOLE product in my running shoes and love the difference they make in improving the alignment of my feet. I won’t need expensive orthotics. Comfortable too!

Great footpads

I’ve been wearing these inside my running shoes and have had no foot pain since using.

Great for hiking, stabilizing your foot, prevents ankle from turning.

Wear everyday for 2mile walk/hike.

Excellent non-custom footbeds

I have had several pairs of Soles at this point, with and with out Met pads. Simply put, they have been the best non-custom orthotic for me. The arch support is excellent and while it feels strange at first the met pads really do help relieve and redistribute pressure. While they are by no means cheap the are definitely the best affordable option to relieve foot pain from fallen/flat arches etc.

Definitely deserves 5/5

Did some research into finding something to alleviate ball of foot pain, for me it was the left foot around the big and 2nd toe. The issue was any hockey skates I tried on would start causing pain and discomfort in that area. I actually got to the point of thinking I'd have to play and skate less to deal with the pain. But after comparing Superfeet, Sidas, and several insole brands actually, I found that the SOLE met pad in medium was the best for me and actually eliminated the pain and discomfort I felt while in skates. Can skate again without issue for 3-5 hours a day. I don't advocate for like any products, I've written very few reviews over the years. However, these definitely deserve to be praised since they actually work as advertised. I wear size 10.5-11 shoes and have been using a men's size 11 met pad in several pairs of size 8.5 Wide/Fit 3 hockey skates for over a month. If I get a year out of them then totally worth it, they do seem to be durable and good quality, no problems so far. As a side note, the CCM AS1 skates came stock with an almost 5mm thick insole which I got used to. 100% medium works well in hockey skates, the thin met pad will obviously work too but don't think thin is the only choice for hockey skates. I have the medium met pads in Bauer M4's, M40's, M5 Pro's, and Mach's. They all fit amazing and I definitely prefer the extra padding.

Great foot beds

Great foot beds. These have dramatically decreased my foot pain. However, I think I prefer the athletic ones over the performance option. The athletic ones seem to be a bit more firm and ridgid, which is what my feet seem to prefer. The only other downfall with the performance option is that the cork base on the footbed does squeak in certain shoes.

Comfortable, feet happy

I've been wearing these for weeks and so far so good. My right foot is flat, my left has an arch due to surgery. Orthotics have always been an issue. So far, these are supportive and comfortable. They're keepers!

So happy I finally bought these

My podiatrist actually recommended these insoles a year ago and I put off buying them. I have high arches and was having foot pain. From the first wear I had less pain and now after several weeks, I can walk much longer and no pain! I don’t know how I lived without these for so long. I’ve bought several pairs now and cannot wear shoes without these anymore.

Amazing product

My foot was killing me and I had just bought two new pairs of running shoes. I bought a couple sets of these Soles and within a couple weeks my foot was feeling great. I will be buying more of the for my other shoes. Great product, well made and delivery time is super fast.

Great

I use these in my work boots, they help a lot with foot pain and fatigue during a 12 hour work day.

Great

I use these in my day to day shoes, they help a lot with foot pain.

Best Footbeds EVER!

I've been wearing these footbeds for weeks now, they have changed the relationship my feet have with my running shoes. It's as if my feet feel energized before, after and during my exercise. My SOLE footbeds support my foot arches, making my entire foot feel so much better than before I discovered the footbeds. You owe it to your feet to buy a pair, trim the ends to fit your shoe and discover what I did in SOLE Footbeds. Your feet will love you for it!

Better than expected

I bought these insoles for my hiking shoes and my first impression was that I should have bought the Active Medium -- but no, after forming them in a warm oven, following the instructions provided, they fitted perfectly. On a long hike without these insoles I had the sensation that my socks were gathering up under the ball of my foot -- in reality they weren't. With the insoles I have no such sensation and my feet come off the trail relaxed, pain free, and ready for more. Build quality is great too. Highly recommended.

Essential foot care

I have a pair of Soles in every pair of my shoes. They are fantastic and help me immensely with my very sore wide feet.

Great foot bed

as we all know almost all shoes come with the thin flat foam foot bed that provides no support and little cushioning. I have placed Sole footbeds in most of my shoes and boots and could not be happier with this product I would recommend to anyone to try this product.

Excellent inner soles

As I've aged, my left metatarsal would get achy and tired after long periods of standing, walking, or hiking. I thought a better insole might help this issue. Gratefully these inner soles resolved this issue. I've replaced the inner soles in my sneakers, golf shoes, and hiking boots. My foot does not get tired and achy now. Highly recommended.

Foot beds

2nd time to order. Perfect

Great foodbeds

Sturdy without being hard on the foot, great fit.

Not as much cushion, but still foot forming

Don't like to use these in my flats, but work well in runners. They don't offer as much cushion.

Best money spent !

A really good investment and really helped my feet !! Flat footed and was recommended to use to help form an arch in my feet and it has so far !

Perfect for my new hiking boots

My hiking boots have a large toe box and these thick sole pads fit great into them, giving more cushion, comfort and support than the supposedly "orthotic" footbeds that came with the boots. Wearing them while gardening has reduced the foot pain I usually have in the ball of my foot.

Perfect for my "cute" sneakers

This fit great into my little white sneakers giving me excellent foot support and reducing pain in the ball of my foot.

Earthing shoe

I am very interested in your Jasper Chucka. With very little change, this shoe could become an earthing shoe. The earthing/grounding shoe market is wide open and so far the shoes available don’t work for those who would like a cork footbed or have specific foot pain issues. This is a growing group as boomers age. I hope you will consider this alteration. Please continue to offer cork footbeds, I love love love your products.

Comfortable foot beds

I have 2 pair of these foot beds with the metatarsal pad. I keep one in a pair of runners and the second pair I move between my golf shoes. They do make walking the golf course much easier. The only negative is that I have to continually change them from one pair of golf shoes to another!!🤭

Really helped with my foot and ankle pain

Recovering from two broken legs and nearly 3 months of bedrest these soles are really helping with my foot and ankle pain as I get back on my feet.

What every foot needs

These move, easily, from one pair of shoes to the next. I never leave home without them!

Your foot's best friend

Trekked around Europe for two weeks and my feet couldn't be happier.

Most excellent! 😎👍

Have been using these for years. Without these would like not be able to continue pedaling . The difference in foot comfort over a stock footbed is amazing! Highly recommend!

Terrific footbeds.

I tell everyone to order SOLE foot beds. They literally change everything for the better.

Foot saving foot beds

Been wearing these for many years, nothing better.

Best foot bed replacements ever!

These foot bed replacements are far superior to manufacturer footbeds.

SOLE is everything as advertised

I first got SOLE from a chiropractor in Colorado, prior to 2005. I loved them. Then my spine gave up and I had surgeries, therapy, etc. and I got away from wearing them! Big mistake! Then one day this year I came across my 'old' SOLE's, pulled them out, put them in my shoe and immediately thought I had gone to heaven. I am now 80, but will continue to wear my SOLE insert to help my bunions, swollen metatarsal heads, and old injury to left knee and foot. It should be mandatory that everyone try them.

Awesome insoles!

I have been wearing these active footbeds for approximately 7 years . I love these them and literally can’t go without them. I have foot problems and can’t walk around barefoot or with shoes that don’t have these in them. However with them I walk several miles a day without any issues. I am a big fan of them!

Satisfaction

Hello, I've been wearing the Performance Medium with Met Pad for about a week and all I can say is wow. I was skeptical purchasing insoles online but decided to give them a try. I must say that I'm extremely happy with the fit and function of my insoles. After trimming the insole to fit into my shoe with ease and then the comfort having them in my shoes has been a blessing. I don't have any foot or back pain after a days work like I did previously without the insoles. Best decision I made was to purchase and will definitely be a return customer.

Supportive yet flexible

These provide good support for my arches, while still being flexible enough to let me flex my foot a lot as I walk.

David Stutsman

Comfortable Foot Support

Feet feel good after a long day.

Relief of pain

The Sole footbed's are a game changer! I would like to have them in all my shoes. I noticed a difference in the foot and leg pain after a very short time!

John Forrest

Medium width work insoles

These insoles provide good foot support in shoes that don't accommodate the thick sole insoles that are my normal go to.

Great for Altra's not so great for Topo Athletic shoes

They fit my Altra Lone Peak Hikers perfectly. However there is about a 1/8 - 1/4 inch gap at the toe end of my Topo Athletic shoes. I've tried them in two different pairs of Topo's and its the same problem in both. All of the shoes are women's size 8 so it is frustrating that these insoles are not easily interchangeable. I've thought about getting a larger insole and trimming them down to fit my Topo's, but worry that the arch support won't line up properly with my foot.

schain

wonderful foot bed

I have bought many insoles from this company. the insoles from yourself.com and as good if not better than custom insoles. The Lifestyle insole is amazing in that it is thin enough to wear comfortably but still provides the right support. The cover to the insoles is extremely nice, and feels great on the foot. I strongly recomend.

Love them

I wish they would continue to make these, I love them in my Altra shoes and will continue to buy them if possible. I have been using this combo for a few years now and my foot pain is virtually non-existent now.

Jasper Chukka shoes

I bouhgt a pair of Jasper Chukka shoes for my daughter. The delivery was on time. The size fits perfectly. My daughter also uses the purchased insoles with the shoes. The shoes are very comfortable and best of all, they visibly correct her flat foot problem by preventing her ankles bending inward when she walks! I'm very happy with this purchase! I'd definitely recommend this product.

Best insert foot beds

I hike a lot of miles and these footbed’s make every step like walking on a pillow. Like the so much I bought 3 pairs so I don’t have keep switching them.

Best foot beds for running

I’ve been buying sole for over five years and love these footbeds. Consistent in quality and incredibly supportive for my runs and strength training

Amazingly comfortable!

Got these foot pads post foot surgery. Worked incredibly well!

Helped with foot pain.

I never assumed I really needed and soul to help get rid of the pain of plantar fasciitis

Best footbed

I’ve been wearing these for a few years now and my foot pain is gone. I have them in all my sneakers and shoes. They make all the difference in the world , no more heel pain!

Glad I found these

The SOLE met pads were exactly what I needed. They definitely helping me get through the day with less foot pain.

Very good footbeds

Used in cycling shoes. The footbeds fixed a problem I have had for years. Tried many other including custom footbeds to no avail. Left foot would get hotfoot but not now. Great relief.

Incredible for foot pain

This footbed is perfect - medium thickness so fits easily into my hiking boots and gives excellent support plus the met pad for my foot pain - thank you Sole for providing this product!

Fixed my foot pain

I’ve been using Sole products for a number of years. I’m a nurse and am active outdoors. This footbed has decreased flares of plantar fasciitis and Capsulitis of the second toe. I highly recommend this item.

Love these shoes

I have purchased sole foot beds before but this is the first time that I ordered their shoes. They don’t come in 1/2 sizes and they felt a little tight at first. I contacted customer service and they assured me they would stretch and they were right. I wore them on my trip in Europe and they were fantastic. I would love it if they made a dark blue pair as well.

Best foot pads I’ve ever worn!

I’ve tried numerous foot pads/inserts over the last 49 years, including custom made inserts, I have finally found the solution to my foot and lower back pain, the Sole full length foot pad. I’ve been wearing them now for 8 weeks and absolutely love them. They were easy to trim as needed and the best feature is the cupping of the heel plus the full length. Strongly recommend this product.

No more pain on the arch of my foot

If been wearing this for years

Quality Product

I've had several pairs of these over the years and find them to be the only insoles that work to relieve my foot pain.

GREAT personal customer service and great SOLE inserts

Orthopedic surgeon suggested I be fitted for personal orthotics for my issue. Before dropping $500 for something insurance was not going to cover at all, I did a lot of research and tried SOLE inserts. They have been super helpful and seem to have solved my foot issue. I tried both the cork ones and the plastic base ones and they feel the same, but the cork ones did squeak a bit, so that is why I switched to the plastic base ones. I had two separate issues of my own doing that I contacted customer service for and they were phenomenal and personal responses. I will forever be ordering and recommending SOLE inserts to anyone that asks me.

My go to

This footbed is the one I turn to as soon as I buy new boots. Molds to my feet quite good and gives me plenty of support. I put these into my daily boots and also my hunting boots. I use these for hiking mountains, sheep hunting, elk hunting etc… The best foot beds I found in Canada so far.

Feet matter

Sole works for arch support comfort. Great way to start avoiding $400.00 foot prosthetics. Bought 2 pair for day shoe and hike boots. Then do yourself a favor and start foot exercises to build up and protect your foot flexibility.

Best foot beds ever

Durable and great support

Great Insert

My family uses these inserts for all our shoes. We all have a high arch and low instep which is referred to a low volume foot profile. This insert supports the arch and helps with shoe fit. If you don't have extra room in the shoe, tak out the insert that comes with the shoe and get the extra thin one.

The only insole that works in minimal shoes

I’ve been looking for ages to find an insole that would give me a bit of arch support in my minimal/barefoot shoes when walking on hard road surfaces, without limiting the ground-feel or flexibility. These are perfect! I initially felt they were a bit too restrictive and rigid on the outer foot, but this quickly disappeared after heat molding and wearing for about 10km of walking. So comfortable, and just enough support while still letting the feet and toes do their job.

These are amazing foot beds!

The Active Thick with Met Pad, with arch support, met pad and just enough cushioning, has given me the ability to walk on trails and hard surfaces with amazing comfort without - neuroma pain. Medical foot care is no longer needed. Soles Active Thick Met pad was the answer. I extremely grateful.

My experience with Soles

I have been using sole footbeds for a number of years. They were first introduced to me by a doctor when I was struggling with a running related injury. My feet take the double whammy of being a runner, working long hours on concrete<( average 14000 steps a day at work), and being well over 200 lbs. I wear the soles at work, and I absolutely cannot use any other footbed. The biggest deal to me is not the padding, they actually don't have that much, but they put my foot at the perfect natural strike position. they are a must have ppe device for me. I do not use them in my running shoes. Running makes my feet feel better, but for long hours walking on concrete, I recommend them over any other footbed or gel pad you can find.

Very comfy and supportive, sizing is way off

These are great and nearly eliminate foot and back pain when I'm on my feet all day. Only complaint is that I had to cut a couple inches off the end because the advertised size is so far off. Also, I never received a shipping confirmation so I wasted the time of customer service trying to figure out why my order had not shipped.

Shoes

The sole itself is very comfortable, but the shoe offers no foot or ankle support for those wearing these shoes for pain relief/injury.

The best!

Cured my foot pain!

Best foot beds

These are actually for my husband and they have solved all the sore heels , achy feet and ankles. Good product

Sole Savers

Working outdoors with heavy boots really wears on my feet, back and hips. Since I started using these foot beds in my work boots, I actually look forward to putting them on everyday. I used to count down the hours until I could take my boots off, and now most of that pain and discomfort is gone.

Great foot beds for cycling shoes

Wearing these in my clip less bike shoes. Helps with the bike fit by keeping my knees from moving and shifting.

As good as the insoles from foot tech

I've been buying theses for years,

Love the thins!

These still support my foot well and fit into most of my shoes without removing the insoles.

Best foot orthotics

I have multiple pairs in many shoes Love how they feel

Consistent Quality. Great comfort

These are great and fit into those slimmer profile shoes. Great arch support gives excellent foot comfort when on your feet for long periods.

Good for support in less bulky shoes

Good for dainty shies where too much bulk under the foot would lift you too much out of the shoe. Been a long time user.

Eases my foot pain

I love them

Love my Sole footbeds!

I have the active thin foot beds in my hiking shoes; golf shoes; and tennis shoes. After wearing the foot beds for a short time in these shoes, my knee pain and hip tightness have disappeared. I am thrilled and also love the feel of the footbeds when I walk - they are so comfortable!

Excellent Product

I recently began a walking/hiking program and suffered from foot pain even with high level hiking shoes. The Sole Active Medium insole has totally illuminated any foot pain making my walks and hikes pain free. I purchased an additional pair for my golf shoes and love them.

Best for many ails

I've been wearing these for 2 yrs now, buying new ones with each new pair of shoes. My pedorthist recommended them after I had a microfracture in my left foot. Would not find myself without them ever again !

You’ve done it! I’ve been using a pad but your footbed is so much better. Thank you!

My foot is happy hiking with this footbed. Been using it for a few weeks now and I have less pain and faster recovery.

Comfy but a little squeaky

Can stand up for a long time with these in, but they squeak when I walk, the right foot especially.

Great for hiking shoes

I added these to my hiking shoes for a trip to Az and I didn’t have any foot pain the enture trip!

Helped with foot pain, support.

I use sole footbeds in all of my shoes.

Comfortable footbeds!

I've been using these foot beds for several years and they are truly supportive and comfortable.

Best Footbeds with now added Met Pad support

Have always been a Medium Sole footbed advocate with several pair in all shoes I wear daily... wanted to try the Met pad option as I don’t own a pair.. surprised with the additional comfort and support to foot base…

Goodbye Foot Pain

Have used these footbeds for years - have them for walking shoes, dress shoes, and everyday shoes. Far superior than any I was able to buy.

Five AT Thru Hikes

I’ve used Sole insoles on dice complete hikes of the Appalachian Trail over the past ten years. I’ve never had a moment of foot pain in over 10.000 miles of backpacking. I recommend Sole insoles to everyone. I am a lifetime fan.

Very comfortable

I started using inserts based on a recommedation from my foot doctor. The Sole inserts are more comfortable than the standard inserts offered by my doctor. I prefer the cork since they use renewable material and adjust through wear. They do make a slight noise in some shoes while walking, but overall they are good. I also use the non-cork inserts which do not make noise when walking.

Replaced in new balance sneaker

Had these for about a month and seem better than the original liner. Moulds to your foot and very comfortable.

Comfy but no difference

Specifically bought for Morton's neuroma on 1 foot: pad fit perfectly in boot and is comfy but I have seen no difference at all in my MN condition. Nice they made it in thick sizing too for my winter boot - I think trudging on cement for 10km/day caused my issue esp since left foot is slightly smaller so had more movement in boot during shift - I wonder if I had this in my boot before my shift it would have prevented the injury...

These are good

They were onsale and my foot is between a narrow and wide so I just trimmed it enough to fit my shoes better.

I have my life back

I’ve been using these foot beds for years!

Disappointed

Had to go back to original insole of shoe because cork was too hard and created blisters on one side of foot.

helped with pain

I had pain in my foot and physio recommended this type and it helped

Good insole

I like the thickness of this cork footed. I could wear all the day

Solved my foot problem

I wear them in my work sneakers. I am on my feet as a PE teacher. My daughter recommended them to me as she is brand ambassador for SOLE. She recommends to her team mates and family.

Great foot beds, have them in all my shoes.

Every bit as good as custom orthotics at a fraction of the price.

Great fit and durability

I have had a few pairs of Sole insoles, the thin ones are perfect for ski boots, cleats, and running racing shoes. I have yet to need to replace any of them, the ones in my ski boots have over 100 days of skiing and have saved me a lot of foot and calf pain. I have been recommending them to others over any other brand and overpriced custom-made insoles.

These are the ones to buy!

Love these soles! I've been wearing them in my work boots and my foot pain has disappeared. Now they're in my hiking boots, too! Wonderful!

Very comfortable foot beds

I use these foot beds for races in place of my custom made orthotics because the custom made ones will break down in water. They feel great and have not broke down.

Best Foot Beds

My PCP recommended Sole Footbeds to me 20 years ago for my running shoes to help relieve a case of painful plantar fasciitis. Within a month of using the footbeds the plantar fasciitis had healed. I was impressed enough that I bought a pair of the footbeds specific to each type of shoe that I wear — running, hiking, golf, street, and topsiders — and have continued to refresh them with new pairs every few years. Comfortable, effective, and supportive, I don’t wear shoes without them. No more plantar fasciitis.

Great for sneakers

Effective in reducing foot pain and comfortable in sneakers.

Excellent product

These footbeds are effective in reducing my child’s foot pain. The only issue was that they were purchased for her soccer cleats and they do not fit them but they do fit well in her sneakers. These are the second pair I have purchased for her. Great product.

Great insoles!

My foot surgeon recommended these for my broken foot. They work better than the boot shoe!

Excellent for sport (tennis)

I bought them for my son who is a competitive junior tennis player. He needed some time to adjust to a met pad, but otherwise he loves them. They added the additional support and stability that he was lacking when running and sliding side to side. So after two weeks he asked for another pair of foot beds to put in his regular shoes, since he didn’t want to walk anymore without having them on. They are extremely durable, he is using them for two months already, trains over 10 hours per week and there’s no sign of wear and tear.

Love them

I was recommended wearing these years ago, what a difference they have made. I’ve never dealt with foot pain like I have in the past. They are great.

Recommend

I recommend these to anyone who has foot issues like I do. They have been a lifesaver.

Pretty comfortable, light weight

I like these because they are easy to slip on and don't put pressure on the top of my foot where I have an injury. Great for casual wear. They have a bit less arch support than I expected. I feel like they shouldn't need extra insoles (like one e-mail suggested). Also kind of pricey.

Prevent injury

My daughter uses SOLE in all her shoes to prevent shin splints and injury due to being flat footed. This has seem to help her tremendously.

You can’t go wrong with these foot pads!!

I have been wearing the performance thick with Met Pad for several weeks. I have already noticed I am having less pain in my legs

Best insole I have found for supinating. Keeps my foot neutral.

I have several pair now and put them in all my shoes. Finally found something That works for my sore feet.

Shelly M

I have had these for several weeks now and they really helped with the walking. My foot is badly pronated and they cannot correct it but they did make it more comfortable.

Foot beds

I have a son with injured feet and the SOLE foot beds allow him to walk mitigating pain and discomfort.

Cushion and support

Highly comfortable with the met pad being present but not intrusive providing good support. I have been wearing these in combat boots daily for flight operations and they have improved my foot fatigue and I believe have reduced chronic back pain because of the support they provide my feet and lower body.

Quality foot bed

Put them in my cycling shoes for better support. Gives me way more contact on the pedals.

Excellent foot beds

I buy the performance thick foot beds for my work shoes and I’m so happy with them , they are thin enough that my shoes don’t fit to tight but they are strong enough to provide support for my feet while standing all day , I had heal spurs but these foot beds have helped relieve that pain

Needed a little more support.

The insoles were very comfortable and conformed to my feet well using the oven technique for molding. Unfortunately, my left foot has moderate overpronation and has a collapsing/low arch, and the insoles just did not give that foot the support that is needed. My right foot has a lower arch, but no other issues, and the insole felt just about perfect in that foot. I am definitely glad I tried Sole insoles, and I would not hesitate giving them a try as long as you don't have collapsing or flat arches. Customer service was great!

Wife loves these

I bought these for my wife to replace the insoles in her running shoes and she loves them! She especially liked how you can use the oven to custom mold the insole to your foot.

Pain relievers

These insoles align my whole body making my foot and back pain go away. I am delighted I found Sole insoles!

Best Support for Flat Feet

I've used the SOLE inserts for many years. Specifically, the red footed with white writing. They have provided the best long term support for my fallen arches and flat feet. Without these SOLE inserts I would experience pain in various locations to include my arch, achilles, and knee. Yes, they are expensive, but I have not found a more durable effective product.

Love these foot beds!!

These foot beds are true to size, and the make my feet fill great!! I am on my feet a good majority of the day, so having great insoles and comfortable shoes is a must!

Best footbeds ever

I have been using SOLE Met foot beds for about 6 months now as recommended by my podiatrist and I am back to my Jazzercise class (which is a lot of jumping and turning) and no more pain!!! I can go on long hikes again without pain. Thank you SOLE!!!!

great job...

they helped tremendously with my foot issues.

Shoe fit adjustment

These foot beds help simplify the adjustment of a shoe for a perfect fit

Won't do without

These insoles gave me relief from foot fatigue. I did not realize how much until I recently bough a new pair of boots (same brand and style) to replace my worn out ones. After a few days I noticed the fatigue setting in with the factory insoles. Ordered up another pair for the new boots.

Comfortable Shoe

I've had these shoes for about a month and have worn them frequently. They are very comfortable in the uppers, and gentle on foot landing. I will wear them a lot this summer.

Number 1 foot bed for me

I’ve been wearing these for weeks and love them

great footbeds

I had plantar fasciitis and it was very painfull to walk. After using SOLE foot beds for a few mouths it is mostly gone! I still use them everyday to keep my feet happy :)

Feedback on Performance Thin with Met Pad, Men's 9 / Women's 11 | Final Sale

I bought these to help with plantar fasciitis, but they didn't help at all. Rather they actually led to more foot, knee, and hip pain.

Best insole ever

Insoles are durable and really help reduce foot pain. I hike 5-6 miles a day and couldn't do it without my Sole insoles. Met pad works well and holds up well to long term wear and use.

I can walk without pain again!

I developed a metatarsal problem in my right foot and my podiatrist recommended SOLE Meta foot beds for this problem. They work so well I have them in every pair of shoes I own. I purchased the thin Meta pads for my dress shoes. Thank you SOLE for such a great product!

Excellent arch support

I bought these for my curling shoes and they’ve really helped relieve my foot cramps and aches. My order arrived very quickly. I really like that they’re made from recycled cork but would have liked it even more if there was no plastic packaging.

These shoes are amazing!

I have foot and hip problems and have navigated to sturdy shoes. I wear Sole insoles in all my shoes. When I first saw the shoes, I thought Oh No these are not sturdy, when I tried them on it was “Boy these shoes are comfortable”. Have been wearing them for the past week and still comfortable. I don’t even need Sole in sole in them. They are expensive but certainly worth it for me.

Best Footbed

Have been purchasing and using SOLE footbed for over 5 years. It has helped my plantar fasciitis, this foot bed fit perfectly in a pair of shoes that has minimal space.

They're great

I like the thick ones best, but they don't fit my shoes. Medium still provides enough cushioning and the shape supports my foot nicely.

Beautiful, casual, amazing shoes

I love the casual, eco-friendly look. They make a beautiful foot. They're comfortable and fun to wear. The only problem is that they don't come in half sizes, so if I take them larger, they're a bit wide for me. I also have a 2nd smaller pair, which makes a great foot, but a little tight in the toes! But I love my 2 pairs!

Great insoles

I bought 2 insoles, the Active Medium with Met Pad and the Active Thick with Met Pad. Very happy with both pairs as they are comfortable and give my foot the support they need. Will definitely buy from SOLE again.

Will buy more

Nice sturdy arch support. I like the mediums more than the thick foot beds. Very comfortable

These foot beds work!

These footbeds truely work for plantar fasciitis. I have the active footbeds for most of my shoes and tried the thin for some of my less roomy shoes and they work just as well. So happy to have these footbeds for my shoes.

These foot beds work!

I tried multiple different inserts and treatments for planter fasciitis and nothing else helped. These are the only thing that helped and I am so happy to have found them. The only thing I don't like is that even the normal width ones are wide and I have had to try and trim down the forefoot portion so they will fit in some of my shoes.

My favorite

I've been wearing SOLE footbeds for many years. In particular the Active Thick is best for my use. I'm a walker and I always have my footbeds in my shoes when I walk. This style fits my foot and offers exactly the kind of cushiopn and arch support I need without being too bulky inside my shoe. The longevity of the SOLE footbeds is also I big plus for me. Love them!

Love them

Right from the minute I put them on I noticed the difference. No more pain across ball of my foot . I also like the high arch support. I have since bought 2 more pairs

Love these

Bought these to go in my flatter shoes and they helped a lot with foot pain

Perfect for my Muck Boots

My new SOLE footbeds have been life changing. I can't believe it took me so long. I purchased them for my Muck Boots that I wear year round for working outside and what a difference! The footbeds provide structure to the footbed of the boot, giving me greater support for digging with a shovel, and they take up the extra space that previously had allowed my foot to wobble in the boot. Now they fit like a work boot should fit!

Great customizable support

I’ve worn the Active Wide Medium footbeds for two years now between a couple pairs of them. They provide excellent arch support as well as just enough cushioning in my hiking shoes (Altra Olympus) without taking up too much volume. I heat molded mine as I needed the arch just a tad lower than how they came and found it worked perfectly. The Active version lasts longer than the Performance footbed for hiking due to its plastic bottom instead of cork. I can get these wet again and again and the plastic will bounce right back whereas the cork wears out faster from moisture. Each have their own purpose and are great, but my go to is still the Active for my usage. If you wear Altra’s or wide fitting shoes these are the best footbeds on the market right now for decreasing foot fatigue and helping you hiking longer!

Best footbeds I have ever used.

No more foot pain!

Love these foot beds.

I have been using these foot beds for years. Finally no foot pain!

Gave it a try

I always bought the Performance medium wide in the past but since I started using a zero drop running brand footwear I refrained from adding a footbed. As running footwear tend to wear out faster I decided to get a couple of SOLE footbeds to extend my usage of the footwear. I was pleasantly surprised that I did not experience any discomfort walking at work on cement floors for 8 hours that day. I was hesitant because my footwear is a wide variant but the regular width of the Active thick footbed was enough to cover the bottom without my foot feeling the edges. I mistakenly bought a smaller size but everything went well. My arch was happy and my toe box was cushioned. I would definitely buy more of this style in the future.

Supportive

These foot beds seem to have the most support out of the ones I have tried in past. I returned to a pair of shoes with super feet and noticed a massive difference in comfort and support. It will be SOLE

Love this footbed

I bought them because they last for years and my first ones were bought in 2014 after a foot operation

Great support

I have these foot beds on all my shoes and boots ( even my house slippers). The relief from the pain of my plantar fascitis keeps me going otherwise I can barely walk.

Pillows

These are long lasting, foot forming comfort. They mold to your foot. I have been using these footbeds for years with no complaints. These, paired with the right shoes, make a long day of walking on concrete floors easy on your feet and back.

Best foot bed ever

I’ve ordered multiple pairs over the last couple years. Great product.

Great product

I had foot problems for years finally went to the doctor he recommended getting these. It really makes a huge difference my feet feel so much better. I walk on the treadmill at the gym every day for 1 hour with no problems. I was skeptical but the doctor was right.

Great footbed for the money

I've had expense custom made foot beds in the past, but these met pads are as good, if not better. They may not last as long, but I can buy quite a few pairs of these for the cost of the custom foot pads.

Excellent foot relief

These are the best footbeds for foot pain relief.

Great support

The deep heel locks your foot in. The arch holds you up. I feel very stable in these

Great support for the foot

The deep heel locks your foot in. The arch holds you up. I feel very stable in these

Great for Work Sneakers

I wear size 16 shoes and am over 300 lbs. These have been great at helping me with my foot pain and have gotten me more active. These "medium" footbeds are in my work shoes shoes, which are currently New Balance running shoes, and I'm very happy with them.

Great for Big Feet and Heavy Bodies

I wear size 16 shoes and am over 300 lbs. These have been great at helping me with my foot pain and have gotten me more active. These "thick" footbeds are in my basketball shoes and I'm very happy with them.

Quality Foot Support

I have been using SOLE for about a month. Good support, and I can tell when SOLE is not in the shoes. They fit very snugly. They're not real easy to remove, so instead, I bought another pair so I wouldn't have to switch them so often.

No Fear!

Having be plagued with chronic foot pain, due to a fallen arch, I was willing to try anything. While visiting Staunton, VA I stopped in Wilderness Adventures where SOLE products were sold. I put the footbeds in my Keen boot that day and felt instant relief. Now I have "No Fear" of going on hikes, playing Senior Softball, or just walking around in general thanks to my SOLE footbeds.

Foot saver

Plantar fasciitis & high arches. These footbeds have made activities available again.

Awesome footbeds I use in all my shoes

I have been using these footbeds in my running, walking, golf and everyday shoes for years. I recommend them to all my friends who are having plantar fasciitis challenges. I have not had and foot isssues in 8 years with these footbeds.

They work

I get numbness and in my foot and very little has worked to alleviate that. I’ve done so much with doctors and other methods but the only thing that has actually helped are SOLE footbeds with the met pad. I have custom insoles from my doctor but these feel SO much better. I have had SOLE in all my shoes for the last few years and I won’t choose anything else going forward. They just work and I don’t have to think about them.

Excellent support!

Finally footbeds that are high enough for my high arch foot, and conforms to my lower arch foot! Definitely recommend!

Great product, much less pain

I have chronic pain in my right foot as well as pain from having flat feet. I now use these in the shoes I wear most often and my feet only hurt once in a while now. So much better than any footbed I’ve ever purchased.

footbed review

I ordered these to help with fallen arches that led to lateral foot corn/ callus development and pain on my left foot with running. I was limiting my running because of this. I used the footbed finder tool and ordered these based on the recommendation. I trimmed them a little to fit into my shoes. It took a couple of months to break them in so that they were comfortable. Now they work well for supporting my foot and I'm back to long distance runs! These are great and have moved them into new shoes without any problem.

Best footbeds ever

My foot pain is gone after putting these in my work shoes. Now I am buying more for my other shoes for convenience.

Great For Hiking

Added these to my backpacking boots and they offer the best support and help maintain my foot in the proper position.

Custom

The $500 custom orthotics lasted a year before needing rebuilt for a extra $150. These foot beds do the same thing and last several years for a fraction of custom cost. All I buy now are SOLE.

Best foot bed ever

I have these in my shoes for weeks now amazing arch support and comfort.

GOOD FOOT BEDS

Great

Great foot bed

I really like my foot beds Had issues with my arches, lots of pain and these beds made the pain go away.

work great in my mt bike shoes

I've become a big convert to SOLE's cork footbeds. Five years ago I broke a small bone in my foot that never entirely healed right. Before then, I had different types of insoles, some with plastic shanks, and that irritated the injury site. Instead, these cork ones conform better to my foot and offer better impact dampening. With my mt bike shoes, there's not enough space for a thicker medium footbed, so I go with these thin ones, and it's especially great for longer rides.

Excellent support and cushion

These are in a roomy trail-running shoe and offer the same support but noticeably more cushioning then the Active Thins. They will fit in shoes that the Active Thick will not. Yes, I have all three. These things are great and have allowed me to resume running, trail-running, and biking while recovering from foot injuries.

My go to foot bed

I've been wearing them for 10km walks and my feet not longer get metarsalgia pain They get more comfortable through break in.

Have These in Evrything!

The SOLE footbeds worked better for me than custom orthotics! Foot pain is gone.

Best orthotic footbeds I’ve owned to date

I came across SOLE in a Google search because I was in desperate need of orthotic support for my feet and was on the cusp of starting a new job that was going to keep me on my feet. I didn’t know what to expect having never heard of the company neither having tried their products but I had nothing to lose. It was a Christmas/Boxing Day extended sale so the pricing was great. Came in no time and I honestly have no complaints. This has been the best foot supports I’ve owned yet. Custom orthotics are not cheap and to have an alternative that does the same job for not even half the price is outstanding. I will definitely purchase additional pairs. I’m flat footed with no instep so I can never not wear footbeds in my shoes. SOLE will have me as a customer for some time to come.

I'm thinking about cutting my feet off less

Prior to getting these footbeds from SOLE, I was thinking pretty regularly about chainsawing my feet off due to the discomfort of a collapsed arch on one side. I don't know what the plan was...it would probably feel worse to have no feet and be walking around on bloody stumps. Still, the brain kept thinking ok feet, you had your chance and this is what you did with your life, time to die. My doctor said to try these out and see how it went. I'm still not a feet person, but at least I'm not a chainsaw my feet person thanks to the comfort and support I'm getting from SOLE. They have legitimately allowed my corpse to heal, and the foot pain I had has faded, and now I'm just left with all my other problems.

Favourite footbeds

I have been using these in my work boots for years. Walking and standing on concrete all day. Very supportive. Nice heel cup and are actually wide enough for my foot to not spill over the side. I got a pair of the medium thick for my hiking boots as well.

Sole Foot Orthotics are life changing!

I visited my podiatrist hoping he would order custom orthotics for me. I've had lower back pain, while walking, for years. My Doctors examined my issues and, it was his opinion that I don't need expensive custom orthotics but could find relief from back pain with SOLE orthotics. I ordered them and do not leave home without them!!

Solved my numb toe issue

Always felt like socks were bunched up under my ties on the right foot but within a few days of wearing these the issue is pretty much gone

Best footbeds - feet feel great!

These footbeds are fantastic! Been wearing them now for several weeks and I love them. I run and have had plantar fasciitis in my right foot. I researched and found SOLE to be the best footbed for this type of foot injury. They weren't kidding! I move my SOLEs around to different shoes I run in and will not run without them. Just replace the factory insoles with these and you will never go back.

More durable than cork

Really like these. More durable than the cork, but they do feel harder under my foot. Very supportive and easily customizable.

Great foot beds

These foot beds are better than my custom orthotics I now have 4 pairs 2 different types so that I do not have to keep changing them in my shoes will buy again

They help tremendously with foot pain

I added these to a flat soled sneaker that offered no arch support and I can now wear them comfortably! They are even thin enough where the close fitting shoes does not feel too tight.

Excellent foot relief product

This product has changed my life walking without back pain. Thank you.

Second pair!

I've had some footbeds for 8 years and finally decided I probably needed a new pair. Great, as always. Support my foot without killing my arch. Would 10/10 buy again and recommend.

Same great support

I recently started using the active medium SOLE foot beds and they worked great but took up too much room in some of my shoes. I ordered the thin active foot beds and they fit the rest of my footwear very comfortably. These foot beds have me walking again!

Perfect Footbeds!!

Been using these footbeds in my gym/running shoes for a few weeks now and all I can say is WOW! These are game changers! Great feel, super comfortable and best of all, zero foot pain after those 5km runs!

Only Brand I Use!!!

I've always had issues with foot pain being very flat footed and SOLE footbeds were recommended to me by a family member. I went to my local Mark's store and grabbed a pair, close to 20 years ago, and have never looked back. This has been the only brand I've used since. I'm not particularly happy that Mark's no longer carries this brand as I do like to shop locally but the brand they carry now just doesn't compare to SOLE. Do yourself a favour and order a pair! I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!

Excellent support, great comfort

These SOLE footbeds have made a big difference in my foot comfort and support, especially in toe and arch support.

My son loves his footbeds

My son has a 4E foot and the wide footbeds ensures his foot does not get rubbed by a footbed that is not wide enough.

great foot beds

these are very helpful and comfortable .

excellent support

great footbed. very firm and supports my foot to relieve strain.

Your foot problems melt away!

I have planter faciatis 15 years ago. And one foot had some nerve zinging.(once in a while pain between 2 toes) Bought custom inverts and they didn’t get rid of my problems. Went to REI and the shoe sales person said try these. Felt great in the store….. so I bought them. I have them in every shoe. I don’t go anywhere with out them. I’m an avid Pickleballer. These will change you stride and quicken your step. Totally worth in price($500 custom vs. $60) Let your foot problems melt away. Buy the Active Thick today. I wear 7-71/2 size shoe. Size up to W8.

Excellent foot beds for my HIGH arches!!

I’ve been using foot beds all my life because of my high arches and have tried many brands. I’m a very active person (runner, skier, mountain biker, etc) and I use SOLE foot beds in all of my shoes. Without a doubt SOLE foot beds are the best fitting, most durable I have used. I’m a lifer with SOLE foot beds!!

Worked for my Peloton

This is the first footbed I’ve ever used, but decided to give them a try because one foot had numb feelings after long Peloton rides. It was feeling numb from the ball of the foot forward through the toes. Trying this thin footbed with met pad solved it! I’m hooked. Will now be trying in my hiking boots and other active shoes I use.

Can't wear shoes without it!

This is the only retail footbed with the met pad I need. The fact that it's thin means that it fits well in my existing shoes that are too tight for the regular foot beds. Gives me the support I need as well as for flexible foot movement.

Best for avid walker

I have walking 4-6 miles a day for many years. I started having foot pain. These footbeds have helped me so much. I highly recommend them.

Great for dress shoes

I was leary of the thin pads but I purchased a pair anyway, they fit great in my dress boots and I have no pain when walking. I would recommend these pads to anyone who has metatarsil foot pain.

Amazing fit and improved comfort

Bought the performance thin with met pad for my ski boots.I needed something that would not take up to much room and help support my arches while skiing. I had purchased a set of the performance thins with met for my cycling shoes, that I have been using for 6 months. So I bought a set for my ski boots. I have skiied in them for 5 days and have felt relief in foot pain from day two.

In All My Shoes

I’m retired and wear hiking shoes and boots exclusively every day. The SOLE inserts are comfortable, well made and fit perfectly. I take extra care to follow the instructions to heat them up and wear them for a while to better form to my foot.

Excellent

Feels good for my foot pain!

Great soles

Less foot problems on long hikes

Footbeds

I have been using footbeds for about 12 years now. They aways do the job of being comfortable and relieving foot pain

MET Pad

Fit well and help with my foot issue.

Amazing in my Blundstones

Helps with stability and comfort. Great foot insert, made of cork so doesnt stink up as cork is a natural anti-bacteria properties.

Love these footbeds

I have been bothered by foot and heel pain for years. All that has improved since I started using SOLE insoles. I LOOK FORWARD to putting my shoes in the morning!

Best company

This company has the best customer service! And of course an amazing product. I been running and hiking with the footbeds for years . But now that I am way in my 60’s they are also a way to manage foot pains . I highly recommend them !

Active wide thick footbeds

These footbeds are great they have a high arch and are very rigid so they really support the foot the way it needs to be supported.

Foot Relief

After learning I would have to pay $500 for a pair of custom orthotics, I started looking around and found these. They have given me relief from my Neuroma. I plan to keep them for the life of my shoes and get more with my next pair of shoes.

Best footbeds I've found!

SOLE footbeds have eliminated the shoe discomfort and foot pain I've lived with for years. I can now wear a pair of shoes all day and my feet feel great.

Worked like the doctor said it would

Footbeds fit in all my shoes and relieved foot pad pain.

Excellent orthotic foot support

I used these for the last few years to relieve plantar fasciitis pain. They provide excellent cushioning for my soles and high arches. They are the only ones who provide this level of support over a long period of time.

Met Pad footbed surprisingly comfortable

Purchased for my daughter who has very high arches and was injured (tendonitis in her arch), but didn't know if the Met Pad would be uncomfortable compared to the regular foot bed. She loves them. They provide extra support, help with pain relief, and are totally comfortable for everyday use.

Almost perfect

Probably the most comfortable and supportive footbed I have ever tried. I work on my feet all day and these have eliminated most of my foot problems. Only issue is the squeak that occurs sometimes, usually fixed with a little powder but I haven’t had the issue with the thick ones. I would still highly recommend this for anyone with plantar/ misc foot pain. I bought my wife a pair as she has suffered from plantar fasciitis for years and she has noticed a huge improvement.

Life Saver. A must have

I'm a Union electrician and im on my feet all day. Some jobs i rack up 5+ miles a day. I've been using SOLE footbeds in my work boots for 10+ years. Really made a difference with fatigue. I have high arches and the SOLE footbeds have been a game changer. I recommend them to all the tradesmen I've ever heard complain about foot pain. Most if them I run into down the road have also become repeat customers.

Durable Footbeds

Top quality foot beds. Durable, supportive and just the right amount of cushion in the heel

Recommended by my foot doctor over expensive prescription orthotics

Tried some other brands first, but the other brands 'size range' (ie. 11-13) puts the arch in an awkward spot. Love that sole is unique to each foot size and can be trimmed.

Found my new footbeds

I’ve been using Birkenstock inserts for my arches for years, until I was introduced to SOLE. Omg, to have the full sole support has been a game changer. They are not only supporting my arch and the ball of my foot but they support my full foot including my toes! It’s been so hard to find sandals with a built in arch for summer, I look forward to purchasing a pair from SOLE! Thank you again!

worth trying

I bought these for my wife ... she has started to get Planar fasciitis ... My advice was to try various footbeds and see what works. These are very well made and offer a great choice in styles and fit. The cork and plastic offer two distinct functions ... and they are helping with foot pain. The Met Pad is an interesting option as it has a bump under the arch rather than adding to padding in the fore foot. I've long had issues with my feet as I do lots of long and extreme off trail hiking. My wife walks every day on trails around town. This is the first time she has had problems with her feet my advice was to try shoes and arches until she got relief. Also to slow down until there was zero pain. Your feet should not hurt when you walk. Good shoes ... even better good boots ... and good footbeds can help. the problem is there is a bit too many design options out there. The SOLE's are a good place to start with footbeds.

Best foot beds I have ever used!

I have a bone spur on my metatarsal joint and lots of pain when walking. I am now using SOLE footbeds, after having tried several other good brands. The SOLE footbeds have the best support, my pain is almost completely gone - I can even go for long walks and do my exercise class without having to stop because of the pain.

The only footbeds that help

Having multiple foot problems (including: plantar fasciitis, arthritis and metatarsalgia), everyday foot comfort is elusive at best and there are no traditional shoes that I can wear without SOLE cork based footbeds inside. I had tried all of the other major brands on the market to no avail. SOLE brand footbeds have vastly improved my daily ability to walk without exacerbating the underlying problems to the point of being unable to walk.

Could Not Be Without SOLE Footbeds!

I have been using this style SOLE footbeds for several years. I have them in my cycling shoes, everyday sneakers and winter boots. I could not be without them. They have solved a long lasting foot problem and so grateful for the comfort they provide.

Quality

I’ve try a lot of brands and these are the best for me. They ill my ankle and foot. Thank you SOLE

Active Medium Met Pad

The SOLE met pads were recommended to me by a fellow golf enthusiast who understood the pain that I was feeling in my feet as I have plantar fasciitis. I am so glad that they were recommended to me as he had similar problems. I now have a met pad SOLE in every pair of shoes and boots that I wear. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has difficulty with foot pain as I have.

Saved my feet!

I have been wearing these footbeds for a few weeks a now and they are amazing. It is very hard to find anything that does not give me foot pain and I was so very happy to find these.

Love these

They were instantly comfortable and have gotten better as I've worn them. They've really helped with ongoing pain in my foot and lower back.

Best foot beds ever

I use to battle plantar fasciitis regularly. I’ve been using these foot beds for years and haven’t suffered an episode since.

used with my hiking boots

used with my hiking boots, they seem to help my foot comfort.

Nice and sustainable

I like the feel of these for my flat feet. However, they are still considerably more bulky than what a shoe's footbed would be out of the box. So, for my hiking boots these have just a little too much volume to rely on them to be comfortable (pressure on the top part of my foot in the boot). But love the sustainable cork of this model.

Super comfortable!

I have been a strong supporter of SOLE footbeds for over 10 years. I needed insoles after I broke my foot during a sporting activity. I required supportive and durable footbeds for my arch. I wear them for day-to-day activities, and sporting activities. The comfort, durability and quality of SOLE footbeds is unmatched. I highly recommend!

Relieved my foot pain

I had 2 years of pain in the outside of my forefoot and spent too much money on shoes which did not help. My insurance rejected a claim for custom orthotics and I tried some SOLE footbeds. They provided excellent pain relief for full days on my feet on hard surfaces. I would highly recommend trying them.

Great Product

I purchased this pair of footbeds to replace my previous worn out pair or SOLE footbeds. I was having ball of foot pain and these footbeds with the Met Pad solved the pain issue! Great products!

Great Product

I had pain on the ball of my foot after long periods of wearing my normal SOLE footbeds. I purchased this new pair with the Met Pad and my pain went away. Definitely worth the money.

Great product

The best footbed I have found that matches my foot. Highly recommend to try if looking for a quality product.

These are the ones you want!

I have been wearing SOLE footbeds for at least ten years and could not be happier. They provide excellent support and last a long time. No more signs of plantar fasciitis! They are comfortable from the start and mold to your foot in a short period of time. My husband (who has worn expensive, made-to-order orthotics for years) recently tried SOLE and is very happy with how they feel as well. If footbeds rather than orthotics are for you, you will be very pleased with SOLE.

My favorite footbeds!

These were recommended by my foot doctor. My feet had been starting to hurt in all of my shoes. I haven't had pain when using these and now wear them all of the time. Love them!

best footbeds

these are great footbeds for your shoes and much cheaper than orthotics by a professional. The footbeds are well-made and contoured to support your whole foot.

Never use anything else

I’ve been wearing these in all of my shoes and they’re great. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my foot health and comfort in my gym shoes when I workout especially.

Best Footbeds for a High Instep

These footbeds work great without crowding my foot. I have used these in multiple shoes and they last longer than any other footbed I have tried. Love these so much and will continue to purchase when necessary.

Great support and comfort

I’ve worn these for several weeks and my foot pain has disappeared. They add support and yet are still ‘soft’ and comfortable. Great value compared to custom orthotics and in many ways they are better.

Pretty good arch support

I like the arch support compared to alot of other insoles I've purchased. Orthotics on a budget. Would like a tad bit more arch support as my right foot is pretty flat and painful.

A foot bed that works.

Am a fairly avid cyclist. I average about 10,000 k per year. Have been dealing with hot foot (metatarsalgia) for several years. These foot beds have kept me riding. Doesn’t get any better than that.. 👍🤓

Foot beds

Very comfortable fit just right.

Must have foot beds!

I have SOLE foot beds in about 10 pairs of shoes and boots. They saved my feet. They're not like the $500 plastic inserts that don't work. (ask my wife). The SOLE thin with met pad footbeds are great for all of my athletic type shoes. I won't use anything else.

The best foot care ever!

Without the SOLEs my feet would be too sore to walk comfortably. They have literally been my saving grace! Thank you SOLE!

I own multiple SOLEs

Been using SOLEs in my street shoes, after getting fitted by a foot specialist. I was preparing for a ski trip, and decided to buy the thin SOLEs for my ski boots. Best thing I ever did! These SOLEs felt just as good as my custom fitted SOLEs.

Best foot support

I had so much pain in toes , and with the SOLE active met pad, the pain is gone.

Foot beds

I have used this product for quite a long time and usually walk about 10 kilometres a day with zero foot pain. I would highly recommend this product

Closest thing to a custom footbed

I was having issues with pronation, and my podiatrist recommended these footbeds. I was training for a marathon and having Achilles tendonitis. These footbeds immediately got rid of pain and were thin enough to go in my running shoes without making my foot numb. I have them in four shoes now and they working great!

Nice support

It took a couple of days to get used to. I used the oven method to quickly mold to my foot. Once molded… they were comfortable. They provide great support. I immediately bought another pair so that I had two which I could interchange between shoes.

Best Location

I have metatarsal pain in my left foot and my PT gave me a pad to put under the sock liner. I couldn’t seem to find just the right spot to place it but these footbeds take the guesswork out. Now I just slip on my shoes and run without having to readjust the pad.

Great foot beds

I’ve had major injuries to both of my feet from a fall. After 11 surgery’s I’ve been trying everything from custom made foot beds to over the counter ones. So far the SOLE foot beds are my favorite ones less pain and can make it through the day at work. My Surgeon suggested that I try these am glad I did. Will definitely buy more!!!

Relieved My Pain Immediately

I am a senior and enjoy my daily walks but I had started to develop some pain on the bottom of my foot. The doctor recommend SOLE footbeds, and I tried them and my pain immediately went away. The SOLE product was easy to slip into my shoes (I bought several pairs lately) and I am very happy with the results.

Post Surgery Support

Wearing since November and ten months post foot surgery. Very effective in moving forward.

Use in ski boots

I’ve used these in ski boots for years. Helps secure the foot well and is a great improvement over the stock foam provided in new boots.

Excellent fit for Jordan 1’s

I put these footbeds into Jordan 1’s (cut to shape) and they fit great! Added arch support where needed without changing the foot height. The “Performance Thin” model is the best balance of cushion and thin profile.

Best footbed for High Arches

I have tried multiple inserts over the years and these are the best. I have high arches and arthritis in the front of my feet so I need the arch support along with a stiff foot bed and SOLE is the answer to my constant foot pain. Love both the cork and the plastic models...

Magical

I inadvertently was without foot bed for 3 days. Old ones needed to be replaced and the new ones hadn't arrived... I didn't order. So I got to walk in my new shoes for 3 days without. Yep my left foot still pronates and needs support. New footbeds came, yeah. Feet happy again. ; )

Solid

Excellent footbeds that alleviate foot pain and help align my ankles/knees. They become more comfortable with prolonged use as they break in, and the amount of different footbed options means there is a pair for every occasion and shoe.

Outstanding product!

I’ve been using these foot beds for several years now, and will rarely athletic shoes without them. I originally chose them to relieve the pain from planters fasciitis, but soon found that they offered a degree of comfort, not found in any other foot bed I’ve tried, and I have tried many. On top of this they are durable. I’m still using one pair purchased several years ago in my daily work shoes. You cannot go wrong with them

Great footbeds

I have been wearing these footbeds for several weeks. They were comfortable from day 1, offering great support and stability for my arthritic feet. The metatarsal support allows me to be on my feet for hours with no numbness in the ball of my foot.

Metatarsal Pain

I managed to irritate the metatarsals in my left foot just at the end of a long run. I’m in the middle of marathon training and can’t afford to take weeks off from running. These footbeds have enabled me to keep running without pain.

Best support

They mold to your feet extremely well, very comfortable but for me the biggest thing is I am flat footed and they provide great support so my back doesn’t hurt.

Relief!!!

Relief from foot pain caused by flat feet with bunions! My new go to orthotics make walking possible again!!! I appreciate the variety of widths too!

Best on the market!

Nothing on the market compared. I’ve used them to fix and prevent foot problems. You won’t be sorry.

Great Medium footbed

This is my go to! This foodbed is a must for comfort, stability, and relief from foot pain!

Met pad great

These support the middle of my foot and relieve arch pain, esp when I'm exercising. Used to get this tearing feeling at the bottom of the arch of my foot that this helps to support.

comfort and support

I bought these while recovering from a foot injury. I really like the support and comfort they provide and will continue to buy them

Amazing

I was in a car accident where my foot was damaged. Pain is an everyday thing. These SOLE footbeds were recommended so I tried them. They are amazing! I have way less pain. My husband also tried them, in his work boots, and could not believe how wonderful they are.

10 days in my ski boots and I love them!

I purchase these to replace my current footbeds in my ski boots which had worn out. I ski over 60 days per year as a ski instructor and the SOLE foot beds are so far excellent they fit perfectly and hold my foot as it should be without decreasing the volume of the boot.

Excellent in my safety shows

Wearing these now for several weeks. Typically trying to find different insoles to help with side achi g feet at end of day walking in concrete. These we t straight in and have given my feet a new lease on life. No aching or foot pain at the end of the day iw. Highly recommend the thick metpad footbeds.

Amazing fit and improved comfort

I put the foot beds in my cycling shoes. I have been riding other insoles for years and within 4 rides I found that SOLE footbeds improved comfort of my favorite cycling shoes.

Great foot beds

I have purchased several pairs and am very satisfied. Will definitely be purchasing more when these need replacing.

Truly Amazing Footbeds

I’ve been wearing these for several weeks now and have noticed a tremendous difference. I am a consistent walker on the golf course and my feet used to be so sore after 18 holes until I started wearing these! The first round of golf I wore them, they were a little stiff because they had to mold to my feet. I did not opt for the oven molding method. Despite them being just a little stiff, I had zero foot pain after my first round of golf wearing these! I have a flat foot and the arch support these provide is awesome. My feet haven’t hurt since I started wearing these! They easily swap in and out between shoes, and the ability to cut the footbeds to match your OEM footbeds is super easy and convenient. Highly recommend for anyone that experiences any pain in their feet!

Amazing Product

I ordered my first pair of SOLE footbeds with the Met Pad to relieve some foot pain I was experiencing. Very quickly my symptoms were resolved and I promptly ordered another 3 pairs to go in my other shoes. Highly recommend these to anyone looking to level up their footwear!

Super comfy

These footbeds are super comfy. Came exactly as described. The heat molding is perfect and there was zero transition period getting used the them. They felt amazing right from the first use and I would say my general foot pain has decreased since wearing them

Love these footbeds

I have falling arches that come with a lot of foot and low back pain and these have been the only footbeds that have ever relieved that pain.

Amazing footbeds

I got these a few weeks ago and they've made such a difference in my sneakers! I no longer have foot pain or foot fatigue.

Much less pain!

I have suffered with frequent foot pain for years and only recently did I learn that it was because of my lack of foot arches. I got these as soon as I learned that there was a solution and now my feet hardly ever hurt!

Comfortable footbeds

These footbeds seem great so far. I have been having foot/ ankle pain and was looking for a footbed to help. The foot pain seems good when I use these, the ankle pain not so much but I'm thinking it is stemming from a different issue. Good quality, comfortable footbeds that look like they will hold up to daily wear. I will definitely get another pair one day for my boots :)

Thank you SOLE!!

These footbeds have saved my left foot from a difficult case of plantar fasciitis. Within 4 days of wearing the footbeds, I can now walk comfortably. I was so impressed, I purchased a second pair. What a relief these footbeds have been for me.

Orthotic relief

These footbeds have helped lessen the pain in my foot. Much appreciated.

Amazing!!!

I'm a nurse and work 12s. I also am a larger sized human who struggles with foot pain daily. A decade ago my foster mom gave me a set of SOLE footbeds for sports and I loved them. So about 6 months ago I found these old footbeds and tried them for my work shoes, desperately seeking relief from the agony. To my amazement these helped immensely with my foot pain!! However because those footbeds were 10 years old, they stunk to the high heavens and I was told I was not allowed to keep my shoes and footbeds if I wanted to be allowed in the house. Nevertheless I set off to purchase a new set of SOLEs!! These have been AMAZING since they arrived at my house, I have loved them so much I've been swapping them into every shoe (including moccasins) to provide me comfort. I have recommended these to coworkers because it is a constant struggle to work 12 hour shifts while hobbling in pain. Thank you for making it so I don't quit my job.

never buy any others

I've worn SOLE orthotics for years. I have tried others, even the $500+ custom from the foot doc inserts (waste of $$), and NOTHING fits as well or offers the arch support of SOLE footbeds

The met pad is my savior

Took it running ASAP. Foot pain was non existent during my run and after my run. The met pad did its job. Now if they could add in over supination pad to the footbed we would be golden and I’d order that to replace my entire line up of shoes

Awesome foot beds

I bought these for my wife’s work boots And the first day her feet felt more comfortable and were not sore at the end of the day.

Love these footbeds

I have been using these foot beds for over 2 years now. The active thin w/metpads fit into your slimmer shoes. I also use the active medium w/metpads in some of my looser shoes. A number of my friends now use them also. I wish they still had the sandals, I wore them alot.

Best footbeds ever

Perfectly sized and give the foot support where needed. Order two other pairs so happy with these, highly recommend

Great footbeds

Fit is great and the met pad really helps align my foot properly. I couldn't run without them.

Best footbeds with met pads!

My podiatrist recommended metatarsal support for a foot problem I have been having. It 's my first time purchasing these footbeds with met pads, and these have been a life changer! I will definitely stick with SOLE for future purchases of met pad footbeds!

Highly recommend SOLE footbeds

When I went to my orthopedist due to clicking then pain in my foot while walking he recommended SOLE with met pad. Since I've purchased these footbeds I wear them in my sneakers for walking and running, work boots and even my dress shoes. My feet just don't feel right if my shoe doesn't have a SOLE footbed in them. I started with 2 pairs and now have 1 in every sneaker, shoes and boots I own. Even purchased a few for my son. Highly recommend SOLE footbeds

Dr recommended, patient approved

My orthopedist recommended SOLE with the met pad when I started having clicking and pain in my foot while walking. Really glad he did. I've since started running again.

Feedback on Active Medium with Met Pad, Men's 12

Trimming the length of the insole affects where the met pad is positioned under your foot. In my case, it isn’t properly positioned.

SOLE footbeds=happy feet

Discovered SOLE off Google a couple years ago. I have tried others including custom orthotics. Sure the customs work well, who the heck can afford those though ! I was skeptical, two days wearing SOLE and that was a game changer. I have low arches and plantar fasciitis. Some days it was very painful to walk. After wearing SOLE for two days I had minimal foot pain. It didn’t take very long for the pain to go away all together. I have also recommended these to friends and they prefer SOLE over everything else. Try a pair, you will not regret !

Excellent Arch Support

If you have high arches, these are the footbeds for you. These maintain their shape and will outlast your footwear. The arch support evenly distributes your weight across the sole of your foot eliminating pressure points. Great for those suffering from Morton's Neuroma.

Great for hunting boots

Got these to go with my new hunting boots as I am a flat-footed hunter and these were recommended to me on a forum with other flat-footed hunters. I can safely say the bottom of my feet have never felt better with these on given drawn out treks on uneven ground.

Best Footbeds ever

No more foot discomfort since wearing SOLE footbeds, heaven!!

lifesaver footbeds

Had been complaining of foot pain while working long shifts. these footbeds have been a complete lifesaver. fit well and have had great pain relief

Great foot bed and a great value

Don't waste your time buying insoles at Walmart or Walgreens. None of the typical brands, like Dr. Scholl's can compare with SOLE. I love them!

Made the difference

The active thin pad was a great purchase for footbeds. It supports my foot well, better alignment and reduce my standing fatigue.

Outstanding footbeds!

I've been wearing a pair of these for just on a year. I use the wide version in a pair of Altra road running shoes. It's really hard to find footbeds for the wide toe box shoes; I only needed to trim a little off the toe of the footbed to conform to the same size as the original in the shoe. The instructions were super simple & logical to get them perfectly sized. They take a little of the cushion/spring out of your shoe, but I can get through long runs with little to no foot pain. I have also noticed significant improvements in my knees and hips. Along with this replacement pair, I have bought a pair of the cork footbeds These footbeds are worth trying and cost a lot less than customized soles from a podiatrist.

So long, metatarsalgia!

During training for my first marathon, I began to experience metatarsalgia for the first time in my life (early 40s) on runs longer than 14 miles. I have not once experienced this pain since I purchased the footbed with met pad. I finished my marathon with not one ounce of foot, knee, or hip pain and I know these footbeds take a lot of the credit for that.

Best footbeds EVER

My son was diagnosed with Severs when he was 12 years old. At that point, his doctor recommended SOLE footbeds to help with his discomfort as his foot grew out of the issue. These footbeds are FANTASTIC! So much so, he has been using them in all shoes, sneakers, and boots since, and that's going on 6 years now. He is now wearing a size 13 sneaker and we just ordered them for his new sneakers. It should be no surprise, that I too now have them in many of my shoes, especially my athletic sneakers. I walk a lot and they provide INCREDIBLE support for long distance walking (and all walking, to be fair). I LOVE THEM for myself and my son. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

miracle !

my podiatrist recommended SOLE footbeds. my feet hurt so badly that I could hardly walk. I've worn these for 3 years now and have NO foot pain at all. would not hesitate to recommend SOLE !

Feedback on Active Medium, Men's 11

Every 2 wks I have to re heat the footbed and reshape it to my foot or its excruciating . When it does work it's great

Like magic

These are great in work shoes with some room. I have the thin, medium, and a pair of these Active Thick, and these are the most comfortable. You def. need a shoe with some room, though. Since I put a SOLE footbed in all my shoes, my foot pain from plantar problems is gone.

Met pad!

These insoles are very helpful and comfortable. I have been wearing them for at least a month and it is helping the ball of my foot heal.

Great product

I came across the promotion for this product on Instagram after they offered it free to areas they hadn't yet delivered to (paid only for shipping). I was a little hesitant at first but decided to try them out after verifying the deal was legitimate. I had just been put in a moon boot after injuring my foot, so needed a product to help provide adequate support to the other foot during the healing process. Delivery was fast & I was extremely impressed by the immediate comfort I felt upon first wear. I opted to let them mold naturally & 2 months on I can say that these have certainly delivered on quality, comfort & overall support. I'm fortunately now out of the boot & have continued wearing them in both shoes. This product has exceeded my expectations & I have already recommended this product to family/friends.

Great footbeds

The seem to be all purpose footbeds, I believe they will fit pretty much any shoe/boot and help with foot pain etc. If you are waffling between these and the medium for a shoe, I don't think you can go wrong with them.

Very Helpful

In late August I experienced my first ever bout of Planter Faciitis in my right foot. After about two weeks of significant pain and some inquiries, I ordered SOLE footbeds. They have been a big part of my recovery, and I ordered two more sets of footbeds.

Love these

I need to use footbeds in my running shoes, and these are always a great product. Some of my children started experiencing foot pain when they started up cross country this year (my daughter started getting plantar facia pain from her Hey Dudes) and these solved their problem. It took a little bit to break their feet in- they had to pull them out after a few hours to give their feet a break, but after a week or two they were fine. We did not heat mold them but should have to speed up the process.

Great, Comfortble Foot Beds

I have been using SOLE Active Medium with Met Pad for approximately 2 years now. I used to stand on my feet with a job and my feet were a mess. After wearing them for a short while, bones went back into place and my knees felt great. I also wear the sandals in the Summer. Great product and I will continue to wear them...

So Comfortable!

I've been buying and using SOLE (Ed Viesters) foot beds (insoles) for years and these new ones with built in metatarsal pads are exceptional. I highly recommend them. Fair prices and fast shipping make the buying experience very satisfactory.

Excellent Foot Support

Over the last couple of years have purchased several pairs of these footbeds. Great quality and durability for all types of shoes including dress shoes.

Perfect

Got me through a 50K mountain race with zero foot problems.

Excellent foot beds

I was having a lot of problems with foot pain for some time and my physio suggested these and have been game changer

Greatest footbeds

I've been using my foot beds for a few weeks now in my work shoes. Well my feet feel way better , I'm on my feet all day and it helps with my lower back as well. I would greatly recommend

No more pain

As a long time long distance runner, I'd started experiencing foot and leg pain. The DR and physio said it was over use, this was common among runners. Orthodics were prescribed but they are $500. I had to find a solution so i could run pain free, SOLE was the miracle I needed to get back to running, my zen! Thanks 😀

Best foot beds ever

I am flat footed and these foot beds give me so much pain relief and helps where the Dr's couldn't. The customer care was wonderful when I made a mistake and ordered the wrong size. They fixed my mistake and sent me the correct size, So we ordered a pair for our neighbor and he loves them also.

These are my favorite footbeds

These fit great in foot shaped shoes like Topos and Altras. What’s the point of buying a wide shoe that lets your toes splay only to have them hanging off the edges of a narrow footbed?

Perfect for my walking addiction

About 5 years ago I developed some hip and lower leg pain. I accidentally discovered SOLE in a sports store and have never looked back. This was my first pair of Active Thick and they are every bit as good as the Performance Thick I normally use. The cork molds to your foot quickly and provides the support I needed to avoid meds and/or physio - my walking is all the meds I need.

One happy customer!

Love my SOLE foot beds! Well made product. I am a happy customer!

Better Than Orthotics That Were 5 Times The Price

Very comfortable and these were far more effective in eliminating my foot pain than my previous orthotics which cost five times more than these footbeds.

Happy customer

I ordered a pair hoping to help with foot pain, and they delivered! I'm very happy with these footbeds and I will be buying more pairs for other footwear.

These are great

I've been wearing SOLE footbeds for my shoes for over a year now due to discomfort at the ball of the foot. The med and thick active pads with Met are doing the job for me. Much better than standard shoe cushions or anything else I've tried.

My feet are happier with these footbeds!

I have been using the regular SOLE footbeds for several years and have been very satisfied with them. When I recently bought new walking shoes and a pair of slippers, I decided to try the footbeds with met pads. i have metatarsalgia in the sole of one foot and with these footbeds, my feet are much happier. The extra cushioning makes a real difference.

Fantastic foot beds

I use these for long hikes (12-14 miles). Previously, my feet would begin to hurt around mile 5. These have been a game changer in allowing me to hike much longer.

Great!

Helps relieve foot pain caused by standing for long time.

Best Hiking Foot Bed

These are amazing. I'll put them in every pair going forward.

Excellent foot health

Using in my hiking boots to provide support & comfort, much beyond the standard insoles that come with the boots.

Flat footed - Get SOLE

I have various levels of cushioning and footbed materials in all my footwear. Discovered SOLE when I started experiencing terrible plantar fasciitis out of the blue 10 years ago - bought my first pair to see and haven't looked back. Life changing.

Great Product - Wide versions need Met option.

Love the "wide" versions in my natural-foot shoes (Altra and Topo). Would love to see a SOLE Wide version offered with metatarsal support though.

These SOLE footbeds are the most advanced foot performance made

I started 2 years ago, with 1 red pair. As soon as I worn them for a week. I went back and bought my 2nd pair in black. Three weeks ago, after I browsed the SOLE website. I decided to outfit every pair of my shoes and boots with SOLE footbeds. I have six expensive Merrell shoes, and every pair now has SOLE in them. I enjoy life with the little thing like SOLE which make a huge difference in walking & hiking comfort for me and my health. This brand really makes me smile, in that I'm wearing something that is just awesome !

Pain free running!

I highly recommend SOLE as a long time and long distance runner! Started to experience severe pain in my feet and shin, to the point that it was keeping me from running. But thanks to SOLE footbeds I am no longer experiencing foot or leg pain and back to my zen state of running :)

In All My Footwear

These active footbeds with met pad are in every boot/shoe/sneaker that I own! If you have high arches, these are the footbeds for you. Excellent support that distributes your body weight equally throughout the sole of your foot.

Life savers

Before these, I had custom made foot levelers from my chiropractor that cost a few hundred dollars. When those began to break apart and become uncomfortable, I no longer had benefits covering such things. Luckily I found these and they do an even better job than my original pair. Getting them fit to my feet was easy, they sit sung in my shoes without moving around, and they make it so much easier to be on my feet for extended periods. I cannot recommend these enough for anyone with foot issues.

Kids physical therapy

My little needs help with after his pt and his need to correct out toe walking. These have helped his foot stay in proper arch to strengthen and correct form.

Positive Foot Torque!

My experience with this brand of footbed’s has been outstanding. For several years in hiking boots, leisure shoes and workout footwear. No injuries, No soreness, No pain! As an enhancement to general everyday living and providing “Torque” to my workouts I would advise anyone to avoid store bought products. “Find your size, style and run with it”. You will love these footbeds. Retired Park Ranger; RL

Shocked!!!

My orthopedic surgeon actually recommended this product! He receives no payment for doing so, but simply stated how beneficial it has been for him. I currently have metal and screws in my left leg which was causing some swelling discomfort. The pain in my right foot became unbearable due to the way that I was compensating my gait. I wanted to do everything that I could to avoid another surgery so, I reluctantly ordered the product with a very little hopes. I followed the instructions on the box to a "T". I remember thinking, "how in the hell is this going to help me?" Well, little did I know it changed everything for me! I have cancelled my last two orthopedic appointments because my pain is gone! I interchange them between shoes from work to the gym! In the last 7 years I have dealt with two surgeries, pain and consistent swelling on a daily basis to now virtually pain free and very minimal swelling if any at all. I will be honest the first week it felt very weird in my shoe but give it a fair try! I personally found that removing the original insole in your shoe, makes the transition must easier. Be sure you have plenty of space to compensate for width and depth. ( Asics running shoe did not do well w/insert) I'm not disappointed and I will order more in the future!!!! From a very impressed customer and absolutely shocked that it worked like charm, give it a fair try!!! It changed everything for me!!!! Thank you!!!

Nice for High Arches

I have several pairs of these and they fit my high arches better than any other foot beds I have tried.

These are great

These helped reduce my foot pain from having flat feet and multiple injuries

Better comfort for a small price

Thank you for the Foot Beds! I stand on my feet for up to 12 hours a day with only a couple of breaks and a 30 minute lunch in between, and with the foot support of your footbeds I would never make it. Thanks so much!

Healed

I’ll never put my foot in another workboot again unless I have a pair of cork SOLE's in them.

Helped my old foot injuries

Had broken metatarsals and these footbeds with the met pad have really helped. Highly recommend.

Great footbed

For trail runners on rocky/rooty terrain, these footbeds support my foot and allow the necessary protection on long runs

The Performance Thick really deliver

Have used their other ones which are good. However the Performance Thick is my new go to. I work on my feet for 8 or more hours per day (10 to 12 hr shifts). I was using a green pair but they were worn... switching to the Performance Thick took the foot pain and ache away!

Wonderful foot beds

I have been wearing this one pair in various shoes. I love the way my high arches feel supported. I would recommend these to anyone needing extra support.

Foot beds

New to using them and found I used them too long the first day. I needed to gradually extend the time of usage.

Foot Beds

Using these the foot beds for years after reconstructive foot surgery.

Amazing footbeds

Great footbeds, wishing I would have went with the thin ones as I have to remove original insoles from shoes before putting sole met pad insole in. Makes for a more difficult transition, but overall a great product. Stopped metatarsalgia foot pain withing a day. Thanks

Excellent Footbed, Highly Recommend

I walk 10,000+ steps per day and as a 200 lb pound man, these last me about a year or more. I prefer to walk to break them in, instead of doing the heated option. I got my first pair over 4 years ago, and these performance mediums are my go to footbeds after owning several pairs. The only point I'd caution about, is that since they are cork they aren't designed to be hyper flexible. Normal use, stretching, and bending of the foot seems to be just fine. If you flex them too much with your hands, they will crack because of the cork footbed. I also own several other active medium footbeds and those are more durable but aren't as comfortable for me personally.

Best footbeds ever!

I've been wearing them for a couple of months now. I love the way they form to my foot! 😁

Great footbeds

I’ve been wearing these in my golf shoes. I walk the course 5 times a week and my feet feel great and there is no foot pain despite my foot issues.

Very comfortable foot beds. Highly recommend.

I had been experiencing pain in my left foot, and these MET foot beds have helped a lot to alleviate the pain.

Comfort

Perfect and half price of other foot beds. Run a bit large but can trim to fit or go down half size.

The foot support my aging body needs

When I noticed a whole bunch of problems starting with my aging feet, falling arches, crocked toes, I realized it was time to get serious about support in my shoes. These are the best! I love the ones with the metpad to encourage natural toes splay.

Happy feet!

Love all my SOLE foot beds! Have them in all styles for all my active shoes!

Honestly great product

I walk all day and shoot weddings and before I wore these in my shoes my feet were sore at the end of the day. Now my feet are still right as rain by the end. Really great foot support

Great for Topo boots!

I ordered these to use in my wide toe hiking boots after some foot problems earlier in the summer. They made hiking South of the equator comfortable, and I had no problems with them …. I also have a pair for my sneakers in the active line.

Perfect for my PF

I had terrible plantar fasciitis and this footbed for my shoes was a game changer. Light pain is there but that’s the stretching that I have to do on my own but as far as foot pain when I am on my feet all day had gone from an 8 to a 1. Will be ordering more soon so I don’t have to change them from shoe to shoe all the time.

No more pain!

I got these for my 13 yo daughter. She plays a lot of volleyball, in turn a lot of jumping and agility moves, plus she’s growing quickly. She was having pretty consistent knee and foot pain. At home we noticed her arches collapsing and she was overpronating so badly, it even looked painful. She takes these in and out easily when she switches shoes. Since using them, she no longer complains of pain! We are so grateful that a small change could make such a big difference!

Active SOLE footbeds

I suffer from plantar fasciitis on my right foot and these footbeds were an instant relief. Best I have ever had. Buy them you won’t regret it.

Solving foot pain

I bought one pair to start and now have 6 pair In most of my footwear. Thx to my athletic therapist who diagnosed fallen metatarsal arches and thx to SOLE for solving the problem!

Great foot Beds

SOLE is a very solid company without standing foot beds. I have been using them for years to alleviate foot pain and knee pain. I am a physician and frequently see patients with plantar fasciitis. They are also a very good therapeutic option for this condition.

Good but with a squeak

Been wearing these footbeds for several weeks. And I have been wearing other SOLE footbeds for many years. SOLE footbeds have proved to be the readily available solution to my foot problems centered around fallen arches. These new supports offer the same comfortable solution. However, currently, there is a squeak when I walk on concrete or asphalt. Perhaps it is the cork element. No SOLE footbeds have squeaked in the past. Currently the left boot is squeaking. Before, the right boot was squeaking. Perhaps the support will self-correct.

Should have gotten these years ago!

I was experiencing from some foot pain and recommended I try some orthotic insoles. I immediately thought of SOLE as I love their sandals. I ordered a pair of footbeds and WOW! They have made a huge difference. I plan on ordering more for all of my shoes.

Best foot beds ever

I walk and ruck on these foot beds over 1,000 miles per year. Along with quality socks they keep my feet healthy and blister free. They are the first things I buy when I get a new pair of boots.

No Foot Pain

I have a pair in all my running shoes. Ran several marathons where my whole body was in pain except for my feet.

Disappointed!!

I originally bought the insoles with the hard sole and though the cork would be better for me. I followed the instructions of heating for 2 mins at 200 and when I went to insert them in the shoes the cork began to fall off!! Was able to save them to the point they are still usable but would not recommend heating them at 200. still rather disappointed at the fact they feel apart that bad. Maybe the instructions should be changed that they should not be heated so long!! But I am impressed at the insoles have definetly help with my foot pain!! would recommend but with the cork I would probably not heat them up too long and just take the time and break them in slowly??Just my opinion!!

Really do work

I am surprised once again at how well these footbeds work in relieving foot stress. Not to sound like a crazy 'cures everything' person, but for me they have been a successful alternative to my prescription mega money orthotics. Hip and joint pain from being on my feet all day are reduced at the same level as those chonky expensive orthotics. SOLE are priced so that I can have more than one pair and custom fit them to each shoe! Great great product and I love the ethical production and Enviro packaging. Way to go!

Active medium with met pad

So far, great. No foot pain or cramps during or after pickleball! Just what I was hoping for. Already bought a second pair and will need a few more for all my shoes

Comfortable

I've been wearing there for a few weeks now. They are comfortable and were very easy to mold to my foot.

Retired flat foot

I have worn many masks nailed over the years but these just seem to fit a little better which makes them most comfortable. Very easy break in and fit all my shoes and boots

Great for Capsulitis!

I chose to try the footbeds with the met pad to help relieve foot pain from Capsulitis. They work! I no longer have to worry about being hurt with every step I take.

Solved my foot pain!

I work on my feet all day and started to get foot pain recently despite any types of shoes that I would try. Finally I stumbled upon these so I thought I'd give it a shot! My feet feel so much more supported and comfortable now and my foot pain is completely gone. They were a bit thick for my running shoes, so I ordered the active thick as well and plan to put these ones in my winter boots. Highly recommend!

Stubborn husband finally happy

I've been using these for a few years and love them. Finally convinced my husband to try them to relieve his Plantar fasciitis and for the first time in years he is almost completely free of foot pain.

Super Altra Support

Having this option for actual "foot shaped" footwear is 10/10. After trying Altra's I will never wear shoes that stuff my feet into a narrow space again, this has caused me years of issues that I did not even realize I had until I tired this style of footwear. Having a footbed that fits perfectly and is foot shaped is AMAZING. Thank you SOLE!!!! Can you make these with a Met Pad?

Total Game Changer

First off, I want to thank SOLE for coming up with an amazing foot sole. I am 59 years old, I have had problems with my feet for about the last 15 years, to the point they have caused me to not be able to go for a walk, ride a bike etc. I’m in pain all the time, constantly having to buy new shoes to try and get comfort. I have seen podiatrist twice, I have paid hundreds of dollars for insoles that are obtrusive to the point of not fitting in any of my shoes. The metatarsal soles were like walking on rocks. I have flat feet and I have a neuroma on the ball of both of my feet. I was told the only thing that could be done was cortisone shots, as surgery is not an option because the neuroma is on the main nerve in my feet. My feet are also causing knee and hip pain. I saw these on FB and decided to take a chance. WOW!!! Followed the instructions, total game changer, the material used is awesome, I did remove the soles in my shoes as my heel was slipping out with both soles in my shoes. Did not have to trim them down. I have had these in for about 2 hours now and for the first time in years my feet feel like the used to in a shoe. Usually my toes are scrunched in the toe part of my shoes, the arch support has lifted my feet to the point that I can finally wiggle my toes in shoes. The metarsal portion is like it is not there but it is lifting my foot so that I am not walking on the neuroma. I’m am so happy with these soles I am going to purchase two more immediately. When I placed my order on FB, I received 50% off because they had already sent a free pair to my postal code. Plus shipping. I received my order in about 36 hours. This company and these soles have literally changed my life. For those of you who are skeptical about these soles you really need to give them a try. They are a fraction of the cost that orthotics cost even at regular price. Thank you SOLE.

Such relief

My husband works in the trades and is on his feet all day long often doing very physical work. He has often struggled with foot pain. He has used other inserts but said SOLE’s are better. They provide him with the relief he needs.

👍🤓👍

Have used for several years. Have some foot nerve issues from cycling a little much. These insoles make a significant difference. Good value, excellent service . Definitely recommend 🤓🖖

flat feet wide foot

I received my Sole product about 2 months ago and have used them extensively during my morning walks. As a flat footer and with a wide forefoot, these insoles fit me very well. They fit in my daily walking shoes, as well as my Jordans. I've noticed a decrease in my lower back pain. I hope to try their wide foot insoles soon.

Great footbeds

Since I have used them I have less foot soreness after a long walk. I will be purchasing more.

Foot heaven

I now have SOLE footbeds in every pair of my sport shoes (which I live in 24/7). They are the best! I even bought some for my husband (he loves them) and now my daughter and grandson.

Excellent foot beds

Bought these for my son. Wears them daily and loves them.

They are great!!

Bought these for my son and he loves them. No more foot pain when he runs.

Remarkable amount of support

I have been wearing these for a while now and I am so impressed by the amount of support they provide. I don't have any diagnosed foot issues, but I do have quite high arches and notice negative effects on my body when I don't wear proper support in my shoes. These footbeds are definitely the best "over the counter" option I've ever tried. Definitely give them a shot if you are in need of support!

Great support

These footbeds are excellent for my running shoes. I have a morton's neuroma on my left foot and the met pad footbed makes my running shoes so much more comfortable.

Repeat purchaser

I’ve been wearing these footbeds for about 5 years. I have various foot issues and these footbeds work to provide uniform support over my entire foot.

Third set

I originally had two sets of these years ago, but my local seller stopped carrying them and I couldn't find them until recently when SOLE popped up on my social media. I decided to try them again, and I realized why I had multiple sets before. They are very comfortable and hug your foot, perfect arch support and make every pair of shoes comfortable. Will buy again!

Transverse and longitudinal arch support

These footbeds help my bunions and support the ball of my foot.

Helped with shin splints

Really comfortable, and I was able to get additional support added by a foot specialist for my extremely high arches. They've almost completely erased the pain I had from shin splints.

This is a superior product - don't hesitate to buy them!

I really like the Active Thin footbeds; they work well in all my shoes. These were recommended by my podiatrist for foot pain that I no longer have as I have multiple sets of these for all my shoes and never go without them. -- I feel I'm properly aligned now and well supported in all my shoes. -- I put them in the washing machine and set out for quick dry. These will last you for a very long time.

Fantastic comfort

Love these footbeds I’ve been using them for years they contribute to my foot health!

The BEST foot beds ever!!!!

I have been using these for over a year, I have put them in all my athletic shoes. I have Plantar Fasciitis and these have stopped the pain immediately. Great support, super lightweight, sturdy and slim enough to fit into most closed toe shoes (with a removable sole or ones that are loose).

Best footbeds I have tried in years!

I slid these bad boys into my golf shoes and have found that after walking 18 holes, I have less foot ache than before. You can feel the arch support helps with these big walks, I have yet to slide these into my hiking shoes and see how they impact my boots. I'm keen to try the SOLE footbeds with the met pads to see if it helps in any way

Best footbeds

I love these foot beds. Great support and breathable. I have just got back from a safari in Africa and I had no foot issues at all. Would definitely recommend.

Klara Schwab

Cozy foot beds

I love the SOLE products. This product is great for winter.

Awesome footbeds

I got these foot beds for my Lowa hiking boots. A slight bit of trimming, heating, and a super custom fit. These are the best footbeds I’ve ever owned!

Enjoying The Footbeds

Been enjoying those foot beds for the past few weeks, especially when they fit perfectly inside my smaller shoes.

Most comfortable foot beds

I had a neighbour convince me to try a pair of SOLE after we talked about my planter fasciatis. I've tried many other insoles and the FIRST minute I put them in and started walking, these are definitely the most comfortable and durable I've ever had. 5 stars

Unbelievable Comfort!

I have been wearing SOLE footbeds for a few years after visiting my podiatrist, Dr. Gregory Costanzo, in Asheville, NC. He suggested orthotics but said I should try these, SOLE's, first. Come to find out all I needed was a good supportive footbed. I’m a big guy constantly battling my weight and I walk for exercise a lot. Before retirement, I would easily walk 15-20 miles a day, 14-16 at work. Concrete is not foot friendly. But SOLE footbeds definitely make it tolerable. I am walking proof of the miracle of SOLE! These active thick footbeds are perfect for us overweight folks. It’s like walking on a cushion that supports and soothes your feet all day long. I’d like to say that their flips are unbelievable too! I used to wear Reefs when they were made in the USA and I couldn’t wear them out, but now they are made overseas and not as comfortable. So I bought a pair of SOLE’s to try and honestly it’s all I want to wear everyday everywhere. I don’t even feel rocks from gravel in these and I should because I’m overweight, 300+. Trust me, your soles will love SOLE’s footbeds and footwear! They have no competition. Light years ahead of anything you have ever worn.

A must have for any shoe

I've been using these in my work boots for years now. They are a game changer on steel flooring. Foot fatigue is gone, pain after hours of walking nonexistent. These are incredible. I have purchased SOLE foot beds for everyone in my family.

Best footbeds Ever

I have been using the footbeds since May and my foot pain is gone. I love them!

Awesome arch support

I have very high arches and these do a great job of filling that void. This takes pressure off the ball of my foot and redistributes my weight equally across the entire sole of my foot. Highly recommend for those folks who need to reduce ball of foot pressure (morton's neuroma sufferers). These thick footbeds are great for boots or other types of higher volume footwear.

Excellent arch support

I have very high arches and these do a great job of filling that void. This takes pressure off the ball of my foot and redistributes my weight equally across the entire sole of my foot. Highly recommend for those folks who need to reduce ball of foot pressure (morton's neuroma sufferers). These thin footbeds work best with a low volume shoe/sneaker where a low profile footbed is preferred.

Great arch support

I have very high arches and these do a great job of filling that void. This takes pressure off the ball of my foot and redistributes my weight equally across the entire sole of my foot. Highly recommend for those folks who need to reduce ball of foot pressure (morton's neuroma sufferers). These medium footbeds are versatile, fitting in most types of footwear.

My Go-To Footbeds

I started using SOLE footbeds 4 years ago after dealing with plantar fasciitis for a long time. They offer great support and have lasted longer for me than other brands. I like the Mediums for hiking boots and running shoes and the the thins for shoes that have less room for a footbed. I also like that they have more sizes than superfeet so I don’t have to trim for my size 12 foot.

Happy Feet!

I need good arch support, and these provide it - firm, yet comfy. They are quite thin and fit nicely in sport sandals without crowding the toes. I have been wearing them for the past several weeks, and find he Met Pads help avoid any ball of foot pressure/discomfort. These are a great option for tighter shoes/sandals.

Great product

My son uses these daily now for his chronic foot pain due to flat foot and over pronation.

Great foot bed

Have light flat foot and those work well for relieving pain prefer this model over performance one ( too stiff)

It Works!

The foot beds are awesome, they have allowed me to continue with my active out door life.

Excellent support

This is my third pair of these footbeds. I bought it as a spare, so I'll hopefully never be without. I have one in my running shoes and another in my cycling shoes. Multiple foot injuries/problems kept me out of running for years, but these provide excellent support, and I've been able to run moderate amounts without pain. They are comfortable when you first put them in, but they do get more comfortable as time goes on. Seems to take me at least a couple weeks for me to fully break them in.

Versatile and Comfortable

The active thin foot bed with mat pad are the foot beds that I have in all my shoes. Because of their low volume I can wear them in dress shoes or runners. The zero drop and arch support provide everything I need to participate in any activity. These foot beds, completely removed my plantar fasciitis, helped with alignment, and even helped alleviate pain in my ankles, knees, and lower back. I can’t recommend these enough!

Best foot support

This is the the fourth set that I have bought. The footbeds mold perfectly and keep their shape throughout the life of the footbeds. No complaints here.

Best brand ever

I am a physical therapist and I use SOLE active foot bed and refer my patients, family and friends to buy as well to help with their postural correction and foot support

Orthopedic doctor was right!

These footbeds have helped eliminate my foot pain from metatarsalgia. They are comfortable without adding bulk to my shoes.

Reduces Pain

My husband broke his foot as a teenager, and now that he is older he gets aching pain from the break when he’s on his feet all day. I bought him these footbeds, and now he has mostly stopped complaining of foot pain when he gets home.

Great Price, Great Fit, Foot Pain Gone

Having gone through two other brands before settling on Sole, I was running into a problem where the correct size shoe for me had a toe box that was just too big even with the aftermarket inserts I was using. My orthopedist had a foot specialist who recommended this company, and happens to supply them in his office, and not only were they a great fit, but the thick version helped to shore up the toe box. With proper fitting shoes and proper fitting inserts from Sole, My foot pain has almost entirely ceased and what remains is getting better by the day.

Best footbed Ever!

After suffering through a severe bimalleolar ankle break, surgery, and a long recovery, I not only struggled to find work boots and tennis shoes that provided the support I needed spending over a thousand bucks, finding the right insoles for support where I needed it was a nightmare. I tried probably every women’s insole available on the market and was losing hope of something out there to help me. After a couple of months of suffering, I stumbled upon SOLE expecting another disappointment. I could not have been more wrong! It may seem stupid to many, particularly those who have never experienced a severe leg/mobility injury, but I was sad, broken…worried. These footbeds changed my life after being the first thing to go right for me in what turned out to be several months of a limited existence. It’s like they were made to specifically fit my broken body and they provided not only foot and ankle relief, but relief to my legs, hips, and back. SOLE footbeds were the one thing that boosted my morale and brought my hope back! I will never use an insole from another company the rest of my life!

Great footbeds!

I immediately had relief from my foot pain when I used these footbeds.

Taylor

Had severe foot pain until I tried SOLE! Now it’s gone best money I ever spent!

Helped my feet recover

I've been struggling with foot pain and trying to continue playing tennis. Using this insole reduced the pain significantly. If this continues, I'm hoping that the pain disappears entirely.

Amazing support in my cycling shoes

I swapped out my stock footbeds in my gravel shoes after having arch pain and a burning sensation on top of the foot during my extended rides. The relief was immediate from the swap and I noticed a gain of 10w on the power meter. Definitely recommend these as an upgrade

Best footbeds!

These are amazing! They give so much added support! My daughter doesn’t complain of her foot hurting anymore!

Find the arch that fits

Foot length is one thing and arch length is another. I have a size 14 foot and a size 15 arch. With this footbed, I can simply trim the extra length to have a perfect fit.

Comfortable, provides support where its needed!

I have been using SOLE footbeds for a while now, but this is the first time trying the Met Pad. Feels a bit weird when you first put your foot in, but runs like a dream on the trails. Recently ran the Seek the Peak race and kept my feet supported and happy for 15km and 1400m of vert!

Best Footbed there is

I've got a pair of the thick or the medium thickness footbeds in every pair of shoes I own. Once adjusted and molded to your foot, there is no better comfort fitting footbed on the market.

Great footbeds

I use these every day and they really help with foot pain from an injury. Much better than what's available at regular stores.

Real foot comfort

My SOLE inserts were recommended by a friend of mine who I was golfing with one day. I followed his advice and purchased a couple pair and I have since purchased them for every pair of shoes that I have and they are a vast improvement in the comfort of my plantar fasciitis affected feet. I would highly recommended these soul inserts to anyone who suffers from sore feet.

Amazing footbeds

After wearing these for only days on the recommendation from the orthopedic surgeon the ganglion cyst decreased to near nothing and the bone spur on the top of my foot has had a huge reduction in pain.

Very comfortable. Provides support and shock absorption at the same time.

After a couple months of my first purchase I made a second purchase . I’m SOLD! I have expanded the use from my active footwear to include my general use leather foot wear.

Met support is great

Had a couple pairs with met support. The bump feels a little weird at first, but you quickly don't realize it's there. Really reduces foot fatigue.

I love them so much..

I have given away several pairs when friend s complain of foot issues and they become instant fans!!

Spectacular foot beds

Had plantar fascitis and needed great foitbeds, found them with these. I use them in all my exercise shoes.

Love these foot beds!

I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis for about a year, when I visited a shoe store to check on new styles. I happened to mention to the store clerk that I was having an issue and she told be about SOLE and how they are helped her. I did not hesitate to buy them after trying them. Love them so much, I bought the second pair from your website!

Excellent product

Took foot pain away and helped my back

Outstanding product

I wore SOLE footbeds for nearly 20 years, with nary a problem. When I wanted to replace them, I happily ordered another pair. The instructions for personal fitting were clear, easy to follow and resulted in perfect foot alignment. I recommend them without hesitation.

Helping with foot pain

Making a difference with chronic pain

SOLE footbeds

After seeing my podiatrist, he suggested I try these. I have plantar fasciitis in my Left foot and find walking difficult without much pain. I have worn these for several months and no longer have problems with pain in my foot. I owe this to the footbeds. It has made a big difference in how far I can walk, which I enjoy as my main form of exercise. Thank you for this product!!

The Best of the Best for me

I have now found the perfect SOLE footbed for me. This footbed is thin so there is is lots of space in my shoe and there is a Met Pad for support where I need it. I do have a couple of other SOLE footbeds which are very good and I bought when trying to find the perfect footbed for my foot…..and now I have found it.

As described

Socks are thick and comfortable. It's definitely good for hiking as it's thick enough to protect the foot from rubbing against the shoes. Also it's quick dry.

Great Product

First time that I have used SOLE foot beds and have been extremely pleased with them. Will be ordering another pair for sure with my next shoe purchase.

LOVE them

I have very high arches so I need foot support in all my shoes. I use these for my flats and slip on shoes and they are fantastic! I plan to buy more!

Great footbeds

Myself, my husband and son use SOLE footbeds. I had a heel spur and they were recommended for me, and ever since I’ve had no problem with my foot. They fit well, are comfortable. Cheryl

CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THESE

No ball of foot pain as long as I’m wearing these. The met pad relieves all the pain.

A MUST HAVE

I have serious ball of foot pain which is totally relieved with the met pad in these footbeds. Love them!

Best foot beds I've used

I've used the standard Active soles for several years, and recently decided to try these, with the Met pads. I walk an hour to work each day, and these have eased past struggles with neuroma.

Works as expected

Helps with foot pain

A Foot Saver!

These thin footbeds were the answer when custom orthotics did not work for me. They are flexible and give good support. I wear them in shoes that have removable insoles and in roomy footwear that I cannot remove the insoles.

Excellent foot beds

Used primarily in thermal safety work/rain boots. With the high number of steps taken in a day, these foot beds make all the difference to my foot comfort, and subsequently to my back, since my feet are sitting with proper alignment. This is my 2nd set of the same footbeds. Love them.

Active Thin with Met Pad Shoe Sole Review: Impressive Performance and Value

The Active Thin with Met Pad footbed has exceeded my expectations. It effectively alleviates foot cramps and is easy to thermoform. Despite its affordable price, it performs on par with my $650 orthotic sole. Highly recommended for its exceptional value and performance.

Love my new footbeds.

After wearing these for a few weeks now, I cannot go back. Resolved a lot of issues around foot pain and they make my footwear all the more comfortable.

Perfect.

My first pair of Sole footbeds came in a pair of Haglofs. Stroll,GTX. It was like walking on clouds from day one...I wore them every wet,muddy or cold day for roughly five years at which point I thought they couldn't last much longer and devoted them to strictly work boots. Long story short,I had a job that required a lot of mud and water remediation and I wore those boots/footbeds for six days all day,knee deep in mud and water,when I was done I thought for sure they're done and would fall apart but I took them home,hosed them off, put them in the sun to dry for about a week after that I thought they looked unusually good so I put the insoles back in,put them on and to my surprise they were as cozy as the day I got them. No damage at all. I just bought the second pair of performance wide and thick for my Danner. Pronghorn boots which were a little too roomy,put them in,tried the boots on and yeppers,once again a perfect fit and so comfy it's like walking on clouds. To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back" Absolutely love these foot beds.

Only footbeds I’ll wear!

By far the best footbeds I’ve found! Great arch support and comfort. I like that you can put them in the oven to mold to my foot! Highly recommend these!

Best footbed ever

I live on the southern coast of Oregon and our winters are very wet. Muck boots are a necessity. While they are comfortable on their own, the performance thick cork foot beds brought a whole new level of comfort.

Love these foot beds!!

SOLE footbeds are in all my shoes!! I have super happy feet! I highly recommend these!!!

Best foot beds ever!

I have SOLE food beds in all my shoes! My feet are so much happier now!!

Met pad really helped

The extra cushioning and met pad really helped my foot and toe pain

Great footbed upgrade to my ski boots!

I tried these out to see how the met pad feels to help with lower foot pain due to bunions in my ski boots and was pleasantly surprised how much better they felt than the stock inserts! Great fit around the heel area and didn't take any more volume in my already well fitted boot. Highly recommended!

Great foot bed

Fits in shoe perfectly and comfotable. With this am able to walk much longer!

Brandi C

Best sandals for relieving foot pain!

This sandals have been a game changer. My plantar fasciitis is no longer a daily struggle after the switch to these flip flops from my previous rubber soled sandals.

Best

I TRIED MANY A FOOT BED WASTED ALOT OF MONEY ON CHEAP KNOCK OFFS...THESE ARE BY FAR THE BEST 👌 MY FOOT PAIN IS GONE...

Comfortable helps with my foot pain

I been wearing these SOLE inserts for years I love that that my foot pain has disappeared. They are comfortable and fit in many different shoes.

My Daughter loves the comfort and support of these footbeds!

Having worn unsupportive shoes for a long time, my daughter was experiencing trouble with her feet. These foot beds in her shoes made a big difference to her foot health and comfort. Because they are thin they can be used in shoes that won't accept footbeds with more volume.

Really helped my feet

My feet love these foot beds. I haven’t tried the thin but the medium and thick are great. Thick is my favorite but they haven’t been in stock with my size lately. Anyway, so glad these are made. They surpass my custom orthotics in both comfort and affordability, allowing me to have multiple pairs which is much more convenient. Also, I have had very stubborn plantar fasciitis. The podiatrist actually recommended I try these instead of my customs I already had and they did help. I can’t go back to my customs now.

These are INCREDIBLE

I have been suffering near-debilitating-at-times plantar fasciitis for about the past 9-12 months. Nothing I did seemed to help in any meaningful way. I saw these footbeds advertised on Facebook and out of pure desperation thought "Why not". They arrived quickly, in beautiful, eco-friendly packaging. Within a day of wearing these in my running shoes, my foot felt better. Not cured, but better than it had felt in ages. Now, a month later, I can honestly say that I feel like my plantar fasciitis is almost cured. I still have some pain, but it has gone from what I'd rate as a 9/10 to a 1-2/10, and the pain is far less frequent as well. The telltale morning pain on stepping out of bed has almost even been alleviated! These footbeds are absolute miracles. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will definitely be ordering more, and am looking forward to trying out the footwear line as well! THANK YOU, SOLE!!

The stiff footbeds I was looking for

After a foot injury, I needed to keep my toe from bending as much and saw an ad for these. I have flat feet so the arch was needed as well. They've worked out well and got me back on my feet.

Curtis Mayfield

Great products!

I have been using SOLE inserts for years at the recommendation of my foot doctor. The sport thick inserts are in the majority of my shoes. These Thermal Thick with wool were on sale so I bought them. They are even thicker. So far so good. The only negative about ordering direct from SOLE is the shipping was very slow. Other than that, great products.

First footbeds

Never used footbeds but with lots of foot pain after pushing hard at gym. Once I used them I was able to continue to push my goals at gym again with out horrible pain

Thin for the win...

Finally was able to put these thin wide foot beds to use in my new golf shoes. Not sure that they have helped my game but my feet are comfortable!

Love the met pad

Met pad really helps with foot pain.

Met Pads - Amazing Support

I've been wearing these for about amount due to a foot injury. The quality, support and comfort they provide are amazing! They fit nicely into all of my shoes and boots.

Balanced foot support

I have two pairs now. One pair for the shoes I run in and one pair for the shoes I play ball in. These insoles provided immediate ongoing relief for a tight IT band issue caused by inward foot pronation.

Using these supports immediately remedy my foot pain

I use SOLE footbeds every day and recommend it to everyone in my family.

you can’t get a better foot bed

been wearing them for weeks now and I love them

Breathable Footbed

I have used the performance Footbed and decided to grab another pair for my other shoes. These are definitely much more breathable than the other model which is great for summer but the others are much better for winter. That said both Footbeds are awesome and have fixed this random foot pain I've had for years so they get a thumbs up in my book.

suzanne punga

Great orthotic foot bed

I first learned about SOLE during my first case of plantar fasciitis. I had custom orthotics made that didn’t work but tried on a SOLE flip. They made all the difference. It was wonderful and something I enjoyed wearing all year, in the house during cold weather and outside for summer and hot weather. Still getting the support I need.

My doctor did me a solid.

So my arch on one side has fallen completely. Combination of bad or worn out footwear, and carrying a baby around on that side. I went to my doctor to request a referral for custom orthotics as I had a little bit of coverage with benefits. My doc was like sure here’s the referral, but here’s the deal : you get custom orthotic funding once every two years and your customs will wear out before then. He popped off his shoes and had SOLE in his runners. So I ordered a pair. I had bought a pair of Form brand insoles a week before and they felt good. When my SOLE's arrived, I was in love with the first fit. There’s some nub in the middle that stabs into some part of my foot that the Form one does not have, that gives me a lot of relief. Is this fixing my problem? No, but my daughter also still demands to be carried a lot. These footbeds are giving me the support I need and the relief I need to get through the day. And I didn’t go out of pocket 300 bucks like I would have for the custom orthotics.

Foot beds for freedom

Since using SOLE footbeds and sandals my lower back pain disappeared. “FREEDOM of pain has changed my life.

Useful for foot maintenance

Both my feet are flat. I bought the wide size and cut them to fit my shoes. Very comfortable to walk/run with in shoes. Greatly exceed the quality and practicality of any factory inserts I have used.

good!

tough , engineered fabulously for all of what these do...love the foot control these give while cradling the feet..I always wonder what happens if I can't keep these around...all my danners whites & USA redwings would be so sad too this is a Canadian based business & I'm all USA on everything mostly but this is the rare exception. + they correspond so quickly when I had questions. world + class product thank you SOLE

Foot Bed & Sandals

I play quite a bit of tennis and have hardwood floors in my house... so lots of hard surfaces and I have high arches. I'm 62 and was starting to experience a chronic pain toward my big toe that was activated playing sports etc. I started with the footbeds and now have them in all my athletic shoes. I also wear their sandals around the house instead slippers as the arch support makes my feet feel livelier and pain free. Gonna buy a pair of the sandals for my friends dad that works on a hobby farm. He wears the footbeds that I recommended and i think the sandals would be good for him too!

Just as good as the ones from my podiatrist

They feel great and help me avoid foot pain.

👍🤓👍

I pedal a fair bit. Given the mileage have developed “hot foot” a number of years ago. These footbeds allowed me to keep riding with minimal discomfort . This is a quality product that I would HIGHLY recommend. 👍🤓👍

Super

These are great and work well with my hiking shoes. The met pad really helps a foot issue I have.

Great

These are great and work well with my everyday shoes. The met pad really helps a foot issue I have.

Foot care at its best

Perfect fit Feet and back have never been better

Been wearing this brand for years

I’ve been buying this brand through Amazon for many years. Glad I found the company site.with a better selection. These are so much better than superfeet which always squeaked. Eliminates knee pain. Podiatrist said these insoles have saved me from needing foot surgery.

Don Powell

offers great amount of foot support

been using these footbeds for several weeks now great for providing support

Footbeds relieved foot pain

It's only been 10 days since I've been wearing these, and they've already relieved my foot, ankle and knee pain that was caused by a fallen arch. The shipping was very quick - they arrived two days after I placed my order, which was great.

Great Foot Beds

I am on my feet for at least 12 hours a day and couldn't do what I do without my SOLE's.

Great foot beds

I am a nurse therefore on my feet for more than 12 hours a day. I couldn't do what I do without my SOLE's

Excellent footbeds

I’ve been using these for nearly 20 years now. I’ll only buy shoes that will accommodate them. They’ve relieved pain not just in my feet but knees and back too. You may need to get used to them if you’re not accustomed to actual foot support, but once you do it’s sooooooo worth it! I recommend them to anyone!

Best footbeds!!

The Sole footbeds have helped my plantar fasciitis tremendously. My foot specialist recommended these and I am so glad he did. Now I can walk with no pain.

Fantastic Foot beds

I heat molded mine and they are fantastic for hiking

number 1 for pain relief

My SOLE footbeds are great for the pain in my foot. I now can walk better and enjoy walking my dog once again.

Best over the counter foot beds

These truly mold to your foot and stand the test of time. I bought my first pair in 2016 and swapped from shoe to shoe. Now all my favorite shoes have their own inserts. Worth the money!

love these with the Met Pad

original even better now with the met pad. Fit great with the heated forming to your foot.

Great product

My foot doctor recommended SOLE foot beds for arch support and they really work. My foot has felt better since I started wearing them.

Still the best

I have used them for years and they make a big difference in my foot comfort. I tried several other brands before finding these and now they are my "go-to" inserts.

Love these foot beds

I've been using SOLE foot beds for years and still love them. My kids are now using them in their shoes and have commented on how much better their feet feel, as well.

Sarah Walford

Flip flops in a league of their own!

It's hard to call them flip flops because of their incredible arch support! Sooo comfortable and perfect foot bed fit! I need these in ever color!

Recommended by my Podiatrist

Love the arch height. Seems to make a difference in foot pain. Good product.

Michael Eskridge

Great Cold Weather Product

I've used these foot beds all winter in sub-20 degree weather, walking up to 5 miles per day. They really work well, without taking up a significant amount of room. Couldn't be happier with them!

Jennifer Slown

Feel good

My right foot has a slight collapse in the arch these for beds really help with the Met pad

Best footbed I have ever used

As far as I am concerned these footbeds are the best. I used them for years in work boots and they last for years. Now that I am retired I am using them again for my casual shoes. Personally, I don’t even heat them before wearing. I just put them in the shoes and let them mold to my foot specs in a few days.

Great for runners with limited foot room

My runners are already quite tight with their footbed in it but with SOLE, one it feels better and has better arch support. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fitted footbeds.

Great for low arches

I would say I like these foot beds but actually love them. Used them in my shoes for months now and feet do not hurt anymore. Will be buying more in the near future.

Awesome footbeds

Ever since I started wearing these footbeds, my foot pains went away.

Love these footbeds!

My husband has these footbeds in his cross country classic boots and they’ve been great. His foot pain is reduced, perfect level of support.

Carol Chase

LOVE THESE SANDALS

These shoes fit perfectly and have really helped my feet! My foot doctor recommended this brand to me because of a tendon problem I have; these "hard" flips literally make me able to take my dogs for walks again!

Ralph D

The Best and at a Low Price

I have been experiencing foot pain for about a year and eventually went to The Good Feet Store. For $400 they gave me arch supports which really never solves my problem. BTW thy have. No return policy. For 1/8 the price, my SOLE sandals are incredibly comfortable, and my foot pain is gone.

Only footbeds I get!

I have flat feet and will get pain in foot/ankle or shin splints with support. I have these in every single pair of my shoes and they really make a difference. I can especially notice when I walk around bare foot too long. I wish there were sandal options with this exact support!

Finally found footbeds that work for me.

I've tried dozens of footbeds to alleviate or at least reduce my foot pain caused by years of working on old, hard concrete hangar floors. SOLE footbeds are the only ones that I've found that are durable, and help my foot pain. Good product.

Great foot bed

I bought these for my Redwing boots these are so much better then what comes in there good boots.The cost is less as well versus buying them at Redwing.This is a game changer for boots feel much better with good arch support. I always buy my footbeds here.

Great gift for those with foot pain

After much success with my footbeds, got a pair for my sister. They have relieved her foot pain and she tells me they are very comfortable too.

Solved my incessant foot pain

Had this pain along the side of my foot that I lived with for some time. Thought it was just how things would be. I saw a video of someone recommending these and decided to take the chance. Glad I did, pain went away almost immediately.

Best foot beds ever

I’ve been useing these foot beds for about 15 years. They have cured my planter fasciitis there is nothing better.

Work greats!

I've been using the thicker footbeds for well over a decade. Was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis back in 2002. Wear them in every shoe I own. But had my daughter's wedding coming up and using the thicker ones in the fancy dress shoes they got me made my foot feel very cramped. My wife suggested trying the thinner ones, and they worked awesomely! Would love to say that with the footbeds I was able to dance 'the light fantastic'. Alas, I still dance like I have two left feet but I was in no pain! Thanks again, SOLE Products!

Great foot beds

I now have three set of these … they make shoes with no support much better if I’m wearing them for any length of time. Next to Birkenstocks, which are decidedly not winter footwear these are fantastic.

Love these!

I have bought 2 different thickness of these footbeds. I am dealing with foot pain and these have helped so much. I have put them in my dressier boots and they work great. I bought for my sandal type shoes but yet to use for that. Think they will be good.

So comfy

Honestly so comfortable and relieve any foot / back pain .

Best foot beds ever

I use these in my cycling shoes and skate boots. They give great support and prevent my getting hot foot by spreading my metatarsals apart with the Met pad

Helps toe numbness

I just started using in my running shoes. I wear a 9.5 womens so I had to trim the footbeds a little. I get numbness in my toes (self diagnosed metatarsalgia) when I run. Just in my left foot. But I wear these footbeds in both shoes to balance out

Great footbeds for pain relief

Got these for my wife and it has helped her with her foot pain.

Best footbeds ever!

I have been wearing these for 2 years now and got my husband 2 pairs for his dress shoes he wears to work. Both of us suffer from foot pain and the footbeds have allowed us to wear shoes comfortably, walk and hike without foot pain, and enjoy the gym again.

The answer to my foot problems

These have really helped with my foot pains. Years ago I broke a metatarsal, and these have made the discomfort and pain from that really disappear. Also, I have relatively flat arches. I chose the medium arch to help out. It felt unusual at first, but after 4-5 days it felt completely natural. Now I can't imagine not having these. Great product.

Foot pain cured!

Love these footbeds for their ease of installation into any shoe I wear, and because they have cured my plantar fasciitis when nothing else could!

Best yet

These consistently improve foot comfort and foot health

Not exactly what I expected

The product I bought was intended to provide comfort on the ball of my feet. I bought a Meta pair as these were described to help with the ball of foot comfort. I find them to have next to no padding in the ball area. There is an arch support, but definitely not what I was expecting for the ball of my feet. Good, but not as advertised exactly.

I have wide foot (W4) these footbeds are a GOTTA GET!!

I bought one pair, on a recommendation from my tennis coach. Wowwy!! Glad I did! Now I bought three more pairs for my running shoes, and every day shoes. Better than wearing your favorite slippers. Comfortable all day!

Very happy with the results

This is the second pair of "active thins with met pad" I bought. I found them to be extremely comfortable and have helped deal with my foot pain during exercises. I bought the thins because of the existing running shoes I have (i.e., not a lot of room). They fit well. Though I thought the break-in period might take a while, I found them to have shaped my feet within a few days of walking and running (after about 10-12 hours of activity).

Great insoles for winter boots / rubber boots

Made my winter boots (northface) way more comfortable for my arch support. I’ve ordered a pair to my rubber boots as well. Both boots fit snug, these footbeds allow for the support without making my foot feel cramped.

Katy Storm

cozy and comfy support

I purchased these for my rain boots, since the stock insoles didn't offer enough support and my foot slid around. The SOLE insoles keep my feet cozy and offer great support for long walks in cold, wet weather.

Very comfortable

I have bunions and thought I’d give these insoles a try. I wear them in my blundstones. They are very comfortable and the met pad is like a foot massage with every step you take.

maxime lee-vzina

good arch support

good arch support for my flat foot

Athletic use

Absolutely love these! They are in my workout sneakers but I need to also put them in my regular shoes. Recommended them to my sister who had two surgeries on her foot and still in pain.

Great foot bed. Very. Comfortable

Love them. Will definitely purchase more as needed.

Helped my feet so much!

Within a week, I noticed my feet feeling so much better. I have foot pain related to bunions and flat feet. I've since bought pairs for my husband and son.

Cured my foot problems!

Had a problem with my Achilles tendons and bone spurs in my heels. Put these in my running shoes and the problems disappeared almost over night! I cannot recommend these enough.

Denise Boniface

I can wear sandals again!

I have paid thousands of $ on Orthotics, they didn’t help as much as SOLE foot beds. Orthotics look hideous in sandals. These sandals are Great!

Love these

Slowly integrating these into as many shoes as I can. I have a versatile history with foot problems (flat arches, planter fasc., broken sesamoid bone, on and on) and these are really helpful with everyday foot health maintenance.

Best foot beds for leg/back pain

My wife and I have been wearing these for the past few years. Have multiple pairs to satisfy all our footwear. Lower back pain and leg pain has been decreased to a bear minimum.

Excellent product

Met pad is a nice improvement over plain versions which I've used for many years in mtb shoes. I sized up because my arch is longer and taller than average for my foot length--front of insole had to be trimmed in order to fit. I also have a pair of Active Thick Met which are even more comfortable. If outer edges of heel cup were slimmed down a touch in order to make it easier to fit into shoe, they'd be perfect

Planters fasciitis

My daughter had me order these insoles because I was diagnosed with Planters fasciitis. I saw the foot doctor and he agreed the made my feet stop hurting right away. Amazing!!!!!

Teresa Potter

Love these! They are saving my feet

Been having really bad foot pain/plantar fasciitis. These are the only shoes I can wear for any period of time and my feet be ok. I love the arch support. Also, each side of the heel is slipped upward/arched. These are well worth the money! Very orthotic but still stylish.

Performance Wide Thick Footbeds Are Worthy-Excellent Product

Swapped the standard footbed in some wide size hiking boots because they seemed to allow my foot to shift around too easily. Not only was the support improved dramatically (helping my arthritis and collapsing arches) but they fit perfectly completely eliminating the shifting. There was enough room to accommodate a dual-layer sock comfortably.

Best footbeds in the country

I've suffered from plantar fasciitis and bone spurs in both feet for 20+ years. SOLE footbeds have kept my feet comfortable for many, many years. I place SOLE footbeds in every shoe and boot that I wear. Honestly, they have been a foot saver.

Foot relief

SOLE provides relief for my plantar. It worked so well I ordered a second pair for my every day shoes.

Great Industry Standard for Arch support

Love these because they're so thin. I don't always use arch supports as I believe there is some benefit to building the muscle in your foot without additional support, but for longer runs, uphill ski days, and recovery, these inserts are perfect to maintain the performance of your footwear without being too cumbersome - my go-to foot beds.

Easy to use and feel great

I've worn these now for the last couple of weeks and they've been great. I had this foot pain that I would get when walking for long distances and since wearing these, the pain is totally gone. These are great.

Rae Conway

Comfortable

I have foot issues and these footbeds help with the pain in my feet and ankles and give enough support so when I'm not wearing shoes, my feet are in less pain. Customer Service is outstanding.

Footbeds

SOLE foot beds are awesome! I buy them for all my shoes.

Mary Lynde

Super comfortable

I love these new booties. The footbed is perfect and molds to my foot making them really comfortable. I wear and 8-8.5 and the fit just right.

Sandy V

Great boots

I love a good looking boot that does not compromise my foot health.

FAVORITE SOCK! WORTH THE $

It had been several years since I had tried the dual layer sock concept. The brand I first tried just never felt quite right - almost like you were too aware of the second layer. Not the case with these SOLE socks. It just feels one nice comfortable hug around my foot. Great for hiking and running. They seem well constructed and my sense is they will be quite durable - I'm pretty brutal on socks. A good investment in your feet and comfort!

Mark Goerzen

Best foot beds

Best foot beds. I have the SOLE insoles in all my shoes

Best prefabricated footbeds available

As a physical therapist, these are the ONLY foot beds I support. They’re great for every foot type and I wear them in all of my shoes. I recommend these to everyone!

Really helps with metatarsal pain

I have tried lots of orthotics including the Thick with metatarsal pads from SOLE as well as other brands. These work best for me for preventing foot pain. With the thick orthotics the metatarsal pad is too rigid and hurts my feet. I have bone on bone in the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal joint of each foot due to osteoarthritis and these pads in my rigid vibram-sole hiking boots and Hoka bondi tennis shoes have allowed me to keep walking and hiking. Some reviews say they wear out but I used to have custom orthotics and at the price of the SOLE Medium Performance with met pad inserts I can replace 2 pairs 4 times for the price of custom orthotics. Some may need custom orthotics but these work well for me. My hiking boots are Size 8 and my Hokas are 7.5. These SOLE inserts fit both really well and the heel cup is deep enough that my heel doesn't slide.

The best “off the shelf” inserts I’ve found.

I work at a V. A. and provide custom foot orthotics for our Veterans. I’m always looking for good, off the shelf, non custom inserts to recommend and for people who are not completely flat footed, these are great.

Best footbeds for Work Boots

I purchased these for my work boots after I had already had some for my everyday boots. They help with my foot pain and stop the pain in my lower back from wearing work boots all day. Will buy again

Best Footbeds I ever Bought

I purchased these footbeds because I get pain in my foot and have drop foot. After putting these in my work boots ,the pain is almost gone while I am at work. Will be buying some for golf shoes.

Great foot beds

Absolutely the best - I've tried others and these win - hands down!!!

Janice Barr

My after work go to

I'm on my feet all day at work and have a few foot issues so it's great to put these on when I get home.

no pain

relieves foot pain

Goodbye foot pain

I wear these in all my running shoes. They’ve taken care of the foot and ankle issues I usually encountered. The insoles are well-made, long lasting, and comfortable. Highly recommend for foot health.

My Go-To for foot comfort

My feet have given me pain for years, and I've worn through a lot of insoles, trying to find something that works--and lasts. When a friend suggested I try SOLE, I thought, okay, I'll give them a go. That was at least 10 years ago, and I've never looked back. These insoles are by far the best I've tried, and they really do hold up well. I give them my highest recommendation.

Finally found insoles that work for me.

I have tried dozens of different footbeds over the years. Trying to ease my foot pain from working on old, hard concrete hangar floors. I have stacks of ones that I have tried and did not work. SOLE footbeds are the only ones that have helped. They have deep heel cups to keep my foot stable while walking carrying a heavy tool bag. The arch is just right. Many of the high priced ones have too extreme of an arch. The bottom layer is firm, and keeps your foot from squishing around in your shoe, like some of the overly cushioned ones. They have just the right amount of cushion. Also, they are not overly tall at the heel. I need this. Because of the damage to the nerves in the balls of my feet. I cannot have the forward rake. It causes too much pain. I need as neutral a platform as possible. The material layer that your foot sits on is extremely tough! It has held up to very demanding work conditions that include a lot of walking and an active work environment. I am completely sold on SOLE footbeds. Also, they are more reasonably priced than many of the ones that i have tried and did not work for me. Plus, they give you discounts once you become a customer. I wish I would have had them years ago! It would possibly helped keep my foot pain from getting worse as time went on, and would have saved me a lot of money wasted on footbeds that did not work. Thank you!! ............ Also, the thick ones are good if you have a little extra room in your shoes. The mediums are good as a direct replacement in shoes that fit just right. ...... My search for good insoles has come to an end!!!

Fantastic footed

Been using SOLE for many years, I suffer from very flat feet. I tried Super Feet and Dr Scholls, but the only one that seems to do the job just right is SOLE.

My son now believes

My son had gotten a new job and was working 12 hour days. his feet were killing him. Ordered the SOLE foot beds and he started using them. Almost instant relief. He is now a believer.

PG

Super comfy flips

Finally! A flip that gives me metatarsal as well as arch support for metatarsalgia. From the first time I put them on I could walk around in them with no foot pain. I am usually a half size, and the recommendation to order the next full size up was a good one - they fit just right. I am very happy with the comfort, look and quality. I hope they hold up as well as I expect. You have a new fan, SOLE!

The Best!

Consistently awesome inserts! Recommended by my doctor years ago. Have used them ever since and never have foot problems. Love!

Great foot bed

Comfortable. Fit as expected. Great for skiing

Saved my feet!!

I started having pain from Plantar Fasciitis about 6 months ago. I paid $500 for custom orthotics. After 3 months of constant pain and going back to the foot doctor after my ankles were hurting. I came across SOLE online. I figured I had nothing to lose!! I wear safety shoes 8-10hrs on concrete flooring. I felt immediate relief. I'm hoping eventually I will be pain free now that I great support. But these were a life saver and I have now bought a pair for all my shoes!!

My husband's favourite

My husband has a pair of these in every pair of shoes. The medium thickness works very well for a normal volume foot.

My go-to footbeds

I've basically been using the SOLE Thin footbeds exclusively for a few years. I have high volume feet and these work great in my shoes. I have fairly flat feet, and I find these really help with foot fatigue. The wide are even better but don't fit as well in normal width shoes.

Love these foot beds.

I bought my first pair about a year and a half ago. Since then I have bought a pair for every pair of shoes I own. They are totally worth the money. Break in time is pretty quick too, but they do not wear out at all! I have Thin, Medium, and the Thick. They are all great.

Works great in ski boots

My friends said replacing the stock insole in my ski boot would make a big difference. (Most of them have custom insoles.) My boots fit fine so I didn't think it'd matter much. I eventually tried this SOLE footbed and was surprised how much it helped my skiing form. I could better feel where I was weighting my foot since it was now supported. Highly recommend.

Very good a bit narrow in the midfoot

I love SOLE footbeds, but I would really like them to make a wide model that is not only wide in the forefoot but also in the midfoot/arch section. I feel the wide versions have the exact same midfoot width as the normal ones. My foot goes a bit over the arch and is hence not supported on all its width. Still an excellent product. For the limited gain in space, I feel the Thin version is not worth it over the Medium because they are notably (and obviously) less comfortable. I think you can get away with using the Mediums in most footwear. Thanks to SOLE for making great products.

Fantastic x2

I got a pair for my son and he liked them so much I got a pair for myself and have enjoyed both the comfort and reduction in foot pain.

A great choice when there isn't enough volume for thicker foot beds!

I have used the Medium thickness footbeds in my hiking boots. However, the volume of the boot is not quite great enough and the thicker footbed elevates my foot just enough to cause a pressure point at the top of my heel. The Thin footbeds are much better in this application AND I get the comfort benefit of SOLE's met pad!!

Love these footbeds

I have a bunion and pronation. The metpad supports the transverse arch of my foot so my 1st metatarsal is not already bottomed out in push off position in neutral. I think it helps the foot from getting tight in the places that reinforce the bone position that leads to the bunion rubbing and getting larger.

Bronwyn Amesbury

Comfort for summer

These shoes are well designed and have helped my foot pain improve over the weeks I’ve been wearing them. I wouldn’t wear anything else because of the difference they’ve made.

Amazing product

I’ve been wearing them for a couple of weeks and I love them. They’ve reduced the pain below my foot. Very comfortable!

Pain-free

I wear them in all my shoes since my Podiatrist recommended SOLE footbeds to prevent the recurrence of plantar fasciitis and I haven’t had any foot pain in years!

These are the best shoe inserts!

A local Certified Pedorthist introduced me to SOLE over 15 years ago, and I have been using their footbeds ever since. All of my shoes have a SOLE insert in them. Having been flat-footed my entire life, these allow me to stay on my feet all day, every day, and maintain my active lifestyle. I have worn both the Active and the Active with Met Pad and have been very pleased with both. Great customer service, incentives for us customers, free shipping on purchases when creating an account, and their environmental mission makes me a loyal customer for the years to come.

Saved my foot

I had a stress fracture because I wasn’t updating my shoes often enough. Starting wearing these insoles and my fracture has healed completely.

Absolutely incredible comfort after moulding process.

Absolutely blew my mind I'll be ordering new ones for other shoes so I don't have to swap them out. I'll be spending some serious $ to make sure my shoe collection; going 39 pairs strong get the correct SOLE. These are game changers. Absolutely perfect. These guys cracked the whole footed game and made it easy as 200 degrees and 2 minutes to make your shoe go from super comfortable to wildly comfortable... It adds a whole new level to Adidas with boost or bikes with React ... It's just insane how great these are. I love em.

Best foot inserts ever.

I have been wearing these for several years. I think they are the best.

Relieved food pain

I had been having pain in the ball of my foot after working all day, or going on long walks. I purchased my first pair in December and have been very pleased. They really have helped give my foot the support it needs to alleviate the pressure on the ball of my foot. I will be buying more.

Best foot beds

I have been wearing these for years

Feels great

I have been wearing these insoles for my metatarsal fallen bone arch for close to three weeks. I am being totally honest when I say I have NO more pain, I'm walking without a limp, and walking at my normal pace! I am thrilled. Thank you so much. Now I don't have to go to a foot clinic and dish out 450.00. Love my insoles.

Helpful

I have been struggling with severe foot pain for months. A friend of mine recommended these SOLE inserts and they have helped a lot.

Happy feet, clear conscience.

Referred by a colleague. Foot support is critical for well being in my profession (Paramedic). These are just as comfortable for my back, knees, legs, and feet as a different insole that I have used for years. But even better is that these last longer, and after a year of constant use seem to have zero foot odor whatsoever. The other kind I used could be washed, but also break down and need replacement by this point. I am converted! Take advantage of their rewards options and deals all year long to get your best value and to avoid paying the intimidating price.

AMAZING product saved my feet

I am very flat footed. Add to that I had MAJOR ankle surgery on my right ankle (all 3 sides opened up, bone removed, ligaments cut and re aligned, screws in heel area) so it’s safe to say I have daily foot pain. After working all day my foot is stiff and sore like a peg leg. For an active person like myself it wasn’t good. Tried all kinds of creams, pain killers, even other inserts and orthotics…. Today I wore my SOLE inserts for the first time in my steel toed work boots…. It was LIFE CHANGING! After 8 hours on my feet, ladders, hauling heavy items…. NO FOOT PAIN!!! I’ve been home and rested… went to get up and it’s honestly like I have been given a new right foot! I am so thankful for my friend referring me to your company!!! I only wish I would have done it about 4 years ago!!! I can’t even thank you enough for these SOLE inserts…. You have given me my full life back! Thank you doesn’t seem appropriate, I will tell everyone I know about your amazing inserts. Lifetime purchaser here.

SOLE has been with me for more than a decade

I first began using SOLE as a foot support in my running shoes when I saw that ultra-endurance athlete Dean Karnazes had a signature footbed and endorsed them. I've utilized them inside my daily work boots for healthy foot support in recent years.... if you have lower extremity foot or joint pain this could be your ticket (without a podiatrist). I must emphasize, I only use the rubber bottom footbeds (the cork/biodegradable bottoms just fall apart too quickly). I've used them in military fitness wear. I once wore a pair during a grueling SF selection course.... which included a 25 mile trek with 45lbs pack for time. Along with multiple other long mileage ruck distances. These footbeds held up in flawless fashion, supporting my movement, and overall training health in noticeable ways over the rest of my class. If you are on your feet regularly occupationally, many times we forget about the critical nature of ensuring foot support is renewed and effective physiologically. It effects the entire day, and I'm so pleased to have found this brand a decade+ ago, and that they're still around!! SOLE has a world class product, and I see why Dean endorsed their gear. Thank you for contributing to overall health of Day in/Day outers everywhere!!!!

Alleviates foot pain

I have metatarsalgia, and many of my shoes were becoming too painful to wear. The pain was so persistent that it became difficult to live an active lifestyle. After a quick self-evaluation on the SOLE website, I found the appropriate insert for me. So far, it’s been super helpful and allowed me to return to my active lifestyle without any pain or discomfort. Highly recommend!

The Met Pad has resolved my chronic foot pain

These footbeds are thicker than most footbeds sold in footwear. You may need the thinner version. The met pad has made activities like skating, skiing and hiking fun again!

Mateo Slides

I’m wearing these slides as my indoor slippers. If you suffer from foot pain, the metatarsal support is excellent. You can wear socks to keep your toes warm.

Sole Performance insole

My recent purchase is for my wife as she was complaining about having foot pain and discomfort on her plantar fascia because of being on her feet, working for 12 hours. As soon as we put the SOLE Performance insole on her working shoes, the first week, she already noticed a big difference. From scale of pain of 10, to 5. She continues using the SOLE insole and it has been about a month now and the pain and discomfort is about 2-3. This insole is a great product, I like that it is heat moldable to customize to the contour of your feet. I myself is using this product in my cycling shoes. I highly recommend this product and thank you for developing a product that serves the purpose and works good 😊

Great Foundation and Fit

My foot size is 15N, basically no arch and I weigh 260 pounds. These SOLE Active Thick insoles offer excellent support and often times a size 15 only comes in medium width so these thick inserts enable size medium to fit perfectly and comfortably. I coach, so use in athletic shoes, work boots, as well as dress shoes. If I have a 15N shoe, thinner SOLE inserts works best. The Active Thick raises my heel too much in some shoes. I use these in all my shoes. Highly recommend!

I depend on my insoles

In 2015 my right foot was fractured in three places. Following three surgeries and rehab, my Orthopedic doctor suggested SOLE insoles: specifically the thick ones. I was skeptical. I bought a pair. Molded it to my feet as directed in the instructions. And instantly realized the insoles provided me the necessary relief to my feet, which also gave relief to my knees. I have SOLE insoles in all my shoes and boots!

changed my life

A foot specialist recommended I try SOLE. I've been using them for over 5 years. They changed my life! I put them in ALL my shoes.

Excellent Support

I have a lot of foot pain, probably the result of 40+ years of jobs standing all day on hard floors, running, trail running, and playing soccer. Gave up running and soccer a few years ago. I put these in my cycling shoes. They provide excellent support, pain reduction, and my feet no longer cramp while cycling (which was a nuisance). I have a custom orthotic from a podiatrist. The SOLE insoles provide a similar amount of support at a fraction of the price. They are not quite as comfortable as the custom insoles, but the comfort definitely improves as they mold to your feet. .

A must for every shoe.

I've been wearing SOLE foot beds for several years now. They are a absolute must for me now whenever I buy a new pair of shoes. My feet feel better, more stable and I can stand and walk for longer periods of time. I bought them for my husband and now he loves them too!

These are my favorite!

I've been wearing SOLE footbeds for years and years! I think these Active Thin with Met Pads are my favorite, but it depends on your shoes and what you are looking for. The video SOLE provides that explains the differences between the various footbeds is very helpful. I have chronic foot pain and these are great.

Work boots are enjoyable to wear

Switching to these insoles from another well known brand that I trusted for awhile. Once broken in to mold to your foot, these insoles make my work boots a bit more enjoyable to wear!

Lifesaver

Union electrician on my feet all day in work boots. Been using these footbeds for almost 9 years now. Used to deal with terrible foot pain until I discovered these. I tell every tradesman I know. Great arch support.

The very best ever

After trying every insole I could find for my husband to try, this one is it! He has a pair in all his shoes. He walks 5-10 miles every day in his work boots and is flat footed. SOLE footbeds are fabulous.

Randy Chenoweth

Feels good right out of the box

Love them right away, my foot seems glued into the cork inside footbed. A little apprehensive prior to seeing the outer sole but loving the grip on our wood floors and due to the style of shoe they will stay on sidewalks for dog walking but these soles and the general hug I get from wearing them will do great there. However, I will probably not wear them out in the garden ( yikes) because these will serve as my go to Sunday meeting here in Coastal North Carolina. Definitely not beach wear!

THEY HAVE KEPT ME ON MY FEET

Around 25 years ago I developed a foot problem that made walking painful. A podiatrist made some hard plastic orthotics that helped a lot and a few years later I could get by without them. Then my wife gave me a pair of SOLE footbeds and I've been using them every day since. I have them in all my shoes and my foot pain, caused by a malformed bone has not returned. I often go on 5-mile hikes by the way, without difficulty.

Linda Smulka

Mendocino Sport Slide has been great for me

I've loved these sandals for years and just purchased my third pair for use next summer. I have wide, flat feet (hard to fit in sandals) and wear orthotics in shoes. These are great for preventing my plantar fascitis susceptibility so I use them as slippers at night. They make great recovery sandals after exercise. I recently broke my leg and have had tons of swelling in that foot and ankle. While I've always appreciated the adjustability of these, it's been incredibly helpful now. One foot has normal width for me and the other must be opened wider. As my swelling has decreased, I've adjusted tighter again. I wear them during the day in summer at the beach and pool, in the water wading on pebbly/rocky surfaces. Again, I have to be careful to prevent the plantar problems I've had before and wearing these have been a lifesaver, especially if I wear them most of the day. They are very comfortable, with just enough arch support. I highly recommend these!

Lynne

Excellent

I really love these flip flops, the cork foot beds are the best and the colour selection is awesome!

Lynne

Great flip flops

I have been wearing this style for years-really love the cork foot beds!

Donna

Can’t Do Without the Catalinas

I have terrible metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain) which is completely alleviated by wearing these. I discovered them in 2012 and I’ve worn them daily since. ❤️

Tracy MacIntyre

Best flip flops ever

I have been wearing these for weeks now and they are very comfortable and very supportive especially if you suffer from foot pain. These are now my everyday indoor shoes. I love them!! Please never discontinue these.

Best footbeds ever

I have foot problems and spent $600.00 on custom orthotics. They never fit right or felt good even after many adjustments. I decided to try the SOLE footbeds and would never go back to custom orthotics again. They can be heated to mold to the shape of your feet.

Great footbeds

These fit very well and I have no foot pain whatsoever when I walk which is usually at least 10k a day. Highly recommend

Solved my issues at a reasonable price.

I normally use custom footbeds to stabilize my foot and relieve foot pain. So far these seem to do the trick at a much more reasonable price point..

Great orthotic footbeds for my running shoes

I've been wearing these for a few months and they are great, no foot pain.

No pain, comfortable

I often get sore on the bottoms of my foot while on a training run. Since I started using them I haven't had any issues. I was able to complete the 70mile race without pain. I am very happy with the product:)

Custom Orthotics Step Aside

I was experiencing heel and other pain in my right foot. I am assuming this was caused by wearing my custom orthotics well beyond their expiry. They cost about $400 each. My Physiotherapist suggested SOLE, before considering getting fitted for custom orthotics. My pain is almost completely gone. They feel great each and every time I put them on. I don't know how long they will last (it has been about a month now), but they are a fraction of the cost of customs. I couldn't be happier with them.

They help so much with foot pain

I have sesamoiditis in my left foot it and it really helps with the pain. This is my second time wearing this particular item and it's changed my working out for the better, substantially.

Sarah O'Donnell

Awesome Support!

After owning a pair of SOLE shoes, this was my first time getting the inserts and I LOVE them!!. The cork absorbs impact and cushions great and the met pad and arch support keep my foot pain at bay. Looking forward to trying other styles.

Great support with Performance Medium with Met Pad

I have been wearing them for a few weeks, traveled, and walked a lot and these insoles really support my foot.

Fantastic footbeds

I purchased these for my skates. I have tried at least 5 types including custom footbeds, Superfeet, Dr. Scholls and Bauer heat molded speed plates. Given that the SOLE footbeds have all the foot relief remedies built into the sole, topped with the pad for comfort makes these the best yet for my skates. The pain I used to suffer starting half way through my ice times is gone! Now I can skate for hours.

John Garratt

Best of everything

I love these shoes. They are waterproof and come with their own inbuilt footpad, so a one stop shop for foot comfort. The toe box is nice and wide, so helps with my Morton's Neuroma issue by giving lots of toe space. Love them

SOLE inserts make my workday less painful

I discovered SOLE Active Medium inserts about 15 years ago in the outpatient pharmacy of the hospital I use worked at. I was desperate for foot relief and by the time I started using the SOLE brand I wasn't so sure if I could continue to work the 12 hour shifts that I was assigned. At first I kept replacing my shoes and that did not work, then tried some inserts from nationwide retailers and I still pretty severe foot pain at the end of each work shift. One day In was in the hospital outpatient pharmacy and noticed the SOLE inserts and I also noticed what to at the time seemed to be premium prices for shoe inserts at $42 a pair. The pharmacy staff didn't know much about the SOLE brand ,but when I read the package product description and noticed the way the inserts were nicely packaged, I figured that the company must stand behind their inserts and truly believe in it seeing how they invested in the packaging also. I guessed right and it was night and day from the very first day I started wearing these . I trim them to the same size as the inserts I pulled from the new shoes and use my daily walking to mold them to my feet. That was 15 years ago and I've never had work shoes that did not have SOLE inserts in them. They are awesome! Lifetime SOLE customer,

Bear with the break in period, worth it.

Similar to a pair of quality cork shoes or slippers. These insoles will conform to your feet. To say they add insulation to your footwear is kinda a no brainer. To say I noticed an improvement of warmth I'd neither agree or disagree. Relying on insoles alone is wrong. Layering your socks and correct footwear is key! These insoles would be an added comfort in foot comfort with some possible negligible reduction in cold or heat transfer.

Out performs the competition

Purchased other insoles, but nothing has been more fulfilling to alleviate foot problems than these cork insoles

Great support for tired feet

I have high arches, and love to hike. I have been using these insoles for over five years and replacing them every six months, and I have no foot pain, even with long hikes

relaible

stops foot fatigue, supports me during long hikes

keep your balance

While these footbeds don't last nearly as long as the thick ones, they help stop foot fatigue in tight fitting shoes

It’s about the cute little things

After my foot injury I could no longer wear my cute flats. My converse runners, my TOMS, my moccasins plus many others until I found SOLE Active Thins. They fit in these low profile shoes without being seen. So grateful to feel good while still wearing flats.

Game changer

I have very high arches and am very active in the outdoors. Hiking and snowshoeing are my regular activities. A few years ago I was struggling and unable to do any walking activities without extreme pain until a foot specialist told me about SOLE inserts. I am back to my regular activities.

Thin Foot Beds

I wear these in my skates for a custom fit. I can feel the connection between foot and skate.

Great relief

I was already a customer of SOLE insoles for plantar fasciitis, but never had tried the insoles with the Met pads, it is great. I used to feel my toes and ball of the foot kind of sleepy after a day at work, but in the first day I start using the ones with Met pads after work I felt my feet fine, and now after around a month using the insoles, my feet feel good again.

Better than Expensive Orthotics from Doctor

These inserts are wonderful. They provide amazing support, and are at least as good as the orthotics I purchased from my foot doctor (and at a fraction of the price). I ordered 6 pair (so I don't have to constantly switch) for less than what I paid for one set of orthotics. Will buy again! Thank you.

I thought I was going to need orthotics :(

A sudden & very painful onset of metatarsal-area pain prompted me to look for a solution...even if just a temporary one. I bought two different (and less expensive) metatarsal foot pain relief products and both failed miserably. The SOLE Met Pad footbed provided instant relief...but more importantly, lasting relief. It hasn't eliminated my problem - obviously I have a structural issue that needs to be addressed, but when I'm wearing shoes with the SOLE insole inside, the pain instantly drops by about 50% and once I start walking, after about 50-100 steps, the pain drops another 25-40%. Sometimes it goes away completely. On a related note, if you are a DIY kind of person, I have also started the first set of exercises in the book - The Foot Fix: 4 Weeks to Healthier, Happier Feet by Yamuna Zake - and they have made a big difference too. But first, buy a couple of pairs of SOLE insoles...I have recommended them to two friends already :)

Great for Skiing too.

I've used SOLEs for running, casual wear, and now skiing. They help my foot balance in the boots, it helps with comfort and control.

Great footbeds.

I've been using SOLE footbeds for several years after discovering them in a running store. I used to be an avid runner but was diagnosed with a physical condition and had to stop. I now use them in my casual shoes, keeps my foot balanced and less fatigue overall. I've tried other inserts, many didn't have longevity or were too soft. I always seem to come back to SOLE, especially since they have a variety of inserts for different shoes. My daughter, who is an avid runner now uses them too.

Excellent footbeds

Excellent footbeds I am a physician and have been using and referring these foot beds for many years. They are especially good for plantar fasciitis and flat feet. The company also gives tremendous customer support.

Affordable and works well

These footbeds molded quickly to my feet and were exactly what I was looking for to put in my Blundstones. I ordered the same size as my shoe and there was no trimming required. I still find the medium cushioning to be on the thin side, so if you have the space I would definitely suggest going with the "thick" for more comfort (I just couldn't be bothered to ask for an exchange). I have also had some issues with corns on the ball of my foot so I got the met pad, and the corns have greatly diminished. The met pad felt a bit weird during the first few wears but now it isn't at all noticeable. After looking at many options I'm so glad I went with SOLE! Their customer service team is awesome and very responsive.

Work footbeds

Had many of these. Last you about 6 months at 5 days last week say good bye to foot pain.

No more foot pain!

Since buying 4 pairs at a great price and inserting them in my work boots, casual shoes and hiking footwear all have resolved my plantar fasciitis.

Replaced $800.00 Orthotics!

I bought these for my wife, who has been dealing with severe foot pain for years. Even her $800.00 prescription orthotics had stopped helping. I convinced her to try SOLE, and bought her both the Active Wide Thick, and the Active Wide Thin, to fit her various shoes and boots. It has been about a month, and her foot pain has improved significantly!

Support for my son’s 4E width foot

Thank you for making wide inserts that helps my son’s bunion so he can stand at work and run afterwards

My go to foot support

I love these foot beds and recommend them to my physical therapy patients. I have flat feet, over pronation, and a bunion. The met pad helps support my transverse arch (going across from the big toe to the little toe) and align my big toe.

Does the job

Perfect fit. No more foot pain.

Holly Majors

Best support

I’m an RN and on my feet long hours in addition to the fact that I had a bad foot injury almost 10 years ago that continues to ache. With these I can make it through my day without my feet aching and giving out. Even better is the layer of wool that keeps my feet warm. I have Raynaud’s disease so keeping my feet warm is very important. I’ve wasted so much money trying to find comfortable support and my niece told me about these when she was an EMT. I’ve been loyal since finding them 2 years ago! Best investment ever for my feet!

Hiked the Appalachian Trail with my Soles!

I used my SOLE footbeds on a 900 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail. The product gave support and comfort the entire hike. While other hikers complained about their foot pain I remained pain free and happy!

Start and end here. ;)

Wanted to take a moment and share my experience with these insoles / footbeds. After trying many other brands and styles, I’ve finally found the footbeds that work perfectly for my foot and shoe. I work retail and am on concrete all day long. These footbeds provide superb support with great cushioning. They fit true to size. I was able to use the Men’s W10 in a Danner 9.5 Bull Run boot without any trimming needed. Give these a try and you’ll probably love them too.

My go-to for foot comfort and arch support

I have accumulated a good number of these footbeds because I use them in every pair of shoes I own. I started years ago with one or two, pairs but after years of using other footpads and being disappointment, I didn't want to buy too many of a new set. But then, they turned out to the BEST I'd ever worn, and one order led to another, etc. I do highly recommend this SOLE!

The BEST!!!!!

I have tried the doctor making a mold of my feet. Also spent money on another companies product, that they said would fix my problem with a flat foot. I found the Met Pad and my life changed. I am very active and these work great.

Everyday foot beds

These are great for every day use. I swap these between my boots and shoes.

Great foot beds

I wear these in my work boots where I'm on my feet all day and my feet are no longer sore at the end of the day

Insole thats thin up front

I need an insole that has mid to high arch support and also thin under the ball of the foot. These seem to work for me.

Andre Remillard

Near instant relief of foot pain

I have been wearing this product in my hiking boots for about five weeks. The “home baked” heat molding process was easy and shaped the insert for a custom fit to my foot and my boot. The wool liner provides warmth in the extreme cold that I hike in. Excellent product. I was also pleasantly surprised by the company’s exemplary customer service when we had a size issue with another of their products. When I requested a return authorization number, SOLE responded quickly and with complete satisfaction beyond my expectations! Great product, great company!

Work better than super feet for me

My ski boot fitter turned me on to these foot beds, recommending the met pad, and now they are my go to for all my boots. I've got a moderate bunion on one side and they just seem the most comfortable for me.

Gregory Pierce

Much Bigger Difference than Anticipated

Started looking for insoles because of a deep bruise in the ball of my foot (came down on too many pointy rocks in a row trail running in the Rockies--bad luck!). Especially wanted something with a met pad. Got a good intro deal with SOLE, so went for it. Amazing! I really didn't think that the difference would be that dramatic, not only for my injury, which these definitely have helped, but just in general for the support and health and stamina of my feet. I'm 50, trail run 125-140 miles most months, and I was really beginning to feel strain in my feet these past few years. Just a general enervation in them, really, which I attribute to age more than anything. Having worn these insoles for some time now, I am, again, just amazed at the comfort and stamina the support they provide has provided. I've now purchased several more pairs for my hiking boots and my gym/lifting shoes. What a difference. Highly, highly recommended!

Cathie

Very good foot beds

Feel comfortable and great support for my arches

Whole different story now

Will make any shoes so much more comfortable. And your feet rest as they should. Significantly reduce foot fatigue.

Jerri Hunter

Best foot beds ever!

I have been wearing for a couple of years. Would not wear another brand. Recommended by my podiatrist. Great customer service!

Best footbed I’ve ever worn

Been suffering from plantar fasciitis and other foot pains to the point where I would call in at work because I wasn’t able to walk and my foot would be swollen. I decided to finally give this footbed a try. I’m in steel toes and on my feet all day. Second day wearing these, my plantar and foot pain is starting to go away and I’ve been able to start walking properly again without limping . I would recommend these to everyone and will purchase more for all my shoes.

No Pain

Had foot pain. Started wearing these insoles. Wow, amazing! Relieved the pain. I’m on my feet all day. I’m a nurse. I bought insoles for all my shoes.

Best footbeds ever

I was recommended these by my foot doctor as I have a plantar fibroma. I bought one for my hikers and one for my daily shoes. They work!

foot soles

They sure help, no pain under the heel and muscles don't tighten anymore.

Great upgrade to rubber boots

Great addition to my steel toe rubber boots. Spent a week using them and my foot ache is gone. Sizing seems to run a little bit larger than true size.

Leslie Firstbrook

Amazing footbeds

I have 6 pairs now and I put them in all of my important footwear: ski boots, hiking boots, firefighting boots, running shoes. The consistency from style to style is nice. They are also trim to fit if they are slightly to long or wide you can trim them to fit your shoe or boot perfectly. They are supportive, but not rigid. Your foot splays throughout your stride, so I prefer a supportive footbed that is a little soft. I have both the cork and the original and they are great! Will definitely continue to buy.

Best Insole Ever!

I had foot surgery 3 years ago and I will not wear any other insole. SOLE has saved me from foot pain.

Excellent footbeds!

Added these to my hiking shoes and ice skates - Foot Heaven! Highly recommend!

Gino Ciarmoli

Great product

Have foot issues and have tried several insoles, will say that these have been the best by far. Would definitely purchase again

Donna

Absolutely the Best Footbeds

I have worn these for years because they have a met pad. Without them I have so much foot pain I can barely walk. Thank you, SOLE!

mike curzon

great comfort

my foot was suffering from plantar fasciitis and these have greatly alleviated the pain

Julie Tome

My daughter loves these

I ordered these for myself - I took a chance, I never order footwear online because my feet are quite wide but they were so cute and good for plantar fasciitis and on sale. I tried them for a day and they squeezed my toes too much. Luckily my daughter has the same size foot as me lengthwise and she was happy to hear that they didn't fit me. She loves them! They have become her go-to footwear.

Best footbeds I’ve ever used.

I’ve been using SOLE footbeds for years, in my hiking boots and in my everyday walking shoes. They've helped my high arch problems and have provided excellent support resulting in more comfort and fewer foot pain. I’m hard on my shoes and put a lot of miles on them every month. SOLE footbeds are my go-to footbeds, and have performed better than my custom made ones for way less money. And they last a long time.

Help with plantar fasciitis

I’ve been wearing these for a few weeks. Last year I had plantar fasciitis in one foot and it took a long time to resolve. When the pain started in my other foot I ordered these. I follow Philip Carcia on Instagram and he had recommended them. I figured if a guy hiking all those miles liked them then they would be worth a try! I still need to do a lot of stretching to help with the pain but I find these help - they are very comfortable and feel good in my feet. I wear them in all my shoes (running, hiking, and casual wear). They fit great.

No more $400 orthotics for me!

I just received my second pair. Also bought the Thin ones. They totally support my arches and stop my foot from pronating. I didn’t need to adjust them at all.

Ideal footbeds

They fit in my vans and are super comfortable, cut them down to size 9 and heat molded in the oven. The deep heel cup keeps your foot where it should be. Digging these for sure.

Really efficient foot beds

A serious game changer if you are on your feet all day like me!

Feedback on Active Medium with Met Pad, Men's 11

Can't get the arch to feel right in the left food. Even w the met pad, still lots of pressure on the ball of my foot or the area right behind the toes.

Travis Isert

Shocking

I wasn’t sure what type of footbeds I would need. So I bought one with the met pad and one without. Everytime I put on my shoes with the met pad my mind is blown with the comfort and support that I didn’t know I needed. To support my foot up front is something that truly is they best thing I’ve experienced in a footbed.

Great foot beds

Great in mountaineering and ski boots.

Best foot beds on the market!!

I have been wearing these foot beds since it got too cold for my sandals. They continue to provide me with the perfect support and have eliminated all foot ankle and knee pains. A must to try before spending hundreds on orthotics that did nothing for me!

Really pleased

I've been using these insoles for a few weeks now in my work shoes. They're great! I'm on my feet for at least 8 hours every shift, with a lot of walking. No more foot or hip pain. I highly recommend them.

Good quality, firm support where needed

I am very athletic and have a very high arch, along with plantar fasciitis and rheumatoid arthritis. These footbeds provide firm support where needed. Haven't had any pain or cramping since I started using them. Highly recommend to anyone with foot pain to try these.

Ryan Roberts

Love these

Very comfortable in all shoes. May be different from the other soles, but still shape to my foot and provide great support. I use these in my casual shoes and have walked many miles in them.

JT Brumley

They should call these Keystones…

Keystones are the most import part of an arch, taking on a lot of the work from the other stones. If the bones in my feet are the other stones then these sandals are the keystones. After a long run I immediately take off my shoes and put these on and walk around. They definitely have reduced my foot soreness. The only downside to them is, well, it’s Winter now! But that doesn’t stop me from putting them on anyway and driving home wearing them. Great sandals for people who are on their feet or run frequently. Good value. They also last a long time.

Carrie

Great support!

I have been wearing SOLE insoles for years now to combat a neuroma in my foot . . . with great success. As a physical therapist, I have also recommended them to multiple clients who need better foot support.

Todd McKinnon

Terrific foot support!

I have "SOLE" inserts in most of my footwear/shoes. They have solved my arch/foot problems! I love the fit and comfort that "SOLE" products provide and I can again walk, hike and walk 18 holes of golf without pain or discomfort. I also love the variety of products available and I really like the value/cost of the "SOLE" products! I had previously tried many different arch support products but I am now sold on "SOLE"!

Best foot beds on the narket

We bought these for our son cause he has a bad arch, what a difference. He doesn’t complain about sore back or feet.

Best foots beds for the money

I’ve been wearing these in my work boots, these foot beds have stopped my back and knee pains while I’m at work for 12 hrs. I bought more and now have them in my hiking boots.

Right out of the box fit!

Best thing about these foot beds for high arch feet is they work straight out of the box. I’ve used them for well over 10 years and love them!!

amazing footbeds

the met pads make these foot beds perfectly comfortable

Performance Medium with Met Pad

I've used these for about a month and they really are very comfortable and I have no foot pain.

Cliff Brown

Greatly reduced my foot pain

I noticed that my big toe pain caused by walking eighteen holes was greatly reduced. My feet generally feel better. Strongly recommend this product!

Footbeds

I bought 2 pairs and so far they are doing what I needed! I have plantar fasciitis in my left foot and the footbed is helping me with my alignment along with stretching and exercises.

Real quality, unique design, subpar durability?

These were purchased to help with plantar fasciitis pain and right when I received them I knew they were different from any other insole I'd used before. These insoles have very prominent sections of padding that provide support to portions of your foot that would only be barely touched by most other mainstream insoles, especially along the arch and ball of foot. The design of these is very appealing and unique, and the cork material is very satisfying to the eyes and feet! I would definitely recommend these to people looking for more comfort or dealing with pain, as these really helped me. The only issue I have is that after about a week or two, the heel portion, which was initially nicely padded, of the insole compressed down to almost flat, leaving the heel mostly unprotected from impact. The cork material might contribute to this but I also tend to put extreme pressure on my heels. I got these on clearance but next time I'd go for the Active models as they're said to be more durable. But if you have even pressure distribution, definitely check these out!

Holly Bent

Excellent work shoe

I’ve been wearing these for years due to plantar fasciitis Great arch support No more foot pain thanks to my soles. Runs about 1/2 size small-normally wear 7.5 and the 8 fits perfectly

Good footbeds

I have a fallen arch and these have improved the pain in my foot.

Mitch Altman

Best Foot Beds Ever

I’ve been wearing orthotics for decades. Even had some made by Kieth Kleven who was the PT for all the major sports athletes, Shauquile, Tiger etc. I have to say, after my planter fasciitis that the SOLE foot beds are everything that Kieth would do and more. Kieth worked on me many years ago for my broken hip. The flip flops are equally amazing. When I get out of the pool, I always smile when I see what a great arch I have from my wet foot prints. I have recommended them to many of my friends and they love them as well.

So comfortable!

I felt pain relief and greater foot stability after installing these in my new shoes, which are wide width.

Very Nice!

I received a pair of the Performance Medium footbeds. Heated them to conform to my foot shape and put them in my worst fitting pair of boots. It was a pleasant surprise at how they changed the feel and comfort level of the boot. My feet are instantly warmer (which I believe is due to the insulating property of the cork), my standing posture is more natural and comfortable. I have been wearing them for two weeks now so durability is yet to be determined. So far so good! Nice job people!

Disappointed

First off, I would like to say that the company is a pleasure to work with. I reached out with questions first, and then returns later, and start to finish I was very pleased with customer service. With that said, the insoles were very much a let down. I have been on the hunt for a supportive insole with a deep heel cup to deal with pronation and posterior tibialis dysfunction. After much consideration I got three different models. My greatest disappointment is that although I do not wear a wide shoe, these ran very narrow, so that eliminated all three pairs immediately for me. My food spilled over the insole without even standing up--which significantly widens my foot, and I knew they would only give arch blisters and inadequate support. They were especially narrow through the arch area and heel, which is where the support for pronation is needed the most. And for someone who has tried many insoles, the heel cup was not as deep as I hoped The only noticeable difference between thin and thick model is about 2mm of extra cushion on the top and does not impact the volume of the insole in the shoe. I purchased all three pairs on a 50% off sale, which I was very glad about because there is not much insole to the insole and not worth the price tag, in my opinion. I have to say I would not recommend these if you have moderate to severe pronation and unless your foot is narrow, order the wide. The company has been a pleasure to work with, so I am sorry to write such a negative review, but it is honest.

Great foot support

A great insert for those shoes that lack support , I was easily able to walk long distances during my first use

Jerome Terry

Best foot beds for plantar fasciitis and comfort

Easy to custom fit, durable and the customer service is impeccable!

Perfect In Evey Way

Worked wonders for my foot pain. Since I started wearing them, my plantar fasciitis and metatarsal pain have been relieved. Thin insoles fit very nicely in low volume shoes.

Autumn S.

Comfortable

Really nice and soft but helps with foot pains

Excellent foot beds

I’ve been wearing SOLE footbeds for years. When I order a new pair of running shoes I automatically order a new pair of soles and have had no foot issues since I have been doing this.

Best foot beds I ever bought

I have been wearing these regularly. Very comfortable and my feet don’t feel any pain anymore

Great product

I now have Soles in every thickness available and with both the active and the performance beds. I even tried a pair with the met pad (not needed for my foot). the performance pair are my favourite for sure (but slightly less durable if you are switching them in and out of multiple pairs of shoes).

My feet love ‘em

These are high quality insoles with the metatarsal pad. I am very happy getting premium product at an excellent price. The moulding process, which is simple to do at home, gives you a footbed specifically fitted for your foot.

Great for injury prevention while running

I started using these insoles and my foot related injuries/soreness have completely gone away without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to my shoes.

Jen

Supportive comfortable

Really helped a metatarsal mid drop in my foot

Nicholas Billyeald

Incredibly comfortable

I was skeptical about buying sandals online but for the price (promo) I gave It a shot and am super happy. They're much more rigid than others I've bought resulting in more of a insole/shoe feel than a flimsy flip flop. I've suffered from plantar fasciitis and these have notable made a difference to improving foot pain/tiredness. I can actually wear these throughout the day whereas other brands would have my dogs barking within first hour! I'm a 12 and ordered a 12. 12.5 may of been better for me but hasn't affected product.

Life Changing!

I suffer from flat feet + general discomfort when walking for long periods of time. I knew I needed some sort of insole and better foot support but didn't want to spend $600 on customized ones. I'm so glad I found these! Alex was sooooooo helpful in finding the suitable insole for what I wanted and needed - they almost feel customized! I've been wearing them for a month now and I feel so much more comfortable. I want to buy some for every shoe that I own.

Robyn Horsager

Stops foot pain!

I put these in some flat canvas shoes and they made them so comfortable! Highly recommend!

They're the best

I have been wearing SOLE insoles for 2 years now. I'm 6 foot, 370 pounds walking on concrete all day. These are the best hands down they last all day and you don't go home hurting or barely walking.

Everyday comfort

Found them better then the Performance Medium foot beds for day to day. Will definitely get another set

No more foot pain

I’ve been wearing them for several years, and they were finally reaching the end of their life, so reordered them. Love, love love them

Kim Poitras

Perfect fit for All

Having not had foot issues in years past we were now faced with needing some extra support. The fit was great for myself, I used the "heat to fit" method for my husband ( found the instructions excellent & easy). We are both very happy with the support they are providing. We have also found it reassuring that the Podiatrist association has found these very well developed.

Maria Hoffmeyer

Still Loving These

I cannot imagine life without these after having them around now for almost a year. Walking around the house first thing in the am was soooo painful before I had these to ease my way into the day. They are also perfect for a rest from other shoes when my forefeet needs to spread out. I have a wide hyperflexible foot with a high (narrow girth) arch, dorsal bunions, Morton's neuroma and sometimes nerve entrapment.

Top quality at the right price

The foot beds I’ve used over the years for my work hiking boots have been long lasting. My recent purchases have been for other shoes. I’ve been very happy with the variety and availability to get them easily. Just invest in one pair and you’ll never buy anything but “SOLE”!

Garbage

Purchased two sets to try in my golf shoes to help with metatarsalgia but after following directions for heat setting ended up with foot bed falling apart after inserting into shoes.

Kristen Smith

My new favourites

My usual summer flip flops were giving me lots of foot pain this year. I was already ordering the SOLE footbeds so thought I’d try these out too. Super happy I did. Look great and feel great!

Susan Pederson

I have 5 pairs!

I have hip, back and foot issues and was told I couldn't ever wear flip flops again! I sure showed them! These give me the stability I need while still having a pretty look.

Todd Coles

Top quality flips

The support these flips provide is unlike any others I have ever tried. I can actually wear these without worrying about foot pain afterwards like the typical flip.

Derek M

Great insoles

I’ve developed a foot problem and proper insoles, like SOLE brand, have helped

Best footbeds

I have been wearing SOLE for now 4 years exclusively after having a series of foot pains. The best pair of footbeds you can buy and rely on

Very impressed

I tried various off-the-shelf insoles to deal with ball of foot pain usually experienced when playing sports. I must say that the "Active with the met pad" model by SOLE has been the most effective for me in relieving pain and discomfort. I've worn these now for the past several weeks and the insoles seem to have molded well to the shape and contour of my feet and are very comfortable. Very satisfied!

Good quality

The quality is great, they keep their shape and help significantly with my foot discomfort.

Best Insoles Ever

Used these for weeks at work and loved them. Relieved foot and back pain.

Eugene Cosma

Over meldable-I used it to Ski

10 Years + Super high arch, fits my foot configuration. Super comfy. Materials stay the same after so much use, I’ll buy again.

Dennis Blanchard

Support the Arch

I’ve worn all the rest. To the beach, the public shower and to take the trash out. That’s because they were never anything more than a layer between my feet and the surface I was walking on. On the other hand(foot) SOLE Balboa Flips have stayed on my feet because of the arch support comfort, fit along with how they enhance my cadence. I’m Soled!

Michael

Good Arch Support

These shoes help with the pain from scar tissue near the arch of my foot. They are very comfortable to walk in and didn't take a long time to break in. I also like the color and style.

Ken Davidson

Fantastic Foot Beds

I have had a problem with plantar fasciitis this year - got a pair of these and wear them in the house and now I don't have the problem... YAH!

Carrie Lynn

Excellent Support

I have ordered multiple pairs of these sandals. I wear them all the time because of their excellent foot support.

Foot pain?

I purchased these because I have neck pain from an old injury. I can't walk more than a 10 minutes without stopping from pain and headaches, but since I found these I can finally keep up with my wife shopping the Mall all day.

JQ

BEST footbeds EVER!

I've been wearing SOLE footbeds and flipflops for 15+ years and have had ZERO foot pain ever since my first pair! (Waaayyy better than my $400 orthotics!!!) I have these in all my shoes: work (5+ hrs, in an industrial kitchen on cement floor), everyday shoes & dress shoes. Thank you, SOLE, for saving me from a lifetime of foot pain (plantar fasciitis)!!

Clyde Pence

Different but still comfortable

Love the leather look and feel these feel great, except the blister they rubbed initially on the back of my foot. I have a pair of the wool version that did not do this and I still like these. I just wear thicker socks now.

Great

I stand on my feet all day everyday for work, and these have been so helpful. My foot pain has gone away. Very comfy, highly recommend

Used for years- they are the Best!

My husband introduced me to these 14 years ago when we first got married and I have worn them ever since. They give my foot the support they need and I slip some of them between one pair of shoes And another pair. I really like the thin Footbed that fits into my loafers.

Maria Hoffmeyer

My Only Flip

I have been wearing Balboa since fall of 2021 when I was searching for relief for my painful feet. I have multiple things going on - hallux rigidus, Morton's foot, high arch, hyperflexible foot and nerve entrapment. These flips allow me to walk around when I first get up without pain.....without excruciating pain. I don't wear them for hours as I need more support, but these have just the right contour and cushion for the first segment of my day. Sooo grateful to SOLE for this product as well as the insoles.

Dave Moreau

Excellent foot beds

I’ve bought several pairs of SOLE footbeds for all my footwear and love them!

Melissa Morrison

Super comfy flip

As comfy as all SOLE flips but the straps are a little more casual and loose on the foot.

Hope Kuo

Goldilocks Flip Flop

I have tried a least a dozen other flip flips/sport sandals to find some that didn’t cause pain to my back and legs after walking and standing. This was it! I have had lumbar surgeries and my back, legs and moderately arched foot are just cranky with the wrong support. I’ve sworn loyalty to SOLE inserts in my athletic shoes for years and don’t know why it took me so long to realize they also made flip flops. I put this on and it was perfection right away - not too hard, not too soft, arch placement was supportive but not aggressive and the straps were soft yet keep the shoe right in place. I have since purchased the Baja (slightly harder sole, very stable) and Monterey cork (firmer yet) but the Catalina is my favorite for putting on in the morning and wearing all day.

Best footed ever

My wife has been wearing them for work and they reduce foot pain a lot.

Neuroma relief!

I have worn SOLE sport flips for years. Upon exercising for a 5k (and not having exercised in years) I strained my foot and developed Morton’s neuroma. I purchased a pair of the SOLE inserts with the metatarsal pad and after about 1-2 months my neuroma disappeared.

W.W

Malibu vs. Laguna

I have 3 Laguna (2 purchased online, 1 from a retailer). This was my first pair of Malibu, which was from an online purchase. All my SOLE shoes have been purchased in size W8. I have narrow, high instep feet. I find my Malibu fit better than the Laguna I usually wear. Malibu's straps haven't stretched as much as the Laguna (Which fit me amazingly when new, but turn sloppy due to stretching, with wear). If you have a thicker foot, you may like the Laguna better as a fit. I still would purchase the Laguna, I just feel that if I have a choice I will stick with the Malibu; as it fits my type of foot better.

David

Comfortable, supportive and light weight!

Having had lots of foot issues, (plantar fasciitis mostly), flip flops are not generally a good match for my feet. Most of them on the market have no support in the food bed. However, SOLE flip flops offer a comfortable, supportive foot bed that allows my feet to do their job without any pain or issues. They are very lightweight and comfortable to walk in. The straps don't give me blisters either. To make them perfect for me, they would have a more durable outsole on them, however, I guess that might take away from their light weight.

Diana

Love these!!

These are the only sandals I’ve bought that do not flare up my foot condition. Well made and well supported.

Sole is always great, but those Met Pads are magical

I have been wearing SOLE for years as the only inserts that can support my high arches, but only recently did I buy the type with Met Pads, not really knowing what they are. They are amazing. I still don't know what they do, other than put support in a spot that makes my foot feel great during and after a run.

Greatest Foot beds ever

I have been using SOLE footbeds for weeks and they make my feet feel so much better. At the end of a long day on my feet I have no pain like I did before I tried them!!!

Best foot beds ever

My husband couldn’t walk far without them. Best ever! Thanks!

Dean

Changed my life

My foot pain is completely gone. I wear SOLE products in every shoe I own and I’ve never been disappointed. Canadian company with amazing shipping. If you’re thinking about it, just get some. You’ll be happy!!!

Who knew

I’ve been buying SOLE products for over 5 years on the recommendation of my foot guy. Footbeds, slides, shoes, boots,,,, but who knew that they have the best socks ever??!! I’ve tried many dual layer socks but these are the softest I’ve worn. The only problem is that they’re so popular that they are sold out!!! Keep them coming SOLE!!!

Monica Turcotte

Best Ever!

My foot doctor recommend I try SOLE flip flops. What a great recommendation. I started with one pair January 2022 and now on five pairs. They’re awesome and whenever I feel I need to clean them up I toss them in the washing machine and they come out good as new

Excellent Product

I've worn my SOLE insoles for about two weeks. After a few days, I noticed no foot pain or aching. I have no specific injury or pain, just aching. My feet feel good at all times. Very good product, and very comfortable.

The best flip flop

Flip flops are generally trash for those of us with plantar fasciitis. Not so this one. The footbed is supportive and grippy; the outsole is durable and grippy. You are not going to lose your footing in this flip flop unless you try to run long-distance in it. It has an aggressive footbed that emphasizes support and may feel slightly short; order true to size. After wearing a few times, I found the position was natural and in some ways superior to my Birkenstock Arizonas (specifically less sliding).

Alexander Ignatiev

A unique take on the flip flop

This is not a casual flip flop. This is an aggressively supportive flip flop with a high level of comfort, suitable to wear for hours at a time with no fatigue. My wife enjoys the supportive footbed and the durable, grippy rubber sole. Foot positioning is not like that of any other flip flop. True to size, your foot feels almost like it's hanging off the back. But after wearing it a few times, that feeling goes away. My wife is a cosmetologist and spends every working day on her feet for at least ten hours. This flip is a good one for her to wear at work, or in the garden.

SOLE insoles

Excellent value . Bought for my husband who constantly complained foot knee and hip pains. He says his feet no longer hurt at days end and he is able to walk again in evenings. Very comfortable and excellent fit

Absolutely love these footbeds

I have been wearing SOLE insoles for 8 years since my foot surgery & they have been my saving grace. I can’t imagine not having them.

Foot and ankle savers

I was limping in my walking shoes. I went to Reno Orthopedic Clinic and got a shot of cortisone and the recommended SOLE inserts. I could feel the difference immediately. I bought new shoes and another pair of soles. I replaced all my shoes new shoes and bought new soles for each pair. Now when I buy a pair of shoes I order a new pair of soles.

MARC COUGLE

Great Flip

Love this flip flop. After just a few wears the cork molds to your foot well. Great for just around the house, the beach or casual dinner out.

SOLE Medium

I have been wearing the medium performance insoles for several years now. I am on my feet about 14 hours a day at work and walk about 12 to 18,000 steps on an average work day carrying tons of weight. These are the best insoles I have ever owned I now have them in my tennis shoes too. They last a long time and don't seem to get worn out very quickly like other shoe insoles. But I do rotate them daily. I cannot work without them. I have a high arch and plantar fasciitis and have zero foot pain with these inserts. I love them.

The best insoles ever!

This insole with met pad has saved my feet when wearing my Rykas. They are in my exercise shoes, and while I no longer jump as high or run, my feet are supported and without pain. The met pad has been the key. All my shoes, whether for exercising, walking or just everyday wear have Soles. Soooo much better than what I got from the foot doctor!

Shannon Kaufmann

Fits great

I love this flip. It fits to the form of my foot and is very comfortable. Yes I will order it again

Shawn Kline

Very comfortable, supportive flip flop

I ordered the Malibu flip flops in navy and have been wearing them since mid-July. This is my first pair of SOLE flip flops with the cork footbed. I find them to be very comfortable, like all the other SOLE products I have. The cork has worn away a little bit around the ball of my foot, but that hasn't made them any less comfortable. I do put a lot of pressure on the ball of my foot, so I expected this type of wear. I have 3 pair of flip flops, a pair of shoes and numerous insoles from SOLE and I'm happy with all of them. I would definitely recommend SOLE to anyone who needs good, supportive footwear.

Maria

Necessary Flip

I bought these last fall as I was working my way out of a bad nerve entrapment issue causing pain in my heel that stopped me from walking, SOLE insoles have been very important and time on these Balboa Flips is essential, especially first thing in the morning. I have a high arch. These fit perfectly and give just the right amount of support and cushion to get my foot used to the transition into the day, I hope that this sandal will still be represented in the new line up! Thank you SOLE for getting me back on my feet!

great insole

I had foot surgery and didn't need my custom orthotics anymore. My physical therapist helping me with foot rehab recommended these insoles for cushioning and some support. They have served my feet well. They have helped get me back out on the trails. My feet are happy.

Tabitha Donkers

great

They are great! This is my second pair because I tend to think a good pair of sandals can replace trail shoes for light hiking...and these ones can. I live near a beach with lots of sharp rocks and barnacles. They hold up in the water and keep me from slipping on the rocks. They don't stink like other sandals do. They were a tad tight and uncomfortable for the first few days but shaped to my foot really fast.

Worked Great

These insoles worked as advertised, my foot pain diminished after about a week.

Michelle Corriveau

Amazing Fit

I originally purchased this product on the recommendation of my podiatrist to assist with planter fasciitis and it has been a game changer for me. The Costa Flip has allowed me to continue wearing flip flops during the summer while providing the support my foot needs. They have worked so well that I have purchased them in other colours so I have options for my various summer outfits.

Happie Tootsies

My order was shipped promptly and as soon as I fitted the SOLE insoles to my shoes, my feet are much less painful and I am much happier: I could not recommend any product higher. If you need support I hope you find the fit and comfort that I have with SOLE insoles: I now have 3 pair distributed between my riding/walking shoes and hiking boots. Cheers and I hope each of you reading this can achieve more miles with more smiles from such quality foot support .

Foot pain relief

I was suffering from Morton's Neuroma for years & finally decided to go see a podiatrist. They suggested I try SOLE footbeds before anything else. Wow, what a difference in my day to day! I love them! I even got a second pair & recommended them a few times already.

Helpful to reduce my foot pain due to nerve issues.

I think these have been helpful for sure, especially in my running and cycling shoes. I really like the idea of the cork footbeds, but I’m not sure they will keep their shape as well over time, and perhaps that met pad will disappear. It would almost be a good idea to reinforce that area so it cannot collapse in the future, perhaps with a removable piece in case the met pad becomes bothersome. I may try some of the standard non cork met pad Sole insoles.

Eliminates foot pain

Got these to help with my metatarsalgia, and they have worked wonders! I wear can hike all day now without any pain. Would recommend!

Work Great in Runners

I had tried the medium version of these in my runners but found that my foot was just too packed in for it to be comfortable. (This will depend on your particular foot in your particular shoe - someone else's experience may be quite different). I have been using the thin version now for a few weeks and my feet are happy. The insole is of typical high quality for SOLE products and the fit is true to the information on the SOLE website for my Asics runners.

Bob Gerwer

2nd pair

I'm so flat-footed that I could step on a dime while barefoot and burn my insole. But, I do like to wear sandals, and these fill the bill for arch support. My 1st pair lasted almost 5 years (wow!). The re-purposed cork is an environmental plus.

I have happy feet again!

My foot pain is gone. I purchased this product for my low profile sneakers and casual shoes. I already own SOLE insoles for my sport runners for jogging. They just didn't fit my other shoes for work (retail). I gave these insoles a chance and they didn't disappoint. I have been wearing them everyday for approx a month now. I am impressed with the cushion from the cork.

Great Foot Support!

This insole is a great foot support! Have them in my workshoes and feet feel really good! Will definitely buy another pair!

Sharon Parker

Fashion and function

These are my third pair of sandals and once again they are beautiful and very comfortable. Helps greatly with plantar fasciitis and I highly recommend them for alleviating foot pain.

The Best Insole ever

I have worn this medium product before and it wears great especially if you follow the instructions of putting in the oven a short time and then having it mold to your foot . I buy new insoles every time i buy need sneakers .I have yet to find an insole that fits my fancy shoes a low pump . I recommend this insole to all people who are on their feet most of the work day

Penny Perry

Best ever!!

I cant say enough how great thes flips are for my foot pain! They did what $600 in orthotics failed to do! Customer service is outstanding! They are quick to sort out any problems that may come up, and make ordering so simple! Gold Star rating

Derek G Musey

Not all sandals are the same

I have peripheral neuropathy and it is a terrible problem with so many unpleasant symptoms revolving in & out through the day. SOLE sandals are a great choice for me since my feet prefer an orthotic style sandal. I have a pair for outside and a pair for inside. Highly recommend if you have any type of foot problem. Thank you SOLE!

Ann

Flips :)

These are my hang out in the sun flips. I suffer from plantar fasciitis. When I wear these flips my feet don't hurt like other flips. The cork feels great on the foot. Great flips worth every penny!

Sarah e guenette

Great practical flip flop

I needed flip flops due to falling arches and wanted something simple and not too clunky. I couldn't wear 'flat' ones anymore. It took about a week for them to break in, but now they help tremendously and don't look like typical orthotic foot wear.

Love them

Got them earlier this year & using them in my running shoes. I walk quite a bit & they are very comfortable. I need the met pad and the pain in my foot has subsided because of these insoles. I have a wide foot size 6 1/2 & ordered a size 7. They fit perfectly. I will buy them again.

Cathie Bordon

Narrow fit

Love the footbeds in these flips! They are ideal for me with the met pad. They do fit a narrower foot, so if you have a medium to wide foot, opt for a different style.

Melissa Prasad

Fantastic

I suffer on and off with planters fasciitis. I need the extra support for my foot, but in the summer I want a shoe that will keep my feet cool. These are perfect. They fit great, and are so comfortable.

I love it

I love the met pad active! I suffer from knee injuries, plantar fatigue and back pain. I've been using SOLE for several years now they are a game changer! I can walk my dogs with more confidence and less pain. I love them so much, I have them in all my shoes and boots. I also have metatarsal foot pain and the met pad really helps that. I used to use those sticky pads and never could get them adjusted right, the sole with met pad is perfect for me! Thank you so much for easing my pain.

Active Medium

These insoles are well made & durable .I tried them for a month. They fit my foot well but I need more cushioning for all day use. Perhaps the "Active Thick" would be better for my heel & arch pain..? I have considered this but the cost of upsizing my shoes to accommodate the insole is not attractive.

What's Not to Like?

These were recommended by my podiatrist. They are easy to slip into my shoes and provide comfortable support. I've been wearing these for about a year now. No more foot problems or trips to the doctor and my back feels much better as well. I now own 3 pair, all different, and always have a pair in my shoes. They wash easily and dry very fast. These are rock solid and will last!

Laura

Dream Come Shoe

Perfect house shoe. Will not absorb sweat. My feet are in great shape, and wearing these will keep them that way. The red ones are cute/casual, and I like to sneak the black ones into more formal looks. I purchased my first of 3 pairs at the beginning of spring, almost 3 months ago. The Baja flips were significantly easier for me to break in than the Catalina Sport flip (which hugged tighter to the top of my foot for longer). I sized up for my first pair, and they weren't comfortable until the 2nd day. When I sized down, it took a few days.

Squeaky

Very comfortable, but the cork was really squeaky and it drew a lot of strange looks as I walked by. It was my first time trying the cork insole, and I will go back to my normal insole. I also noticed the cork had an unusual scent to it after being worn. Again, my other SOLE insoles did not have this issue. I personally did not care for the cork, but my foot was comfortable.

Straighten Up Those Ankles

My new Asolo walking shoes almost fit my very narrow feet. But when I realized that my ankles and feet were rotating inward, I tried some SOLE Active Medium footbeds. But they were too thick. So I ordered a pair of SOLE Active Thin footbeds. The heat fit formed these to my feet, but kept the arch high. My ankles and feet are straight again, and my shoes fit so much better. I've walked many miles in them over the last six weeks both over rough terrain and on concrete paths with no foot pain. If these Thin footbeds are as tough as their thicker siblings (and I think they are), they should last for years.

Fantastic product and service!

I bought these on the advice of my foot specialist who suggested I use them while waiting 2 weeks for my expensive orthotics. (I needed the arch support.) They came quickly, fit my running shoes perfectly and provide great support. They are a good width but I wish they came in a narrow version for my flats. (They can be trimmed but…) Customer service was quick and helpful when I had a couple of questions. If you need arch support I highly recommend these. I bought all 3 thicknesses for various shoes..

These Really Work

I had the painful condition of PTTD (acquired fallen arches). I needed very major and specific support for my feet. I had heard about this product on a podiatry blog and decided to try it. I followed the instructions on heat molding, creating the future shape that my foot required to return to functioning. I could feel the relief on the very first walk with them. I showed them to my podiatrist, who gave her full approval to the shaping. They are lightweight, cushy, yet offer amazing support. I bought several more pairs to have them in all my shoes. If you need more support than you get from standard inserts, these are for you. If you need a custom made orthotic, you may want to try these first. They really work. Now several months later, my foot is no longer painful and I am back to running - shorter distances this time. Very satisfied customer.

You should try it -

I have used SOLE products for 11 years - I use the Active Thick Met Pads because the ball of right foot needs a little extra protection - I use them mostly in New Balance model 608 9.5 4E width. I got the SOLE men's size 10 and it fit the shoe without having to trim the pad. I wear them in slowly instead of doing the oven method.

Great for hiking and yard work

I've been using the Performance Medium with Met Pad soles for about two months now. I wanted something for my hiking boots to help eliminate blisters and provide better support for my feet overall. So far, I have only good things to say! The soles for my boots perfectly and quickly molded to my feet. I broke them in by wearing my hiking boots for yard work and I haven't gotten a blister yet. Foot health is definitely something worth investing in and the sustainable materials of the product elevate it in the market, in my opinion. Definitely recommend.

Susan H Smith

Happy Feet!

I discovered your company while recovering from my latest foot surgery a couple months ago, and have already ordered 3 different styles of sandals, the Catalina being my favourite. A metatarsil pad in my shoes is a "must", and your sandals are a true blessing. Thanks so much!

Excellent products!

I use SOLE products exclusively and have for the last several years. I don’t have any foot problems anymore and they make my shoes more comfortable. I am a fireman and sometimes am in my shoes 18 hours. I also have them in my Fire boots as well.

Very satisfied with Active Thick insole

I've now tried 3 insoles and my preferred is Active Thick without Met pad. Better to order the larger size and it's easy to trim it down to fit perfectly. Relieves foot pain for outdoor work boots.

Best insole I've found

I'm on my 3rd pair of SOLE Active Wides & they're definitely the best insoles I've come across. I run 30 miles a week, mostly on the road, at paces from 5:30-8:30/mile. I wear Altras for both road & trail, and I use one pair of these insoles for every 2 pairs of shoes. The Good: A problem I've always had with running footwear is compression in the ball of the foot leading to weirdness in my stride or lots of discomfort over time. These insoles are so dense that the above compression isn't an issue. I'm putting 400-500 miles on each pair of shoes (800-1000 miles per pair of insoles) now without any stride-altering compression in either the shoe midsole or the insole itself. I'm considering using them for a 3rd pair of shoes actually, because after 1000 miles the biggest sign of wear is discoloration where my foot contacts the insole, rather than deterioration of the insole itself. The Bad: They're really hard. If you like a cushy running shoe experience this is NOT that. But if you're looking for a great springboard to push off of mile after mile after mile, these are your insoles. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic Relief and Comfort

I am an older retired male who hikes almost daily in the local hills and mountains near Vancouver, BC. I was finding the one foot in particular was becoming progressively more painful and required icing after my hikes. It was getting to the point where I was starting to wonder if my hiking and backpacking days were coming to an end. I can't say enough about the SOLE Active Thick insert with the built in met pad. Over the past 2 months my condition has dramatically improved and continues to do so the more I use this product. I also purchased a second set for another pair of shoes as well as the flip flop sandal with the met pad so that my foot is supported even when I am not hiking. I am now looking forward to a coming summer filled with a number of multi-day backpacking trips in the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver Island. Thanks for providing such a brilliant product line.

Kimberly A Kelsey

Impressed with the cork footbed!

I was really impressed with how the cork foot bed formed quickly to my foot and how comfortable they became. I chose the Monterey because it seemed a bit dressier and I wanted a comfortable and nice looking sandal for evenings out and the like. I do not recommend these for longer walks, while the footbed is extremely comfortable, the strap doesn't have any forgiveness and caused a blister, but my bad for not changing shoes first! I will definitely explore some of the other options they offer to find a sportier sandal, overall very impressed with these.

Perfect insert

I have been using SOLE inserts for many years. They really help with my plantar fasciitis. I used to use the fully cushioned ones, but switched to using the thin (Active Thin) version in conjunction with foam cushioned insoles from the store. I actually put the store insoles over the Active Thins on the opposite foot. Putting them opposite places the high arch of the cushioned insoles to the outside of my foot giving support across the whole front of my heel, not just the inside. Took a day or two to get used to, but it works great in preventing the fasciitis.

Adam Sherlock

Flippy Floppies

I have been searching for a while for a flip flop with good arch support. For years I’ve dealt with foot and knee pain from having flat flip flops. I was excited to come across these when I bought insoles. These are comfortable to wear, my feet don’t slip around when wet and they have good traction on wet ground. The only setback would be the hard plastic piece that goes between your toes, that might be more comfortable if it was fabric. But it was only the start of the season and my callous hadn’t formed yet. I would definitely buy these again. Thanks

Huge difference

I have been wearing SOLE for years. My doctor recommended them for me because I was having a lot of pain in my foot (arches). When it came time to replace my old pair I was able to purchase them online. Which was much easier than trying to get an appt at the doctors office lately.

Robert Sillery

Great product

The Monterey flip fits well, and I love the cork sole. It is very comfortable and helps with my foot problem. It is much better than the regular black rubber. I hope you continually produce them. I had a similar pair a few years ago. When they wore out, I could not find replacements. These new ones fit the bill. Thank you

Exponential Improvement

I can't believe how much difference these Active Thins w Met pad have made. Huge improvement in hip pain. History of injuries, twice broken right heel, never did knit back together properly, the arch dropped and basically the whole foot changed shape and function, been awful. Affected the entire right leg. The SOLE insert is the only one since 2007 that's given me any relief and stabilized my foot. It allows me to have a normal heel to toe roll on the bad foot. Used the size chart to order correct size women 10 and fit is perfect .

Learning to walk again

Three months ago I had spinal surgery (a laminectomy for L-2 to L-5). This was followed by physical therapy to correct foot drop, parasthesia and weakness to both legs. Among numerous defects in my gait, flat feet and pronation was especially problematic. My therapist recommended SOLE inserts. The inserts have dramatically improved my balance and posture.

great product

This product was recommended to me by my sports medicine physician. It has delivered a great experience all around, mitigating foot pain due to a neuroma and keeping me on the right track to good foot health. Thank you.

Michael Gionet

Highly Recommended

I got these sandals because I was experiencing discomfort and tightness in my feet and calves at the end of the day. After a couple weeks of wearing these sandals, the discomfort and tightness has been significantly reduced. The soles of my feet felt comfortable since day 1 of wearing these sandals, but it took about a week for the tops of my feet to feel comfortable. At first, the straps/pads that go over the tops of my feet were very uncomfortable, but that goes away completely after the sandals have been worn in a little. Suggestion for improvement: Change the Velcro on the adjustment straps of the sandals to have the "hooks" on the strap (i.e., facing downward) and have the "loops" on the pad that goes over the top of the foot (i.e. facing upward). Currently, because the "hooks" part of the Velcro face up, they are always exposed when the Velcro adjustment straps are loosened. This means that the "hooks" are available to pick up lint, hair, and other debris and get the sandal caught on carpet.

Virginia Abraham

Orthopedic comfort & support

I found these after two purchases of insoles. Love the eco-materials but needed help with sore feet! Dealing with multiple foot issues- Morton's Neuroma, Ingrown big toenail, Spring gardening rush after being on my feet in home healthcare a long time. These allow no-pressure on the sore foot forefront, and cushion for working without having to deal with water in shoes! I even brought them to work. Now looking for a sandal with a back so I never slip out of it!

Great Product

This is a great product. I use them in my hiking boots and they are very comfortable. I struggled with foot problems before using SOLE insoles. They have allowed me to return to normal activity and I am enjoying hiking again. Thanks for a great product.

pain no more

These insoles eliminated the foot pain I experience while cycling from Morton's Neuroma. I highly recommend these for anyone else suffering from foot pain.

Pain Free

Sometimes a product comes along that just changes the way you view a product. I have tried many different shoe inserts to help with pain in my feet and I have never found anything that totally stops pain in my feet the way that the SOLE inserts do. These inserts made me wonder if I was in my 20s again. If you have ever had foot problems and need to feel pain free from your shoes I would encourage anyone to give these inserts a try. I am not one who usually gets on the band wagon touting a product but these inserts are the closest thing to forgetting about foot pain I have ever experienced. MAGIC.

Rebecca Bailey

Amazing

These are by far the most comfy flips I have ever owned and they don't hurt my feet. Was suffering from planter fasciitis, that is now a thing of the past with these shoes and several of their insoles in every other shoe I own. Its comfort for my feet from now on. My foot is wide as well and the flexible bands on these are perfect. Tried the Balboa but sadly don't fit my wideness.

Rebecca Bailey

Not for wide feet

I purchased a pair of Costa flips and LOVED them so much. The straps are flexible so they move with you. I then purchased the Balboa and the straps are not flexible and unfortunately don't fit my wide foot. Better to go with the Costa if you have wider feet like me. Too bad cause I love these products. Also love the insoles. I have purchased several sets for all of my family. Great products for comfort and the environment.

Awesome inserts

I have used SOLE inserts for many years, mostly in my running shoes. Recently I had a bad case of plantar fasciitis and decided to order some inserts for all of my shoes with the MET pad. Glad I did, they work really well and my foot problem has gone! Highly recommended!

Awesome - Helped heal a foot injury

I got these at the recommendation from my physio because of a foot injury due to over-walking (ridiculous injury.. I know). I couldn’t get my feet to heal for months until I got these to help with support when I’m on my feet. Could not recommend more.

Thank You SOLE for giving me my life back

I have numerous issues with my feet. Ball of the foot pain, heel pain and bad arches. I had tried many different products in the past with very limited results. Then I discovered the SOLE products. Instantly after inserting these into my shoes I got some relief. As the insole wore in some more, they got more and more comfortable. I was never able to spend many hours on my feet before getting the SOLE product. This product allows me to function again! I was so pleased with the results that I ordered some more for spares, as I now know that I can't survive without them!

Made a difference

Had weight bearing episodic pain in ball of foot in proximal third metatarsal joint. The Thick met pad Sole reduced the pain when used with a wide toe box shoe. Can't notice a difference from heat shaping the pad as instructed.

Dominic Borres

Comfortable Sandals

I’ve been using these since April 2, 2022 and find the sandals are comfortable to use despite bunions on my feet. These wear-moldable, water-friendly sandals made of Bloom Algae Foam makes it light and the surface feels good on the feet. The cushioning is sufficient plus the padded microfiber strap is super comfortable. As advertised, the METATARSAL SUPPORT PAD relieves pain and pressure in the ball of the foot by lifting toe bones into natural alignment.

Jennifer LVolpe

Perfectly comfortable

I love this flip!! The past several years I have looked for quality in a flip flop to usher in Spring. This is my main slide on, kick back, be able to do light walking anywhere…. I have been wearing SOLE flips on and off for the last 2 weeks and highly recommend them. Instantly comfortable, shaped for the sole of a foot and well made. They also seem like they will last the season and not stretch and get loose.

These are great!

I’ve been using these for a couple years. I’ve always needed shoes with extra support but hadn’t found the right inserts. I had some pretty significant foot and ankle pain a couple years ago and saw a podiatrist who recommended these. These help a lot with my pronation, yay

Always Impressed

I have used SOLE products for the last 5 years and have always been impressed with the product. I used to wear orthotics, my Physio recommended SOLE and I've never gone back. I have recommended this product to friends and family who also have enjoyed ending foot pain. Every pair of shoes I wear has SOLE insoles

Finally, relief from foot pain!

I am one of the numerous sufferers of peripheral neuropathy. For years I have endured foot pain that has taken me from an active runner to rarely going for walks because of constant foot pain. I prefer to stay clear of the pharmaceutical pain relief strategy, and decided to try a set of SOLE footbeds. Not sure which product to purchase, I used the SOLE Product Guide to determine which product was best for my condition. Sure enough, the Active Medium with Met Pad was suggested. I purchased the product and it was delivered to my home in just a few days. Following instructions on how to form the footbed to my foot shape, I set the footbeds in the oven at low temperature for a few minutes. Next, I placed each footbed into a pair of my shoes, put the shoes on and waited for the material to conform to my personal foot shape. Skip forward two months, and I can say that after years of foot pain, I am much relieved. Not only can I now go back to long pain free walks, but I have more energy, because I am not in constant pain. These soles are great. The Actives with Metpads easily transfer from one pair of shoes into another. Now that I am satisfied with how well they work, I plan to order another pair for my runners. Relief is a great thing!

Jo Flower

Still Happy!

I started using SOLE insoles when I started having foot problems from lack of arch support at least 10 years ago. They have been 5 star the whole time, relieved all my pain. I have worn SOLE sandals as well and they worked great for me. I highly recommend SOLE products and have been in my shoe repair shop as well as sharing them with friends and family. Thank you SOLE!

indispensable

I use these insoles in all my shoes: runners, boots, dress shoes because since I've been using them for at least 4 years, my Nortons neuroma has not bothered me. Metatarsal pads in your shoe inserts and removable metatarsal pads can also offload the ball of your foot where you are having pain. They are comfortable & I use a variety of thicknesses depending on the shoe and activity.

Best fit best value EVER!

I have been wearing these in ALL my shoes for 5 years. I have 6 pair that stay in each set of shoes. Dress shoes, hunting and fishing boots and cross training shoes. These SOLE inserts have saved me from years of aggravated foot pain. They fit my foot and shoe size perfectly. They are comfortable - I have had custom made inserts from other companies, made for much more money (thousands $$), and they didn't work and they weren't comfortable or durable. I tried these out of desperation and now I wouldn't leave the house without them. Thank you! SOLE!

Comfortable insoles

This review is on the "Performance Wide Thick" I also bought the Active ones, but I haven't used them yet. I suffer from lower back pain (sciatica). This pain hit me pretty hard. I see doctors about my lower back. That's all they are focused on: my lower back. I started to think about my childhood and how I needed arch support in my shoes. Knowing general construction and basic biology, a improper foundation leads to a poor construction relying on that foundation. I started looking at arch support inserts. Most are just a heel cup with a partial sole. The ones that were a full footbed were gel or memory foam as padding. Gel leave your foot in it's own sweat. That creates foot rot. Foam collects the sweat and grows bacteria. I came across a "SOLE" ad online. It caught my interest. I started to read these reviews on most of the different styles to order from. I did the fitting questionnaire to find what I might be looking for. I ordered both that came up being that they have the return policy also they are both different materials. When I received them I looked at both and felt the cork ones would be more cushion. I work on my feet 6-8 hours straight per shift. I heated the cork ones in the over per instructions and I haven't looked back. It's been a couple months now and from day one of wearing them my back pain has subsided. I still need surgery on my back, but I believe with these "SOLE" inserts I'll have a better foundation to help strengthen my frame during healing. Yes I would recommend these inserts to those looking for comfort and support. Also those looking for lower back pain relief. I wear a whole size in shoes so I just order that size of inserts. They fit my shoe like it belongs. Nice bed for my foot to sit on. The cork is very comfortable they seem to form to your foot and hold it in your shoe.

Great for snowboard boots

I bought these specifically for my snowboard boots after my old foot beds were making my feet hurt incredibly bad. My issue with the old foot beds was lack of arch support, despite buying ones that matched my arch perfectly. However, when I snowboarded the beds would push down and provide zero support. That's when I did some research and found out about SOLE, and bought a pair online. They took a little getting used to but I could immediately tell that my issue with arch support was gone. The SOLE foot beds kept their form and relieved the pain that I had dealt with before. Great product for snowboard boots

Nice looking Sandle

I have feet that lean inward and when wearing flip flop's I was a little worried that it would get worse. The sandal is made of cork and is comfortable once you get use to the position your foot is in as it is correcting the foot. It fits true to size and is made very well! I really like this sandal.

Great Product

From working from home as a result of covid-19, I was in slippers all the time and my feet were not getting the support they needed. As I walked with my husband he noticed how bad my foot leaned to the inside and I realized that my right knee especially was sore all the time. I realized I needed to get an insole that could help me correct the problem. That's when I ran across SOLE. I really like the thin insole as it fits into any shoe. It offers amazing support and is comfortable to wear. I have been wearing them them for several months and they are still are holding their shape beautifully!

All about the forefoot

From a tiny functional foot clinic serving Yukon Territory and northern BC, SOLE Active Medium is the only insole recommended. Recently purchased 5 pairs to have on hand for clients. Bonus dollars will directly benefit remote harder to reach clients. :) I no longer wear the product - which is a good thing b/c my foot, with the assistance of SOLE, is now barefoot. I like SOLE b/c it helps people's feet, lower limb, pelvis and lower back regain function after years of foot binding. SOLE provides the heal cup, active arch support and the vital forefoot needed for people to regain mobility while comfortably supported. Specific injuries and pain I recommend SOLE treat are the forefoot - which is stabilized when the heel, in the heel cup of the SOLE anchors the foot allowing the forefoot (metatarsals) to regain their beautiful full function - all the way to the tips of each straight toe - which is why I often recommend the wide.

Thank Goodness!

I'm a martial artist, training and teaching karate and I'm an acupuncturist in private practice. I'd suffered an ankle injury years ago, which was acting up and affecting my knee and lower back and foot beds from the physio therapist were going to cost $400. It was then someone told me about SOLE Footbeds. When my first pair of Active Medium with Met Pad footbeds arrived in their slim, environment conscious packaging, I got them in my shoes and I immediately felt relief and comfort. It took just days for all my pain to disappear! Now I recommend them to all my patients with back or lower extremity joint pain and I wear them in all my shoes. It's been about a year now that I've been wearing the footbeds and I'll keep wearing them forever.

LOVE THESE FLIP FLOPS!

This is my fourth pair of SOLE Sport Flip Flops. They have great arch support and hug the foot snugly. I am able to walk long distances in them while travelling where my previous footwear would cause the arthritis in my hips/knee to flare up. I stand on my feet all day for work and I wear these as they provide shock absorption on the hard ceramic floors. Highly recommend!

Giveaway Review

-I bought the product because I have had flat feet my whole life and would like to avoid any issues with pain down the road as I get older. -2 Months Daily -I like how the sole forms around the foot and offers daily support -The sole fits perfectly around my large feet -I think the materials used were combined for a perfect design -The sole is very comfortable!

Great flips!

I wear a 7.5 shoe normally. Went with 7 in these flips and they fit like a glove. Foot comfort is excellent. I've been wearing around the house (winter) but look forward to some spring/summer outdoor wear soon.

Ball of Foot pain

Bought these insoles to see if they would help with pain in toes and ball of foot. They have helped a great deal and have now purchased three pairs to keep in different shoes. They are comfortable and fit perfect in my shoes.

Relieves foot pain

My podiatrist recommended these insoles and they help with foot pain . I need to get more for the rest of my shoes as currently I am just using them in my hiking boots. I wore deck shoes today without the insole and my feet really hurt!

Ok

I like that it can be molded to my foot, the only issue & the reason I stopped wearing my insoles was because the heel was not wide enough.

Foot pain is gone

I purchased these insoles several weeks ago after having significant foot pain for many months. The discomfort when walking was gone after one week of wearing these insoles. I have purchased two more pairs for my other shoes as well.

Worth it!

These are worth every penny. I used to run the Active versions in my military boots which really changed my life. I didn’t know anything about flat foot or plantar fasciitis back then. I have had issues my entire life with shoes. With these, I no longer have issues just walking. The Thin version is perfect for my dress shoes and some sneakers. It really depends on your shoe design what you want between the low profile and medium. Some might cry about them being hard, but you need to break them in. I run with these Thin soles and they feel perfectly fine. I have invested in a few different soles just for convenience to not constantly change them out of my shoes. Invest in yourself!

Solved my foot pain

I’ve been using SOLE footbeds for a few years now for pain related to over-pronation. Recently I began to have pain on the ball of my right foot. After doing some research I discovered that this was likely due to metatarsalgia. I decide to look to SOLE for help and found these Performance footbeds with built-in metatarsal support. I’ve begun using them regularly and my pain has disappeared. I’ll continue to buy the footbeds with Met Pads from now on.

Life-changing insoles

I've always had a problem with foot pain wearing shoes, ever since I was young; I just thought it was normal to have aching feet after spending a day in shoes. Sneakers, flip-flops, dress shoes, boots, it didn't matter; everything hurt. When a shoe sales person at The Right Shoe in Vancouver suggested in 2016 that I try SOLE footbeds, I was skeptical because I didn't really believe they could help. She told me to trust her, that they had a return policy if I wasn't satisfied, and that she thought the "aggressive arch support" design would really help my tired, aching feet. So I listened to her and got a pair of Active Thicks for my Bluntstones and I was converted overnight. Those Bluntstones went from being those cool boots that I really liked but always avoided because of fatigue and pain, to becoming my daily shoes. No pain or fatigue, even after hours and hours of walking in them, day after day! Transformative and life-changing. I went back and got a pair Active Thins for my Cons too, and when I started spending more time in dress shoes, I got some for those as well. Now, every single pair of shoes and boots that I own has a pair of SOLE footbeds in them—Thursdays, AEs, Clarks, Vessis, chukkas—and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love that SOLE is designed locally (I'm in Vancouver, BC); I love their company philosophy of reduced environmental impact, carbon negativity, wine cork recycling (I make and bottle my own wine too, so it's a real plus for me), planting trees, giving to charities, donating to the needy, and social and ecological responsibility in general; I love the fit and the design; I love love love the comfort. They literally transform any pair of shoes from being totally insane torture devices into comfortable, meaningful footwear that reasonable people can actually wear, walk around, and stand in. Amazing! I mean, what's the point of even wearing footwear if it makes your feet worse and causes pain? And why did it take so long for me to discover SOLE? Seriously. Just get them. Thank you, SOLE, for making my foot life pain-free! I will always be grateful, and I will always have your footbeds in my shoes!

Amazing !!!

I have had two different SOLW products. Both have been amazing and have helped me tremendously. The first was before foot surgery and without it I would not have been able to work the way that I did. After surgery I did not need as much support and they had something for that as well. The met pad is a life changer and it fits perfectly to my foot even without heating in the oven to form it. I will have to have insoles for the rest of my life and this will definitely be the place I will get all future insoles for myself and family!

Extremely Helpful!

I had been dealing with foot pain for quite some time and tried a few products but the problem was never truly resolved. Then I heard about SOLE from the Darkhorse podcast and I have faith in their endorsements so I went for it! It was a great call. I have been using the footbeds for several weeks now and the results are very noticeable. The foot pain is basically gone and I'm on my feet for hours at a time. Also, they're very easy to transfer from shoe to shoe. Highly recommend!

Best inserts EVER!

I started with one pair of these, you know they're pricey so I wanted to make sure...Well, I made sure and I've ordered more because they are great and I need them for each pair of shoes that I have! I am flat footed and pronate, I have spent 10x this much on inserts that don't work or don't last. These are totally worth it, do yourself a favor and get them now!

Great Product

My wife and I are both using the Medium with met pad and they really help with foot pain. We normally walk 4 miles a day and found that SOLE has helped with eliminating foot pain. We are wanting to try the Thick next.

Just buy them!!!!

My son has plantar fascitis and could hardly walk after practice. We have tried many different insoles and finally tried these. I can honestly say that these were the only ones that worked. With in a week he could go to practice without foot pain afterwards. We are getting ready to order him more for his other shoes!!!! He wears a size 8 basketball shor and the size 8 insoles fit perfectly with out trimming. They do not slide around and he has zero complaints!!!! Trust me.....we have tried them all and these are the only ones to help him.

No more evening foot rubs

I am impressed by my SOLE inserts. My husband bought them for me because he saw how sore my feet were after my 12 hour shifts. I really felt a difference in how my feet felt. They were not as sore and the fatigue I felt in the arch seems to have gone away. I would recommend this product as would my husband who does not have to hear me complaining after each shift.

Pain relief at an affordable price

It was a foot doctor who told me I had flat feet and the same doctor that told me about SOLE footbeds. I was looking at cortisone injections for bursitis in my left hip and within 2 weeks of wearing the inserts, all the pain went away! When I stopped wearing them the pain came back. I started wearing them again and the pain went away. Why I stopped it beyond me, and I cannot live without these! I also used to switch them between shoes but it doesn't always work as they mold to the shape of not only the foot but the shoe as well. So I just bought 3 pairs for my new runners and a spare to tuck away.

Great FIt!

Really love these insoles. The Met Pad is a nice addition and adds a nice "bump" in the middle of the pad that supports the padding of my foot. Super durable and super form fitting. Great value!

No more ankle pain when snowboarding

I was getting horrible ankle pain in my front foot while snowboarding and my trainer told me it was because of my flat feet. The SOLE thin beds fit in my boots perfectly and now I ride all day with no pain!’

Great fit for high arches!

I bought this product after I realized the old orthotics in my shoes had caused my foot to have plantar fasciitis. The SOLE inserts have been a significant part of my recovery and I will definitely be able to keep running now! The custom fit that you are able to do was great and my foot doctor didn’t even require me to get custom orthotics!

COMFORTABLE SLIDE SLIPPERS

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE COMFORTABLE SLIDE SLIPPERS. I WAS TOLD BY MY DOCTOR TO WEAR AN ARCH SLIPPERS, AND WHEN I ORDERED IN INSOLES, I SAW THE SLIPPERS OFFERED, I ORDERED AND IT HAS BEEN MY ONLY SLIPPERS I WEAR. VERY COMFORTABLE AND HELPED MY FOOT PAINS

HIGHLY RECOMMEND INSOLES

HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. CURED MY ACHING FOOT PAIN

Decreases my foot knee and back pain!

I have been using SOLE supports for years,because they help control my pronation and plantar fasciitis. In turn my knee and back pain are reduced by 80% and 40% respectfully. They keep me active and I can't thank you enough.

Changed Everything!

Great purchase! They fit well in my shoes and eased my foot pains. They are very comfortable and significantly decreased my flair-ups with plantar fasciitis.

Too Thick

Wanted more support in my running shoe and this footbed was highly recommended by several sources and the footbed finder suggested the Active Medium. I found this footbed to be too thick and it raised my foot too much and caused a lot of rubbing around my heel and I couldn't get my shoes to fit comfortably any more. I swapped to the cork thin footbed and it helped a lot.

Great insoles. Super customer service.

My Podiatrist recommended SOLE orthotic inserts. He said they were as good as the custom ones his office could order. He knew the price and told me which model to order. He also told me to not go barefoot. He said SOLE had a flip flop with the orthotic built in if the inserts worked. I ordered just the inserts at first. They came within 3 days They were easy to adjust to. I have been wearing them for 2 months. It seems to be correcting my foot issues. So I ordered another pair of inserts and the flip flops. They took longer to arrive. I emailed the company about the order. They responded right away. I am very satisfied.

No SOLE means no foot comfort!

I have been using the SOLE Active Medium w/ Met Pad for years. I have always been extremely satisfied with this product. I did venture "off course" and tried the ReCORK prior to my latest purchase and, while comfortable, they were noisy (squeeky), so I returned to the Met Pad and 100% satisfaction!

Love this product

I wish I knew about these sooner! I can run long distances again without any discomfort on the bottom of my foot.

Love my Soles

I have been wearing my soles for a month or so. I have them in my Ugg boots and sneakers. I'm on my feet all day at work and they really help. The soles are so comfortable, I love how they mold to your foot and the arch helps so much... If I could afford it I would buy the soles for every shoe I own.

Awesome insoles!

This was my first purchase of SOLE insoles. I heard about this company by doing a Google search for ski boot insoles for metatarsal foot pain. I've been suffering from foot pain in the balls of my feet for a number of years and my ski boots exacerbate the pain. I've tried other insoles in my boots which has helped a bit, but I still experience some pain after a day of skiing. I purchased these insoles prior to this year's ski season and so far, they have helped tremendously! I just returned from a 4-day ski vacation, which normally would cause a lot of foot pain, and I was so impressed with how comfortable these insoles are in my ski boots and that I was able to ski for multiple days in a row with hardly any discomfort. I plan on purchasing another pair of insoles for my street shoes as even regular shoes cause discomfort when walking.

Great orthrotic

I hurt my foot a couple of months ago and couldn't find an orthotic that was tolerable. SOLE provides great support without being too hard or soft. I have tried everything from $5 gel inserts to $100+ orthotics and I must say that these are noticeably better than anything I've used in the past.

LOVE SOLE

Love SOLE inserts. So comfortable and easy to fit. I am extremely flat footed and used to have to spend $ 800 for lift but my doctor recommended SOLE inserts, I love them and no longer have back or knee pain.

Great insoles. Super customer service.

My Podiatrist recommended SOLE orthotic inserts. He said they were as good as the custom ones his office could order. He knew the price and told me which model to order. He also told me to not go barefoot. He said SOLE had a flip flop with the orthotic built in if the inserts worked. I ordered just the inserts at first. They came within 3 days They were easy to adjust to. I have been wearing them for 2 months. It seems to be correcting my foot issues. So I ordered another pair of inserts and the flip flops. They took longer to arrive. I emailed the company about the order. They responded right away. I am very satisfied.

Great Insoles!

I'm always looking for insoles for my boots. I have high arches, narrow heels, and am prone to plantar fasciitis. I have spent a lot of money on custom insoles throughout the years for my boots, with mixed results. I have been very pleased with these insoles. These fit the boots well, size wise. I have purchased them in thick, medium and thin thicknesses to accommodate different sock thicknesses for warm to cold seasons. I use these in my mil spec boots, my hunting boots, and my hiking boots. I haven't had much luck with heating them to form to my foot faster, but I just break them in with a few miles walking, and they seem to form to my feet pretty quick. These are new for me, so I can't speak for durability yet. Very pleased with them so far. Get some!

Solved some issues

Have been wearing these for several months and has resolved some Met pain issues in my foot. Comfortable and fit well in hiking boots that I have with almost no trimming and adjustment. Would like to see different Met levels. Could use a bit more Met padding for me personally. All in all, a good investment for foot comfort.

Leonard Siau

Firm, supportive yet comfortable

I have been a SOLE product user for 10+ years. Recently bought a couple of new pairs. Me and my wife love them. I think they really help with my asymmetrical foot pronation and reduce my neckpain. They are made with quality materials, comfortable to wear and most importantly orthopaedic grade as I prefer good stability and support.

Ahhhhh!

I have loved SOLE Flips for over 13 years. I first began using their footbeds a short time later. I just found their Active Wide Thins last year. They fit beautifully inside of my Keen summer and winter shoes. The are comfortable right out of the box. Of course heating them and fitting them to my foot is even better. My whole family of five is now using them.

Cork feels great!

I had a torn tendon in my foot. My podiatrist prescribed me orthotics which were too aggressive and hurt my foot. I researched inserts and realized that cork, a more natural element, would give my feet support but yet give some "give" for the natural walking movement. I decided to try SOLE and I am very pleased. They are thin, give support and the "give" I need to keep my tendons flexible.

SOLE is the best product for your feet

Starting from the beginning, about five years ago I got plantar faciitis on both my feet. Having to deal with the pain while working on feet for 8 hours a day was rough. Almost a year later I found SOLE products through a foot specialist. My life changed and I was cured of this issue within 6 months of using your insoles and sandals every time I was on my feet. Now with these clog style shoes I use for work everyday I feel confident my feet will never have any issues ever again. I highly recommend SOLE to anyone who works on their feet for any length of time. These shoes are made with high quality materials, the pair of sandals I wear only when I'm home I've wearing for 6 years and it's still in great shape. Extremely comfortable and fit very well.

Cycling Insoles

If you’re looking for an insole for cycling shoes the Performance Thin with met pad is your answer. These fit great in several different pairs of shoes without taking up a lot of volume. I have noticed a significant reduction in ankle/ foot soreness during long rides over the winter. The lightweight cork is great to keep the weight down as race season approaches. Every level of cyclist should own a pair of these!

Works great for Mortons Neuroma and tendonitis

The Active Wide Medium insoles have helped me with Morton's Neuroma and foot tendonitis a lot. Even before I did physical therapy, which cemented my recovery and as soon as I put these in my sneakers or shoes my foot felt much better. With the therapy and Soles my foot issues are practically gone. I use these insoles for everyday walking, running, and extremely challenging hiking in Drakensberg.

Claire Kunigonis

Comfortable and supportive

I bought the Men's District by ReCORK for my grandson who requires orthotics due to extra-wide, flat feet. He absolutely loves the shoes. He doesn't have to have any additional support structures with the built-in footbeds. The contemporary style gives him the opportunity to have support without the obvious "orthotic shoe" look. Unlike previous shoes we've tried, he hasn't experienced any foot pain or fatigue during long wear use. I'm very happy with the quality, value, and durability of these shoes.

Christopher Galka

Great Soles!

Very comfortable shoes! Despite what seems like a lack of padding in the foot bed it’s shape and contour maximizes the natural padding of your feet.. I have one fallen arch and one that’s not so bad, but they’re comfortable and both of my feet with no additional insole. The fit is a little snug, but I prefer that, you may go a 1/2 size up if you like your shoes a little loose.

Great for all day

I have been using the thick foot beds for at least three years. I am a big guy and my feet would get tired and sore by the end of the day. Before I started using this SOLE product, I would frequently have issues with plantar fasciitis. Now, going for a two mile walk is no problem. My feet are not sore the next day. I have a couple pair of these. They are easy to get them into my shoes and to conform to my feet. Also, I know this might revoke my man card but, I even have a pair in my house shoes.

Amazing footbeds!

I'm blown away how great these footbeds are and they have exceeded my expectations. Way better then any you will find in the shoe stores. I'm using a pair of Active Thin insoles in my Wolverine 1000 mile boots and my 8 year old boots are now oh so dreamy to walk around in and feel brand new again! I have a fairly narrow foot and medium high arches. I lean towards going barefoot a lot ( I do a lot of yoga) and actually love the arch support which has become more subtle after the break in period. these soles get better the more I wear them so do give a bit to break them in properly.

My feet are smiling now

I recently visited the podiatrist 3 weeks in a row for a pain in my left foot right at the heel. They tried inserts, shots, wraps helped a little. But I was kind of shuffling around and not walking the 6 to miles daily as I had in the past. On the last visit one of the young ladies who assisted in my various treatments told me I should check out your website and buy the "Active Thick" version of their insert. I did and I was immediately better. I was so pleased I ordered a pair of your shoes and I am very pleased with them also. I am back to walking 6 to 8 miles per day with no pain. Thanks

Not quite wide enough

Good insoles with good durable arch support, but, for a wide version, I would I've liked them to be wider in the midfoot where the arch is. My foot is going a little bit over the arch so the side of the insole digs in it. The width of the forefoot is however very appreciated.

Best I've found hands down.

I've been wearing these for a month or two now in my work boots, and a pair in my big rubber boots. I'm size 15 almost 16 and these are one of the few arch supports I can wear that actually fits my foot size. These last about a year or so with constant daily usage around the farm. Much easier to get used to than the hard inserts, and I have no arch pain since I started using them years ago when they were made for Redwing. I can't live without them. Does take about two weeks to get your arches used to some real support though, and if your arches are shot, wear them for an hour a day for the first week. Once I got used to them, my arch pain stopped and my knee pain got significantly better.

Red Sole inserts

I have used SOLE products for about 4 years . They were recommended by a foot doctor. I usually purchase the black SOLE inserts. The shop where I purchased them closed so I used the online site and did the online help for selection . It recommended the red SOLE Inserts because I have pain in the ball of my foot and need arch support. I've been wearing the red inserts for about 2 weeks and they do help with arch support and metatarsal pain. Since I do most of my walking in my neighborhood sidewalks & streets, sometimes I wish I had the added cushioning of the black inserts.

First Time Buyer

I was recommended this brand by my podiatrist. Bought these (my first insole purchase from any company) for the first time, put them in my hikers, and instantly foot pain receded. Every day there was less and less foot pain. until I have not had any problems now for months. I will be a lifetime user for sure!

Better than the old plastic soles!

I was a long time user of SOLE inserts for correction of over pronation associated with flat feet. They have made a huge difference for me as far as foot pain and allowed me to walk and jog comfortably for years. I was so excited to discover the they now have a recycled cork product - it's such a great model to have people return their wine corks to stores for re-use. I find that the new ReCORK soles feel springier and more comfortable that the old soles that I relied upon. I have been using them in my Saucony running shoes for 2 months now and they feel great. I wear size 8 1/2 or 39 shoes and found that the size 7/9 insert fit perfectly without trimming. I hope that more companies will follow this model of using recycled materials to create an excellent product.

Out on walks again

My husband has had foot pain for about 2 years now and it just stopped us from going on our walks. Although he still has some pain, the Active Medium soles have allowed him to get back to walking. He has a pair in both of his shoes and will definitely get more as needed. These slipped into his shoes perfectly after the heat up. After standing in them for the few minutes required to form he knew right away these were going to work. Comfortable enough he could wear them all day. No issues of any kind

Active hunter.

I have been using SOLE insoles for about 5 years now. I used to spend hundreds on orthotics. I liked them so much that when I purchased a pair of winter hikers I wanted a pair for them. I purchased the medium thickness as the thicker ones fit a bit tight. They are a perfect fit and give me the familiar support I need for my high arches. I would recommend them to any one with foot problems.

Highly recommended

Really helped for pronation & knee misalignment. It’s all connected, so great for my low back pain as well. I have wide foot & high arch, the Thin insoles are ideal for most of my shoes & run true to size. I love that the heel is NOT elevated which can be common in other brands. It’s wonderfully comfy & I really appreciate SOLE getting on board with Eco friendly materials.

Nishtha C. Sanghani

SOLE is the best footbed brand

I have been SOLE customer for 15 years I am also a physical therapist and not only use SOLE myself but also recommend to my family and patients. The arch support and the level of comfort helps with any routine walks, runs, work outs, long standing activities and makes it all less painful. I have recommended SOLE to patients with knock knees, pes planus, plantar fasciitis, foot pain and also knee pain and back pain. They are very comfortable and not to forget, durable too.

Great Insoles

I had a foot issue and was awaiting an appointment to get an orthotic made. Since the pain was increasing and I had an upcoming backpack trip, I needed something for the interim period that might alleviate this pain when hiking. I took a chance on some SOLE Active Medium inserts and couldn't be more pleased. When I showed them to my Podiatrist, she was very impressed and told me to continue using them until the orthotics were made. Well, eventually the orthotics arrived, felt extremely uncomfortable, had to be modified several times, and eventually were abandoned. I have since bought 5 pairs of SOLE insoles over the past year and couldn't be happier. They have eliminated my foot pain, are super comfortable, and are very affordable when compared to custom orthotics.

Nice

Purchased these insoles (size 11 U.S. fit is exact), because my $200 pair of Asics AWL size 11 US, were causing extreme pain to my Achilles tendon. I needed a winter shoe and although the shoe fit great at the store when I purchased them, they certainly didn't after the first 10km. I was forced to go up a half size with my shoes because my right toe was feeling cramped. Decided to purchase both the Active Medium and Thick, because I wasn't sure which would be enough to fill in the extra room in my shoe and possibly elevate my foot to keep the back of the shoe from touching the upper rear portion of my foot. Ran 100 km in the Active Medium and my feet started to feel great after the first 20km, almost instantly (I didn't heat fit them to my feet). After 100km, I decide to try the Active Thick and they filled the extra space in the shoe that was needed and elevated my foot ever so slightly. First impression was a full shoe and feeling like I was 1 inch taller. At first, when I put in either insole, they felt lumpy. After about 20km, they tend to mold to your feet and feel very natural. You can, of course, heat treat them to fit, but I wasn't sure I was going to keep them, so I decided to try them, out of the package. I do get Achilles pain once in a while, but this is probably due to my running technique and not the insoles. I use my Active Medium Soles in my summer runners (Mizuno Wave Sky Waveknit 3 in size 10.5 U.S.), which fit me perfect before inserting the Soles and fit snug after installing. 450km now and still great. I'm sure my shoes will wear out before these Soles will; they will be going in my next pair of Asics AWLs. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Initially I found them to be expensive, now not so much because they work.

Goalie Skates

Returning to the ice after COVID, I was suddenly dealing with constant foot pain every time I put my skates on and I tried different things. I’ve been using Medium SOLE inserts in my field hockey turf boots for about 10 years and started wearing a pair in my everyday shoes about two years ago. I decided to try out the Thin, hoping they would fit comfortably in my goalie skates. With the added foot pain in the sole and forefoot, I also tried the met pad for the first time which only took a little getting used to. The Thin soles fit just fine in my skates and have definitely helped the foot pain. I do remove them after every ice time so the skates dry properly and the rivets don’t rust, which is the only issue as it’s a tight fit around the heel and arch, so it can be a little hard to remove them. I worry a bit that the friction will speed up the wear on the skate liner and/or the insole. I’m trying to figure out an easier way to pull it out with a tab or something, but the pros definitely out way that one con.

Love them x5-6!!!

I have flat feet and the insoles gave me the support that I needed. I initially purchased one pair and now I have purchased approximately 5-6 pairs in 2 years. Once I wear a pair out (3-4 months) I slide in a new pair. They fit great with minimal cutting. I also love that my foot does not slide around in my shoe.

Mortons

I have been diagnosed with Mortons neuroma on my right foot. My chiropractor has the same issue and recommended your insoles with the met pad. It has kept me from having the surgery to sever the nerve on my fourth toe. I wear them 24/7 and it has been miraculous. They are holding up well and are easy to slip in and out.

Heather Gould-Hawke

Bought for work

I have a wide foot and have difficulty with finding work clogs. I been wearing them for several months they are comfortable, the material strength is great and easy to form with the foot. I will purchase another pair in future.

Saved me from years of pain

Highly recommend the SOLE products. After years of off and on pain on my left foot, a friend recommended SOLE to me and I decided to give it a shot. After only a week of using the Active Mediums, my pain went away. I’ve now been a loyal customer for three years and I have been pain free for three years :)

Susan Scown

I even use these in my clog slippers

I had developed uncomfortable nerve tingling in the side of one foot beneath the ankle. My podiatrist said I needed to use insoles with support for high arches virtually all the time. I started using SOLE Softec Response insoles not only in my sneakers and boots when I'm outdoors but also in my clog slippers (which fit snugly at the arch with room in the toe box) when I'm at home. The Softec Response insole cover material is comfortable and durable, and the insoles support my feet/arches well and comfortably. They appear to be very well made and look like they will last a long time. After about a month of wearing these insoles, the nerve discomfort went away. I have now been wearing them for three months, and the relief has held up. The SOLE Softec Response insole sizes match my footwear sizes. They have the roomy toe boxes I need for my broad forefeet yet hold my narrow heels in place. I'm going to keep buying the Softec Response soles and wearing them pretty much all the time. What a relief!

My Happiness!

I have used SOLE products for a long time. 7-8 Years with one bottom line: COMFORT without PAIN! I have had foot issues since I was 50 years old ! SOLE was the answer! If you are having any foot pain is good for anyone who is approaching a painful problem with one's feet! Best move I have made for my overall health

These are WONDERFUL!!

I broke my foot many years ago. Years of pain and problems lead me to try the SOLE inserts and FINALLY, I am free of foot, leg and back pain. Thanks to SOLE inserts, I can walk and hike for miles and I'm back to a normal life. I have these soles in all of my shoes and because they're so comfortable, I have purchased them for my family as well. THANK YOU SOLE!!

Great addition to cycling shoes

Put these in my Sidi road shoes. Thin enough to fit well, and a huge improvement in arch support over the stock units. Had to buy a larger size to ensure the arch support fell in the correct spot on my foot, which necessitated a fair bit of trimming to have them fit my shoes. Luckily I could try them on in a local shop, otherwise that trial and error would have been a pain. They’ve been brilliant ever since. Improved stability, power transfer, and no more hot spots or numb toes on longer rides.

Softec Casual

Looking for an insole with arch support. Surface area is very comfortable and moulds to the shape of my foot. Very light materials so they don't add appreciable weight. Highly recommend and will purchase again.

Aussie boots fixed

I had recently replaced my 'Australian' work boots and found them to be painfully uncomfortable compared with my old pair. Assuming that they just needed to be broken in, I bore with it for months. I'd hoped my 12h+ work shifts would break them in and back to the feeling of my old pair. Didn't happen. Nor did trying the old footbeds from my previous boots. I ordered the SOLE footbeds with the most cushioning and the met pad. Had a moment of regret thinking the met pad would be a mistake but a rep coached me to keep the order as is. Essentially the SOLE footbeds have fixed the misery caused by my work boots. I no longer have foot and hip pain from my long shifts. It's been maybe a month now and I'm loving them. Only slight issue is that now my feet are a bit snug against the uppers. A quick tap at the heel moves my toes off the steel toe cap and it's fine. These footbeds have taken away my workboot pains.

Great product

I purchased these for my pre-teen son, his feet grow so quickly that this is a great cost effective way to provide him with the support that his growing feet need. They have been great and offer support to his high arches! The fit his shoes great and have really help to relieve his foot pain.

Will keep buying them

I’ve got a bunion on one foot and bad ankle on the other. After purchasing these soles years ago, the conditions finally became manageable. I have them in every pair of shoes. Pain free walking is a gift that you owe yourself!

Excellent Product

As someone who occasionally suffered from foot pain, I needed a more sustainable solution than prescription orthotics that need routine replacement at a very high price. While perhaps not as precise in foot correction as a customized orthotic, the SOLE Active Medium was a perfect solution for me. A very reasonable price for an excellent product by an outstanding, thoughtful company. I can highly recommend these insoles for anyone needing greater support or an alternative to overpriced orthotics. They resolved my foot pain issues and I'm a happy customer for life.

Perfect for flat foot

I have flat feet and this footbed helped me to reduce the pain while wearing for long periods of time. I recommend this footbed as it has microbial and warm wool properties as well as the arch support.

❤️ SOLE

I ordered the Active Thin for my casual flat Bobs and they fit perfectly! I have metatarsalgia in my right foot and without my SOLE footbeds I can't wear them. I have been using SOLE products since early this past summer and have recently gave a gift of slides to my dad for planter fasciitis and he loves them.

Fixed my feet

I was a little skeptical for the price, but I was pleasantly surprised. My arches were collapsed from years of flat insoles, so my feet were pretty sore the first couple times I used these. But after a week or so, the pain went away and my feet straightened out. I now can walk and stand for hours without foot pain.

Stacy L Sloan

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I can not write enough good things about my SOLE sandals! They are so comfortable and I no longer have back pain when I wear them. I actually love the men's sandals more but only because the straps are a bit looser than the women's and my foot isn't wide but more rounded on the top. I even have my family buying them and loving them! :)

Flat foot insert

This was a replacement. I am not sure it was the exact one I had before but my flat foot is not hurting so I am happy with it. It fits in my shoe correctly.

LINDA MAILLOUX

I wear them all year long!

I just love your sandals. I have gotten my 4 sisters to wear them too. I'm flat footed and used to wear orthotic sandals that were very limited in design. I just LOVE my SOLEs! I think I have been wearing them for about 7 years or so. I use to only buy 1 new pair a year. I use them like slippers during the winter. Great support and love the new colours. I wear a 9 and they always fit just right.

Joyce Burrell

Women’s Mendocino slide support

Very comfortable fit. Purchased to help relieve foot and lower back pain. Works great, full support sandals that are adjustable. Thank you SOLE for your support!

Every Pair of Shoes

I have a very high arches, arthritis in my feet and a tendency to get plantar fasciitis. I have to wear innersoles in my shoes all the time. I have used SOLE for years. They give me the best support and prevent any foot pain. Grateful.

Great Insole

I have been using inserts for decades. I have low arches. I have tried MANY different products including $500 custom orthotics. I am also a runner. 20-25 miles per week. Expensive customs wear out. Not unlike any other. It can become a money drain. Off the shelf insoles from various suppliers are very generic. Too spongy, not light weight, not enough arch support and wear out quickly. A friend passed along to me a recommendation from his podiatrist. "SOLE" insoles. I looked over a lot of info from the SOLE website as well as from other sources and decided to try the SOLE Active Medium. SOLE provides a wide variety of insoles, as well as other products, to suit MANY different needs and foot and body designs. This alone separates SOLE from other offerings. It is also very obvious that they have done their due diligence on R&D and have included some very smart and experienced people into the works to develop products for a wide dynamic of people and purposes. I have low arches and a knee that has had cartilage repair and a torn stretched to useless ACL. (Skiing injuries from my youth). The soles obviously won't repair these things but provide support and alignment that allow me to run comfortably and vigorously without pain. I bought my first pair, used them for about 2 months and then bought another pair. All total I have been on them for about 5 months now. I also played Hockey for decades. Skate providers went away from traditional leather outer shells quite a few years ago and adopted moldable outer shells. You warm up the skate in an oven, quickly put them on, lace them up tight and the skate adopts the shape of your foot. Providing a very custom fit. It took a minute but once I got used to them I fell in love with the technology. The EVA base in the Active Mediums is very much similar. I did not put them in the oven I just put them in my shoe and wore them to shape. It took running on them about 10 times until they formed to fit. This wear in period was a bit uncomfortable in the beginning but since then they have been awesome... Now they fit great and are beyond comfortable. They are super supportive, lightweight, and I can trust them to be perfectly in place with every stride. I love the product, I love the price point. Customer service has been excellent. I am absolutely a SOLE customer for life. You might think that I am just a shill for SOLE who is being somehow compensated. I assure you that I am NOT. I'm a very satisfied customer who is simply illustrating my experience with their product. This is a product that I truly need and very much appreciate. I am 61 years old. A life long athlete. This product allows me to continue to enjoy training and competitive athletics... Priceless.... Thank you SOLE

Great support

I have very high arches, narrow feet and plantar fasciitis. I gave been told I am high risk for collapsed arches, told that's very painful, and have been going to physiotherapy for foot and related knee pain. Custom orthotics were quoted at $300 with Insurance only covering maximum 50%. I thought I'd give these a try first! I did not heat fit them as I was worried about getting it right, instead choosing to fit them by wearing. First few days were an eye opener, my toes clenched and I was uncomfortable wearing them for long periods if time. 2-3 hours at once was enough. I am on my feet, running after kids all day at work so I needed more support than drugstore insoles. After wearing them for a week my feet felt so much better at the end of the day! I really needed the extra arch support and my feet have relaxed, no more toe clenching! I will be getting another set for my ski boots and anticipate a much more comfortable downhill ski season this year. 100% would recommend trying these before getting expensive orthotics if you have high arches.

Made a huge difference

I had tried every non surgical / non drug solution for my planter fasciitis without success. I tried SOLE fully expecting it to not to make much of a difference but I was surprised. SOLE has reduced my foot pain by at least 75%. I would say that is a huge win. I was disappointed that the mediums wouldn't work in some of my shoes and so I ordered some thins and the problem is solved. I am totally pleased with my experience with SOLE

Renée Lesage

A very good buy

I bought from SOLE because I needed orthopedic mule for a problem I have with a foot for many years. The product fits my criteria : shoe support point, comfortable to wear every day at home. My previous pair lasted 2 years. Very good buy that I recommend.

Foot saver!

I have suffered for a year with plantar fasciitis, and wasn't aware of these inserts until my daughter suggested I give them a try. What a relief! The support they give has remedied my pain and I can now walk distances never considered prior. I am in process of now ordering inserts for all my footwear, they are a lifesaver!

Game changer

I have genetic flat feet. I'm 44, and have lived the "strenuous life." Very active - hiker, power lifter, stone mason, former Marine. Over the last 4 years I've developed pttd, and over the last 5 months it's gotten very painful. As someone who can usually physically do whatever I want, having to avoid simple things like stairs has been very difficult physically and mentally. I have tried lace up ankle wrap braces, custom rigid orthotics that cost 1000.00 dollars, special shoes, and been religious about foot strengthening- they all sort of work, but there's always some pain. I have routinely been told "otc" orthotics aren't effective. Regardless on a whim I bought a pair of SOLE insoles, and after I put them in my gym shoes -INSTANTLY - the pain went away almost completely. I bought a second pair for my Danner hiking/work boots, with the same result. I can't wrap my brain around how there can be such an immediate dramatic change, but running up and down my stairs without a second thought or wincing in pain is absolutely amazing. I haven't worn them long, but they seem durable. I hope they hold up, though for this level of regained mobility, I'd buy a new pair every month if I had to. My hope is, as they are clearly relieving the strain on my tibial tendon and over pronation, over time with continued wear and foot strengthening I can reverse some of the damage done.

Amazing foot bed

I've been using this product for 2 years. I started having sore feet and legs.. tried everything until I came across these footbeds. So I jumped in and I will never go back.. amazing. Gave me relief. I just need more for every shoe.

Life-changing

Before using these inserts, my feet hurt every day, all day long. After a few days of using these inserts, I have zero foot pain. Truly life-changing.

Good Footbed

The SOLE Active Thick was comfortable from the 1st moment I slid my foot into my boot. It has remained comfortable. The cork helps keep feet cooler working on hot pavement. I purchased them for more support, and they deliver.

Del Mar Sport Flip

The flip has a metatarsal cushion which definitely improves my comfort. I experienced pain in the metatarsal area of my foot and the flip resolves this issue.

Comfortable with support

I got these for my work boots and regular shoes. They are both comfortable and supportive. The met pad also adds some extra cushion mid foot area

Best slippers

I have previously used Superfeet, and custom orthotics. I tried SOLE, and found that they are as good or better than even the customs. As I am into my 50's, my arches have fallen, and my feet hurt. Occasional bouts of plantar fasciitis also cause me grief. I have put SOLEs in most of my shoes/boots. Depending on the fit of the boot, I have used thin to thick SOLEs with great success, and even improved fit. I also bought "slippers", the SOLE flip flops that I wear in the house as much as I can remember to. These made a huge difference in my foot pain, or lack of. Highly recommend to ease your foot pain.

color of sole

Just looking inside my shoe to see the flash of red is fun. And the custom (heat-) molded sole works wonders in multiple shoes. This 'find' could have saved me from months of foot discomfort due to supination. The few times I have forgotten to insert the sole into the shoes I'm wearing, by the end of a couple of hours I'm not comfortable. I've worn the soles 2 months and counting. Too many choices: several price and material options concerned me at first, but were easily narrowed down with the SOLE online personal quiz. Glad I finally found the right shoe soles to make walking comfortable.

Margaret Martinez

Best Sandal Ever

Catalina Sport Flip sandals are the best. They have an arch which gives your foot support. The material is comfortable. The look is classic. I have been buying these for years and need no other sandal.

Great footbed

Great inserts! I have been wearing them now for a month or more. My hard orthotics were uncomfortable. I wasn't able to stand for long periods, which my job requires. My feet were always tired and sore at the end of the day. These are very comfortable and my chronic foot pain has diminished significantly. It's like wearing the right shoe with the right amount arch support. They fit perfectly into any shoe. My old orthotics were very wide and stuck out from my instep stretching the shoe. These basically replace the shoe's original foot bed. I wear a 9.5 shoe and bought a size 9. i will be buying another pair for my hiking shoes but will get a size 10. I can feel the end of the insert in my sneakers. It doesn't bother me or cause any pain but I will get a size bigger and trim if need be. Price is right too considering the price of hard orthotics.

Very helpful

I have had the Active Thick pads for a couple months and they have really helped me with my Morton’s Neroma. It is a quality product and really gave the area in my foot that neede the proper support exactly what it needed and it feels so much better. It was also a great experience on ordering and getting the product. Thank you sooo much!

Sandi

wonderful

I absolutely love my Catalina sport flips! I will wear them all year long. I had foot surgery and required orthotics but these saved me from having to wear closed in shoes all the time. They are not only comfortable but sturdy and supportive. So fabulous that I have to hide them when I'm not wearing them so that my daughter doesn't make off with them. I may have to get her some for Christmas!

The best insoles available

These are the best insoles available anywhere. I started out using the SOLE DK Signature insoles and switched to these when they were discontinued. All of my SOLE insoles have been great, but these are my favorites. I have them in all of my shoes, boots and running shoes. Since I switched to SOLE from Superfeet I’ve had no more issues with plantar fasciitis, and no foot pain or fatigue. They aren’t cheap but they are worth every penny. Try them. You’ll be glad you did.

Immediate Results

The SOLE insert with met pad has really eliminated my heel and foot pain. I could see a difference the day I put it on. That achy heel and painful feet feeling is gone. Thank you SOLE.

Great insole for cycling

I bought this product on the recommendation of my physiotherapist, to help with the “hot foot” syndrome I was experiencing during long bike rides. For this purpose the insole has been very effective, as I no longer experience the problem. The fit in a road cycling shoe is tight and requires some trimming of the insole. So far I’ve been very happy with this product. I’ve been using it for a month now on my bike trainer and outdoor rides. I liked it so much I bought matching insoles for my running shoes as well.

Love mine!

Love these inserts! I found out about them following a foot injury and now I wear them everyday. I keep these in my work shoes for long hours on my feet. Fantastic rigid arch support for those hard concrete floors.

Annette M Duval

Foot support indoors

My feet hurt on the top, much of the time. Although I have good shoes, I was going barefoot in my home. I had these same sandals years ago, still do, as a great outdoor shoe. When a supportive slipper was suggested to me, I thought of the SOLE sandal. They immediately felt great and my feet have been much better since I wear them all the time indoors. The support is fantastic. I would recommend them for both indoor and outdoor use. The material is very comfortable; my feet don't sweat in them as they do in others. I purchased black though I would have considered other colours.

GO to Footbed

HI SOLE, Let's just say if you ever decided to discontinue this model of footbed, I would have to find a new "go to" SOLE product. The arch height, strength and forefoot thickness is ideal for a wide range of foot types and footwear options. Thanks SOLE for making such a great workable product Sincerely, Deanna Certified Pedorthist

Jason s mckay

Pad is in just the right spot

Needed a slider or flip for after a run or soccer game. Saw that these had a metatarsal pad and wanted to see if that would alleviate some of the post run abuse my feet suffer from. So far, so good. Solid construction, comfy padding (that included the bump for the metatarsal), the band over the top of the foot and between the toes is soft and comfortable as well.

Great for golf

I now have three pairs of these thin insoles. I use them in my golf shoes, hiking shoes, and walking shoes. My first pair was a size 8 (my normal shoe size) but then a salesperson at REI suggested I place my foot on larger sizes to get a better fit on the arch placement. Size ten actually fit my higher arch perfectly. So now I buy size ten and trim the toe end to fit into my shoes. This also fits my wider toe box shoes well. I used to buy the “Super” brand, but only buy this brand now. I naturally pronate and have a neuroma and my feet feel great. The material lasts a long time and the thin version fits in most of my shoes.

love this product

This product gives great support to my high arches. As a woman with very large feet (12.5ee) I have a heck of a time finding shoes and work boots that will fit my feet correctly... I wind up buying mens sizes that fit poorly. Your product is a complete life saver to help adjust the fit to my actual foot. Keep up the good work, I am a customer for life.

Hilda Angeles

Supportive Sandals

I had foot surgery 3 years ago and have been wearing SOLE insoles ever since. This is not your regular flip flop. The sandals have excellent support and look good too. I can wear them all day and have no pain on my feet.

Game changer

I have been wearing the Performance Wide Medium in my work shoes for over a month now, and they have helped my foot pain at the end of the day. I am 57 years old and average about 15000 steps a shift, so I needed the help. The only drawback is this model does make a significant weight increase to the shoe. I just put my Active Wide Medium into my New Balance walking shoes. Within my first walk I knew this was a massive improvement to the performance of these shoes. They give the same feel as the thick model, without taking away from the shoe’s cushioning and do not add a noticeable amount of weight. I am buying 2 more pairs right away. If you are looking to try SOLE, I think that the Active Medium is the best place to start.

smiling feet

I needed quality XL size insoles to stop my foot pain. SOLE was a home run for me. Easy to buy and exactly what I needed. Life is good when you find a company that helps supply what you need without a hassle. My feet thank me everyday.

Foot Pain

Occasional foot pain was bothering me. I puchased the insole and it has helped tremendously. I can now enjoy golf and long walks with no discomfort

Metatarsal Pad insoles

I bought this product because I had pain on the ball of my foot and the Dr. Suggested a metatarsal pad insole. I have been able to hike again without pain. I am so thankful I bought these! My runner is size 7 and the insole is a size 6 and fits perfectly into my runners and even into my Toms.

Awesome!

This was my first purchase of a SOLE insole, and I must say I am happy that I did. Admittedly, I was hesitant to spend so much on something I'd never actually seen or touched. In 2020, I've spent hundreds of dollars on trying to find a product that actually did what it said it would do. These insoles DO! Worth every penny. Im a bigger guy and have a habit of quickly wearing out the arch support that exists in my shoes. Over the past year, I have been doing a lot of regular walking (7-10km daily) and hiking. I purchased the SOLE insoles to help support my feet in the Altera Lone Peak 5s that I bought earlier this season. After nearly 1000km of use, I am a hard-core believer in how well they work and how durable they are. My feet feel GREAT- no more planar fasciitis, no more foot cramps. What's more, the insoles still feel and function like they did when I first pulled them out of the oven to custom-fit them to my feet. They perfectly fit the wide toe box of my Lone Peak 5's, too! These will easily outlast my shoes and I'll be using them in their replacement. Thank you, SOLE!

Lori Dancey

Best sandals ever

I have bought 3 pairs of these sandals. I have problems with my right foot and they are probably the most comfortable shoe I can wear. The met pad helps my foot. If I put a regular pair of flip flops on I cannot walk in them. So thankful that I found these.

Jin Koh

Good for plantar fascia

I have diagnosed plantar fasciitis in my right foot. Especially, I have heel spurs. I have used two different brand footbeds (Dr. Scholl's and Trek Support) for my injury. My PT specialist suggested putting a SOLE brand footbed. When I put on it in my regular shoes and wear it, it gave pressure on my foot arch a lot and felt really different immediately. It did not give me any pain in my heel spur. I used it only for seven days. So far, it is really positive. I just ordered three more to put in my all shoes (two Thin for tennis shoes, one Medium for working shoes).

Relief

I was recently in a lot of foot pain at the ball of my foot and was informed by doctor that it was matatarsal and to see a foot specialist. Without medical coverage this can cost a min of 500$ for appointment and orthotics… I found this company and decided to try them… I get a lot of relief from my Active Medium with met pad insoles and would highly recommend them!!

Perfect for runners

The performance line is excellent - the cork molds nicely to the foot using the oven heat method. I found the medium thickness to be overly bulky in both my road and trail running shoes and so tried the performance thin instead - much better. The cork provides a bit of cushioning along the bottom of the foot and is not too aggressive into the arch. Sizing recommendation is spot on. I’m a size 9 in most casual shoes, a 9.5 in most runners, and the 10 fits without any trimming adjustment required. Bonus that the cork is recycled. A great product to promote sustainability.

wearing for years

I used the Active Thick for work for about 6 years for work shoes as a server and in winter boots, now I use them for walking shoes too. I get pain in my heel when I don't have enough cushion so I like these best for walking in, especially for long periods. With the right shoes I can walk for many hours with no pain, even on harder surfaces. Not as good as the Medium for running in because they are more rigid, but much better for when I'm not running. I need to size up tight-fitting shoes by a half size to allow these to fit as my usual size 9 runners made me feel like I was losing circulation with these in them but feels great with a 9.5. My boots still fit them fine with a 9. Immediate improvement when switching to a fresh set and then gets better in the next couple wears as it molds to the foot.

Michelle Ebert

So comfy, even for "hard-to-fit" feet

These flip flops are amazing! It's my second pair (in a different color). They take a couple days to get used to the support, but it's just what I need! My feet are VERY difficult to find sandals or shoes for. A bunion on 1 foot plus high-aches. My feet hurt everyday. Not saying these completely alleviate the pain, but they greatly reduce it! Thank you, SOLE. I'm a convert!!

Joanne Bonney

Love these shoes!

These are great supportive shoes for everyday. They are very comfortable and light. You wouldn’t think you are wearing supportive flip flops they are just like regular everyday shoes - but they stop foot pain and plantar fasciitis. These are the only flip flops I wear and have worn for several years. Definitely worth the money!

Mendocino slide for foot relief

I had purchased an earlier model of the slide that had a fixed neoprene top which had stretched out making the fit too loose. When I saw the Mendocino slide with adjustable Velcro straps I was delighted. I have been wearing them around the house on wood floors to give my feet orthotic support and they are pure comfort!

Mimi Straka

Thanks SOLE!

The Mateo Sport Slide is very comfortable and is helping my foot pain on the balls of my feet. I've been wearing them much of the day for about a month. It fits pretty well, though it's a bit long for my foot. I usually wear a size 8. It's light, which is nice, so my feet don't get tired when wearing them. I would like it to be available in other colours though, especially a light, white or cream colour for the summer months. Thanks SOLE!

Lesia Castellano

Great improvement on the sport slide

Bought these for Hubby as he had an older version of the Slide but after many years they definitely stretched out due to the type of material ( neoprene). These are a HUGE improvement in that the material is more firm, and they have the 3 velcro straps which can keep them snug on your foot. He loves these so much I had to buy him a 2nd pair just in case they sell out ! He wears them with everything and great to even walk far in them as they do have the arch support! Well done on this design, SOLE!

Helpful but not my favorite

I’ve been wearing these insert in my turf shoes for soccer games for the past month or so. They definitely have relieved the pain in my feet and ankles but not quite as much as the performance foot beds with met pads that I wear in my cleats. I did have to cut the inserts down quite a bit which was kinda difficult because of the thickness in some areas.

Totally works!

After years of tortured feet I went to see a real podiatrist. She recommended these insoles, and I got a pair. They make the shoes fit my whole foot in 3D, not just the outline of the footbed (length & width). I spend whole days in those shoes, without thinking about my feet at all. Truly a personal breakthrough. Highly recommended,

Awesome product

The Active Thin insoles are incredibly useful for me. I started to use them 7 years ago after a piece of advice from a podiatrist as I am having a mild flat-foot and I was getting sole pain after walking or running. Since I used them, my problem disappeared completely. I am using them in all my shoes, whether classic ones or sports ones. I usually remove the original footbed and replace them with my SOLE insoles and once they are in place, I am comfortable with no walking issue. I did not have to mould them as I believe they should maintain their original curve to support the foot arch. At least this worked for me. I have bought 8 pairs up till now to cover all my shoes. Highly recommended product.

Great support and comfort!

I had pain in my foot for years. Nothing seemed to help it until my doctor recommended this insert. I wear them for every workout, and walking and hiking. My foot no longer hurts. I recommend them highly!

Helps My Plantar Fasciitis

I recently bought my second pair of SOLE Active Thick insoles. Plantar fasciitis causes me a lot of pain in my right heel. Along with proper stretching and ice, supportive and well-cushioned insoles help keep discomfort at bay. The thinner SOLE insoles support my foot in the proper position to avoid trouble, but these are even better because they cushion that tender area that gets battered with every step. I just wish I had a pair for every pair of shoes I own!

Russell Homewood

Foot Support

Been wearing these around the house instead of UGG slippers. I work from home so was wearing the UGGs all the time. The SOLE sandals help my feet feel more lively when I am playing tennis and minimize some foot ailments I had been developing.

Foot Beds

Been using these for a couple years now. Get a new pair about every 6-9 months and put the old ones in my other shoes. New ones in my Tennis Shoes. Seem to help with support of my high arches and minimizes some foot problems i was beginning to develop from the jumping motion when serving i tennis. I'm 61 years old so need to take care of your feet!

Lori Dancey

Best sandals ever

I have bought 3 pair of these sandals. I have problems with my right foot and they are probably the most comfortable shoe I can wear. The Metatarsal pad helps my foot. If I put a regular pair of flip flops on, I cannot walk in them. So thankful that I found these.

Mary A Needham

comfortable

I was pleased to find these Catalina sandals that also can provide the metatarsal support recommended to me by podiatrist this summer when experiencing foot pain. Found these to be very comfortable, enjoyed just slipping them on first thing in the am and hanging out with them. Had a momentary issue with strap rubbing one area, didn't wear for a few days, and now just fine. So glad to have a supportive option for summer wear.

Patrick Arneson

Best Sandal Ever

Having a larger foot with a high and long arch that is in need of a stability, I use the inserts in my work boots and Adidas sneakers, I was excited to see the sandals and they surpassed my expectation in comfort, fit and support.

Restaurant worker

I wear these for work and I stand for long hours. It will form to your feet but still provides the support. The material is good too!! Durable material and cool designs! Would recommend the met pad for problematic foot people like myself!! It helped with the other leg pains bad support caused to knees, ankles, or hips.

Effective replacement for custom orthotics

After several ankle sprains, I consulted a doctor who prescribed custom insoles. As an active tennis player, foot stability, particularly ankle stability, is very important. Recently, I had worn out those custom orthotics and looked for replacement options. The SOLE deep heel cup, and excellent arch support (I have high arches) provide what I need. And at a fraction of the cost of going the custom route again, I’m very pleased. These insoles are excellent for tennis, and the cork provided some nice natural cushioning.

Changed Everything

Attn: Fellow foot pain sufferers! I have for too many years, purchased prescribed shoe inserts at the cost of $300/pair plus and they never seemed to change the game. Let's face it, your feet grow and the prescribed inserts are supposed to be replaced every two years. That's $150/year for not much gain on the pain. I was just about to replace a pair (now $400 pandemic price) when I happened to walk into an REI store and was looking at shoes and talking about my feet and the salesperson recommended SOLE Performance. I will never buy another prescribed insert, full stop. My shoes feel completely different now. From the moment I pulled these warmed inserts from the oven and slipped them into my work boots I knew, this was/is the answer and at $60/pair a tremendous savings. After the oven treatment they formed to my feet and offered instant comfort, arch support and my general foot pain is diminished to an amazing degree. I now have 4 pairs in different shoes and could not be happier. At this price point I no longer have to switch one pair from shoe to shoe, I can now just slip on a pair and walk out the door. The comfort, form fit and sense that my feet are being hugged is invaluable, add to that I am recycling cork and it's a win all the way around. Thank you SOLE and REI salesperson for a life changing moment..

YES!!!

I’ve been rehabbing low to moderate plantar fasciitis on my slender low arched pronated foot. These insoles along with a dorsiflexion sleeping splint are doing the job. Progress accelerated after adding insoles. Planning to try same brand flips. YAY! Note, I’m a PT, had same condition 20yrs. ago - I know of what I speak.

Expect break in period

I am a runner/athlete. Have been for decades. I'm 60 years old and very fit. I run about 25-30 miles per week. I do not have flat feet but my arches are NOT pronounced. Without support under my arches my feet get sore quickly. I have used MANY different types of insoles to support my arches. I have had relatively good luck over the years with top line athletic Dr. Scholl's and also expensive custom orthodics. Dr. Scholl's are a bit heavy and a bit squishy, due to the Gel component and lack of a hardened bottom, but have been okay. Customs have all been a crap shoot and have all been costly. $500 range. A friend made me aware of the SOLE product. I did a lot of reading and photo gazing and concluded that this is a product certainly worth trying. I am a shoe size 10.5 so had to trim the front of the insole to fit. No problem. They cut relatively easily with a good scissor and because I've had to trim about a hundred of the Dr. Scholl's I did not mess it up. I have put approx 50 miles on the SOLE's. They are light weight and have not caused any chaffing or callousing. Although the first few runs there was a bit of instep and toe rub. At first they did not fit my foot shape and seemed VERY ridged. But they have done what SOLE claims and have molded to the shape of my foot. I played hockey for years. I understand how this material works as Hockey Skates also need to be oven baked a couple of times and then worn to adapt to your foot and ankle. At this point everything is great. They're light weight, provide great arch support, there is no squishiness due to them not having a gel component, no heel bruising or tenderness, no foot odor. All good... I've ordered a second pair as well for my daily walking around shoes. Thank you SOLE for a great product.... 5 stars...

Life saving insole

Love this insole. I’ve got a bad case of metatarsalagia and have been on the hunt for non-surgical relief without having to completely replace my sneakers, dress shoes, casual shoes, boots, running shoes and cycling shoes. This insole solved that problem. Easy to swap between shoes but always providing the net relief I need. I love the higher heel cup, the moment you put it in the shoe and lace it up you can feel your heel supported and hugged without being too tight. I cannot recommend the Active Medium with met pad enough!! If you have foot pain, pick a set up and watch the pain become more manageable and hopefully go away!

Matthew Nahoum

Really great pair of shoes

I have a very bad case of metatarsalagia in my right foot. I’m a runner and cyclist and have been desperate to find non-surgical relief. I had bought 2 pairs of SOLE Inserts (which I love) but wanted a solution for work where I didn’t have to constantly be trading insoles with other shoes. I came across these Districts and have them a shot. Wow! Very stiff at first but as they began to break in there become my go-to shoe for work and beyond. Comfortable as can be, super stylish, my boss even commented on how great they look. Great look while adding the net relief I needed so badly. It also made me happy to find vegan friendly, eco conscious shoes. I can’t recommend these shoes enough if you’re looking for all the foot support you need packed in a classy casual/dress shoe. I’m absolutely certain that I’ll be buying more products like the District shoe from SOLE. You should too!

Great support for marathon training

I switched from another popular insert to SOLE 3 years ago after a bout of plantar fasciitis & have not turned back. The Met pad provides an extra level of localized support other inserts lack. Even without performing the custom heat molding, the insert fits great! I use them in a stability shoe as well as a performance racing shoe for marathon training & racing. One down side, the cork base cracked across the ball of the foot region. Perhaps this is normal breakdown at the end of the inserts life (wearing period), but I continued to use them without a noticeable issue. Maybe time for another new pair!

Great for neuromas

I found these insoles to work the best for long days on my feet when my neuromas typically bother me the most. The met pad is in the perfect location for my foot. I prefer the plastic material over cork as it seems to have more cushion. The insoles molded without heat to my high arches nicely. I will say, I try to use them only as needed, when my feet are really hurting. I have noticed spending too much time in these insoles makes my feet hurt worse when they are not being artificially supported. Living in these insoles (as with any insoles) will only lead to weak, stiff, and painful feet in the long term. There is no replacement for foot strengthening in mitigating foot pain. That being said, these are great insoles that can help alleviate foot pain when used to temporarily relieve overloaded tissues and in conjunction with foot strengthening activities.

Steve Leroy Donaldson

Awesome

I was skeptical at first as they were tight in the top where the velcro is to secure my foot. After a few times it loosened up a lot. These feel like having custom orthotics on. Worth every penny and sizing was spot on. I wear a 10.5 and went with an 11.

Great pads

I now have 3 pairs of these for my shoes and 2 pairs for my husband. These are fantastic relief for foot pain, very comfortable and hold your foot in place without movement

Best insole I have ever worn

This is the best insole I have ever had. I threw my doctor made ones away a long time ago. I have been wearing SOLE for about 20 years and have a local foot doctor that sends patients in to get these. I highly recommend them!

Great support for flat feet

I bought these to use in my 'barefoot' style hiking boots, as I tend to overpronate in these. I kept my foot in a proper arch (gripping the floor) while fitting the soles out of the oven to ensure a larger support through the medial arch. This worked great - feet didn't overpronate in the boots any more. The arch support could've been a touch more, and the midfoot support could've been a touch less to be perfect, but overall I'm happy with the insoles. Time will tell how long the insoles will last, but the materials are good and are flexible enough to not interfere with foot movement when walking, so they should be good for a while.

Wonderful

SOLE insoles are the only thing that have helped my plantar fasciitis. I have been using them—mainly the Active Thick—in all of my shoes for over a year now. I highly recommend them to anyone with foot pain.

Amazing Foot Support

My first pair of cork footbeds. I put them in my Rockports and have an amazing combination of foot support. I also wear the SOLE footbeds in my Dunnam Battery Park Shoes to help keep the pain away. I love them and absolutely recommend them.

Better than custom insoles

Due to an old injury I supinate on my left foot. I've tried all kinds of insole products from custom to store bought. With out a doubt, SOLE has been the best insole for the money, hands down. My first purchase was for my walking shoes but I'm going to purchase a pair of the thinner insoles for my athletic shoes, which have a tighter fit. Give them a couple of days to mold to your feet - you won't be disappointed!

Living Pain Free

I suffer with plantars fasciitis and as long as I wear these insoles with met pad support, my foot pain is gone. I have been using SOLE insoles for 4-5 years. They are great in any of my shoes. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I don't even notice them in my shoes. You have nothing to lose except for the pain! I highly recommend buying these insoles for anyone with foot pain or even if you don't - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Timothy R McAlpine

The Bombdiggity of Flips

These are the bombdiggity! I have been wearing them essentially everyday for the last 2.4 years. The algae foam is insanely comfortable and molded perfectly to my feet. The synthetic nubuck strap holds my foot in place without being too restricting. The strap fits snug at first, but after wearing consistently in my house for a couple weeks, they fit like a dream! I love the lower profile for my flat feet, as the SOLE footbed provides all the support I need. If you suffer from tired feet and sore knees, these are a must buy!

Perfect fit every time

I have plantar fasciitis and I purchased a pair of SOLE brand inserts. They can be warmed and molded to your foot. They worked so well, I bought two more pairs. I no longer have to buy those rubbery one size fits all inserts. My feet feel so much better and I know they are the perfect fit every time.

Good quality, thick and supportive sole

I have been wearing these Active Thick insoles for about 5 years now. They're my go to. I work on concrete floors in a retail setting so it's extremely hard on shoes. But these are amazing. I used to pay upwards of 400 dolllars for custom fit orthotics but tried these at a fraction of the cost and honestly, they last longer than my orthotics did. They offer amazing support and if you suffer from foot pain, or plantar faciitis, trust me and try these. You will not regret it. I recommend the Active Thick insoles as I have tried 3 other types of thinner ones. These ones just feel better. I tried the met pad ones this time as I usually get the ones without and I love them honestly. Will definitely buy again!

No more foot pain

I put the Active Medium with Met Pad in my indoor workout shoes to see if it helped with my foot pain and occasional numbness. It took a few days to get used to them as my foot was forming them but after that - they have worked great. I no longer dread doing my indoor workout! I have no more pain in my feet.

Gary C Stevenson

Walking on Clouds

If you want to feel like you are "walking on clouds".....this is the flip flop for you. I completely forgot I had foot pain(corns) when I slid into these shoes. Soft, flexible with just enough form....heaven. Wore them for 2 hours the first time and the next day for 6 hours....now that's comfortable. The soft "spongy" form fitting base provides all day comfort. I wear them as slippers indoors and sandals outdoors. This is my 4th pair of SOLE Flips and I love them.

SOLE arch support insoles

One foot has a fallen arch as the result of an ankle injury a few months back. It was suggested to me by an athletic trainer to try the SOLE product before going the route of seeing a foot doctor. This might mitigate the pain in my ankle and across the top of my foot, and on the inside of my foot. There was also considerable swelling on the ball of the foot causing some minor numbness. I have been wearing this product for a month or so and can attest to the fact that the pain is negligible and most days the swelling is much decreased, which also lessens the numbness. It is by far the best insole I have ever used...very comfortable. In fact, I am going to order two more pairs for other shoes. Once you warm the insole, slide it into a pair of shoes, and step into the shoe, the insole is definitely shaped to your foot but also then seems to be shoe specific. Thank you for making such a good and affordable product.

Terry L Bergen

So wonderful to be able to wear flip flops again

Having problems with my back and with plantar fasciitis, I hike and have five acres to look after. So back and foot pain was really hard to deal with. Years ago I had got my first pair of SOLE footbeds for pronation and they fixed my pronation which in turn ended my knee pain which threatened to end my hiking. I have a lot of faith in the SOLE product,. Now SOLE is first place I look when I have problems. Two days ago I climbed crossover pass almost 2000 meters of gain 20 km with SOLE inserts and my body feels fine today, I wear the flip flops around the property I am constantly gardening, mowing, pruning, etc and I feel great, by the way I am in my 70’s . Thanks to SOLE I don’t have to slow down

Inserts so so

These were to help with the soreness on my feet. They are more stiff than I thought. I thought being made of cork they would be soft. I recommend getting the met padding but not the cork based ones. After wearing them for a month the stiffness finally wore down and they do help my feet. It's just the first month you have to get use to. I have been wearing these for 2 months now and my feet feel great! I recommend the met padding non cork inserts for the medium ones. I like how these inserts form to your foot. It says you can heat in the oven but just wearing them forms to the feet. Sole is a great insert company. Def if you need inserts for long work days get the medium based met padding ones. They will save your feet!

Like magic

My son's feet were hurting really bad after track season started and we were referred to a foot specialist who suggested SOLE. So glad he did because within one day of using Sole, my son was able to run again without much pain. We have only using SOLE for about 6-7 months and just had to buy a 2nd set but my son loves them as he has no pain when using these!!

Great foot bed!

This foot bed is incredible. I have been running and ski touring with it and I am very impressed. Highly recommend!

Joel Green

Finally, I made the right choice this summer

I have been using SOLE inserts with a met pad for a few years. Having bought inexpensive sandals year after year I wanted better quality and a met pad to deal with metalargica (sp?) SOLE was an obvious choice and the Mendocino is perfect with adjustable width, super comfortable foot bed and a met pad! I use these every day, $$ well spent.

Brad Hookey

No Problem

I would get discomfort and pain after standing all day for work. Since I started wearing SOLE Softec Ultra liners, I don't notice my feet at all. Not having to worry about foot pain is great!

Perfect for my work shoes!

I’m a paramedic on a busy 911 service so I’m on my feet a lot. I purchased these for my work shoes because I was having horrible left foot pain to the point I was wondering if I had a stress fracture and needed to see a doctor. I placed these in my shoes as soon as they arrived and the difference has been phenomenal! I no longer have pain. I believe a lot of my issue was coming from a lack of support for my arches and these insoles provide the missing link. I wouldn’t be mad if it was slightly more “cushy,” but it’s great support and I love that I’m not in pain anymore. Thank you for helping me take care of my feet!

Jason Hilton

Nice

I had these for about 2 months. Wore them on vacation to the beach and it took a couple of days for my feet and the sandals to adjusts and conform. Now that they have they feel great and I reach for these over my Olukai’s. Now they just need to make a couple of versions of these in brown with a sweat absorbing foot bed!

Huge improvement

I got these footbeds because I have incredibly flat feet and I get a lot of foot pain on my road bike. These are perfect! They give just the right amount of support and cushion. My knees track straight now instead of pronating. I'm using these in Shimano RC9 shoes and they fit perfectly.

Comfy

I've been wearing the Performance Wide Thin insoles for a month and I'm in love. These insoles are so incredibly comfortable. it truly isn't exaggerating to say they've changed how I thought about all my shoes. I used to have no insoles in any of my shoes despite being someone who walks everywhere, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back. The insole molds to my foot perfectly hugs it without making it hot.

Wayne Earl Thomas

Most Comfortable Sandals

I have had problems with foot pain for years and the SOLE products has brought me much relief. I have 4 pairs of SOLE slides and unless it is snowing or unless I am going to church - I am wearing them. I use them on dry land and at the pool. Thank you

Comfortable

New SOLEs are comfortable. Just had hammertoe surgery and the new footbeds are helping rehab the foot.

Pearl Galiz

Catalina flip flops

I bought these flip flops as I have heel spurs and was in a lot of pain when walking. Have been wearing these for over a month and love the support and look of these and they fit perfect. They are well made and worth the money as I find them very comfortable and the pain in my foot has lessened so much that I wear them in the house and outdoors! I would highly recommend these for anyone suffering any foot pain,

Kimberley Biddiscombe

Foot pain

These slides are comfortable, and fit true to size. They offer support and allow me to find relief from foot pain and swelling in my foot during the day. I like them so much I have one pair for inside and one for outside!

Incredible reduction I'm foot pain

The foot supports I bought are simply amazing. I work as a mechanic for heavy injection molding machines so I'm on my feet all day carrying heavy parts, driving bolts using my legs and feet for leverage and jumping and climbing onto machines. It put a lot of pressure on my feet and I would go home to pounding, swelling feet every day. After I tried these, it was instantly better with the burning pain replaced by only soreness as my feet adjusted to the mold. After about 2 weeks of my feet adjusting to the pads all my foot pain is gone and I go all week without them burning, swelling or hurting so bad they cause a limp anymore. Overall an amazing product especially for the price

Debbie Renaud

My Shoes

I really like the feeling of comfort I get from the shoe, the foot is just right along with where the arch is,it gives me the support I need along with the balance. The reason I bought the product is I have plantar fasciitis and I was looking for a comfortable shoe for the summer. The material is just right for the summer weather. I found out about your shoes from the internet. Thank you

Susan Neufeld

Pure comfort

This is my third paid of SOLE flips and they are the answer to my foot problems. My plantar fasciitis is resolved wearing these.

Great replacement for the spongy factory insole.

Great product, needed more arch support than what came with my work boots. I did go with the met pad, which took some getting used to. Basically the met pad is a small bump on the insole between the arch and just short of the ball of your foot. If I order again, I will not order the met pad. It does not show up on any pictures on the website, it would be nice if the website offered some side profiles of the insole, showing the detail of the met pad option.

Excellent foot bed

I have been using these footbeds for years now. They fit both my shoes and my feet perfectly and are very comfortable. The arch shape is exactly right for my foot and allows me to stand and walk without pain. The material used to make the footbeds is the right combination of flexible and rigid. An all around good footbeds for me.

Great support

I love the support of these with the metatarsal pad. I don't have metatarsalgia or other foot pathologies, but these are quite comfortable. I wish these came in the wide as they're even more comfortable to me than the plain version. I bought these for my new hiking boots and they fit well within the boot after trimming. They bring my heel slightly out of the heel pocket, but as I'm breaking in these new boots, I don't expect to see a problem with rubbing.

Caroline Heuermann

Ahhhhhh!

Love these! Comfortable and good looking. Been wearing SOLE sandals over a year now and they are worth the extra price over cheap flip flops and sandals. Glad I got this flip flop style to add to my collection. The met pad makes a difference for me when it comes to alleviating foot pain from chronic osteoporosis and arthritis issues. And they wear well too. Been to the beach and all over wearing these beauties. Good quality material. True to fit. Purchased black but there were other cute color choices too.

Robert Wiebe

Very comfortable

I purchased these flips in June, and find them very comfortable. I wanted something I could walk into to go out to the garden, and kick off when I was done. They 're even comfortable to drive in. I have plantars faciatis and knee arthritis so I needed proper support. The cork footbed is very helpful and I am experiencing less foot and knee pain. I have even work them all day out running errands, and have much less knee pain than before.

Corinne

Perfect soles

I discovered these footbeds several years ago and loved them. I have high arches and these insoles are perfect for support. They shape to my foot. I have these in all of winter boots and the lifestyle model are in my shoes.

SOLE is number one

SOLE has delivered where others have failed. I have had foot issues for most of my life. One of my major problems is supination. Most insoles address overpronation. SOLE takes care of both. I have been using Performance Medium with Met pad (cork) for about 6 weeks. The medium works great in a pair of shoes I have that are very roomy. I then ordered 2 more pair in the Thin Performance for shoes where I needed a little more toe wiggle. My balance has improved and the achilles heel pain in my right foot is gone. I only wish I had discovered SOLE insoles years ago.

I can count on SOLE

I got my first pair of SOLE inserts maybe 10 years ago. I teach motorcycle riding, and when I do that, I'm walking about eight miles a day on pavement, and I have to wear boots. I got my first pair of SOLE inserts then, and what a difference they made. I actually felt like doing something other than sitting after teaching. A few years later I ended up with surgery for a Morton's Neuroma, and the doctor would tweak other inserts for me to use. Those worked for a little while, but I've had issues for a while with a metatarsal as a result of the surgery. Wearing any shoes that aren't made for problem feet doesn't work. Ahead of an important motorcycle event where I had to dress for the period, I purchased a pair of high top Converse, which I thought I'd wear once for the photo and that would be it. I purchased the Active Thin with Met Pad for the shoes. Perfect! I wore them throughout the week for the whole event and had no foot pain or discomfort. I never thought I would be able to wear shoes like that, but thanks to SOLE inserts, I can.

Husbands feet are happy now

I purchased these for my husband who was having pain in ball of foot. He has not had any pain in that area or his entire foot since the first day of use. He loves these insoles!

Pain relief!

My husband developed plantar fasciitis; we stopped in a local running store and the owner highly recommended the Active Thin inserts. What a difference they have made for him! It takes a few days but with the inserts, stretches and exercise his feet are so much better. When I woke up one more with my feet feeling cramped and on fire, he told me to try the same inserts. Within two days, my pain was significantly less (plus no more bare footing for me). We both have custom inserts from our foot doctor, these Active Thin inserts work so much better for us and last several months. We’re definitely sold!

Significant improvement in foot pain

These sandals are great for anyone who needs a metatarsal pad for comfort. The feeling is night and day compared to standard flat sandals which caused unbearable pain. Time will tell how durable they are, but so far I am very happy with them.

susan m lamirande

Best out there…

I have been purchasing SOLEs for years and tell everyone I know they are the only brand to buy for not just a good fit, but if you have any issues, back, hip or feet etc, they are the best for proper support. They last for years, so when I say I have been buying them for years, I just have many pairs. The quality is by far the best on the market and they mould to your foot and are so comfortable from the first time on you can wear them for long walks with no issues. Also, the customer support is fabulous.

Wayne J. Karl

Excellent

I had been looking for these for a while, as my size wasn't readily available, so when I saw they were in stock, I didn't hesitate. I have morton's neuroma, particular in my left foot, and have to think about proper footwear constantly. I already use several pairs of SOLE customized insoles, so I knew the quality and effectiveness. I've been wearing the Mateo Sport Slides for about a month now, and they're excellent. Fit is perfect, support is exactly what I need, and the quality is great, so they should last a long time. The look is nice also. Very happy with my purchase.

Wonderful

I put these in some cycling shoes that had minor support and they were much improved. I have high arches and a weak right ankle from an old injury. I got the insoles with the hope of improving support for my bad ankle as the more I exercise the more discomfort I feel on it. So far it has helped. I am able to ride further and my feet don't go numb. I think the met pad is a great addition. I was not sure if it would help or fit in the small shoe but the people at sole are right. It just helps your foot conform naturally. It doesn't just take up space, it fills the space and helps your foot feel natural. They fit the small shoes well. The size ten insole required minor trimming to fit a 9.5 shoe. I think the cork is a great material. I am happy to use anything that is recycled or helps the environment in any way.

Foot problem corrector!

I had been having bad foot pain in my big toes when I went to bed after running. I have a high arch, and the podiatrist recommended a metatarsal pad, which helped a little. After adding these insoles to my shoes, toe pain and hip pain went away. I deleted the extra metatarsal pad since these had them built in (a plus for me). Pretty great, and a surprise as I had just accepted that the pains were to be expected with my advancing age (55). I've been using the Performance Thin with Metatarsal pad for about a month now, and it took about a week for me to normalize with them. They didn't have any break in period per se, they just worked fine out of the box. Had to do a little trimming to fit my shoe exactly, but no big deal with a pair of scissors. The cork base is good, and appears to be very durable (I have plenty of cork shoes that last well). The rigid nature seemed like it would be an issue for shoe flex, but I haven't noticed anything different. Glad to be back in the happy zone and out of the pain zone!

customer journeys

I bought my first SOLE footbeds, heavily discounted, at a Sierra Trading. I had never purchased a footbed (that wasn't for ski boots) previously. I actually never even thought about buying footbeds for my regular shoes. I have a low arch and low volume foot so found that the first SOLES did a nice job of supporting the arch and also taking up some room in a slightly-too-wide dress shoe. Let me say that I'm in my 50s and drink a fair amount of wine, so the "ReCORK" initiative struck a cord with me as we're avid recyclers. Fast forward a year and I see an ad for SOLE and notice that my first pair are shot. now I buy TWO. And I love them! Great fit and support and I can rotate them in and out of various shoes. They make good shoes better. The title is "customer journey" and I feel that there are lots of people out there like me...who don't really consider paying a premium over the cost of the shoes for footbeds. But trying is believing. Anyway, great product! I like the frequency (1-2/month) of marketing outreach, and keep up the good work!

Best flip flops I ever had

I had a pair of balboa flip flops for several years without them breaking despite me wearing them every day and in rugged conditions. I hurt my foot a few years ago surfing so a stable footbed is important to me especially since I wear flip flops year round every day. Unfortunately my first pair got stolen at the beach. So I decided to get the same pair again as I was so happy with it. Doing so was a bit of a struggle as I am now living in Mexico and Sole doesnt ship here. As I was going to the states a few weeks later I just had them shipped there and waited a few weeks for them. I love that they use nuissance algae for the footbed, that way I can help clean up an environmental problem.

Jay

Worth the money

I just purchased my 2nd pair of these flip flops. The first ones I had, lasted about 3 years. I had originally purchased them to help get past my foot injury which required a lot of support. (Plantar Fasciitis). That problem is long gone & now I just buy them for the quality. I would recommend them for anyone that needs good arch support.

Able to Hike Again

I started using SOLE footbeds three months ago and couldn't be happier. My bunions and flat feet used to get so painful from skiing, hiking, and long walks. I put the Active Medium with Met Pad in my shoes and never looked back. I was able to hike 20 km a day, several days in a row, with zero foot pain or discomfort. Before using these a 20 km hike would have had me in tears and out of commission for a few days. I did find the thick pad took a few days to fit properly to my foot but it was so worth it!

Michelle McMullin

Best garden boots ever!

I have pins and plates in my one ankle. Balance and spending lots of time on uneven terrain have been an ongoing issue for me all the years since my foot surgeries. Wet ground and garden beds are the most challenging areas for my feet to spend time. I bought these Repel boots to try and replace my rubber gardener boots that have been killing my feet. Mid way through life of my existing boots I had put a pair of SOLE inserts in them. This had provided some relief but because I had ordered thick ones to try and provide insulation from cold the boots ended up being too tight. These boots are water resistant and fabulously comfortable. I can spend a whole day in the garden and my feet still feel great! Much more stable so calf muscles, toes everything don't feel exhausted when I come in. Just wish I had got them sooner. Michelle

Don Meidinger

Liked previous version better

I have been a great fan of SOLE. I own a dozen pair of footbeds and have them in all my shoes, but favorites have been the Mateo Slides. I am on my 5th pair of them and recently purchased a new pair. I like the previous version better and the tops were more rigid and kept the foot in place much better. The new versions seems much more stretchy and more difficult to keep on my feet, especially when i am driving.

Michelle Ebert

Super comfy, good support

My feet are impossible to find a comfortable, supportive fit for. But these sandals fit great! I have bunions and high arches. Often experience sore feet and sometimes arch cramping. When I first tried them on, they felt a little lumpy. But turns out, they are lumpy in all the right places. They provide me great support and keep my feet pain-free! My only complaint is that when my feet sweat or get wet, the sandals feel a bit slippery (where foot meets sandal, not where sandal meets the ground). Love them and highly recommend to others. Wish they came in more colors (light or dark brown, teal).

Benjamin J Shaul

Happy feet

I bought the SOLE inserts as I needed a full support insole following foot surgery two years ago. My feet have gone through a lot. I have a high arch and most shoes do not. I bought two pairs and have them in my most used footwear. The support is ideal and the materials used feel great. The SOLE inserts are continuing to prove a great purchase for me and as winter arrives I will be on them every day.

Foot comfort

Been using SOLE insoles for a long time, only insoles that I have. All my athletic shoes, hunting boots and casual shoes have them. They have prevented many potential foot problems.

Perfect for morton's neuroma

I was leery buying the foot bed with the built-in metatarsal support. I have never had any luck with shoes with built-in supports, so I was afraid these wouldn't work. (I generally buy a regular foot bed and add the support.) I've been wearing these for weeks, and they are wonderful! They are very comfortable and I have had no pain.

helped relive bottom foot pain

After carrying twins my foot shape changed. Barefoot shoes fit great but I needed more support. My arched were screaming by the end of the day. These helped relieve my foot pain right away.

The definitive answer to foot pain

After spending over $600 on custom orthotics that were horribly uncomfortable and frankly, brutal for athletics. Hundreds at the physio to sort out a neuroma and tendinitis- THESE INSOLES have me my sport life back! My job requires serious fitness and on my feet for hours- I have little to no pain thanks to these insoles. I am gobsmacked at the quality. if you are on the fence- GO FOR IT

great product

I have been wearing orthotic inserts for 20 years. I have tried every other product out there, SOLE inserts the best by far. I have been wearing the Active Medium with Met Pad for 3 months and they perform VERY WELL. I have also worn the Work Medium insoles for 2 years, they are great! I have a collapsed arch in one foot. these insoles are made of very resilient materials. I highly recommend the product.

Ms

I am flat foot and my feet were hurting me so I decided to try SOLE to see how good they are. When I put them in my sneakers they were so comfortable and my feet didn't hurt. I love my SOLE footbeds and I am looking down the road to ordering more!

Saves my feet and ankles

The insoles work great. I have little cartilage in my ankles and my arches have fallen made walking sore. This the the 5 pair of these I have bought because they are so effective in mediating and managing my foot problems. I walk pain free after every meal 6 to 8 miles a day.

Great insole!

I have been suffering from pain and numbness in my middle toes and pad of my foot for a while now. I recently read that it may be Morton's Neuroma. I started looking around for a foot bed that would help and found the SOLE with met pad. I cannot believe what a huge relief they have brought me. I ended up ordering three pairs. for everyday walking shoes, golf shoes and hiking shoes. Since I go them, my right foot has gotten progressively worse so I have started the process of going to a specialists but it is confirmed as Morton's Neuroma. It is worse without shoes and, honestly, my only real relief is when my feet are up with no weight on them or in my shoe with the SOLE foot bed. I've now had them for about 4 months and they are holding up amazingly well. Besides helping with my toes they are comfortable in every other way. They make you really laugh at what comes with your shoes or what they sell in a pharmacy.

Jack Streich

Extremely comfortable

I have a broken bone in my foot that is always painful. It is attached to the outside foot tendon, which keeps it from healing. I have to give you all two big working mans thumbs up, Between your foot inserts and your flips, I have a very active life. I recently even ran most of a 5K . Thank you so much and keep up your excellent service also😃.

Immediate relief

I find the SOLE insole with Met Pad provided relief for my foot issues. The insole sneakers with no trimming and seem to be of a high quality Shipping was reasonable and the company provided transactional feedback in a timely manner

Valerie Smith

The BEST flips in the WORLD!

I have bought SOLE flips ever since my accident that damaged my left foot. My Physiotherapist recommended them and I have worn them since 2009. Only recently both pairs finally wore out and I immediately ordered two more pairs. Unfortunately I couldn't see what size the old ones were as the number wore out so i guessed wrong and they were a 1/2 size too small. But they still kind of worked and in a week they felt fine. i still ordered the next size up and they were perfect. As a bonus , the smaller ones fit my granddaughter who also loves them! So 5 stars!

Happy Feet

These insoles have been exactly what I have needed. I have battled several years of foot cramps while skiing and hiking. I learned from a foot specialist my metatarsal pad needed more support. He told me about SOLE company. I purchased the cork and non cork versions of the met pad-medium-and loved the cork. I liked the non cork but have purchased -a total of 4 of these. They fit perfectly in my ski boots and skates as well as, my hiking boots and tennis shoes. I swap them between lots of my footwear and will not go out without them. LOVE THEM!! Buy these!! GREAT company-they TOTALLY stand behind their product. I have told so many of my friends about them. Be active, be comfortable, be in SOLE products! The sizing is right on!!

Shirley Keating

Answer to foot issues

I had Plantar Fasciitis about eight years ago which is very painful. My daughter recommended SOLE products as it had helped her. I bought my first pair and my foot problems stopped. I wear them faithfully around the house and outside and highly recommend them to anyone who has problems with their feet. I have tried several different types and do like the cork soles the best.

Jose M Lobo

Great flips!

I love to wear the Beach flips at the end of the day, because the anatomical shape cradles my foot like a custom orthotic.

Sheila S Hampton

Can't do without these!

I suffered from foot pain for WAY TOO LONG. My orthopedic doctor recommended these many years ago and I absolutely can't do without them. If I go one day without, my feet, ankles and legs just ache. It's amazing that one little addition like this insert makes a HUGE difference in the best way possible.

Great product

These insoles feel like they would be great for someone with metatarsal pain. They're firm and very supportive. Sizing was accurate. This is a quality product. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis shortly after receiving these so I can't give a proper review on comfort. The firmness actually makes the pain worse but these insoles are not meant for rheumatoid arthritis pain. My mother has metatarsalgia and she swears by SOLE products. She has multiple pairs of sandals and insoles and she says they have helped with her foot pain immensely.

Jennifer Zagar

Great purchase

I have Plantar Fasciitis. My feet were hurting non stop for months. If I sat down for five minutes I could barely walk when I got back up. I bought these inserts and wore them a few hours a day for a few days and then every day. I have NO foot pain. I am absolutely, totally amazed!!! If they are a little uncomfortable at first do not give up. These are life changing!

I SWEAR by SOLE !

SOLE insoles are the best I've found for my particular feet: I've had a bunion since my twenties, 50 years. It was painful off and on but not now for several years. Since then I've developed a hammer toe and the start of overlapping toes. I recently declined a surgical option when it was revealed I would be off my feet for 10 months postop!! The foot surgeon referred me to a local store that carries supportive and orthopedic insoles. I DISCOVERED SOLE! and the rest is history. They make my feet comfortable in my shoes again. The ongoing changes in my feet have stopped. The bunion and hammer toe are easily managed with SOLE insoles. I'm ready to buy SOLE sandals next!

60+ hours a week on your feet? These are yours!

I work 60+ hours a week in an industrial environment, and these have been a life saver. No they have never “saved my life”, but they have saved my feet. This is my third pair in almost 20 years and I wear them to the breaking point. I highly recommend these if you are having foot pains in a work style boot.

Liked the soles so much I got the shoes

These SOLEs, and l like both the thin and thin + meta pad inserts, are awesome for running. They fit easily in my shoes, and I didn't even need to trim them. My feet feel better as well as my knees after a 5 mile run. I'm an older runner, so support in the feet is needed. I liked the SOLEs so much that I ordered two of the ReCORK shoes with the same foot beds. I used to be a superfeet fan, but now will only get SOLEs for my shoes.

Lawrence Cherniack

Comfortable shoe!

I love that the materials are not animal products. They fit like a kid glove. The footbed is very firm and gives a sense of enclosing your foot, but be warned that it is not a cushiony feeling. The sole has grip on dry surfaces, but I have a feeling I won't be using it in the winter. All in all a terrific ankle boot.

Bye bye foot pain

I’ve never used a met pad insole and was a little worried I wouldn’t like it. I thought I’d feel it and it would be uncomfortable. Boy was I wrong. Not only did I not really notice it but after a long day on my feet instead of being sore and tired my feet felt great. I can’t believe what a difference it made. Buy with confidence that you’re getting a great product 🤙🏽

Kevin E Naser

Days Without Foot Pain

Ordered 3 pairs of Softec Response to use in various casual shoes. Have use inserts by SOLE for years in work footwear (in response to planter fasciitis issues) & have been 100% satisfied. Have also used SOLE Hiking inserts in my hiking boots and have been very happy. Also, have worn their flip flops with wonderful success. However, am not completely sold on the results of my recent switch to the Softec Response for my work boots. Have experienced a little return of planter heel pain and am still trying to get it worked out. I will continue to remain a SOLE customer however because of all of my past successes. When you are 68 years old and have always worked on your feet, you realize that your days with out foot pain have far outweighed those with and applaud the reasons why.

No more pain

I am a barefoot girl, I like to exercise my feet, and I'm a stickler for posture including movement dynamics. In spite of all the care in my body alignment, and buying no heel shoes, I still experienced pain every time I wore shoes. Up until now! Since wearing SOLE orthotics (and SOLE sandals are now my house slippers) my feet feel amazing! I have tried all sorts of premade and custom made orthotics, foot taping, etc, and nothing helped until now. I might even try heels again, on occasion! SOLE gets my highest recommendation.

Amin Rajani

Opinion

Received the product in very quick time. The product is as advertised. The only problem was the fitting. First, it is very tight to get your foot in and once you manage that, the fitting is extremely tight, especially with your small toe being squeezed. Yes I did buy the right size and have not had any problems with other products that I have purchased. Unfortunately since it was bought on final sale I can not return it.

Walking in clouds

I use these for my military job and when I say it's helped my knee pain and foot issues, it's a complete 180 degree change. I was prescribed a pair during basic training and have finally bought new ones. They lasted almost 8yrs in boots for me and are extremely comfortable. You guys definitely saved my military career.

Julia Onderwater

Love them!

I really like these - I like these more than my 400 dollar custom orthotics. My favourite thing about them is that they make my gait feel more natural. I've always had foot/ankle problems, including overpronation, peroneal tendonitis, os trigonum issues, etc. I always feel awkward when I walk. These help my bad foot do that natural heel-to-toe motion properly. Overall, they reduce my foot and ankle pain a lot - I can't believe how affordable they are. Only problem is that now I hate walking without them.

Great sole

Comfortable. Molded to my foot. No rubbing or red pressure spots. Made sneakers better than ever. Loved the materials. Durable.

Sarah Grant

Love Love LOOOVE

I work in a hospital and i spend up to 12 hrs a day walking on nasty cement floors , I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot, and these insoles have SAVED ME!! After only a couple of weeks of having them in my work shoes my pain level is DRASTICALLY REDUCED! If you suffer ANY foot pain you can't go wrong with SOLE, just give their products a chance. You WONT REGRET IT!

Great insole

I have very flat feet and have struggled with foot injuries because of it. This insole with the met pad feels a bit different at first but ultimately relives my foot pain I have had for years. These insoles offers such great support. I have been fitted for very expensive custom inserts from my foot doctor but I hate wearing them. My custom made inserts are hard as a rock no padding and squeak like crazy. I have worn my SOLE inserts for a few weeks now and I'm sold on these. I love them. I have since bought two more pairs and sandals from SOLE. I hope they are all just as great. I'm so glad I found this company. Life changing.

They're great!

My right foot has problems; a pronounced bunion and no arch at all. When I walk, it's like walking on my ankle, and is painful. At the end of the day, there's a huge swelling on the outside side of that foot. I have been through so many insoles I've lost count. None provide support where it's needed; they concentrate on being squishy, and what I need is firm support. I bought your insoles on a chance, fully expecting that they'd be the same as all the others. WOW! They weren't! They were firm at the arch and helped counteract the flatness. They're comfortable! The only thing missing is a wedge on the inside side of my heel, to tilt the whole foot outwards. Thanks people! I love them.

great product

I was given this information from a friend and decided to try SOLE as nothing else has worked for my constant foot pain. After putting the Active Thin Wide one in my loafers that I had not been able to wear for very long at a time, I can now wear when shopping, for longer stretches of time. My feet still hurt but at least I can walk with less pain. Thank you for your product.

Fabulous foot comfort

I really don't like squishy inserts. I have high arches and a narrow heal and these help cup my heal and support my arch. They are now in my running sneakers, shoes, and hiking boots. I won't wear shoes without them if I'm going to be on my feet for hours!

Jo Flower

No More Foot Pain

I am very thankful to my co-worker that suggested SOLE insole. I was having terrible foot pain in my toe area. I tried wider toe boxes which helped a small amount but after wearing the Softec Response insoles for a week or so I no longer have any foot pain! I highly recommend them to everyone I know!

JANA M ANDERSON

return customer

no complaints here, this is my second pair [1st pair is still going strong, I just got sick of switching insoles every time I switch my shoes, and these have a little more cushion which is appreciated]. I have very high arches that lead to a foot injury last summer and stopped me in my tracks. My podiatrist recommended insoles all the time, not only while running. I'm able to walk/hike/backpack/run/race comfortably now, and I appreciate that SOLE is sustainably minded.

Dylan Robertson

Versatile Insole for a Great Price

I've been buying SOLE foot beds for years now and have used them in a variety of applications : hunting, cross country skiing, mountain biking, trial running and hiking. I love the heat moldable feature as well. I am grateful for the quality of SOLE!

Leigh

Cute and comfy

I received my flips a month ago and practically haven't taken them off (I wear them like slippers around the house then outside in the yard) . They are casual, sexy looking, completely neutral and give a nude look to my feet! They stay on my feet quite well when I'm walking, but I would love another pair with a back strap so that I could do some serious walking with them. And most importantly - absolutely no foot pain!

Incredible

I've suffered from hip pain and tarsal tunnel syndrome for years. Then I read about supination, which is walking on the outside of your foot. I realized I did that and looked up ways to correct it. SOLE's website came up and I ordered what was recommended. After just TWO DAYS my hip pain had receded to the point where I barely noticed it. I also found that my tarsal tunnel syndrome symptoms (caused by nerve compression in the ankles) were drastically reduced. When I took off my shoes and socks to go to bed, I was amazed that I could actually feel the texture of the carpet under my feet for the first time in years. AFTER TWO DAYS! I immediately ordered a second pair. It's rare that I've been so satisfied with a product, especially one ordered online. THANK YOU SOLE!!!

Great for running

I have high arches and was having pain under the ball of my foot. These insole fixed that immediately. Highly recommended.

works great

I had purchased the red SOLE insoles on the advice of a foot Dr. (I needed met pads but not found on the red ones) I found them so thick that my shoes were tight. I had no clue that there were grey ones that were thinner so tried them and they work great! I would advise anyone that needs thinner and especially with met pads to try these out. They are comfortable and thin!

Feet are in love

I purchased a variety of SOLE products for all of my shoes. Boots, running shoes, work sneakers, casual sneakers. I did the oven/heated custom fitting as recommended, and the SOLEs have formed to my feet perfectly (I have a medium arch). I'm finally at a place where I love putting on any shoe and moving around without pain and discomfort. I can finally purchase stylish shoes without looking like I rolled out of the foot doctor! My running game is back on, and the impact absorbing material doubles my recovery time. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone.

Randy Bouchard

Great Insoles

I have had foot and ankle pain for years. I was using expensive orthodics untill I found these insoles. When I first received them I compared them to my expensive insoles they were almost the same. The arch height was the same - the only difference I could see was the heel cup was not quite as deep. The thickness was a little softer. In my opinion these are better then the expensive ones. I have them in all my shoes and work boots.

Gail D. Gurney

Fallen Arch Saver!

Could not survive without these insoles. Showed them to my foot doctor years ago and he was even impressed. Keep up the good work!

Michaele S Rosen

Orthotics

I've been using SOLE orthotics for years and have not had a foot problem. Previously I suffered from plantar fascitis. The only question came from an orthopedist friend who questioned the benefit of stepping into the orthotic to mold it to your foot. She said that the right was to mold an orthotic was to create the correct foot stike, not just mold the misaligned one. But, so far, so good.

So far so good!

Originally I bought these to alleviate toe pain from an old turf toe injury. I liked that they are made from recycled cork and that they are molded to my foot. They fit great in my On Cloudboom runners without a need to trim them. I've had them for about a month and, granted I haven't done much for long distance, I haven't experienced any toe pain and really like the added support they provide. Only issue is I notice they make a low squeaking noise when I walk. Don't really notice it when I run though.

Rachelle Lee

Game changer

I have had several foot surgeries and have lived with foot pain for years. My SOLE inserts have been a game changer for me. My pain is much better and I can do more active things again!

Christine M Brewer

technical review

My name is Chrissy Brewer and I am a Certified Pedorthist and a Certified Orthotic Fitter and I love SOLE flips and slides. I have been a fitter for over 27 years and many people just want something easy to put on and lets their feet breathe, especially in the summer. The way SOLE supports the foot and the way it aligns the body is exceptional. I recommend them to anyone who wants sandals and I also recommend them to the diabetics I fit for shoes to help them stay compliant with wearing something on their feet, even when they get up at night to go to the bathroom. I wear them myself and have gotten them for all of my family. Make more, they run out of stock quickly and don't ever stop, I wouldn't know what to do without mine. :)

A MUST HAVE!

Love, Love, Love these insoles! Was recommended to them initially by a sports doctor for my son's bout with Sever's 2 years ago. They truly helped him get through that time, until he grew out of the illness. It didn't stop there for us, however. They are in every sneaker I own as well as my son's. I walk 5 miles or more a day, at least 3 times per week and my son is a very active teenager with baseball and other sports. They are well made and insure incredible comfort in our footwear but for us, also help with foot and leg fatigue due to our athletic lifestyles. I cannot recommend them enough. At this point, they are so crucial in our footwear, I stock up on them to insure they're here waiting in our home for any new sneaker purchases that come in, a MUST HAVE!

Offers Stability

I have paralysis in both of my lower legs and feet. The insole provides arch support and stability. Otherwise I would stand and walk on a hard, flat carbon fiber footplate. The insole provides support arch support and decreases nerve pain. Also prevents my foot from moving side to side within my shoe.

Walk again

Can finally walk again without foot pain. I now own six pairs of these in all the different styles. Will not walk out the door without them.

Paul J Faulkner

Worth every penny

I feel Softec Ultra insoles have saved me from a lot of foot problems as I have gotten older. We have high arches and am on our feet a lot. We are in our 60's. I first bought them in a military clothing store. Many military members were using them during overseas deployments. I used them during my deployment. I have tried some of the other types, but come back to the SOLE Softec Ultra. It's been over 15 years and I have some of the original soles in boots that don't receive lot of use. Now my wife is sold on them. She had a pair of hiking boots ready to be thrown out. I replaced the factory insole with a Softec Ultra thick and she said they felt like a new pair of boots! We don't heat them, but let them form to our feet over time. They are expensive, but save money over the long run.

just the right product :)

I needed some new insoles. My friend told me how her new pair of SOLE Active inserts way fixed her foot pain and showed me her pair. They looked exactly like what an active shoe insert should look like so I bought a pair. Wow! What a difference! New life to my old shoes. Better life to my hiking boots and way happy feet to my work boots, all from one new pair of SOLE Active inserts. I've had 'em for about 2 months. They're durability seems to be great (looking forward). The fit is good for 4 out of 5 pairs of my footwear. And yes, they are comfortable! My fifth pair is just a bit small for the insert so I have to stay with my old pair of inserts. Exceeded my expectations for comfort. In my opinion, BUY 'EM!! They work!

Active Thick

Product is very good. Really helped with my foot pronation. I have been wearing them every day for about 6 months. They are made of a pretty robust material so I think they will last for a long time

A new beginning

I have suffered with a left foot Morton's Neuroma for years. I could never hike more than 4 miles (with or without backpack)....UNTIL NOW!! These inserts are no joke and there is absolutely no hype in the claims. Proof? I just returned from a backpacking trip to Sedona, AZ & the Grand Canyon with newly installed Active Thick with Met pad. It was trial under fire. Result? Zero foot pain....and I mean ZERO. Canyon hike alone was 16 miles with steep descent and ascent. That hike was followed up with long hikes in Sedona...again with zero foot pain SOLE is truly a game changer and I highly recommend them!! - Charles Dyke, Winthrop, ME

Works very well for my metatarsal pain

After an increase in snow shoeing and cross country skiing frequency, I began to feel acute pain in my metatarsal head when walking, especially barefoot on hard surface, but then it progressed to walking at all times unless I taped my foot to lift the metatarsal heads. It's tough to tape your skin daily so it was time to finally get orthotics. I bought a thin pair with met pad for my every day shoes and the thick ones with met pad for running. With the insoles I was able to KEEP running in spite of the injury (although I taped at the same time at first) but soon stopped the tape and the orthotics alone were enough to give me relief. After about 6-8 weeks it had healed enough that I could walk barefoot indoors occasionally without pain. I still prefer to wear the insoles on a daily basis as my transverse arch has chronically dropped and it is more comfortable to walk/run with them supported by the insoles. I am also a physiotherapist and I recommend these SOLE moldable arches as a first resort before spending hundreds of dollars on custom orthotics. Great service also!

The Best Foot Support

I have severe flat feet and this support is the ONLY one that actually works for me. I have been wearing this support for over 10 years now. I hope they never discontinue this GREAT support!

A little hard

I have two pairs of the Catalina Sport flip and just love them. However, the cork sole for me on this pair are a little hard. I am older and need more padding for wearing all day at work. Nice and narrow footbed and stay on my foot well. Look great!

Worth it

These insoles for plantar fasciitis work great. I've had PF for over 5 years and have tried everything. Rested, stretched, iced, and even bought $300 professional insoles from the podiatrist office after they scanned my foot for perfect shape. These insoles worked just as good as the $300 pair for much less money. Buy them. Follow the instructions and heat them in oven before stepping in them for a perfect fit.

Nice product

I'm on my feet a lot between work and activities. I've had knee and foot issues over the years so I've tried a few options including custom orthotics. I don't know that these will make all my issues go away but they have helped and they are more comfortable than my custom orthotics that cost 10x the price.

Love these SOLEs!

I've used my SOLEs for years and just reordered for my new sneakers. I love them, super comfortable, great support, easily fits inside any tennis shoe.. most importantly, I have plantar fasciitis and they save me from foot pain daily!!

No more foot pain

I have for many years used support insoles. I was using the Barefoot Science product and really liked it. The reason for the change was price. I decided to look around for an alternative support. I was looking for a Canadian product and the bonus was SOLE used recyclable material. I decided to try a couple or pairs and I am very satisfied. I walk to and from work with a backpack for about 2 Km each way. I've been doing this for about ten years. I started to suffer from foot pain (plantar F) because I was carrying more in the backpack. I'm happy to say that since using SOLE my the foot pain is almost totally resolved. The Performance Mediums I purchased for my golf shoes. I also purchased Thins for my dress shoes and about six pairs of Thick for walking shoes and snow boots. I also bought slip on shoes that I use for slippers, they are great. I recommend the product to all the sore feet. Thank you SOLE!

10 thousand kms and counting

Stumbled onto the Signature DK responses 8 years ago at the early stages of my appalachian trail thru hike. I had undergone an achilles tendon surgery and was quite nervous about my foot. Tried these on in North Carolina, fell in love with them, and walked the rest of the 4 million plus footsteps to the finish line, 2000 +miles later. I've now hiked well over 10 thousand + kms world wide since and every one of those footsteps have been with the support of SOLE foodbeds. I have size 9 wide feet that pronates on one feet and supinates on other due to my injury. To make it more interesting, one foot is slightly smaller and flatter in arch than the other. These footbeds are so perfect as they custom mold to my feet which changes in width throughout the course of a lengthy thru hike. The Performance Wide and Active Mediums work really well for me. I can't wait to test them out tree planting this summer in a totally different environment and footwear conditions.

Saved my snowboard boots

Had foot pain when wearing my snowboard boots. Replaced the old liners with these and the pain is gone! Super comfortable, I can't recommend them enough!

Focus on strength and support

If you are one of those people that, like myself, you can hear them before you see them because they walk so heavy on their feet then these are the perfect modality! They help with the heavy foot impact that can have just as heavy impact on the rest of the body. Just the right amount of strong cushioning and support for those of us that love to take long walks and enjoy the scenery without discomfort!

Great for chef shoes

Bought them for my son who as a chef works 11 hours on his feet. Previously his socks would shred under the balls of his feet from all the pressure and cause a lot of foot pain in that area. After using the active medium pads he can't believe how much better his feet feel! He wants pairs for his non work shoes because his feet ache without them.

Bunion Suffering, Foot Care Nurse Recommended

I have had bunions since the age of 13 and am now 36 likely related to flat foot arches. I first purchased one of these insoles to place inside my K-Swiss shoes (which I purchase in men's sizes despite being a women due to the larger toe box) a few years ago. I absolutely love these insoles. LOVE. LOVE THEM! I have had virtually no bunion-related pain since using these in my work shoes when previously I was on the surgical wait list for bunion removal surgery. For more context, I am a nurse who works acute care; 12 hour shifts most of which is spent speed walking through the unit. I can't say enough good things about these insoles. My feet are no longer in excruciating pain by the end of my shifts -- and this has remained true through the 2-3 years that I have used them. I am still happily using my first purchased SOLE insole in my work shoes and ended up buying another pair for a video review and to use in a new pair of work shoes that I am currently breaking in. I tell EVERYONE about these insoles because I love them so much.

Very happy!

I broke my foot 6 months ago (Lisfranc mid foot multiple bone and ligament injury) and the recovery has been brutal. I tried many therapies, but the constant aches and pains have not yet gone away. The SOLEs made such a big difference for me, I no longer wake up with stiffness in my mid arch and toes, it helped tremendously! Very very happy I found these, thank you!

Substitute for average custom orthotics

I've been wearing 3/4 custom orthotics for 15 years. Many of us who have them, got them for arch lift/support to address plantar fasciitis or mild to moderate pronation, or general foot soreness and fatigue with activity. There's nothing that special about these $500 custom inserts (unless you have a very specific, hard-to-correct problem) that a thoughtfully designed, non-custom insert cannot help with. SOLES are it. I have Active Med, Thick, and Thin for different shoe types with Met Pad. They work for all my activities - hiking, walking, jogging, or just standing in the kitchen. The quality is excellent, no fraying around the edges, resist odors. Once in my shoes, I forget about them. Met Pad: it's minimal. I can't tell the difference between a SOLE insert I have without it and the ones with it. For a reference point, the German shoe maker Finn Comfort makes cork orthotic inserts for their shoes (standard) with a metatarsal hump that is more substantial and you can feel the difference.

My sole inserts

I have been wearing SOLE inserts for a few months now. I stand all day at my job and the inserts seem to conform to my foot and take a lot of the pressure off. They are very durable and hold up in my shoe. I play tennis and they don't slide around and help with protecting my heel.

Danny Ceacon

Encouraged

A couple of years ago my brother started telling me about how much he enjoyed both the SOLE insoles and some of their footwear that he had started wearing. Since that time he has made repeated purchases and continued to rave about how much better his legs felt when using/wearing their products. I have suffered with serious back issues for half of my life and finally decided to give your insoles a try placing them in a good sturdy pair of Salomon hiking shoes. While my back issues continue I have to say I find I'm able to walk further and with less discomfort than was previously the case. I did purchase 3 pairs of insoles and will be using them in my other footwear. I like that I am able to heat the insole making it more pliable and better able to conform to my particular foot dynamics.

Joe Byrnes

I am a cyclist and I have been having knee and metatarsal joint pain for over a year. When walking my left foot tends to land on outside edge first and then collapses towards inside. This puts a lot of stress on my left knee and met joint especially when I am on the bike. I read about cycling shoe insoles and SOLE was highly recommended. I decided to try and ordered a pair of Active Thins with Met Pad. What a difference they made in a week. I wear them in my cycling shoes and metatarsal pain has decreased a great deal. My knee also tracks straight as opposed to making an elliptic travel during up and down strokes. Met Pad in my case helped a lot. Despite my left leg being the stronger one I was only able to push 32% on the bike. It's almost at 50% right now. I guess my foot was all over the place. I ordered a medium ones for my walking shoes and they work great also. It has been only 10 days but the difference is big. Custom molding them is very easy, great soles at very affordable price. I highly recommend this product.

Foot pain no more

I have purchased 2 SOLE cork foot beds now and I will never buy another brand. Last year when I was experiencing foot pain in my functional fitness shoes I decided to give them a try. I was sold nearly immediately. They confirmed to my foot and soon after all of my pains and aches had disappeared. There was no question in my mind when the insoles of my beloved boots folded up that I replace them with the Thin footbed. Nothing short of amazing. I could stand all day without issue. I only wish I could have these in every pair of shoes I own. On the fence? Don't be. You'll be glad you tried these.

Can't live without them

I have really high arches and having to wear steel toe work boots for 10 hours a day is excruciating. I've been using SOLE insoles for years now and I can't imagine wearing my boots without them. I recently tried the Met Pad version and it helps with the pain I would occasionally get in the outside area of my foot right below the toes. These insoles are thick so make sure there is plenty of room in the toe box if you plan on using them.

Great for sneakers; too thick for Crocs

I am recovering from hip replacement surgery and have learned that I need arch support to correct my leg alignment from "duck-footed" to straight ahead. This Active Thick SOLE with Met Pad is perfect support for my daily walks when placed inside my sneakers. I first tried them inside my Crocs, my "inside shoes," and this was painful, as the Crocs have surprisingly little give. So now I know I need a Medium thickness with Met Pad for Crocs, Thick with Met Pad for sneakers. I don't know how I managed without this support for so long! Thank you, SOLE.

Met Pad is awesome

Tried a SOLE with Met pad this time - it has really helped with my foot neuropathy. It has gone from frequent to occasional since I started using it.

Best walking SOLEs

I had been wearing my Thick SOLEs for about a month now, unbelievable. I have 2 dogs so I am walking twice a day 7 km total, no foot pain, it all resolved. Prior to Thick SOLEs I had good runners on but always had heel etc .pain, these SOLEs are life savers, I also have slim ones for my flat shoes and medium for my high boots, I love them all and they all work for a different shoes.... very well made. With the thick SOLEs I will order half size bigger my runners... the comfort is so amazing for my walks... love my SOLEs!

Mona Doney

Happy feet

I work 8 hours a day on my feet on concrete floors and at the end of the day my feet and legs are tired! The SOLE Work insoles fit easily into my shoes and molded to me foot shape perfectly (I used the warm oven method they recommend). They definitely support my arches and help my feet and legs to feel a little springier at the end of the day! Great value for insoles that work just as well as my orthotics.

Relief from pain

I was already feeling metatarsal soreness which would be relieved with a taping technique I used. I was considering orthotics since taping my feet regularly was starting to irritate my skin. Then with winter boots and a cross country ski day, I further irritated my left foot and was feeling sharp pain at my first metatarsal head. I ordered the Active Thin with Met Pad and instantly could walk without the pain. This is helping me walk more normally again. Customer service was AMAZING when I had an issue with the medium thickness pair I ordered. Definitely recommend this product! The shaping of the orthotic in the oven was actually very easy to do also. Happy customer here!

Foot pain no more

I have purchased 2 SOLE cork foot beds now and I will never buy another brand. Last year when I was experiencing foot pain in my functional fitness shoes I decided to give them a try. I was sold nearly immediately. They conformed to my foot and soon after, all of my pains and aches had disappeared. There was no question in my mind when the insoles of my beloved boots folded up that I replace them with the Thin footbed. Nothing short of amazing. I could stand all day without issue. I only wish I could have these in every pair of shoes I own. On the fence? Don't be. You'll be glad you tried these.

Exactly what we needed! So happy we found these :)

Bought these for my mom as she's been using SOLE inserts since she injured her foot/leg. The local shoe store she usually gets them from recommend her the medium active & price gauged them. Active Medium have been working for her, but coming straight to the website we found so many different options & she herself picked these Thick ones out. Got them quick & she loves them. We will continue to order these from here for now on. Even though she has surgery in March to correct her foot issues, we're ordering a second pair for my house. She NEVER takes her shoes off (her arch is really bad) due to the pain, so we're putting them in some recovery sandals and then she'll have a pair for inside and outside. Very satisfied with the quality, fit, and quick delivery.

P Festing-Smith

Very functional

These boots are super waterproof. I have foot neuropathy and the souls provide great comfort. Lightweight and very easy to slip on, make these my go to wet weather boot. Liked them so much, I bought a second pair.

Greet insole for cycling

I use these for cycling and they've turned a once so-so pair of shoes into very comfortable shoes that i can use on 3+ hour rides. I used to get pain on the outside side of my foot after a few hours but this insole has helped get rid of it. Plus my higher archer know feel nice and supported.

Too Thick

I have metatarsal pain that hasn't gone away for months, so I tried these soles out. I ordered them originally for my work boots, but they were too thick. So I've tried them in every shoe and boot I own and they are too thick to wear in anything. I actually twisted my ankle going down some stairs trying to wear them with a pair of sneakers because my foot was too high in the shoe and my ankle wasn't supported. They would be really comfortable and help me if they weren't SO thick. I wish I hadn't bought them.

Best insoles ever

These insoles are excellent. I had to give up my daily 8 Km walks for 8 days and ride the stationary bike because of extreme pain from metatarsalgia in my right foot. This condition had been undiagnosed but getting worse over the last few years and I googled the symptoms, which brought me to your website. I followed the oven instructions and fitted the insoles in place of the factory insoles and began using them that day. The met pad made a 100 percent difference and I am now pain free when I walk or hike. I have a pair in my hiking boots and my trail shoes. My only regret was that I had not found your company 5 years ago when the metatarsalgia started.

Evelyn McNaughton

Great footwear

I was on the hunt for a shoe that has no latex in them. I have foot psoriasis. These shoes are the most comfortable with cork soles. I can wear them all day with no flair up. You've got to try them! I was skeptical at first but no doubt SOLE shoes are worth every penny!

Didn't help

I'm a bit disappointed with my 2 pairs of Sole insoles I bought a few months ago, for the purpose of easing pain with a morton's neuroma. I specifically got 2 pairs with the Met pads because reviews were pretty good. I don't know if it's because I have high arches, but the med pad didn't do anything to help with my foot pain. It feels like the pad needs to be much more pronounced. I might just add an additional met pad onto the sole myself. They are really comfortable insoles, but not worth the money for me at all.

Roy R Plana

Good boot to provide support when outdoors

Bought the boot since I needed stability support for my flat feet and one I could use outdoors in the winter. I have the SOLE shoe and because of the support quality, using the boot will allow me to use it during winters in Wisconsin. SOLE shoes have shown to last long as far as continuous foot support and keeping its wear and tear quality.

Cycling Shoes and Ski Boots

I have these in my road cycling shoes and they've eliminated any discomfort and keep my feet feeling good on century+ length rides. My 11 year old son complained of foot pain in his ski boots so we inserted a pair and he's commented on the comfort ever since. The Met Pad is particularly important for me and not something I've been able to find in any other option. Great products I will continue to buy well into the future.

Best non custom footbed!

I am a retired Physical Therapist and this is the best foot bed I've ever purchased!

Majid Goodarzi

Great product

Amazing product I don't get back pain like I had before and no cramp foot and legs i highly recommend this product I got 3 insole and 2 sandals and can not be happier . Thank you SOLE!

Thank Heavens for these insoles!

Oh I'm so happy to have found these insoles! I've struggled with plantar fasciitis pain for the last year or so. I've tried wearing a walking boot 24/7, wearing a variety of different night splints, and have tried a couple of different insoles, and these have made the most difference! I love that the SOLE Active Thin w/Met Pad fit into more of my shoes than the other insoles (the size 8 pad fits perfectly in all my size 8 and 8.5 shoes), and after wearing them for a little more than a week, my foot pain is GREATLY REDUCED! While I can't speak to the longevity/long term use of these insoles, I'm optimistic and I've planned on order a couple more sets so I don't have to take them in and out of different pairs of shoes.

Love it!

I have plantar fasciitis and it was bad enough that even my running shoes didn't feel good after a few hours. I got these insoles about a month ago and my foot pain is gone! Unbelievable, been fighting this for two years and wish I'd pulled the trigger and bought them sooner. Totally worth every penny.

Morton’s Neuroma Reflief

I've been trying different insoles from different companies for over a year trying to find one that worked. This one does! It fits in my runners perfectly without filing them up with too much padding on the bottom. The metatarsal pad and arch support really improve the discomfort of the neuroma. I've been exercising in them for 2-3 weeks and I've noticed a huge improvement in my foot pain lessening. Easy to break in.

Happier feet healthier pets

We offer a pair of SOLE to dog owners who commit to a weight control program for their pet. We are excited to help improve foot comfort so that the owners are not inhibited from exercising their dog. Our dog owners and their dogs are getting healthier one step at a time. Thank you SOLE!

Joint pain went from a 7 to a 1

I've had lower extremity joint pain for years (I'm only 19), including patellofemoral syndrome and foot supination. Putting these in my work shoes has changed the game for me, truly: I noticed an immediate difference and my pain has subsided in the two months that I've been wearing the inserts. I chose to let the inserts mold to my feet over a few days and they worked perfectly. They give the shoe more of a firm footbed, which I like. 100% would recommend and would buy again.

narrow but crazy comfortable

i was surprised at how narrow these were in the toe box. even for my Nikes that run on the narrow side my big toe slips off the edge. that being said i will not be taking them out of my Nikes any time soon. they are so comfortable! I feel like my foot is being hugged. I originally bought them for my Altra hiking boots but I'm glad they found a home in my other shoes. I will be ordering them in wide for the boots soon.

The BEST

Absolutely love them. I have had problems with my feet for a few years now, and found it a pain to switch my orthodics which are very expensive from show to shoe. I have SOLE insoles in all my footwear now and have no issues with foot pain any longer.

Perfect Comfort

I had surgery for a torn posterior tibial tendon which caused my arch to drop. I needed something that would form to my foot while having solid arch support. I've been wearing SOLE inserts for my shoes for about 2 years now. I absolutely love them! They are so comfortable. I like that I don't even need to trim them down to fit my shoes. I have recommended SOLE to family and friends.

Comfortable

I have an arch problem and subsequent foot pain. This cork based support provides good cushioning and has reduced any pain I formerly had. I would buy again

Very comfortable

I have arch problems and foot pain. This Active Thick product is nicely cushioned and provides excellent support. I have had no pain since wearing them. I would definitely buy them again.

Quality footbed

I use SOLE foot beds for a variety of applications and now own several pairs. I appreciate their support and heat molding capabilities.

Arlene M Wilson

Why pay 500.00 dollars when you can wear SOLES

I have had plantar fasciitis and achilles problems. After trying many things the doctor decided that I needed to see a foot doctor. I then purchased insoles at 500.00 dollars which in a bit of time worked. The sad part is before my 500.00 expense I had purchased your product but did give your SOLEs enough time to work. The foot doctor asked me what I had tried and I told him SOLEs and he asked how long had I used them for. I then knew I could have saved me money and pain I have recommended them to my sister and friends. I recently bought a pair for my son as a Christmas gift, (he wears the 500.00 ones! and I told him SOLEs where as good) I have purchased them from a couple of stores in Winnipeg (Canadian footwear and Legacy) before buying direct from you. I like the thin SOLEs because they fit nicely in my shoes with great support as I wear them in all my shoes every day. Great product

Samuel Lightowler

Amazing Insoles

I suffered from plantar fasciitis for almost a year. I would limp in pain when I got out of bed in the morning. I would hobble when I walked. I had tried other insoles but they only gave me temporary relief. Then I tried these insoles. They saved my feet! Within 2 weeks the pain was gone. I could walk and move without pain. The insoles fit like a glove. I can now walk 18 holes of golf and suffer no pain that day or the next. I have them in all my shoes and now I can say goodbye to foot pain. For over a year now. They work!

Saved my feet

I have had orthotics made for me, I found them so uncomfortable and my foot slid around on them. These SOLEs saved my from so much pain. My feet and knees have never felt better. Not only that but they fit in most shoes so easily because they aren't big and bulky. I don't leave home without them now and will use them forever. Highly recommend!!

Incredible

I purchased these for cross country and downhill skiing, as I have flat feet and suffer arch pain. Since the first time I wore these I have not suffered from arch pain or cramping. Bonus is that my feet are less tired; I no longer have pain radiating from my heels and under the ball of my foot after skiing. Absolutely transformative experience

Niral Merchant

Excellent Product

As a long term sufferer of flat feet and plantar fasciitis, foot pain used to be my norm. I then discovered custom orthotics but with limited application and use. When I discovered SOLE my life changed! I could go back to doing all of the things I loved. And wear multiple types of shoes and sports equipment! SOLE products are amazing and my go-to now! Thanks

Saved my feet!

I have been a SOLE wearer for about 15 years. During my first pregnancy, I had the worst Plantar Fasciitis and could barely walk. A local store recommended that I put a pair of sole insoles inside every pair of shoes...and it worked. Completely cured my foot pain. Thanks SOLE!

Happy Feet

I love the SOLE products. I have high arches and find these inserts to be support my feet perfectly! As my foot changes or I change athletic shoe, I can also adapt the sole to my needs. I highly recommend this product for all active activities. My feet are so happy!

Cork is the way

I've tried many of the SOLE products now and I found the cork footbeds to be the best. I'm not sure why exactly, but I have much less foot pain with this bed. I feel a little spring back with them, a little shock absorbing. Cork is unique and none of the other pads feel this way. Sadly I see REI is closing them out, I hope that doesn't mean this product is EOL.

My second pair

I purchased it at the recommendation of my dr for my foot issue! These are the first real soles with a good enough arch to support my arches! My foot is getting better, especially when I'm wearing my SOLE footbeds! This is the second pair I bought and since it work so well for me I bought them for my son and husband, my son is a wear house worker so they were good for his work boots!

Colleen Burke Thomas

First time and feels great

With a recent foot injury, I was recommended SOLE products. In discussions it was found these would be best fit and value. I find them comfortable and am happy to support a Canadian company with high values in ethical products

Michelle Erika Lange

4th Pair - Love Them!

I love these flip flops, and have bought multiple pairs over the years. I wear them every day (I'm in a warm climate) and they hold up pretty well. They REALLY help with my feet (bunions) and ankle problems. Since I've purchased SOLE products my foot pain is a thing of the past. I was super skeptical when my doc said I should wear supportive footwear only. I really didn't believe it. But now I do. SOLE is the ticket!

Stacey

Comfortable and functional

I have terrible foot pain if the ball of my foot is constricted at all and these slides are super comfortable and cause me no pain. Yet they stay on well even though they are not constrictive. I am very happy with them.

Susan Pederson

Even better than the rest of my SOLE sandals

Due to back and foot issues, I have been wearing SOLE flip flops exclusively for over 10 years, which explains why I own more than 10 pairs! These are sleeker and lighter than the ones I normally wear and I love them so much that I am wearing them inside instead of slippers. I have one leg slightly longer than the other, so my shoemaker fits the right one with a lift - not something you can do with cheap sandals. They are sporty yet delicate enough to wear with a dress. I have already ordered another pair! I am so glad my best friend, who was dealing with a foot injury, turned me onto these. My sister, who also has foot issues, is now a fan thanks to me. I bought her a pair for Christmas this year, because she wears the ones I bought her exclusively as well. All this style, and the reduction of pain makes life super sweet.

Rex seawright

My favorite shoe

I was at a bicycle race in Big Bear CA several years ago. I needed a pair of flip flops and saw a retailer selling SOLE flip flops. I thought they were fairly expensive compared to what I have paid in the past. I tried them on and decided to make the purchase. They were so comfortable I decided to challenge myself. How long can I wear them day after day. I wore them to work, weekends for three months. Unbelievably comfortable. I bought a second pair. My first pair is tan and do have a different foot pad then the second pair. My favourite is the tan pair I am finding them harder to find. None the less, I am sold on SOLE flips flops.

Not as sturdy as expected

I'm a huge fan of the metatarsal orthotics from Sole. However, the ones made with cork are not as sturdy. I followed the exact instructions for forming these orthotics to my foot, and heated it for less than 2 minutes until the indicator turned black. When I took it out, the cork insert had separated from the orthotic. This has never happened to me with multiple pairs made with synthetic material. These should not be heated as the materials cannot withstand it, and the directions should state that. I did not heat/form fit the other pair I bought, and have not had a problem.

Brian Mccarthy

Custom orthotic hiller

After a diagnosis of low arches by a podiatrist I was putting $350.00 orthotics into my shoes. This meant romoving the original insole and buying larger shoes to get my foot and orthotic into the shoe. I compared the arch height and support of the orthotic to the SOLE product. They were the same! So my first purchase were in my work boots for one year. The same support as the ororthotics but with a more comfortable fit. These things are great. Easy to trim to match the "footprint" of the original insole. Super comfortable. Super supportive. Great price.

They beat custom inserts

I have been wearing SOLE inserts for 3 years now. I am very flat footed and have tried many different kinds of custom inserts, never getting the relief I have found using SOLE. I am on my feet many hours of the day, on a cement floor and uneven grounds. My feet are much happier using SOLE than my custom inserts. This time I tried the Met Pad and it is even better! I bought 2 more right away. If you haven't tried SOLE inserts yet, you should definitely give them a try. You won't regret it.

Beyond expectations!

I bought these for my boyfriend who has struggled with foot pain due to having flat feet. It's been two months since he started wearing them and they have done wonders for his pain. They fit great and seem to be holding up very well. I was hoping they would help even just a little bit but they've helped a lot and I'm very pleased with this purchase!

Niral Merchant

Awesome - Comfortable and Stylish

I used to hate wearing Flip sandals. My feet would ache due to a lack of support. This sandal is amazing because it is minimalistic and supports the arch of my foot very well. Thank you SOLE for another awesome product! I wear your products everyday in all of my footwear! My feet and hips and lower back thank you!!

Insole review

I had went to my foot doctor for a yearly checkup and had talked about the fatigue and pain of being on my feet all day and climbing ladders at work. My doctor recommended I check out the SOLE site and recommended the insole I should look at. I went on the site and ordered a couple of pair of insoles. Since wearing them for a couple of months my feet and legs are feeling much better. I could not believe the difference! I am very happy with the product and the difference it has made in my life.

Great solution to a painful foot problem

I've been using SOLE insoles for years and they have been great. I now walk over 30 miles per week and over the past 18 months, I've started to have foot pain. I do have Morton's toe and suffered with a neuroma. I tried several different approaches to support and cushion my metatarsal area but all were problematic - slipping pads, pads that didn't conform to my foot, etc. I discovered the SOLE with built in met support about two months ago. They have been a lifesaver. I have them for my walking shoes and also for my everyday shoes and they have completely erased the foot pain. I also bought a pair for my husband's walking shoes and they have worked for him as well. I highly recommend these SOLE footbeds to alleviate ball of the foot and toe pain.

LOVE

Within a few days of wearing these foot beds, my heel pain in my right foot was gone. It's so nice to walk without pain! They are comfortable and fit my shoes just right. SOLE has a repeat customer in me.

Caryn Rasnick

LOVE!!!

I absolutely LOVE these flip flops. I live in SW Florida and thus live in flip flops. There is nothing like the arch support that is in these flip flops. My plantar fasciitis does not flare when I'm wearing these...even for hours! I have a narrow foot and have problems finding flip flops that fit my feet well and I have no problem with the Balboa Flip. So comfortable. Highly recommend.

Stewart Wood

Great flips

I had a lot of foot pain from a severe case of planters fasciitis and my Podiatrist recommended wearing these SOLE flips as slippers on the hardwood and tile floors of our house. After wearing them for a few months around the house my fasciitis is 95% better. The Monetery flips fit well and are very comfortable to wear. They are very well made and look good as well.

Caroline Heuermann

No more pain!

So happy with these! Helped my toes and top of my foot feel so much better. Love that Met pad and the lining is cozy and comfy. I like the way they feel and look!

Kim J Wozniak

SOLE Sandals and Footbeds

I have been wearing SOLE sandals and using the footbeds for a number of years now and love them. I have foot issues and this is an affordable way to ensure that I have the proper support at all times. Just purchased the Mendocino Sport Slide and love them. A perfect "house" shoe. I highly recommend SOLE products, especially if you have issues with your feet or are on your feet for most of the day.

Instantly comfortable

The ball of my foot always gives me a great deal of pain. I immediately felt these helped the issue, and now that I've worn them for hundreds of hours on the job, I am going to buy them for life. My big toe was sore for a bit, as it's adjusting to proper alignment. This is easily fixed by doing toe crunches, such as picking up foam and placing it in a bowl with your toe.

Paige

Awesome insoles!

Such a great insole! I used to have superfeet insoles and they weren't the best. However, the Lifestyle Medium insoles help with my knee pain (due to pronated ankles/feet). They're also very soft and give my whole foot support, especially the arch. It fits perfectly in all my shoes, and has started to really form around my foot. I'll definitely buy them again.

Arch pain gone

I stopped using foot beds because I thought pain on the side of my foot was caused by my foot getting too wide for them and the edge was digging into it causing the pain. Turned out it was a plantars wart. Once that was gone I started having pain in my arches. Got new foot beds and within a month or so the pain was gone. these are the best foot beds out there!

Jeff Boyd

My go to shoe

My foot doctor recommended the SOLE footwear for times when I need arch support around the house, I have had 4 pair now and love the feel

Bad idea

I have used the regular arch supports for many years and they have worked well. However, I now have pain on the left side of my left foot and I was hoping that these inserts with meta pads would give me relief. This was not the solution. It made the pain worse. I am sure that these would work well for the right person.

Svetlana Bell

I would recommend

These are great. They helped with foot pain. Super comfortable right away. I also use them as house slippers.

Thomas Stewart Wood

Great footwear

I have been wearing the Monterey flips for about a year and just purchased a second pair. I had a bad case of Plantar fasciitis and started wearing these as slippers around the house and now I have very little discomfort in my foot. They are very comfortable to wear and fit really well. They are constructed with quality materials. They are the only flips I will wear now.

Inserts

This is the 3rd Pair I have bought for Ed Hicks to put I his rubber boots. Rubber boots with steel toes are hard enough to walk in but with the SOLE inserts gives the boots structure. This product is comfortable and fits the foot well.

Jillian Dickson

Comfort

Love it! Fits my foot really well. Is tighter fitting than the Costa. Costa is better if you have "tall" feet. Leather is good, after the first seeking wearing it stretches a bit and becomes more comfortable and fitted. I have tailor bunion pain and helped

Regina krinkova

Super comphy

Love those casual thin inserts, they were a bit longer in some shoes , so It is very easy to adjust the thin ends at the top of them, they fit so great snd feels marvellous when u standing all day in flats.. the cork feels soo great on bare foot also ... truly great thins, thank you SOLE!

SOLE for my Soul

I purchased the Active Wide Thick inserts for my everyday, go-to running shoes because this was a cheaper option than replacing my shoes altogether, especially the shoes themselves were still good - they just needed new beds! The Active Wide Thick inserts fit perfectly into my New Balance 860s (v10) and made my feet feel like I was stepping into a brand new pair of shoes. I'm so glad I did this! The only thing that I wish I'd done differently: placed the beds into the oven to mold them to my feet a little quicker (as prescribed in the instructions). How cool! Otherwise, my right foot for whatever reason, it took a few days to break them in as it would for any new pair of shoes. I've had my footbeds for a month now and they are so comfortable. I will continue to buy from SOLE as I have for years now. LOVE their Cork sandals too!

Cynthia Rose

Better for slender feet

I bought these shoes because I love the feel of the SOLE footbed. I ordered my usual size 8 but found the shoes to be a little short and narrow in the front so that I couldn't spread and relax the ball of my foot as well as my toes. I thought of ordering up to an 8-1/2 but decided to try the men's version in a size 7 instead. They fit perfectly as the toe box is wider and much more comfortable. Plus , I prefer having the laces to customize the fit of the shoe. The 8-1/2 women's might have worked also but, with shipping, is difficult to try on.

Karen Turner

I love this flip!

The Laguna Flip is thinner and lighter and the support is not quite as substantial as the Sport Flip. With that said, I love this flip! The footbed is cork with a non-slip surface that allows the shoe to stay on my foot, and it looks a little "dressier" than the others. The fit is right on. I will purchase this again.

Sophianne Lalancette

Love them

I was having a lot of knee hip and lower back pain, so I decided to look for "healthy" shoes. They are great! I was worried at first because the sole is quite hard, and there is a weird bump in the middle, but it is very comfortable and did help with my pain. I added a heel wedge for pronation and my pain is gone when I wear these shoes. I cut off the heel part because it made the shoes difficult to put on and take off, and folded down it was quite uncomfortable. I use these as house shoes because of my knee hip back pain so taking off and on easily is important. They stay on well even without the heel part, however I need to wear thick socks otherwise the shoes rub and it hurts. I measured my foot according to size guide and it fits fine, I think even for feet the are a bit wide they should be good

Mark wooldridge

Best ever

I've worn the cork flips for years, after I had a round of plantar fasciitis. The arch support is sturdy and comfortable, year after year. The cork flips worked to solve that foot issue. They look great and last several seasons. My satisfaction is so high, that I buy several pairs each season so I can rotate them based on beach use or casual dress use. I hope they make an indoor slipper" to keep my feet warm in the winter.

Great flip

I love the Costa Flip! Finally I can wear my favorite type of summer shoes and have excellent support for my plantar fasciitis. The fit is great and the solid black color goes with everything. Would definitely recommend this flip to anyone with foot problems. Very comfortable.

Best Orthotics

I have Rheumatoid arthritis and plantar fasciitis. These footbed have kept me in my feet! My first pair were purchased in 1995. I have purchased many since in all thicknesses. After having custom orthotics made twice and neither being satisfactory, a cobbler recommended these. What a relief. I own many pair in two sizes and thicknesses for use in different styles of shoes And highly recommend for anyone with foot or joint issues!

Foot pain

I been using SOLE inserts for two years now. I'm always on my feet at work either walking or standing around. They are comfortable and have last a long time.

Pain relief

I have arthritis in my left foot on the outside center of my foot. My doctor referred me to get these and I was skeptical about it. But since he suggested it, I got some and almost immediately felt relief from the pain. I am able to walk again without limping and without pain.

Happy Joints and Happy Feet

I am flat-footed (and pronate), and while I love thongs, they simply don't do the bottom of my feet and rest of my body any good. I usually end up with lower joint problems from my hips down to my ankles when I would wear traditional sandals. The arch support in the Costa Flip allows me to comfortably wear them (and actually walk long distances) without any pain during or after. It is such a nice change. I wear them often on walks that are often a good hour or so -- not just to wander around in! The bed has a nice amount of cushion, and I never experienced any blisters! Not even after my first wear.

Lorne Mackie

WOW!!

The first wearing of the flip was fine it did, however, take a few days to be able to wear them again given my delicate feet had to toughen up - meaning the scabs had to heal up. I equate this not to the flip but due to the fact it has been a long time since I had actually worn flip flops. The feel of the shoe is not like any other flip I have tried, given the base it is heavier but it is way more comfortable than others I have worn. I have a very high arch so I have to be picky with what I buy and the way these form to your foot is what lead me to want them in the first place. Having lived in them for several weeks now they have completely formed to my foot and make it a pleasant experience to wear flips flops again!!

Made my Summer Great!

These slides have made all the difference for me to have a fun and active summer. I have a tendinitis along the side of my foot and just like people having plantar fasciitis these slides have made it easy to go for walks on sidewalks, and on the beach. I bought a second pair to use as house shoes. My feet don't get sore when standing for a long time cooking, cleaning, etc. I recommend them to everyone I know!

Tonya D Fraser

Comfort and stability

I purchased my first pair of SOLE footwear this summer on the recommendation of a friend. I am delighted with the support my Costa Flip foot bed provides and the strength and comfort of the straps. My feet fit snuggly into the flip and walking is easy no matter what the terrain; grassy slope to the lake, rocky shoreline tippy canoe, or wet pavement in the parking lot. The flips stay one comfortably and my foot doesn't slip and slide all over the place. I love that they are environmentally responsible and designed by a Canadian company!

Mario Merlano

Slick and comfy

This pair give great arch support while looking very elegant on any foot. They can easy handle any wet, sandy or dry environment. I bought a greater size and the fit is just perfect!

Margaret R Davidson

Really nice looking shoes

I am a huge fan of SOLE footbeds. I have plantar fasciitis and had constant foot pain before discovering SOLE. I really like these Lark shoes. It is hard to find dress shoes that accommodate a sole footbed so I am happy that SOLE has expanded to making shoes. These are nice looking shoes. I am a bit concerned about how the wool will stand up to mud or rain, but I plan to mostly wear them in my office so that should not be a concern.

Linda Levenne

Healthy footwear

I have a sesamoid fracture, capsulitis of the 2nd toe and neuroma. I needed a shoe with a met pad and overall support for the healing of my foot. These shoes make a huge difference in my ability to move. Inflammation in my foot changes all the time and this footwear adapts easily with the two adjustable Velcro straps along the top of the shoe. I have been wearing these shoes for a few months and I love the fabrics used on all my Soles! I love the simplicity..... no glitz, no tassels..... I wear SOLE for my health and soul.

Excellent support and cushion

Works well for support and foot pain. Unlike prescription orthotics it cushions the large foot joints with movement. It is very good for allowing motion but giving support to the whole body. I prescribe it frequently for patients with foot pain with good results. The sandals allow support but cushioning

Alain Couture

So much comfort

They really help me with the pain that I was feeling in the middle of my foot. They give me so much support that I what to wear them all day. I highly recommand them!

Sarah D Neill

Great Flip Flop

After a few months of wearing them, my two favorite things about this flip flop are the arch support and the flexibility that the footbed has. The foam helps the footbed to be less hard on my knees than the cork bed was with my last pair of flip flops. I also like that they are so lightweight and you can also get them wet and and they don't make squeaky noises. Although they don't give me as much support as a shoe (I have basically no arch to my foot), this is the best flip flop I've found in all my searching. Definitely five star for me.

Annette T Beach

Catalina sport flip

My physical therapist recommended the SOLE shoe inserts for my court shoes due to my planter fasciitis issue in both feet. I liked the fact that the product contoured to my footprint. It was at this time that my search for a sandal began. I don't like wearing closed toe shoes all summer. So I gambled and ordered my first pair of Catalina Flips and have never been disappointed. The arch support and heel cup support my feet. I am on my 8th pair. They are my go-to sandal . The support of SOLE products were my answer - I've been foot pain free for 8 yrs!!

Sharon C Grimes

Relieves foot pain

I rely on SOLE footbeds to prevent plantar fasciitis. They're better than custom made expensive orthotics. I don't wear shoes without them.

Heel pain GONE

I went to the foot doctor and couldn't afford the 400.00 customized insoles nor did I want the steroid shot to take away my severe heel and arch pain. I asked him about the SOLE insoles he had for sale in the office and he recommended them as well so I got them. Within two days my pain level went from an 8 to a 1. Total answer to prayer and haven't had to miss work. I highly recommend them. I work for Budweiser and my supervisor was babbling around today with heel pain. I gave him the link to this site and told him to stretch his calves. Thanks for offering such a wonderful product!

Craig

Amazing fit and support!

Just got the brown ones delivered. Man ... that brown has to go ... a bit too orange. HOWEVER ... as soon as I laced them up I couldn't believe how great they feel. The support is unbelievable, it's like wearing a great-fitting ice-skate. So I put a bit of Minwax on them to darken them up and ... boom ... a nice darker brown that'll go with all jeans and a wider range of casual pants. I suffer from planter fascia and metatarsalgia and so far these are, excuse the bad pun, footing the bill. I'll definitely be ordering others in the future. P.S. I had ordered plastic sandals from SOLE in the past and they immediately hurt my feet as soon as I put them on; back they went. I took a chance on the cork footbead this time as I'm getting desperate to find good fitting shoes. You won't be disappointed, plus they have great customer support with a good return policy. I know this may sound like an ad for SOLE, but if you're like me and can't find a good pair of comfortable shoes, you'd be very positive too.

Perfection!

I needed something to support my arches and correct my flat foot. These Performance Thins fit perfect into my slippers at home. Like absolutely 100% perfect. I go from the Active Wide Thicks in my steel toed boots all day to these Performance Thins at home. What a dream. Thank you for your very detailed descriptions on what style fits what shoe.

Worth every penny

I have always used some sort of arch support in my shoes. My chiropractor suggested Yoursole.com because of the super cool way your soles support the back of the heel and the arch way. Your description of using an Active Wide for a work boot was spot on. They fit my steel toed boots like a dream. Walking 10K steps a day in these is heaven. Thank you so much for turning my flat foot syndrome back to healthy arches.

Life Changing

I love running. I was unable to run for 2 years because I had plantar fasciatis. The combination of stretching the shit out of my calves, starting super slow and super short distances, icing, and wearing the active medium foot bed as just about cured my heel pain. I still have to manage it but I am running 4-5 miles couple times a week again. Go SOLE!

Mark Rivkin

Mendocino slide upper hurt toes

My wife and I have a bunch of the footbeds which we really like, and I wanted to get something in a slide that had the same kind of support and quality. So I tried these Mendocino Slide Black in a Men's size 11, but the upper would dig into my toes when I would step forward on either foot. Maybe they would have broken in some over time, but it seemed unlikely that it would change that much and I didn't want to deal with the discomfort for however long that would have taken, so I returned them.

RESPONSE FROM SOLE:
Thank you for your honest review, Mark. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Mendocino Sport Slides. We always appreciate feedback! Hope you continue enjoying SOLE Footbeds. Take care! The SOLE Team

Jana Anderson

decent insole for high arches

I'm a distance runner coming back from a foot injury, and my podiatrist suggested searching for orthotic inserts rather than paying $$$ for custom insoles to support my very high arches. I found SOLE insoles to offer a higher arch than others on the market, and I love that these are made with recycled cork. I've been slowly starting to run again after 12 weeks off due to injury, so I've only run in these 1-2miles at a time, 2-3x/week, for the past 5 weeks, though I've also used them in casual shoes for walking. So far I like them, but am not sure they're high enough for my arches. My legs/feet are quite sore by the end of a short run [a new feeling for me, I used to be a marathoner!] but I cannot blame the insoles, this could just be from my injury. I'm happy to see that SOLE Active footbeds are now available with Met Pads, I may have to try one with more cushion! I'm just waiting for the trifecta: active + wide + met pad!

Jana Anderson

comfort + support

I'm a distance runner coming back from a foot injury, and my podiatrist doesn't want me in non-supportive footwear all summer! So any time I'm not running or sleeping, I've been LIVING in my Costa Flips, NON-STOP! [walking the dog, running errands, cooking/cleaning in the house] After 5 weeks of everyday use, I must say they are light, comfortable, and supportive. My only complaint is that the arches are not high enough for my super-high arches! There's still a gap, but they're a huge improvement over flat sandals/flip flops. I was afraid I'd be stuck in orthopedic shoes for the rest of my life, I was pleasantly surprised to find SOLE shoes are pretty cute and look forward to buying a closed-toe option this fall for the cooler weather.

Diane L Etherington

Love my Flips!!

Love them. I have Morton's Neuroma in one foot & find the molded shape is just what I needed. They are very comfortable.

MPetkerLawrie

5 stars!

Great product! I have Achilles tendonitis so wearing flip flops seems impossible now without suffering from a great deal of pain afterward. My Chiropodist recommended I try a pair of sandals from SOLE and he was correct. These flip flops are amazing. I just recently wore them for 2 full days on a vacay that required a great deal of walking each day and I had zero pain afterward. I'm impressed. I also like that they look nice / sporty and don't look plain like a lot of other sandal brands that provide foot support. 5 stars for this product!

helped foot pain tremendously!

My husband has had foot pain forever. About 15 years ago, we discovered SOLE inserts and they have helped him tremendously! He uses a pair in all his shoes.

Great insrets

I recently had a flare up of my plantar fasciitis after spending about 6 hours walking around in the woods. After about 3 weeks of foot pain I finally made a appointment with my Podiatrist. Even though it was via video conference she highly recommended getting new insoles and suggested that I get the SOLE inserts. She said they are some of the best ones on the market. I did my research on them and was surprised that they were made from recycled corks. I went online and ordered a pair of the blue ones and upon ordering them realized I submitted the order twice contacted customer service the next day and he credited my account the shipping charges as the amount of 2 pair should of been free. I was so impressed with them once i put them in my work boots the pain was almost gone within 2 days. I keep up with my daily stretching and have not had any issues in my feet ever since I inserted my SOLE inserts. I will be spreading the word about great these inserts are and have actually taken them out of my shoes and shown people them. I'm sold on SOLE.

Foot Saver

My first pair was purchased to help eliminate plantar fasciitis in my right foot. It worked! My second pair was purchased so that I wouldn't have to transfer to other shoes. My third pair was purchased for trail runners and my forth pair for golf shoes. These can handle everything and they don't mind getting wet and staying that way all day. I tried other brands as well as other SOLE styles. These are my SOLE Mates!

Active Wide Thin for Rucking

I'm primarily a Rucker; as in I have a GORUCK Rucker (or two), filled with either 20 or 30 #'s of weight in it, and I head out for timed rucks (mostly); three, four times a week and sometimes more. I shoot for 15 minute miles. So, I try and boogie when I do. I've, also, had several knee surgeries; one of which was a high tibial osteotomy and the others were scopes. So, I enjoy any and as much effective cushioning, balance, and foot help while trying to get my daily recommended cardio in, and the SOLE insoles help me. As an aside, I really enjoy the boots that the above mentioned company makes; however, only for their Tough and Light events. So, I've found myself rotating between New Balance 1080v10's (size 4e's; because my foot is that wide), Atra Torins, and occasionally my new Inov8 TerraUltra's; each, respectively, has in them an ACTIVE WIDE THIN SOLE insole; however, one has a Medium Met Pad (Orange) SOLE Insole. The common thread with these sneakers are: they are have wide toe boxes, and the Active Wide Thin SOLES have really struck the balance of excellent form fitting for me! You see, I used to enjoy running, but no more, because I'm almost 50, it hurts, and really, who LOVES running anyway, and walking for health is great, but it's not as effective as the balance that Rucking offers me; the in-between of running and fast walking, all the while getting cardio!!! Why all the explaining... Well, it is because the above mentioned SOLES have really fit the bill for my situation and what I seek. They have minimized hot spots on my met pads, they allow my toes to splay in the toe boxes, of the above mentioned shoes, and they do so very well. In addition, they offer just the right amount of comfort for me on long rucks; I attribute this to their build; without them in place, the above shoes are actually too squishy when I ruck (carry) 30 pounds of weight or more. I also do a short 45 pound ruck roughly every two weeks (between 1.5 - 3 miles only), and use the SOLES in my Atra's when I do! I would not be able to do that without the SOLES in them, and would instead use my MACV1's. So, it is nice to have that option if I want. Moreover, if you are a rucker, or in a similar situation, and are looking to do miles and miles (think a STAR 50), I recommend the ACTIVE WIDE THIN SOLES; they have served me well for the past few months, and I will continue to buy these.

Comfort and style

Very happy to find these flips from the source in Canada as I've been wearing the brand for years and had difficulty finding them locally when needing to replace them. I live in these flips indoors and out all summer and in winter they serve as my indoor footwear. Before finding SOLE flips at my orthotics provider about 7 years ago I thought I would have to wear only closed shoes and orthotics to relieve my chronic sore feet and knees . However I found that SOLE Monterey flips support my arch and look good, and I have no pain at all. I really like the cork option which I currently have but also have enjoyed the all man made version of the same flip. They are hard-wearing and last for years. I always take a pair with me when I travel for hotels room foot wear, Highly recommended.

Tracey Proulx

Great flip flops

I have really high arches and find it difficult to find a good sandal. These are great! They are very comfortable and have molded to the shape of my foot. I really love them and will definitely be purchasing other SOLE products.

Patricia Bates

nice fit

Love the color and the fit. Took a day to break in for a perfect fit - I have a high instep and flip flop tie straps seem to be tight at first. The shape / support of the foot bed work great for me. Wear all day and no knee/back tiredness. Well made and holding up well,

Kimberly A Wery

Quality of my new insoles

I am an avid walker and have used these insoles to help with the foot pain which was extreme. After using these insoles for over a year now I have almost eliminated the foot pain and make may walking journey much more manageable. I have recommended these exact insoles to a few of my walking buddies as well.

Didn’t help

Was really hoping these would do the trick and stop my foot pain. Didn’t change anything.

Sharon Gulbransen

Nice and wide

I have been buying SOLE flips for years... they have great comfort, support and if you have wide feet, these Catalina Sport foot beds are what you need!! I can walk for hours and my feet feel great . If you haven't tried Sole you should, you won't regret the purchase...worth every penny! If you have any questions the sales reps will help you select the style for you.

Nice inserts!

They were recommended to me by a friend, after I complained of knee pain when running. Overall, they greatly improve my ability to run for longer than 20 minutes without pain. I recommend this product. I went with active medium - don't see a reason to chose another kind. It fits comfortably to the foot. Again, the reason I use these is to alleviate pain from the knees, when running.

Raul A Vargas

Light and comfortable

I had foot surgery which implied a full reconstruction including ligaments and bones. I constantly use custom made insets in my shoes. I decided to try the men's Balboa Flips with the hope that they would allow me to use flip flops to stay comfortable at home and outdoors without the need if extra inserts. The have totally fulfilled my needs. The are very comfortable and fit perfectly to my foot arch. They are light and my foot has got used to them making them my preferred flips.

Mary-Gaye Pinches

Comfort Plus

The insole is perfect for my needs, I put it immediately in my asics ( that I wear for work) I am a foot care nurse. I have high arches, right bunion and prominent metatarsal head where the bunion is. The ordering process went well and I would recommend SOLE for everyone to try. Very comfortable

Shayna stott

love them

I bought the Laguna flip flop because i had foot issues. Walking 5 minutes in any other kind of flip flop style would instantly cause foot and knee pain. With the Laguna Flip I now can slip them on and go for a walk no worries. They look great too!

Ryan OReilly

Amazing comfort

The footbed comfort is unmatched by any other flip-flop I've worn without adding weight that make other more expensive flip-flops difficult to wear for long periods of time. One word of caution is the break-in period. I was overzealous and went on a 5+ mile walk the first time out, a bit of a mistake as the straps wore down my feet pretty good. After a couple more shorter walks, they've broken in nicely and have been nothing but great, I can walk forever in these now without any discomfort or foot fatigue. The hearty SOLE (ha!) ensures a long lift time for these flip-flops.

I. Sanchez

Awesome

My daughter has a fused spine from L3-T3 and is on her feet all day. She had used SOLE in the past and went on to try other brands. She asked that I order her a pair of foot beds for her new shoes (cheap walmart non slips). New foot beds were inserted into her shoes and her back pain from standing all day has gone away. Strongly recommend these inserts.

Sharon C Grimes

Met Pads

They're great. They're a bit less rigid than most SOLE footbeds and that's especially good for the shoes I put them in, which have a fairly hard foot strike. Ever since I started using SOLE footbeds, I have not had plantar fasciitis.

Kellie Wirth

Be different

These shoes are a great way to be comfortable with fashion in mind and have a different option than all the other ankle boots on the market. The sole is obviously super supportive. They fit a touch narrower than most SOLE products but I think they will actually mold to my foot perfectly.

Hilton p culpepper

men's exhale purchase

My feet have been painful for years and finally a doctor told me to try your insoles. They have been great and ever since I have been buying all types of shoes and sandals from SOLE. The Exhale shoes have the same support and comfort as their other products. The fit is good and the materials are also since I use them to work in so i would have foot support.

Work amazing

As a carpenter being on my feet all day, these insoles were the answer. No heal pain now and the insoles are very comfortable. Will be purchasing more for other foot ware.

Jonathan W

1 Month review.

I have been using SOLE products for years, mainly the inserts. I am a soldier that regularly wears combat boots for long periods. I have used Han Wags, Lowes, SWATs, Solomon, and Salewa boots over the years. I was originally recommended SOLE as I had a bad case of plantar fascitis around ten years ago. I have not had any foot problems since. So I decided to purchase a pair of shoes that I could use when not in combat boots. Its been about a month, mainly using them due to the recent COVID restrictions, and they have been performing flawlessly. Just as the insoles in my boots, they fit well, despite my right foot is slightly wider than my left. The shoes required no break-in period, and I walked 5 km when I first received them just to feel for any pinch points or friction areas. And none were found. The material is a breathable mesh which has been perfect for the warmer days. The laces are secure and have not come undone unnecessarily. The shoes come with a pair of white laces as well (not my style). Bonus - the wife thinks they look great on me, and I have received compliments from others. (Secretly, I think my wife is tired of me being in boots all the time). The verdict - Buy a pair, you will not be disappointed.

W Bradley buck

Perfect

Makes my work shoes feel like sneakers. Always impressive foot beds!

Betty

Fabulous for plantar fasciitis and everyday comfort

I bought 2 pairs of SOLE flips and they did, indeed, cure my plantar fasciitis. They prevented my foot from ever extending fully, when you get out of bed and step directly on the floor, which causes the sharp pain as the tissues that have started healing in the night get torn again and again. I put a waterproof pair right beside my bed, that I slipped into without ever having my feet touch the floor in the morning. I wore them right into the shower; again my feet never touched the floor. Then I transferred to a cork flip after that for the rest of the day at home. After 3 months my plantar fasciitis was gone! I continue to wear Sole flips, indoors every day and don't ever go barefoot anymore. After 10 years, my plantar fasciitis has not returned.

nichole

Love my new shoes.

I have been wearing these shoes for about a month now. They are my favorite shoes to wear day to day. The foot bed has formed perfectly to my feet and they feel as if they are custom to my feet. I do find them to be warm on my feet during hot days however they do breathe well and therefore are great. The fit is slightly small, so maybe order a half size up.

Marissa Frana

Can't go wrong!

My family has been a long time purchaser of SOLE sandals, when you need support, but want to wear a sandal, they are the only way to go. These were purchased for my aunt whom had to have her foot fused. It took some convincing, because she was sure she would never be able to wear sandals again. Now, she wishes she would have had them sooner. They provider exactly the support she needs, but she also loves that she can adjust them to fit each foot. As her fused foot is much larger. They are true to size and are so comfortable, she can spend more time on her feet without paying for it. I've since purchased 2 additional pairs, so that she can wear one inside, one outside, and have a back up pair...that's how good they are!!

Best yet!

Been wearing these two months and my severe heel pain has gone away & so have the previous expensive insole I was directed towards! They worked until my feet needed to heal...the foot doc said he used the SOLE Products personally to give his feet a break...He Was right!

Great product for golf

I started to use SOLE foot beds on the recommendation of my doctor for treatment of planter fasciitis. I use the performance thin foot beds in my golf shoes and they work great. Very glad I acted on my doctors advice!

Sandra Bayliss

Lovin the comfort!!

I have been wearing SOLE slippers and inserts for a few years now. I had plantar fascia tears in my left foot from running My podiatrist recommended that I wear supportive slippers and SOLE inserts in my shoes. They have made a big difference in the health of my feet. I love their products!!

Troy Campbell

Worth every penny

Take it from someone who has been wearing custom orthotics for 30 years, best flip flops ever. They easily form to your foot, are very comfortable, and durable. Full marks!

Great product for golf

Kathleen M Unfreed

A classic flip flop

I bought these flip flops for my partner to use around the yard and at the beach. They are comfotable and conform to your foot.

Forever satisfied

This is my third pair of SOLE inserts. They have become an essential part of my proactive plan to relieve back pain that originates from not having good foot support. They are lightweight, fit easily into my shoes, and are very comfortable. I will continue to trust and use this brand.

Michael T ANDERSON

Wife Love's the Balboa Flip Flop

I bought the Balboa Flips, a few weeks ago, for my wife to replace some older Sole flip flops. My wife loves them even more than her old ones. These are her new favorites out of 3-4 pair. She loves how well they fit her foot and the cushion they provide. She is able to wear them all day standing on her feet without any foot tiredness or pain As always the service provided by SOLE is wonderful!

Audrey Yank

Knee problems solved

I owe a lot of respect to SOLE company. For some unknown reason I started having ankle pain on my right foot a few months ago. I was referred to a foot doctor, the same that had seen me during my childhood during 12 years and that fixed my problem having feet looking inwards. This time, the foot doctor made me those super technological orthodics that cost $400+. After 5 adjustments trying to improve them, because I was starting to feel a very painful pinching sensation in my inner knees (somewhere I NEVER had any problem before in my entire life), I came across SOLE footbed in a outdoors sale. I bought it thinking I had nothing to lose. I was pretty desperate at this point, nothing was doing it. My knees were in pain if I wore the foot orthodics or not, and the best solution was just not to walk at all : not an option at 32 years old! So I started using the SOLE footbeds, and all of a sudden, my knee pain disappeared! It was, and it still is, honestly so marvellous. I never told the Podiatrist I stopped using my custom orthodic, but now I got SOLE footbeds and my doctor was pretty happy I found my solution, so he wrote down the company name and went on recommending his patients the footbed. SOLE, you saved my knees! Thanks a lot!

Eric Platz

Great Flip

Lightweight, well-made, and comfortable with excellent support. Great casual flip for the lake or beach. Good for travel. I have a wider forefoot and appreciate that the design allows for plenty of room for the ball-of-foot and toes. I've also always received excellent customer service from SOLE. Definitely recommend and would purchase again.

Gail M Libby

Wonderful

I have flat feet and these sandals help with arch support. I have right foot pain due to this condition and I can wear these sandals all day and have no pain. I also like to use them as house slippers as it is uncomfortable for me to go barefoot. I love the fit and material of this sandal makes it very comfortable. This is my first pair but I will be purchasing them again as needed.

Donna A Lyste

The only flip flops I purchase!

After a season of painful plantar fasciitis, I purchased the SOLE product. Now these are the only ones I buy and have numerous pairs for around the house, garden, overnight bag, etc. Great product with the relaxed look of a flip flop but with a supportive foot bed.

Katrina N. Rauch

IN LOVE!

I love my SOLE Catalina flips! I got my first pair 6 years ago and LOVED them! I wore them out just this year - they lasted sooo long - so this year I ordered a new pair and love them just as much! In fact, I really appreciate the footbed - it's different, but they stay on my feet much better! SOLE flips do take a week or so to wear in, but once you do, they are the BEST flips ever!! I love mine and was worried at first that they were too small, but after about a week they fit like a glove. I buy SOLE because of the metatarsal support on the footbed - I had surgery on one foot and have had trouble with my toes falling asleep when I wear shoes. As long as a I have metatarsal support, my toes don't fall asleep - and of all the flips I've tried, SOLE are my favorite. THANKS!!!

Adam L Smith

Super Comfortable and Durable

So far I am very pleased with the Balboa. I wear the pretty much daily these days and have found them very comfortable. The break in period was quick. The outsole is holding up surprisingly well considering how soft it is. The supportive footbed fits the foot well and prevents that "flip flop" sound when walking. I have been wearing SOLE flip flops for many years and the Balboa is a very nice cost sensitive version of their footwear.

Emily Claburn

Most Comfortable Flip Flops EVER

I am so happy that I found these shoes they've helped me tremendously with my foot pain from chronic pain from neuropathy. These are the only flip-flops that I can wear, they are like heaven on my feet. Such a great product very well-built I even wore them walking in the river. They have a customer for life I have these in three different colours! Thank you SOLE!!

Almost perfect fit out of the box

I discovered SOLE footbeds a few years ago. I injured myself just before a hiking trip in American SouthWest and needed some extra foot support so that I could keep to the trip's aggressive hiking schedule. Shoe guy at REI recommended SOLE thick corkbeds and I have been a fan ever since. The District Recork Tour looked interesting and they were on sale. I am upgrading my look after losing a lot of weight and these appeared stylish and I know the comfort of the SOLE footbeds, so I purchased. Out of the box, it took a few minutes for the beds to adjust to my feet, but then they were perfect. Like my hiking companions on that trip, they provide comfort, support, and fun. I bought the black leather, but plan on ordering the brown leather as well. Now I have only been wearing these for a few hours around the house, but I like them almost as much as my Cushe slip ons that I normally wear. They just feel like a part of me. Great shoe!

Rugged foot wear forThe beach

Beach sandals not the floppy foam ones! SOLE Beach Flip flops are super comfortable and stable on the sand and uneven ground once broken in the foot bed is not slippery in the water and walking distance is easy as they form your foot . I wear them around the yard there light and make your feet feel good

Great Support for Severe Feet

I have one foot that has severe over-pronation, post surgery these SOLE Mateo slides provide excellent support and comfort. Both feet, appreciate the support and cushion. I was unsure on the slide concept vs a flip, but after having them for a while I have a difficult time remembering what my apprehension was all about.

William Hamilton

feet reprieve

This my forth set of SOLE insoles and the first time with the Work style. I have foot problems and was half time on a cane. These insoles have let me set that aside and do most of a day on my feet. The fit is perfect and they seem to holding up quite well through several months now of wear. Next I will try a light pair for dress shoes and see if dancing is again a possibility.

Cara Barter

Great support for chronic pain

I live with chronic joint pain throughout my body. Theses are the best flip flops I have ever had. I've had other orthopedic cork sandals before but nothing compares to Sole for foot support and durability. I bought my first pair of SOLE on recommendation from my physio therapist. They lasted me years. I'm sure this second pair will last just as long. I highly recommend these for anyone dealing with chronic pain. Good alignment starts in your feet.

Nothing but...

SOLE has always been my go to foot insoles, for health and comfort.

Thomas Burchell

Comfortable and stable footwear

I have been wearing SOLE cork flip flops for two months, They are very comfortable and help with foot pain after a long workday. The materials a tough and take a bit of a break in period but once they are broken in I want to wear them 24/7. Great summer shoe , even around the house anytime

Excellent Quality

I started using this companies inserts 4-5 years back while in the Royal Canadian Navy. My foot pain brought on by poor arch and heal support while wearing sea boots and combat boots transversing steal decks, hard cement and pavement during my daily work routine. The pain became severe. I was eventually issued a set of SOLE inserts. The inserts definitely increased my quality of life. I eventually equipped all my footwear, civilian and military, with this companies inserts. The quality of the inserts are superb with excellent arch support and heal support with the cupping action at the heal. I swear by this company. Now that's myself. My wife has been suffering from foot pain as well for years, and kept buying cheap inserts. I ordered her a set of these inserts, we moulded them to her feet. She tells me that they have made a massive difference due to the support provided. They are expensive, but you get what you pay for. they do last quite a long time. Ive sanitized them and they come out nice and clean.

Perfect for Joint Pain of all Types

I have been using SOLE insoles for almost 20 years. They're comfortable, affordable, and they prevent ankle pain, tendonitis, and now that I'm older, all kinds of other joint pain. Thus, when I purchased another pair for myself, I also purchased a couple of pairs for my husband. He has been complaining of foot pain from bunions and knee pain. He works in HVAC so he is on his feet all day at work. He also lifts weights for multiple hours a day. Since he started using the insoles, he isn't complaining about his bunions anymore. He says they are comfortable, and they have definitely helped with his pain.

Best Insoles on the Market

A physical therapist recommended SOLE to me about 20 years ago. I had repeat ankle sprains and tendonitis in my Achilles tendon. Some of that was due to sports injuries, but I also have high arches. I needed better foot support. I was also an undergraduate student, so I had very little money. Thankfully, the student health center sold SOLE insoles. I have been using them ever since. If you have any type of joint pain, including back pain, you need these insoles. Since I have multiple pairs of insoles, they tend to last me for about five years. The benefits far outweigh the costs of SOLE products.

Excellent

I recently replaced some custom inserts with these insoles and have been very pleased with their performance. I have more space in my shoes and have been able to keep my foot pain from my neuroma at bay. I purchased a pair of these at a ski shop as well and use them in my boots and continue to have plenty of room and increased comfort on the slopes. I appreciate the environmental concern of the company as well, which makes me happy to support them.

Awesome inserts

These have replaced custom-made inserts and they work even better. These are the only inserts that work for me. I have had foot issues for years (prior to wearing these inserts) and have been to podiatrists. This is a lot less expensive than doing all that. These inserts are the obvious choice.

The best insoles - keep my feet healthy

I have SOLE insoles in my performance ski boots and most of my shoes. They keep my feet supported and shape to my feet very well. When I started to experience some foot pain with accompanying plantar fasciitis I tried SOLE insoles and my pain gradually faded away after a few weeks of stretching and consistent use of my active and performance medium footbeds. I love them! Thanks a lot SOLE. R. Gibson Portland, Oregon

Randy Jones

The Best. Period.

I live in Flips. Have for years and years. Before I found SOLE Flips, I could get about a year out of a "quality" pair from a long list of manufacturers. they might feel comfortable for the first month or 2 but then they break down and eventually look so terrible that my wife throws them away. Ones that stand up to daily wear, well they feel like I'm wearing plywood on my feet. I can't walk for hours in them like I can in my SOLE Flips. My wife and I travel a lot and we always go for long walks wherever we are. unless we are trail hiking, we go out in our SOLE flips. Miles and miles of walking and we get home, comfortable and with zero foot fatigue! The quality of the SOLE flips are fantastic. I am rough on most things and my flips are not excluded. I routinely have to wash my outside flips because, well, I have gone places in them that aren't exactly clean! They wash up easily and look new again. these flips can take the day in day out abuse that my life hands them, no problem. In fact the only reason I have had to buy new ones is not from wear or discomfort issues, they simply have become stained from wear and I want a new pair so they look respectable. I have 2 pairs of SOLE sport flips for daily wear, one for inside and one for outside. I have now owned 5 pairs and my wife has 2. I am 6'5" tall and weigh 235 pounds and my flips last me at least 2-3 years. GREAT value when you consider how much I wear them. My wife still owns (and wears daily) her original pair she bought 5 years ago! (she weighs a lot less than me!) If you are considering buying your first pair and are concerned about price, DON'T BE! These flips will outlast anything you have ever owned before and provide miles of comfort for years. As the old saying goes "the sweetness of low price is long forgotten while the bitterness of low quality lives on and on" Thanks SOLE for believing in high quality standards in your design and materials and construction. Keep up the great work! I'm a customer for life!

Best sandals in the world

Best sandals you can find. Supports the foot perfectly. Hubby had one pair that gave out after 10 years. Now we bought two pairs for him. One pair for outside and one pair as indoor slippers. He can't live without his SOLE. I bought a pair as well and love them. I wear size 10 in shoes and size 11 in my SOLE fits perfectly. Hubby wears size 13 in shoes and his size 13 Soles fits well. Yes, we have big feet... The cork SOLE gives the cushion we need when walking on hard floors and roads. Super comfortable sandals. We walked all over Portugal for one month in our SOLEs.

Men’s repel

I have been wearing this shoe for about three months and love them. Very comfortable, great supportive foot bed. Easy to put on and the fit is true. Have purchased two pair!

Samantha Horan

BEST FLIPS EVER!!!!!!

I love my Costa flips! They're the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. The support is amazing. As someone who is constantly on my feet running around these have helped my knees and back get back to normal where I don't need to see the Chiro as much. I had a figure skating injury when I was 15 to my lower back so I'm always in pain. The fit is great, the way it hugs my foot Is just right and love the mulberry color as it's my fave. I bought one pair and had to go back for 3 more!

Pamela Payne

Catalina Sport Flips

I have been wearing these flips for 10 years. I own 7 pairs, and have just ordered a pair of the Baja flips. I have a large bunion on my left foot so very limited what footwear I can wear. These flips are the most comfortable shoes of any kind I have ever worn. I can walk all day with no foot pain. I love my SOLE flips!

M Craighton

Softec Ultras are the BEST!

I have used Softec Ultras for years. The first thing I do with new running shoes is replace the insoles with the Ultras. The Ultras themselves have lasted for years and they help add miles to my running shoes. I have a narrow foot with a high arch and the Ultras changed my running life for the better by providing stability, support, comfort and preventing "hotspots". Love the simple heat and wear molding for fit; subtle, but makes a difference! Thank you SOLE people - keep up the good work! :-)

Longtime use

I have been using SOLE footbeds for almost as long as they have been in business, I believe. I had chronic Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. I had 2 prior foot surgeries for neuromas. I was on my feet all the time as a pediatrician and was miserable with pain especially in the morning and was limping at work. I was referred to an orthopedist who specialized in foot care. He referred me to an orthotics store where I was introduced to and purchased my first SOLE footbeds. I have used them for possibly 18 years now. I had tried custom orthotics prior which were too uncomfortable to wear. I discovered the SOLE website many years ago and buy as needed. I only have foot pain if I wear shoes without the footbeds. I walk my 10,000 steps per day and ballroom dance. I have recommended SOLE footbeds to friends and even to parents of my patients.

Arch support

About three years ago, I bought a new pair of walking shoes and SOLE insoles to give me the rigid arch support my podiatrist told me I needed to get rid of chronic foot pain. The pain stopped immediately, and wearing them every day, I continue to be pain-free.

Andrea

Love!

I bought these sandals after researching summer footwear for planter fasciitis. I was hesitant and thought I'd be spending my summer in my running shoes and custom orthodics, but these sandals are AMAZING! No foot pain at all. I haven't wore them outside yet, not until I can get another pair so I can have one for inside and one for outside. They fit true to size!

Brian Conley

Great product

Well a few weeks in, and I can't be happier with the purchase of these flip flops. I had some minor knee issues, and since I have been wearing these I have not felt that pain in my knee when I walk. So far I could not be happier with the SOLE brand, and plan to soon try some insoles. The fit is good, I am usually a size 8.5 went down to an 8 for these, the fit is perfect for the foot.

Steven C Melling

My Search is Over!

Finally. A slim designed flip flop, or 'slippa', that is very comfortable, offers support and hugs the foot. I've been wearing flip flops for decades and have become increasingly disappointed with the direction that flip flops were heading. In a quest to make flip flops more comfortable, manufacturers were pumping out flip flops that were either thick cheap foam, or had air soles, that ended up looking like a flip flop/hiking boot hybrid. They end up looking ridiculous and rarely sat square on the foot. I've always preferred a slimmer flip flop and these fit the bill perfectly. They are firm and thin, but with the arch support and contoured foot bed, they are very comfortable. They have become my new go-to flip flops!

Linda Roussel

We love these

Both my husband and I have been wearing these for 6 months and love them. I was sufffering from plantar fasciitis and Morton's Neuroma and he has needed custom orthotics for years for foot pain. We both find the insoles comfortable, reduce pain and are light weight and easy to transfer between shoes. These are an economical way to get relief!

Stephen M Antonelli

great footwear.

Excellent shoe! I bought multiple pairs. Very comfortable, looks good and supportive. I use them at my work in recreation therapy all day walking around at an acute hospital rehab. I have high arches, narrow small feet size 9 for a 6 foot tall body. With wrong shoes or shoes that don't fit well I end up with lower back pain and cramps that radiate up my shoulders into my arms and fingers, triggering fibromyalgia. With good shoes like these I do not have any pain or inflamation. Thank you!

George SHIMER

Pillow talk

I bought my Mateo Sport Slides four years ago. They are definitely the most comfortable slide I have ever worn. I like the way the mold to my foot and yet still enough cushion to make my feet feel like they are on pillows. I am now buying myself a new pair ~George Shimer,

Good enough to make me switch!

For the last few months, I've been wearing the SOLE Active and the SOLE Performance. The Active is a lower profile that fit nicely in my ultimate cleats and my cycling shoes- something my Superfeet insoles never did well. They provide arch support without taking up a lot of volume. The Performance insoles have 1.6 mm of cushioning and a recycled cork base. These were awesome in a pair of shoes I'd written off as not fitting my foot but the insoles changed my mind. If you've worn Superfeet before you know there comes a time when the heel cup glue fails and the tiny piece of cork comes out and you glue them and glue them and tape them and finally give up. SOLE insoles are one integrated piece so there is no glue to fail or pieces to disconnect. Superfeet can get pretty rank while SOLE insoles are made with the Polygiene odor control technology. So, you're probably like, it's an insole, whatever. You are so wrong and you are not living your best life. I seriously, truly, have a pair of insoles in every single athletic shoe I own. Cross country ski boots, skate ski boots, AT boots, every pair of Altras and Hokas (5x pairs), my around-town boots, hiking boots, my OTF sneakers. Yeah, that's right, I own that much footwear. Don't ask how many pairs of Chacos I have!

Saved my feet

I have bone spurs that become very painful when cycling for hours in stiff-soled cycling shoes. After trying all sorts of pads, shoes, and insoles, the SOLE insoles have been a lifesaver. Well, ok, a footsaver. I recently completed a 500 mile gravel bike race with very little foot discomfort and I give a lot of credit to these SOLE insoles. These thick soles work best in shoes that already run a little big.

Debra Blankenship

SOLE Flip Flops

I have bunions and arthritis in my feet for years and find that while these cost more than others these offer great support and comfort. They initially are a little snug but they conform to your foot with wearing. I have five pairs including cork ones. I have worn these for nearly 10 years and now them wear SOLE flip flops 365 days a year.

Abbey Ulansky

Best arch support post injury

I had plantar fasciitis for 8 months. I did all the physio and rehab to help it go away. As it started to heal, I found barefoot walking uncomfortable I needed something with an arch support. My podiatrist sold me a pair of Catalina flips and I loved them so much, I purchased a second pair online. (And a third for my partner.) Amazingly comfortable flip. Soft material used between the toes and the sole conforms to my foot well. Arch support is fantastic. I have two pairs-one that I wear inside my house all the time and the other is for outside. I would buy another pair for sure!

Best yet

I love the Active Wide Thick SOLE footbed. It comfortably fits my whole foot. I live with your products daily and over the past 10 or more years they are with me always. I keep a pair in each shoe I own and they work great in my dress shoes. They also work well in my jogging shoes (and all-in-between). I use to live with constant foot pain and worked with a few doctors and tried a number of products that I paid 10 times as much and more for. Then I tried your product and with the heat and custom fit feature I have never felt better. Thanks and have a great day.

Todd S McKinnon

Excellent Product

I love the SOLE inserts! I use these inserts in most of my footwear and they have been a tremendous help in solving my arch/heel pain that I experienced some 15 years ago. I love the variety of inserts which I use in the various foot wear I use. For comfort and fit, SOLE is a most excellent product!

Todd S McKinnon

Excellent Product

Most "flip flops" provide no arch support. SOLE has the Beach Fip that provides excellent arch support and foot pain relief. These Beach Flips are the perfect product that complements the SOLE shoe inserts that have cured my arch and heel pain!

Teri-Lyn M Porter

Best Flip Flop

I love my SOLE flips, I have about 7 pairs. I have inside flips I wear in the house instead of slippers as I need the orthotic support. I also have outside flips to wear out. This is my footwear of choice whenever I go out. The SOLE flips offer great support and stand up to a lot of wear. I do not experience any foot pain or heel pressure if I wear these. When I do wear bare feet or runners I do experience heel pain and sore feet.

For pain relief and proper biomechanical alignment.

I don't have flat feet but I was wearing a particular tennis shoes ( which I did not do a flex test on as I never had plantar fasciitis in my life and for having played 7 days a week of tennis for 40 years) in 2012 which I didn't realize was flexing in the middle of the arch. I then developed bilateral foot pains. I recognized the symptoms and I knew I had plantar fasciitis bilaterally. I did the flex test on the shoes and I found the cause. So I tried the SOLE Active Thick insoles in the shoes and the pain went away in about 3 weeks without doing any treatments. I now use the insoles in all the shoes I have. The one thing that is great about is the immediate noticeable change in the force generating capability of the muscles when wearing arch supports or insoles. Initially, one can get tested without wearing insoles in standing position with arms stretched out to sides (90 degrees of abduction of both shoulders), and applying a downward force around the elbow /arms. Let the testee resist. Then test again in the same position wearing the insoles and apply the same downward force. The testee and the tester should feel a difference. It should be stronger. This the reason why I recommend insoles not just to my patients who need arch supports but also for athletes who want better performance.

Amy M smith

Another great flip!

I have been a sole customer for many years since I started having foot pain due to wearing flip flops that were flat. I usually purchase the sport flip, which I wear everywhere, but I wanted something a little different for the beach. These Costa flips are perfect. Very comfortable with support and looks great at the beach.

Top Notch

This SOLE product is my favourite, I spend a lot of time in boots and the thicker insert really helps support my arches and gives me additional mobility. These also will fit into tennis shoes, as long as they are not too tight fitting. The price is reasonable and I don't have to replace them too often. Would I buy them again? YES! I actually bought a pair for my father who has knee pain and these have helped greatly in stabilizing his foot and thus reducing knee pain. SOLE has a great products. Rich Hamm

Great product

Great arch support. They mold to my feet. A shoe salesperson measured my feet and told me I had size 12 foot and size 13 arch so I ordered 13 SOLE and they are great. I trimmed a little off the toe end so they would fit in my shoes. I have a spur on one heel. The cushioning helps with that. I have tried some insoles that have more cushion but I don't use them because they make me feel like I am going to tip over sideways.

Super comfortable and durable

I've used custom orthotics for years but the price of them is substantial. I began developing issues using my custom fits and the guy at the shoe store I frequent, suggested these. And I have to say, at nearly a quarter of the cost of custom orthotics, these saved my life. I work in a warehouse with concrete floor and it's brutal on the feet but these insoles in a pair of running shoes, are the most comfortable option I've ever had. I no longer have foot pain. I will definitely continue using these insoles. They are worth every penny.

Great product

I am very happy with this product. Able to walk without heel pain. Went to Disney world and had no foot pain.

Joseph Lopez Rosales

I am impressed by these insoles.

I have purchased a pair of sandals from SOLE three years ago, used them every summer since and fell in love with them. I saw an ad through one of my social media feeds that SOLE had these medium work insoles on sale. I jumped at the chance to try these at a discount. I use these insoles in my tactical work boots. My job as a Sheriff has me walking, standing, all day, almost every day. Being a larger guy I have always had problems with my knees and my plantar fasciitis. These insoles compared to my prescribed ones, I truly prefer these ones. They run the full length of the boot so there's no rubbing in the middle of the foot like I get with the prescribed ones. It has been almost four months, and no complaints whatsoever. These so far have been the best non prescription insoles I have ever purchased. Highly recommend that you at least try these.

"Form" over "foam"

I've had my SOLE orthotic shoe inserts for about a month, and they are by far the best I have ever owned (I've tried sooo many). The typical insoles with cushion, memory foam, gel, etc. never relieved my pain (kinda like putting foam on a hammer, but still continuing to hit your foot with the foam-covered hammer). The SOLE inserts are different. They are not soft (I have the cork version). They are firm, but their shape restores my arches and puts my feet back into the form and shape they are supposed to be in. After just an hour of adjusting to them, I had significant relief of my plantar fasciitis, which no other insole was able to provide me. This brand is a bit pricey, but well worth it. I wish I hadn't wasted so much money on all the other insoles that didn't work before discovering SOLE.

Robert Van Dusen

Very Nice

I have tried 4 of your SOLE insoles for my foot problems. The work I tried as I am on my feet for 8 hours a day at work and my feet were getting very tired. Not sure it is the best one of your insoles but it has helped. Still have issues with numbness on one foot but nothing seems to help that. I have also tried the Performance Thick, Active Thin and Active Medium with Met Pad. All feel great but in every shoe I place them they make the shoe squeak very audibly. When I replace with the shoes original insole the noise stops. Sometimes it is one foot, sometimes both and it alternates between feet. Apart from the noise am very pleased with my purchases.

Mark Picus

Incredibly comfortable shoes!

I have a long narrow foot, and it doesn't make sense to spend $300-$500 for every pair of work and dress shoes so that they fit my 11.5 AA foot. I used to just wear two pairs of socks (not always comfortable during a Gulf Coast summer, but SOLE has been a godsend! The inserts help my normal width shoes fit, but the District by ReCORK shoes I bought fit tightly, comfortably, and look fantastic. I feel fashionable and young, and I bound around my campus at work or through airports without wincing or losing my shoes. And they look great for casual or dress-up occasions.

russell brantner

comfort

For years with foot problems the discovery of SOLE foot supports has changed my life markedly. I can now go on long walks without paying the price. Highly recommended by me!

Anna Wall

My favourite insoles

Good morning! I have been having trouble with my feet for many years. I am always looking for arch support, and never really getting what I was looking for. I have a size 12 foot, and always have to wear men's shoes. I had gone to see a different doctor, and he suggested the cork insoles. He said they would form to my feet. So I ordered them, and I am able to walk much better. They are softer than the insoles I was using. I have been wearing them now for about a year. They are comfortable. They fit nicely. I will continue to buy them for years to come!

Mrs Michelle maras

Best flip/orthodic/sexy shoe ever

So here it is; 5 years ago I was introduced to these flips and insoles from my sister who claimed to have her uncomfortable foot spurs disappear from wearing them...and I was having back pain so I thought I'd give them a try since I had tried many things including actual orthodics.I feel as though they completely line up my body as I stand on them. Every part of my foot feels supported and it has a ripple effect all the way up my body...amazing! They look good too! I always buy two pairs to wear in the house as slippers as well as most everywhere else I go (except the gym) that's when I use the footbeds. Best ever!

Fantastic Soles

I am a bit old and overweight with flat feet and worn out knees, but I love to hike! Where I live there are many trails in the mountains and rough Andalusian country side. There's a lot of up-and-down, steep paths. I recently switched over to Altea Lone Pine 4.0 trail shoes and paired them with SOLE Wide Thick foot beds. My first hike was a tough route of 17 miles with 3,700 accumulated elevation ascent and descent. I packed along my well-used Brooks Cascadia with traditional fit SOLE Thick footbeds just in case. But no problems and many hikes later I'm so pleased I have already bought a second pair of the SOLE/Altra combination! My feet and my knees are responding well, both for long hikes and on steep descents. I fully recommend SOLE footbeds!

Supreme comfort and support

My podiatrist recommended these to me and in fact sold me my first pair. At 290 lbs I'm not a little guy and I wear size 13/14 extra wide shoes. I have flat feet. These insoles solve many problems for me. They give me arch support and provide much needed cushioning. I don't consider them a luxury but a necessity for my health. I can tell when it's time for a new pair by the pain in my feet. Oh yeah, while they're working I'm walking pain free. I've tried other brands and nothing else comes close. These are the best. If this doesn't fix your feet, according to my podiatrist, the next step is custom made orthotics. This is the best product, best quality, most recommended foot sole support out there.

Meaghan Olson

Love these!

I suffered from plantar fasciitis forbsome time before discovering SOLE and the footbeds, and have happily had zero issues since (4 years!). These flip flops are fantastic indoors and out, are durable and waterproof and supremely comfortable. I have a wider foot and they provide comfort and stability for me. Thank you!

Pleasantly surprised

I have had a lot of shoe inserts promise to relieve foot, ankle, knee, and hip pain. None ever delivered. It was a pleasant surprise to realize that after a few weeks of using the SOLE inserts, I was walking further and enjoying it more. I'd love to be able to get SOLE inserts for every pair of shoes that I own!

Glenn Jones

Laguna Flips

First pair of flips ever. I am so glad I bought them . The cork under my feet feels fantastic. Also the way they are formed, it feels like a foot massage while I walk around. These are a fantastic flip and I would recommend them to anyone who is serious about taking care of their feet.

Thankful

I had a Norton's neuroma in my left foot & was in pain. I got these for my running shoes . I also wear the sole flip-flops indoors & these together have helped to the point I feel like it's gone.

David Gonzalez

Awsome!!!g

Excellent product! I have extremely flat feet and have been wearing orthotics my whole life. This is a sturdy, solid sport slide. Extremely comfortable and keeps my foot in place. I wish I would of gotten them years ago!

Less fatigue and foot pain

I have been replacing my factory insoles with SOLE products for a couple years now. More recently I am using the versions with metatarsal support. These insoles allow me to work longer with less fatigue and foot pain. My oldest pair are just now cracking and showing their age, pretty good considering they are at least 3 years old.

Outstanding inserts for your boots.

I work in home renovations and on my feet all day. By the end of the day my feet and knees would be aching. Using the SOLE inserts in my boots make them incredibly comfortable. They last a long time, fit great making my boots feel like a running shoe on my foot. I've tried other insoles but these are by far the best ones in my opinion. I've been wearing these now for about a year and half and will not go back to any other brand. I do not have sore feet or knees any longer. Highly recommend SOLE!

Heel spurs.

SOLE orthotic/inserts are designed such that they alleviate my chronic, severe heel pain from heel spurs/plantar fasciitis when nothing else has worked. My podiatrist sold me my first pair 3 1/2 years ago. I have two pairs and use in all of my shoes and boots. I have SOLE slides, 4 pairs, for indoors and slides for outdoors in white and black. Going barefoot is not an option for me. Going without SOLE foot support is not a choice I make. I am so thankful for the quality, beautiful design and they last years.

Heel spurs.

SOLE orthotic/inserts are designed such that they alleviate my chronic, severe heel pain from heel spurs/plantar fasciitis when nothing else has worked. My podiatrist sold me my first pair 3 1/2 years ago. I have two pairs and use in all of my shoes and boots. I have SOLE slides, 4 pairs, for indoors and slides for outdoors in white and black. Going barefoot is not an option for me. Going without SOLE foot support is not a choice I make. I am so thankful for the quality, beautiful design and they last years.

The best casual and post work out foot wear!

My husband and I have been using this product for about 10 years. I initially purchased a pair as a post run foot wear. I loved them so much that I bought three more in different colors. I bought this most recent pair as a stocking stuffer for my husband. He had 2 colors, but not black. They were his favorite christmas gift! My husband and I wear our SOLE flips all the time. I even wear them with casual dresses.

Great product for cycling shoes.

This is the second pair of thin soles I have purchased. I have nephropathy in my feet. I.e. painful for me to walk a lot. I used the first pair in my cycle shoes. They work great allowing me to ride much longer distances. The sole really spreads the load across the whole foot and removes the pressure points of the cleat on the peddle. I have moved the old ones to my boots and put the new ones in my new cycle shoes. Excellent product. I prefer them to my expensive custom orthodics.

Now I can wear shoes I like!

Every pair of shoes I own have had SOLE inserts for the last two years. I have two problems with my feet - Morton's Neuroma and Plantar Fasciitis. I found some specialized shoes that greatly alleviated my foot pain, but they were not only bordering on hideous, but also tremendously expensive. Then I found SOLE inserts with Met pads. Now I can buy whatever shoe I want, and by the magic of SOLE, have the same level of pain relief I got from my plain (to speak kindly) and expensive specialty shoes. The fact that SOLE is made from recycled cork is icing on the environmental cake.

Supreme comfort and support

My podiatrist recommended these to me and in fact sold me my first pair. At 290 lbs I'm not a little guy and I wear size 13/14 extra wide shoes. I have flat feet. These insoles solve many problems for me. They give me arch support and provide much needed cushioning. I don't consider them a luxury but a necessity for my health. I can tell when it's time for a new pair by the pain in my feet. Oh yeah, while they're working I'm walking pain free. I've tried other brands and nothing else comes close. These are the best. If this doesn't fix your feet, according to my podiatrist, the next step is custom made orthotics. This is the best product, best quality, most recommended foot sole support out there.

Great product!

These insoles have really helped support my foot in a way that I no longer have pain and reduced how often I need to attend physio. My physiotherapist recommended them to me and I have been happy with them since day 1!

A sole with soul

I saw this insole with met pad and wondered if it was better for me than the regular SOLE insoles. I have tried thick and thin, active and performance over the years but not the met pad until now. I was a little unsure how a met pad would feel but I found out that it is comfortable for my flat feet. It is not too much different than the regular insole but provides a little extra support for the middle of the foot. If you are experiencing pain in that area the met pad is worth a try. It isn't big enough to hurt but is noticeable as a little support under the foot, a slightly different feel, just like having more arch support compared to flat insoles. For me the SOLE insoles work as well as a custom orthotic, and for the same cost of one custom orthotic I can put a SOLE insole in each pair of shoes I have.

Love My Soles

I love my SOLE active and active medium soles. I have problems with my achilles tendon and these have given me much needed support for my foot rolling alignment issues. I use the SOLE medium for my bulky sneakers and the SOLE thins for my narrower ones. No regrets and you should give them a try...

Lynn Mader

Walking Again Pain Free

I went to the doctor with pain on the side of my foot that was diagnosed as tendinitis and advised to get SOLE inserts. Since we had an upcoming beach vacation I purchased these slides. I was amazed I could walk for hours without pain. Now that winter is here in MN, I use with slippers as house shoes. Thank You! Thank You!

Glad to be Back

Tried prescription orthodics for a couple of years after using SOLE footbeds, and my foot pain actually increased. Went back to the SOLE footbeds and glad I did. My foot pain will never go away but SOLE has made life more comfortable.

Courtney C Armstrong

SO GOOD!

I love these footbeds. LOVE them! I struggle with plantar fasciitis and they have made a massive difference in my foot pain. They fit in my Blundstones perfectly. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Anthony P Dimichele

Holds up

I am a rather large fella and these still hold up. I don't know what I would do without these as I have almost no arch and in the past had a lot of foot pain. Once I started using these, the pain went away. True to size and durable.

Loved these

I need orthotics to prevent foot pain but wanted a sandal to wear while travelling in Ghana. Wore these all day, everyday and had no foot pain at all.... and looked good!

Really enjoy the footbed

I have for years used the custom foot bed's from one of our local running stores, I wanted to try to save a bit of money so I thought I would give these a shot. I have been very pleased with their performance, I heated them in the oven (like the directions say) placed them in my running shoes and formed them to my foot and started using them. They give me great support and are very comfortable on my feet. I was concerned for blisters and for my feet falling asleep but neither have happened. I am now 4 months into using them and I consider them to be my new go to. Highly Recommend... I will be purchasing more in the future as my other's wear out and as I watch for 'Specials' throughout the year.

Christine S. Laberge

IN LOVE

I love these sandals. I live in SOLE sandals. The size 8 fits my foot perfectly. I no longer have any plantar fasciitis or heel spurs...it's amazing to live pain-free. Thanks SOLE!

Richard Kerschtien

Awesome Sandals

I am currently wearing my third pair of Navigate sandals. I began wearing them after experiencing plantar fasciitis. They are tough and well made! Once formed to my foot they are very comfortable and I can walk all day without any foot issues. These sandals rock!

John Paris

Great Sandals!!Help Me Alot

These really are comfortable and fit perfectly. Helps me a great deal with a very high arched foot. Great job! I have been wearing these for over 1 year. Very durable!

Lantry Vaughan

Perfect alternative to thicker soles

These work great for giving slightly more foot room in some of my favorite shoes and boots.

GEOFFREY HEWKO

Total Score!!!!

So I was shopping the SOLE site as there was a sale going on and I had already had an awesome experience with some sandals I bought a couple of years ago (which I still wear) and I ordered 2 pairs of shoes. I decided to take a look at the other items they had on sale and noticed that these boots were deeply discounted and figured for what they were selling for I couldn't say no - they were around the same price as a pair of insoles - how could I miss? When the boots arrived it was still snowy and mucky where I live and I decided to give them a test drive.... they were super light, water tight and no slipp'n and slidd'n to be had. As with all SOLE foot beds it took some time to get used to them but I gotta say I'm really enjoying my purchase - I actually feel like I stole'm for the price I paid. The only thing I'm on the fence with is that the boots are slightly bulkier then what I had envisioned - but I'm a firm believer in function over fashion anyway... so it's a win for me.

This a beautiful shoe. Comfortable and connects your feet to the ground!

I love the feel of this shoe and how comfortable it is. The sole connects to the ground with a firm but soft feeling. And it fits my wide foot well

Supportive and protective

I have had the SOLE brand insoles in my footwear since I purchased a pair of Redwing boots a few years ago. I discovered the amazing support needed for me was established from the inside not the outside. I did some research to find the SOLE brand was the real source of the insole. I purchased my first pair of active Soles about 6 months later for my sneakers and basically eliminated all of my foot pain. It doesn't matter how inexpensive the shoes are as long as I have my Soles to support my feet I am good to go. I have also recently discovered another important quality about SOLE; because of the thickness they have saved my foot on 2 occasions from a roofing nail. They both penetrated my shoes only to stop short of my foot because of the SOLE footbed. I would definitely recommend the purchase for every shoe you wear.

NH

Great shoes

They are well made, look great and are very comfortable. It can definitely be worn with no socks. I am tempted to get them in black too, only regret that despite having measured my foot and always being a size 7.5, I should have ordered them in a size 7.

André Laprade

Received some compliments

I bought the Prodigy colour which were somewhat lighter coloured than they looked on the screen. They are a comfortable pair of shoes that drew some compliments at work. The size chart didn't work for me. My foot size was approx 27.8 so I bought the size 10 since they were for a foot of 28 cm in length. They were too small and I returned them for a 10.5. These were still a touch on the snug size but since they are leather I'm hoping they will stretch out over time. Even snug they are still comfortable. What little tread that the sole has is already smoothing out which may be an issue if the floor happens to be wet from people coming in with snow on their boots.

The BEST!

I have bought numerous pairs of SOLE sandals. They are absolutely the best on the market! Before total, bilateral knee replacement, I had four pair that I wore religiously. Nothing helped my knees as much as they did. Now, why change? Incredible support! For anyone with leg, knee, or foot problems, buy a couple of pair. Only wish I would get a commission for the number of people I have recommended that have bought these!

Insole Review

Love, love, love your insoles. I have been wearing them in my footwear for almost 20 years and cannot live without them. I didn't realize that my insoles were wearing down until one day I started having pain in my left foot. I went to see a foot specialist who recognized the issue. I came home and placed an order for 3 pair. My feet and I are happy again, thank you for creating such an amazing product.

James Christopher

Great Everyday Shoe

I have been a big fan of SOLE flips for years and was excited to try out the RECORK product. I purchased the black loafer in mens 13. Generally, shoes in size 13 look like water skis and some more so than others. These shoes were the complete opposite. My feet looked much smaller and I was quite surprised that they were a terrific fit and provided a significant amount of wiggle room in the toes. The arch support is similar to the flips and is beginning to form to the specifics of my foot arch. This has been my experience with all the SOLE products. They continue to provide excellent arch support during this break-in process. As for the overall look of the shoe beyond making my foot seem a reasonable size, they are simple and handsome with echos, for those of a certain vintage, of the 70's Earth Shoes! They have become my go-to shoe for everyday and can easily work in a dressier situation. The leather is soft and supple and it is comfortable. One area for improvement would be to modify the sole to provide a bit better traction in wet and other slick situations.

Best thing happening to my feet!!!!

These soles have made a 100 % difference in my feet. I can be on my feet 10x longer than I could before with no foot pain!! They are phenomenal!!!

So far so good

I am active runner who has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in the last year, and I was searching for a good footbed that would support my foot. Its been 2 months now of regular use and the fit seems great. I use the insoles in my running shoes and in my regular shoes with no problem. Of course, these won't fully cure your plantar fasciitis by themselves! I am doing daily stretches and exercises, but they are a great tool to have in your toolbox. ;) In these last 2 months I also tried the medium version but found out they dont fit in most of my shoes. These ones are thinner but still very confortable.

Morton's Neuroma & Plantar Fasciiitis Relief

Immediate relief for my Morton's Neuroma on my right foot. Excellent support for the plantar fasciitis on my left foot. I couldn't thank enough. Looking forward to try out other models :-)

Kelly Ong

Pain relief

I have Plantar Fasciitis on my left heel/ foot recently, I experienced sharp heel pain & unbearable foot pain during the day. Recently, I chanced upon the SOLE Catalina Sport Flips & I bought them. Wearing these really made me feel the difference ever since.

Melissa Henry

and I used to hate Flip Flops...

I've never worn flip flops because the toe post irritates and hurts so I always searched for sandals. I have high arches and PF, so I always search for supportive sandals, and hopefully find some that are still cute. I use SOLE footbeds for my causal shoes, and thought...what the heck? There was a good sale, the SOLE insoles have been great in the past, so why not try the Del Mar Flips and I can return them if they hurt too much right? They arrived quickly, I put them on and wore them for an hour or so. The toe post wasn't irritating and the foot bed felt comfortable and supportive from the beginning, I've worn them more, including all day shopping excursions and haven't had any issues. As the footbed continues to mold to my foot shape, they will probably become one of the most comfortable shoes I'll own. I won't trust other flip flops, but I'm glad I tried these. Supportive, cushion, and all day comfort for me.

T McKinnon

perfection

I wanted a flip to wear as I hate to go barefoot and wanted something cool and comfortable for the summer. The Beach Flip was perfect as it added support to my foot arch and is comfortable too! I have used several of the SOLE shoe inserts which have helped resolve some of my foot arch problems. Thus, I was confident that SOLE was the product that I could trust for a flip that would be a benefit to my feet and meet my want/need for a nice flip.

Curtis Pauls

Great service!!!!

So, I was pretty excited to get these new flips after wearing out a pair that lasted me almost five years. Unfortunately for me, I have a bone on my foot that didn't take kindly to the rubber strap on these. (My previous flips were a leather/fabric strap.) Sad, because the cork footbeds were incredibly comfortable! Well, after getting in touch with the customer service people I am happy to say I've ordered something that will likely be better for me, and the service I got from Tim was exceptional! I would hands down, heartily recommend buying from this company! My new flips are on their way and I anticipate major summer vibes and good times are coming my way too! Thanks again SOLE for exceptional customer service and pursuing sustainable manufacturing.

Walking on a cloud

I love to hike. I started having a lot of foot pain so a friend recommended SOLE inserts. It is like walking on a cloud and my foot pain is gone! I highly recommend!

Michael Culhane

THE best flip flops

I have issues with my feet due to a genetic disease so it's difficult to find a pair of flips that not only fit my feet but also support them. Living in the desert and being a boater my SOLEs are worn daily and for all day long. I first started wearing them years ago when had flat foot issues and have worn them since. I've tried many other expensive brands but keep coming back to SOLE!

Michelle Petker-Lawrie

Love!!!!

After wearing inexpensive flip flops for many years, my Chiropodist recommended I search the SOLE website after battling for the last couple years with achilles tendonitis and side foot pain. I have a flat foot and have battled with shin splints as well for years. I visited your website and purchased 2 pairs of flip flops - Baja and Laguna. I loved them both...especially the Laguna pair. I no longer have the pain on the side of my foot or my achilles pain now that I wear these daily. It provides the support I need and gives me the arch in my foot that I have needed all this time. In fact I just recently purchased another 2 pairs of your sport flip flops and love them as well. In fact, I wear them everywhere I go now. I am a highly satisfied customer and have promoted this product to friends as well. :) I will continue to search the site for upcoming new products.

Gail

So Comfortable!!

These are super comfortable. I especially love how you can adjust the straps to get a custom fit. I had surgery on my toe and still had a little swelling on the top of my foot. With the adjustable straps I'm able to wear these sandals without any issues. These are also great support for my flat feet. I am on my feet a lot so I need shoes with tons of support. Thanks SOLE for taking care of all the sore feet in the world!!!

Wendy

love

I just purchased my second pair of woman's Catalina Sports Flips. They are comfortable with great heel support. They fit my foot well and are perfect for me. I can walk well and for lengthy periods of time. I have these in black and turquoise and the color holds up well. I suffer from bad arthritis in my spine and have to be particular about what I wear on my feet and these enable me to be on my feet much longer than any other shoes I own.

Diana Sullivan

Love Love my SOLE Sandals

I absolutely love my SOLE products. I have Plantar Fasciitis and have a hard time finding any shoes other than custom orthotics that won't make my foot hurt. My SOLE sandals are so comfortable and I have no pain while I wear them and they last year after year.

Melissa Daugherty

My favorite flip flops!

I have high arches and typically can not wear flip flops for long. The SOLE Costa flips have enough arch support that I can wear them all day without foot pain. Love them!

Shawn Stanyar

Life Saver

As a longtime customer, I purchased 2 pairs of flips this time as my well worn ones I've had for 8-10 years are relegated to the backyard patio and pool. The Sport Flips (as usual) are extremely comfortable to wear right out of the package, and can be worn all day. The Casual Cork flips are a bit uncomfortable as my low arch tends to dig into the hard cork with little give, but I'm sure this is only temporary as they break-in. On a positive note I'm sure they will keep their shape a bit longer and support my foot better...plus they look amazing. Unrelated to this recent purchase, I also use a variety of the footbeds, and although I'm not an avid runner, I'm on my feet all day and could not imagine how much pain and fatigue I'd be in without using SOLE products.

Melissa

Little met pad, big upgrade

At this point I have many many pairs of SOLE flips flops and love the support, especially because of the met pad. I have a few pairs of insoles and they are all awesome but theres just something extra special about that little met pad!! I have some laxity issues and I truly feel like that met pad keeps my foot extra open but stable. My toes never feel bunched up or squished.

Jackie

Only flip flops I'll wear!

I have skinny, long feet with high arches and finding a comfortable flip flop that disn't hurt my feet was impossible, until SOLE started making flip flops. I have been using the insole inserts for years, but I had been unable to enjoy wearing flip flops. I love my SOLE Casual Flips so much I bought a pair for everyone in my family. They all love them, from my flat footed stepfather to my mom with high arches, to my wide footed husband. My only wish is that they would make them in childrens sizes. I have been buying them for a while and wear them all summer and most of the spring and fall. With my constant use most of them have lasted at least two years.

Randy Froese

My SOLE Flips!

I'm a 56 year old male. 6'-6" weighing 250 lbs. I bought two pairs of Sport Flips in different colors and a pair of Beach Flips. I love them all! They provide great support for my feet. I like to go for walks on hot summer nights and my feet are no longer tired after walks! Morning foot pain is reduced substantially (or pretty much GONE) after having walked the night before. That's new for me. I also love my Sport Flips for cycling on hot days. I love my Beach Flips for use at the beach, both in and out of the water. They provide protection for my feet from the rocks and quickly float to the surface when I kick them off. To top it off, I need size 14 which SOLE has. Can't find them just anywhere! I am so thankful for my new flips!!! I use one of the pairs in my apartment as recommended by my certified Pedorthist. I design for a living in a manufacturing facility and am a details person. I always appreciate good design in anything. Please thank your designers for their great work on these flips! Thank you SOLE! You make great products and have a great website! P.S. - Love the free shipping over $100!! P.P.S. - Amazing 90 day footbed guarantee allowing you to return for any reason if not satisfied (which I will not be doing)!!!!!

Healthy Solution

I have been using SOLE inserts for many years and recommend them to anyone I know or meet who is having foot or knee issues. I purchased the thins for a new pair of low hikers that do not have the room for a midweight. The reason I call these a healthy solution as I have a knee that used to give me a lot of pain when I was hiking, jogging or walking. A friend recommended trying the SOLE insert, problem solved. Since that first pair of inserts, I now use the SOLE insert in all my footwear and also find the SOLE sandals equally effective.

Yako

Best investment

My friend recommended me SOLE insoles after I spent lots of money with my podiatrist doctor . First days were a little painful but after a week no more foot pain . I was little scared about cork material but my insoles still good after 1 year used .

No more pain!!!

After wearing SOLE Active Thick my foot pain is nonexistent. I have a pair on all my shoes and now I can't live without my SOLEs.

Julia

The Best!

These insoles are totally worth every penny! They took care of my foot pain! So very thankful that I found this company.

I could walk again

I was running on the beach playing frisbee when all of a sudden I couldn't walk on my left foot and had excruciating pain. I had to hobble around on my tippy toes. After going to the Orthopedic, he recommended that the first thing I should do is get SOLE inserts made for plantar fasciitis. I went online to look and there were so many options, I was a bit confused. I called Sasha on the service desk and she quickly advised me on the proper insert. I told her I would be leaving town before I would receive them. She quickly guided me to a local dealer, where I went right down and picked up a couple of pairs. Medium and Thin. Let me tell you, I put them in my sport shoe and it was like a miracle, I could walk on my whole foot again with most of my pain was gone instantly. Since I spend most of my time in flip flops I had to get them too. They offer a lot of support and feel great. Thanks for being there for me. Your products made a real difference in my life.

Alan Morhun

Adjustable slip on

SOLE was recommended by my foot doctor and they are great for my plantar fasciitis. The new adjustable slide is fantastic, as I can now adjust it for bare feet, or if I need to wear socks. I would highly recommend this product.

Phyllis Kosakowski

Great Flip Flops

I have always worn the Sport flip flops and can't be without them but thought I'd give these a try. The foot bed is a little different but they still offer great support. The mesh strap dresses them up a little bit and they are light as a feather. You really can't go wrong!

Love these foot beds!

My physical therapist recommended these to me years ago. I have a chronic pain due to an ankle sprain, that didn't seem to be getting better. I've had a much easier time improving my ankle strength wearing these. I have had them in my walking and hiking shoes for nearly 9 years now. Wearing SOLE footbeds provides comfort and stability. I highly recommend!

Lori Cooper

Great Flip-Flop!

When I first received these, they were very, very tight. I could barely get my foot into them and the strap was super tight on the top of my foot. After wearing them for a few days, they fit perfectly now and I love them! Super comfortable with great arch support for my plantar fasciitis.

Jacob

Plantar fasciitis

I had a flare up of plantar fasciitis on my right foot that wouldn't go away regardless of how much I stretched. I tried countless insoles from other brands (some had soft gels and did not provide enough rigid support, others with carbon inserts were too rigid and didn't provide flexibility for my active livestyle) until trying these Sport Medium insoles. After heat molding them in the oven and placing it in my running shoes, I've been able to keep flare ups away. I ended up buying a set for my casual shoes and oxfords I use at work. They've elevated the level of comfort across the board on all my shoes. I'm able to walk and hike for several miles again. I've had them for over a year now, and it's made me curious as to what their lifespan is.

Finally, a shoe insert that works!

Tried numerous shoe inserts to resolve my foot pain. Found Sole shoe inserts during a Google search. Researched the product and ordered one pair. Sole insert worked for me and helped rid my foot pain. I ordered 3 more pairs for my different shoes. When my daughters had foot pain issues from soccer I ordered both girls Sole inserts. Both girls are pain free. I ended up ordering the Sole slip on sandals and strap on sandals for days I don't want to wear socks but still have my arch and ankle support. No issues with the Sole inserts to date. Have been using them for many years. I don't heat my inserts I just put them into my shoe and over a short period of time they form to my foot.

Great Product

Great product that helps my son with proper foot posture.

Lonny Smith

I have a BUNCH of Sole and Love Them All

I started wearing and using SOLE products in 2011. My first purchases were insoles and a pair of Sport Flips, then every year or so I purchase some more insoles. I have also purchased a pair of Exhale shoes that I still wear to this date. I turned my wife on to SOLE a few years back and she wore out a pair of the Cork Flips, she also wears the insoles. So here's the deal. I have extreme over pronation of one foot. SOLE products allowed me to survive 4 years without surgery. I had corrective surgery, terrible, terrible surgery for PTTD. It was brutal. My foot is somewhat better but still painful. SOLE products continue to provide the support that I need to continue living an active life. I would not be without my SOLE footwear or insoles. As I write this I have a pair of Sport Slips from 2013 (that are just about wore out) that I am wearing, and in a bit when I put my hiking boots on my feet will sit on some SOLES. Really, if you want great support and comfort, buy some SOLE products. I am a believer, my wife is a believer, and anyone that asks us gets a strong testimonial from us.

Marissa Jordan

Lovin' my Lagunas

I've tried several styles of SOLE flips including the Beach, Casual and Sport. The Laguna's are by far my fave!!!! They are super comfy, with all the same arch support as the other great SOLE products. The fabric is soft with elastic like stretch so they fit well. The cork is durable. It feels softer than the other styles I've tried, almost springy. It moves with my foot. These are for sure my new go to SOLE flips!

Womens Sport Flips

Have had three pairs of womens Sport Flips - one pair was worn out, one got ate by a labradoodle puppy and I am still wearing the third. I wear these constantly due to a major foot injury. No pain and mobility! Recommend them to anyone with foot/feet issues.

Tracy Broder

Excellent

Love these flip flops. Started buying the insoles due to foot pain and I now have very happy feet. Super awesome that you can get these great flip flops for summer. They really help as I have a very high arch and no other flip flop or insole would work. Highly recommend!!!!

Victoria

excellent products

Hi all. Over the last 2 years I have purchased the men's Cork Flips. I have a size 12 ladies foot so very hard to find a sassy functional flip flop. My prayers answered. I will continue to purchase these through out my years. I had one pair where the cork bed split. I emailed SOLE and they sent me a replacement pair no questions asked. That is customer service. I work in Healthcare and am very aware that you have to look after your feet. I tell everyone I know about this company. Cheers to an excellent product.

foot relief

I recently was prescribed orthotics, which are so expensive, but I have supplemented them in other pairs of shoes with SOLE insoles quite effectively!

Lorraine MacDonald

Amazing

I was referred to your product by my pedorthic clinic (Katie Whalen) where I was fitted with insoles for my plantar fasciitis. I have now ordered 3 pair of these flips and I love them !!!! I have a narrow foot but they wrap and hold my feet in place very comfortably. I wear a pair around the house as a slipper for the summer ( would you ever consider making a slipper)? I would definitely buy them!

Jason Sanders

The Absolute Best

These flip flops are just awesome for someone with foot problems (and to help prevent problems in people who don't already have foot problems). The arch support and heel fit the contours of the foot perfectly; and the knit strap is very comfortable on the top of the foot. I've tried other flip flops that were supposedly made to fit the foot, but these are by far the absolute best and most comfortable.

Fitting Wide Toe Boxes

Needing a wide toe-box shoe for hiking 1000 km on the Camino Santiago in Spain, I couldn't afford custom orthotics, so I searched for the best alternative insole out there. I settled on the heat-moldable SOLE Active Wide Thick and was so wonderfully satisfied that I bought a 2nd pair for training for the long walk. Foot fatigue went away and the extra cushioning helped the trail runners. I had plunge through gravel paths and carry me over long stretches of hot, hard asphalt. My knees were happy again. If you have any of the Altra brand or other wide toe-box shoes, please consider SOLE Active Wide for your next adventure, or even for your workplace. I tried so many other brands without success. Mold these to your own feet. You won't regret it. I don't.

Fred Rossomando

Excellent!

These inserts are terrific! They fit perfectly and they have reduced my foot pain for almost 1 year now. They were endorsed by my physical rehab person.

I ordered the Lifestyle Medium to put into my casual sneakers that lack comfort and support. The SOLE inserts fit perfectly into my sneakers and allowed me to walk around all day without having the usual knee and foot pain I normally would have.

Amanda

Love them!

I've had foot surgery on both my feet and these are the only flip flops I can wear. I wear them year round :-)

My experience says these are the best

I had been in the running and fitness industry and a runner when I came across SOLE. I've used custom-made orthotics and just about every over the counter brand due to several bouts of plantar fasciitis, until I came across SOLE. Highly rigid orthotics make feet weaker and diminish the runner's ability to use natural mechanics for push off and landing. What I wanted was support but not something akin to plywood underfoot. My running buddies used to call me plywood because I would wear supportive running shoes AND orthotics. CLOMP CLOMP here I come! So I began to experiment with several different brands of orthotics and since I was in the industry it wasn't cost prohibitive. I tried SuperFeet, Powerstep, SofSole, even Dr. Scholls. Despite the claims, they did not seem to mold to my foot and ranged from too soft to too rigid. In addition as a runner I was always talking to experts about biomechanics and stride. Just because of have flexible arches, I thought, doesn't mean I should not be able to find my most efficient stride (I was running up to 65 miles a week). I came across SOLE and with my usual skepticism, tried them. With different thicknesses of their base, the SOLE orthotics immediately offered support and comfort. I didn't feel as if I had a rigid board underfoot but a support that seemed to move with my shoe. I even moved to a neutral shoe (Saucony Ride among others). The SOLE orthotic provided the right amount of resistance to pronation without eliminating it entirely so I was still able to move efficiently. I loved how with use they molded to my foot (You don't have to heat them, they're moldable through use). I have several pairs I use in casual shoes (thin) and in work and hiking boots (thick) and rely on SOLE for support. They are durable; don't tell the company this but I used the thin in my casual/business shoes for three years (way beyond the life expectancy, I know and I've since replaced them). Not only are the products great, I like the company, its mission and their customer service. I like that they were founded in Canada and do business worldwide (including offices/warehouse in the US). If you think this review is a little gushing, my apologies. I have very few companies I truly love and support. Sole is one of the few.

Diana

Great

Love these, felt strange at first but felt great in no time. Will definitely get another pair, probably will try the cork ones. Seem to fit my foot to a tee. No pain like in flat flip flops.

Terry Heinrich

Nice Arch Fit

I recently purchased the Men's Sport Flips. I like the arch support the sandal gives. The foot bed is comfortable and soft but firm where it needs to be. The length of the shoe fits perfectly. I find it is a tight fit around the strap area. I'm thinking the strap will stretch a little to make this more comfortable and less tight fitting. Otherwise, I have no complaints with my purchase.....Thank you in advance...Terry H.

Great Sandals

This my third pair of Sole cork flips and they are pretty much my go to footwear for the summer. Previously i had purchased them at MEC, but this time went to the source. Delivery was fast and the transaction was painless. I love these sandals because of the fit. I have size 12 feet, and find that a lot of flip flop type sandals just don't stay on my feet. These ones always do, and the foot bed is incredibly comfortable, molding to your foot shape and providing support. 10/10 Would purchase again.

A New Level of Comfort

These were recommended to me by a Podiatrist, and in fact I bought my first pair from him. Dr. Costanza said if these don't work, you're going to need orthotic inserts. Working at the time in health care managing a medical laboratory often alone, I spent many hours on my feet running across concrete floors with little to no support. I bought shoes and or boots with thick padded layers between my feet for those surfaces but it wasn't until I tried SOLE that I noticed a significant difference. Over the years I have been using SOLE Active Thick inserts, I've noticed that for me, a overweight middle age man, changing the inserts out about every 2 months give me the highest level of comfort. I break mine in the natural way, allowing my feet to mold into the inserts over time. I've tried a lot of different inserts and I can tell you that none, 0, zero, and I mean nobody else even comes close to the level of comfort in SOLE. Recommended by professionals and by me a retired medical professional, there is no better support for your foot than SOLE.

Sue Rumi

Can't take them off!

These Del Mar Sport flips are super comfy. I have been wearing SOLE flip flops for 4 years now and they are my "go to" footwear. I use them as slippers inside the house and wear them most days outside. I have walked around sightseeing all day in them and had no issues with sore feet or blisters. This is my 7th pair of SOLES and I will continue to buy them as my foot problems have disappeared since I began wearing them. Thanks for saving my feet SOLE!

love Sole products

I have multiple SOLE products. Flips to foot beds. They are best the most comfortable footwear out there. I've had a knee replaced and they helped me recover!!! Love

Donna Beattie

Long time fan

I've been wearing your SOLE shoes for about 10 years and have at least a dozen pairs. I have unbearable foot pain from metatarsalgia and only a metatarsal arch relieves it. Many thanks!

Love!

I live my footbeds. I have two pairs for myself and got my husband a pair. It has made such a difference in my back pain and knee pain! I have a pair of the Thin ones for my dress shoes and again such an amazing difference. I purchased the Laguna cork flip flops as a mother's day gift and I must say they are not holding up like I though they would have. The cork foot beds are cracking in several places and they are not just barely three months old.

SOLE insole

I walked around for years with chronic foot pain, I had bought medical orthotics and wanted to have foot comfort for all my shoes. I found sole footbeds, tried them, now I have them in all my shoes, even bought the flip flops and my feet feel great! No more doctor visits. I have recommended them to all my friends and family.

Joseph Castronovo

Orthotics

Hands down SOLE makes the best inserts. I have been using them for years. In my late 20s I had horrible foot pain. I went to doctors and physical therapy but nothing helped until one of the physical therapist recommended to try these inserts. I tried them out and within a couple of weeks the planter fasciitis was gone and the pain was gone. I have been wearing them in every pair of shoes and sneakers since.

Jody

Fabulous customer support!

LOVE these shoes! I'd had some foot trouble in the past and was looking for some orthotic shoes. I couldn't find any that were half decent looking but then I found these. Stylish, supportive and durable! Also I'd like to give a shout out for the customer service (Sasha) on this site. It was amazing. They stand behind their product and want their customers to be satisfied. I did have some issues with a different style sandal but the issue was rectified to my complete satisfaction. Thank you!

Lana

Great foot beds / insoles

It's been almost 3 years since I initially bought SOLE footwear and footbeds. I had painful plantar fasciitis and was referred to this company by a relative. Although I did not experience immediate results, over time between SOLE and good footwear, my foot pain has gone away. I definitely recommend SOLE and especially the footbeds. Thanks SOLE!!!

Sue

Super comfortable

Just received my new Costa flips. The strap is super comfortable and my foot issue has resolved itself after only 2 days of wear. These are my 6th pair of Sole flip flops and I won't live without them. I use them as slippers inside the house and outside whenever there is no snow on the ground. Highly recommend...and have to many friends.

These sandals are money!

Loving my new flips. The knit strap looks and feels great, and I feel awesome knowing that I am standing on recycled wine corks. On top of that, it's really nice to have a sandal that has some support and isn't flat under foot too. I can already feel them helping my plantar fasciitis. Would highly recommend.

amy havranek

Highly Recommend

I just wanted to share my amazing experience w/ sole insoles. I have had plantar fasciitis for 10 yrs. My old podiatrist retired 5 years ago. Each year I keep getting custom made orthos and each year they are made wrong. I have been suffering and relying on steroids. My feet got worse and then I developed achilles tendonitis & extensor tendonitis. Even my gastrocnemius muscle started to spasm. I went back to another foot dr & and did 3 months of PT and the new custom made ones hurt even more. I could barely stand in the shower or make it through the grocery store. Then I bought SOLE, it was instant heaven. I know have 3 pairs. I started 2 weeks ago but I am 98% percent pain free while wearing them. I'm sure it will take more time to fully recover. I am in love with SOLE and cannot live without them. THANK YOU

say goodbye to foot pain

Best insoles I have ever worn. I had horrible plantar fascia and shin splint pain and now it is completely gone. Thank you, SOLE!

Saved my feet

I've been using various Sole footbeds for several years and can say that I've found nothing better. I have high arches and work construction, sometimes on my feet for most of a 12 hour, or longer, shift and have developed plantar fasciitis as a result. I've tried other brands with varying results but, Sole footbeds are the ones that have made a huge difference, so much so that my feet rarely bother me anymore. The thing I like about them is that they are heat moldable. Because my arches are so high and longer than normal, I actually gently heat my new Soles with a heat gun and mold more arch into them than they come with. Doing so I can slightly over-mold them and they conform to the exact shape of my foot after wearing them for a few days. Without doing that It would mean costly custom orthotics. My youngest son was cursed with the same feet as mine and we both use Sole. Thanks for the excellent product.

James LaCroix

Lasted FOREVER! Awesome value!

Purchased through my foot doctor because of plantar fasciitis, I questioned spending so much for "flip flops." After wearing them for a few days, I knew they would help my feet. But after EIGHT YEARS of almost daily wear, my Sole cork slides finally suffered a broken thong, clearly illustrating the value of Sole footwear! Totally getting way more than your money's worth!

Sandra

Sandals

I've been wearing these for a few days now and absolutely LOVE them. They're so comfortable, the midsole molds to your foot. I have the black pair and I'm thinking I need some more in different colors!!! Wonderful that the footbed is made from 100% recycled cork. Great product.

Rachel

LOVE MY NEW RECYCLED CORK FLIPS!

Just got back from a week in Mexico with my new flips and I have to say I love them! Wore them everywhere I went. They immediately took away the pain from the plantar fasciitis in my right foot caused from other flat sandals. I am really digging the new sleek look too. And the recycled cork story is so cool! I'll drink to that. Love love love. Highly recommend.

So far, so good

Recently was sidelined from running for two months due to a stress injury in metatarsal. Doc recommended these. First run back was today, and with no pain. You can actually feel the transfer of weight being dispersed throughout the foot, rather than just certain areas. Took a ton off of the pads of my feet. Heavy things, but man do they help with the pounding that feet take from NYC pavement.

Awesome footbeds

Moving to New York, I became a public transit commuter walking 4-5 miles every day, not always with the best kind of shoes. Unfortunately, I developed a foot neuroma and a podiatrist recommended custom orthotics. I found these foot beds and decided to try them first. After a very short time, my neuroma resolved and I now walk without pain. After a year of daily use, it is time to replace my original pair. Thank you for such an awesome product.

Just like my 400 dollar orthotics

I have PF bought so many orthodics and none helped. Went to foot surgeon and got custom orthodics. These sole insoles looked just like my 400 dollars ones so i tried them. They feel the same and my foot pain is under control.

Good support, I wish there was more cushioning in the heel!

I've suffered from plantar fasciitis & a heel spur for years & just had surgery on one foot for it. I've worn these insoles for several years as well as supportive Brooks shoes. Soles are recommended by my doctor & offer the best support but are not cushioned enough in the heels for me! I still have heel pain when wearing them. I wish they had a style with extra cushioning in the heels. At this point I'm searching for a more cushioned alternative, but having difficulty finding one. May try the Vionic insoles next to see how they compare.

judy reber

best ever!

I wear these sandals year round. I am a vendor at the Minnesota State Fair and no other shoe gives me 12 hour a day, 12 day straight comfort like these...they are absolutely amazing! I sell skin care for the feet and my heels can take a beating in regular sandals...these do not dry your feet out and along with my skin cream my feet always look great! Cannot say enough about them...oh and did I mention my feet never hurt after a long day on concrete...you know how trade shows can be. My foot Doc friend suggested these to me and I've never gone back. Once I needed some sandals for Hawaii and needed them on the spot...went to Nordstroms and purchased the $80. a pair of the Hawaiian brand they were selling. They were black on black. Not only do they not give the support they suggested they did but the black sole would stain my heels...really bad! And to have spent $80 for them? Thank you Sole for making an incredible product. I take pride in my products and have been selling them for over 25 years so I really appreciate great quality and a product that says what it does and does it! Take good care, Judy Reber Owner Merino Skin Care USA & The Crack Blaster!

Life Changing

I suffer from foot pain and these are the only orthotics or inserts that have ever helped. Without them I could not do my job which requires many hours hiking with a full back pack. It is a miracle to be mostly pain free! Worth every single penny.

Kathleen

Very happy with this purchase!

Received these sandals this afternoon...amazing speedy delivery service! I had tried the flip-flop but find that I prefer the freedom of walking with sandals that have straps which then make my stride more comfortable and natural. The flip-flop was a little big for me in the size 6, however size 6 in the Navigate fit perfectly. I opened the box right away and eagerly put these Navigate sandals on and am very, very pleased! They feel great! Looking forward to long term use and the moulding of the foot-bed that will take place. Thank you Sole for great customer service!

Carmen Sanders

Foot pain

I have been wearing SOLE insoles, blister socks, and flips for years. Navigate sandals are lightweight and super comfortable I can stay on my feet all day. The best products for my feet and awesome customer service! Thank you SOLE

Angela

Painless!

I bought a pair of the SOLE Sport Slides after foot surgery to use as an indoor shoe following a suggestion from my podiatrist. I loved them! After another bunion surgery, I developed a neuroma. In my SOLE shoes, I didn't have the burning. In my runners with custom orthotics, I did. I went to find another pair of SOLE shoes for outdoor use. I came across these sandals and they have not disappointed me! I am a teacher so am on my feet a lot. I have worn these all day at work and have not had any episodes! I am so happy with these shoes.

HAPPY FEET - Best Sandals for Foot/Back

BEST SANDALS EVER! SERIOUSLY! I have had two foot surgeries which caused me back pain due to posture instabilities so wearing supportive shoes/sandals is VERY important to me. These sandals were recommended and now these sandals go everywhere with me! They offer the perfect amount of support and help to ensure proper alignment of your foot and back. You can wear them comfortably for hours and hours of walking. Will tell anyone who has back or foot issues who will listen to me how great they are! The customer care team is lovely, super responsive and stand behind their products. Can't recommend enough how great these sandals are. So happy I was able to find them. You won't regret one bit purchasing them.

William Hau

I have MULTIPLE Pairs!

I wanted to review after I had at least a year of wear under my belt. I was frustrated with the plethora of cheap and pseudo-orthotic plastic-rubber products on the market. I have Psoriatic Arthritis that has impacted my feet. I am in my mid 40's now and my conditions is well-controlled. After a recommendation from a friend, I tried SOLE Sport Flips 3 years ago. I was immediately turned on! The features that have resonated the most with me are the metatarsal footpad, deep heel cup, machine washability and durability. I now have 2 pairs of Sport Flips and 1 Pair of Sport Slides. There is 1 pair in my gym bag for the gym and Taekwondo. Perfect for the beach... ANYWHERE. The deep heel cup prevents the foot from sliding all over the place, as they would in the lesser-quality products. After a few weeks of getting the world all over them, I toss them into the washer and they come out just as though I had opened the box from the mail. I dare say they are more comfortable than the $400 custom orthotics I had prepared for me by a podiatrist. I travel for work and I ALWAYS have a pair of SOLES with me. My wife is a believer as well. My son refers to me as the flip flop wearing parent. I'll take that.

Steve

Sole for me

Years ago I bought Sole's Exhale shoes. I use 'em as slippers mostly, every day, year-round. I got 2 back-up pairs after the first. Still wearing the first. The top of the fold-down heel is a bit worn, but the footbed and structure are still 100%!! When I feel like it, I wear one of the newer pairs out and about, very versatile look. I have a prescription orthotic footbeds to protect my high arches from strain. When I cross over from my mouldable Sole Thin Casual footbed in my favorite shoes to the pair with the custom made bed, I recognize I'll never pay the price for a custum make again. My mouldable Sole footbeds fit better, are thinner and save me a ton of coin. After moulding in the oven and a day of wear, there isn't a spot that hasn't confirmed to my foot and it really feels like my shoe is just a perfect match and fit. Awesome products. Love your Sole!!

Fantastic quality - useable in all sorts of boots/shoes

I needed an insole with great support and enough warmth to climb up 14,000ft to the top of Mount Rainier. In comparing to other products (Superfeet included) I could tell these were made for durability and would provide greater support. The Superfeet also did not match up with my arch and were very painful. These were fantastic, molded to my foot a little bit and still 2.5 years later are still providing me support in my casual everyday shoes (so yes, they do work in medium volume shoes!). If you need extreme warmth, you might want the insulated products from SOLE. I was standing on a glacier for 3 days so I could tell they soles were getting a little cool from my frozen plastic mountaineering boot, but overall, these are fantastic for skiing, moderately cold mountaineering and anything else (such as everyday wear). They will last you years and years of continued abuse.

Stephanie Thiess

Best arch support ever

I found these from a review on Amazon about my normal Orthaheel shoes. The reviewer felt these were much better, which sounded hard to believe to me. So I was shocked when I tried these on to learn that they ARE better than any shoe I've ever tried. (A lot!) these are better than orthaheel because not only do they have perfect arch support but they allow for that natural place under the toes that also needs support, the heel bed is deep enough to support proper ankle position also. An old ankle injury and severe plantar fasciitis is getting amazing relief since wearing these shoes. I love them and I bought 4 (don't judge me ;) foot pain relief is no joke!) I have 1 pair for outside shoes, 1 pair for inside shoes (we don't wear outside shoes in the house) and an extra backup for each in case these get discontinued like happens sometimes. Brilliant design!

Linn

Great shoes!

My podiatrist recommended these shoes (I have PTTD that I'm treating along with tailor's bunions) and they are wonderful. I am thankful for your customer service rep's recommendation to go up a size as well. I am an 8 and she suggested a size 9, and the fit is perfect. The sole is wide enough to accommodate my entire foot, while other brands' soles are too narrow for my flat feet. The straps are comfortable, and do not bother my bunions. Thank you so much for these! I feel like they were made for me.

Two Big Toes Up

My foot surgeon required that I wear orthotic inserts after I had a midfoot ligament repaired. It's a nasty surgery and long recovery, and he recommended this brand. These are the first inserts I've ever worn and they feel great. I think I need something a bit heavier for right now but I'm keeping these for bumming around the house for sure.

Geoffrey Iles

Great plantar faciitis relief:

I have planter faciitis and have used inserts with the jelly soft spot under the heel coupled with an arch support but they were not nearly aggressive enough. I looked at "Your soles" insert and liked the aggressive arch, tried them and immediately felt relief from the pain even though they lack the jell at the heel. My plantar faciitis improves each day I wear them. My only fear is that they may be accommodating my foot too well lessening the plantar fascia relief. Should I have done the oven treatment only, to preserve their original shape? I am seriously thinking of purchasing the sandals, just wish they had a model with more toe protection!

John Russell

Just the best

I have extremely flat feet and pronation, which causes foot pain, knee pain and especially lower back pain. I found SOLE about 5 years ago and have remained a loyal customer because I DON'T LIVE IN PAIN ANYMORE! I simply will not put shoes on my feet without a pair of these footbeds in them. Everything I own - dressy wingtips, casual boat shoes, sneakers, golf shoes, hiking boots, winter boots - all have a pair of SOLEs in them! I even bought their flip flops, which have been a summer time Godsend.

Victoria

Loves the Lofts

I can't go anywhere without these boots! The most comfortable thing I own. At first they feel tight but after an hour or two they begin to break in and shape to your foot. Now I look at the other boots in my closet as bookends...

Charlene

Great FlipFlop

I love these sandals. I have four pairs in different colors. They are a little tight at first but because the sole molds to your foot, they soon fit just right. I can wear them all day comfortably and go for walks in them.

Ron

Softec Ultra

I have been fighting back pain since I broke my back a year ago April. A month ago I came down with plantar fascia strain which I have had 4 times in the last 10 years. The last two weeks I could hardly walk without excruciating pain. A week ago I had an appointment with my dermatologist and the subject of plantar fascia strain came up and he told me about your site. He tried to explain what the insole was and suddenly he took off his shoe and handed me one. How many doctors today would do that? I ordered a pair of your mens softec ultra and they arrived in 2 days. I tore out the insole of a pair of running shoes and they fit perfectly. I tried on the shoes and I have not had one bit of pain from my plantar fascia strain. Before I was wearing a gel cup for the heel given to me by an orthopaedic foot surgeon. Your product is every thing it claims, I have recommended your products to friends and my on call nurse.

Awesome!

Thin Sport Footbeds solved my foot pain and I didn't need to get orthotics. I don't even notice them in my sneakers and it's the first time ever my arches feel fully supported.

manny

Foot pains

I have normal arches in both feet but I developed bilateral plantar fasciitis in late 2012 due to the use of a pair of work shoes which did not flex in the metatarsophalangeal area. I decided to give these SOLE Softec Ultra Footbeds a try. I felt some pain relief on the third day. Pains were completely relieved after 3 months of use. I now use these insoles in my work shoes, tennis shoes and running shoes. I do not go out without them even after I have been pain free for almost 2 years. I have 6 pairs of the Softec Ultras. I have been recommending them to my patients.

Heather

The best flip flop - ever.

I have tried so many flip flops. These are the only ones that are perfectly cushioned, but also have great arch and metatarsal support (taking the pressure off my big toe joint). They wrap around my slightly narrow foot like they were custom made. I wear a 9-9.5, and a 9 in these is perfect. I bought pairs for my mom and sister, too (neither have the big toe problems I do) and the smile and response was identical the second they put they them on... "Aaahh, that's nice." Please expand the SOLE footwear line - this footbed is incredible!!!

Sonia

RELIEF

I suffer from arthritis in my toes and was limping terribly. Orthotics helped for full shoes but was too warm for summer. Tied these on advice of shoe store. RELIEF was almost instantaneous. I can't emphasize too much how these have helped my feet. Thank you!

Lisa Charles

BEST-EVER!

I hurt my back about 4 1/2 years ago. Since then I have spent more $$ than I care to share trying to find comfortable shoes. Alas, I tried these at the referral of a friend. OMG, I LOVE THESE SHOES. I put these on the minute I arrive from the office and they feel great! Purchasing my second pair now. Thanks Sole!

Kelley

long distance runner.

I'm a long distance runner and former marathon runner. I came across Sole about 7 years ago While surfing the internet. I pronate really bad always had to wear orthodtics they were about 500.00 i couldnt afford them anymore so i thought i would try Sole. Im so glad i did i got the signature - karnazes and i have been wearing them every since. Thank you so much because Sole really work.

ian

Best footwear & best service

I spend a lot of time in sandals & have tried almost every top brand available as I found walking long distances in them uncomfortable. I've suffered everything from bruised soles to shin splints over the years. Then I was bought a pair of Sole flips, the difference is amazing, shock absorption and foot support is second to none. The service is outstanding, replacing my initial pair with smaller without quibble. Never again will I be suffering from wearing those overpriced Brazilian and German equivalents which just do not compare in quality or service. My feet thank you.

Lena Odie

None Other

Since a knee injury several years back, I looked into orthotics but came across a store where they sold these sandals. Since than, I'm on my 4th or 5th pair of women's sandals and wear them day in day out! I wish they were more affordable, though are worth every penny!! They are truly the best, there is none other!

Miriam

Healthy Shoes

I am a connoisseur of healthy shoes. I have owned just about every brand out there in every price point. The SOLE sandals are the best flip flop style shoe I have ever worn. Don't let the casual style fool you - these are more comfortable, more supportive, and better fitting than many strap-on styles. They fit snug to the foot, so you don't have to crunch your toes while you walk. The sole is so supportive in every spot, it's hard to go barefoot anymore. But if it seems too snug at first, or the sole seems too firm, do give it time because as you get used to the shoe you'll notice something amazing happen. The sole seems to mold to your own foot, and it gets more and more comfy as it does. I have the cork footbed model and the slides, and both are hard to take off. Lucky for me I live in a climate where sandals are the shoe of choice eight months of the year.

Richard

Excellent Product

These insoles have made it possible for me to walk long distances again, as I used to do before developing plantar fascitis about 18 months ago. I've been using them for 9 months with great success. Recommended by a podiatrist I saw. Nothing else was required. I bought 2 pairs -- one for dress shoes, and a thicker one for runners and trail shoes. Excellent product and very good value.

A great sole

My husband and I were traveling fromMaine to Florida and somewhere during the trip, I lost one of my insoles. As soon as we landed inFlorida we set out to find a new pair. At a running store, we came across Sole and they are the best over the counter insoles I have ever had. I have suffered with flat feet since a child and have had a few bouts of plantar fasciitis. These are an excellent product and I will be purchasing a pair for my golf shoes, and two more pairs for my other sneakers.

Heather

LOVE these socks

These have been my favorite socks since I was introduced to them just over 6 years ago. I LOVE them. They have no seals and a great snug fit around my foot arch. These are the only socks I run in!

Jodie

My savior

These shoes are the only shoes that keep me sane. I stand over 10 hours a day at work. I was suffering from posterior tibial tendonitis (from running) and they were the only shoe (along with the sole flip flop) that got me through. I have recently suffered another injury to my other foot (strains and inflammation) and they have been the only shoe I could wear since being out of the cam boot. Thank you SOLE!

Best Insoles Ever!

I have been suffering from Plantar fasciitis for over a year now. Went to podiatrist and he put me in another brand of insoles. I had little to no improvement. He told me the next step was custom inserts and that my insurance would not cover the $450 cost. I found these moldable inserts after reading several great reviews. I can actually feel the support on the arch of my foot! I FINALLY am pain free. I have told 2 different people on my tennis team and they went out and bought them. They told me yesterday that both of them can already feel relief. Thank you so much for making a wonderful product. I thought I would never feel relief!!

Geoff Liddy

freedom of wearing flops

Ever since I tried on a friends pair of SOLE Flips few years ago, I've thrown out every other flop I owned. From a car accident, I suffer the remnants of a right-ankle injury and your flops arch and support are wonderful. They literally gave me back the freedom of wearing flops comfortably. And I can assure you , as a South Florida outdoor enthusiast I live in flops J.

Jorge Pena

Best Product in the market

I test trialed this product a few years back, and without hesitation can say I would never contemplate switching brands. I am currently on my second deployment with my original pair. First was Iraq, now Afghanistan. The terrain here is absolutely brutal, unforgiving some may say. But SOLE rises to the occasion and simply delivers, always...guaranteed!

tanya

nice pair

I have been suffering from Plantar fasciitis and my physiotherapist recommended using sole products, being expensive i didnt order for long time, but it came to extent that I couldnt tolerate pain, so I thought i should give a try and ordered them. now I wear everyday to even work and feel so comfortable that somebody is protecting my feet. I dont feel any more pain wearing them. I think these are worth each penny than paying hundreds of dollars for physiotherapy. the only downside which I see is little broader around toes

Lou

Fabulous Shoe

I am a size 8.5, but the size 9 was too big for me. Sole just sent me a size 8 and it is a perfect fit. The comfort level cannot be described in words, and fabulous is an understatement. My podiatrist carries Sole insoles, so I ordered these online. He knows foot care, and Sole only sells the best. My love and thanks to Sole for happy feet.

Tom

Plantar fasciitis + Squash

Might sound crazy to spend half as much the price of a performance athletic shoe for an insole, but there is nothing better that I've found on the market for managing/preventing foot pain like Plantar fasciitis. Squash is incredibly tough on your feet. I ALWAYS use these (and happily buy them). Great product SOLE.

GREAT boots

I bought these boots because my UGGS were killing my plantar fasciitis. I had already bought a pair of SOLE flip flops and loved them. These boots were great. I wore them hunting and my feet did not hurt much at all hiking through the woods. I would highly recommend them if you suffer from plantar fasciitis.

John

Marathoner

I have had these for over 2 years when my Sports Injury Surgeon recommended them, because I had a blister problem. I have run 3 half marathons and 2 full in these and have'n't had a single blister since. I run about 1500 miles a year and wear these on every run except two. The two I didn't wear them, I got blisters. I am at the point now where I will need another pair, but the best thing ever. Thanks Doc and thank you SOLE.

jules

I love em

I live in these flips.....I have wide feet, bunions and like a lot of support for my arches...I can walk the city in these flips and not complain about my feet at night!!

Best I've found yet

Pros: they actually fit into some of my casual shoes (boots, loafers and actually one pair of ballet flats! but I had to tear out the original foot bed from the ballet shoe). I have a small foot (size 5.5) and it's nearly impossible to find shoes that I can fit an insole into but these are the most thin & narrow that I have found. I have PF and I'm young so I don't want to wear tennis shoes every day so these have at least given me some other options. Cons: the little holes actually irritate my foot/skin after several hours. I don't think those are needed. They are 'hard' but then it seems all insoles/arch supports are.

F Filipchuk

Excellent quality

Purchased these flips as I love flip flops and this brand has the support I need. I have rheumatoid arthritis and effects my feet. These flips are so comfortable and support the whole foot bed! Excellent product! Can wear them pretty much all day, and foot not sore or tired! Thank you, hugely recommend this product.

Best work shoes I've ever owned

I am a waiter and I also run ultra marathons for fun. Sole flip slops have been the only product I've found to help relieve my foot pain (most often, Plantar Fasciitis). The only time I spend good money on a shoe is for my running, but I have never found a comfortable work shoe. I took a gamble on these and they were totally worth it! I wear a size 9 normally (size 9 1/2 in my trail shoes) but I took the sole reps recommendation and went with a size 10. They're a little loose, but I feel the 9 probably would've been too tight. Anyways, These are awesome. They feel like I'm wearing flip flops at work and they look professional too! My feet have never been happier, I wish I would've looked into these a long time ago. Thanks Sole!

Scuba Diver Loves These!

These are great socks! The dual-layers really help reduce friction. I am a scuba diver and after my week long dive trips with 3 dives a day I would head home with major sores on my toes from friction in my dive boots. I decided to try these socks in my boots and presto....no sores! They fit snug and when you first look at them you might think "are these really going to fit my foot?" They do! I'm buying more!

Virginia Rainville

Virginia from Princeton, Mass.

I have plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and severe pronation in both feet. I began walking daily this past January and am walking up to 7 miles per day. this is possible because I am wearing great Brooks Running shoes, Control style, and very importantly...I always have my Sole Softec Ultra footbeds in every pair of shoes I own. They are wonderful. They are the thickest footbed Sole makes. They provide lots of cushioning and control, to keep my heel positioned right where it should be. I love them. I highly recommend them to anyone with similar foot problems. If it wasn't for the combo of great sneakers and great footbeds, I would not be able to walk as much as I am. Thank you Sole for a great product!

Cheryl Phillips

The BEST!!!

I have tried other insoles and none have been as comfortable as these! Don't waste your money on any other footbeds, these are the BEST on the market and their customer service is second to none!! Since wearing these my plantar foot pain and knee problems have gone away. I even bought a pair of soft house mocassins and put a pair of insoles in them to wear when working in the kitchen or doing housework and now I can work for hours with no pain on hard surfaces. I do not bake them in the oven because they feel better brand new and they will form to your foot after a week.

Christopher Lundquist

Great Product

I have had my Softec Ultra's for about 2 years now, and they have had a dramatic impact on my feet. I was told by my chiropractor that I was flat footed, which I never thought about before, and also effected the pain level of my sciatica problem, but after getting these new soles and doing a couple of sessions with the chiropractor he helped me to be able to walk aging with minimal pain.

Perfect for my Derby Skates

I play roller derby and skate on a size 4.5 Riedell boot. The women's size 7 fits perfect in my boot with just a tiny bit of trimming along the toes to fit width. (I wear a 6.5 normal shoe) I've had a lot of arch problems with my right pushing foot and these have been a big help in easing the pain.

Mark Jordan

FINALLY - After 25 Years.

It's true. I've been snowboarding for 25 years and have suffered through all of the big name boots with high arches & insteps, to the point that I was convinced foot pain and numb toes were simply part of the sport. Saving an extremely long saga, these footbeds have rejuvenated my love for the carve. They have allowed me to focus on my experience rather than how many more runs I can get in before I have to pack it in and take off my boots.

Greig Taylor

Comfort Guaranteed

As a member of the armed forces we are on our feet a lot, both in boots and trainers. I had an issue with the old issued boots and got Altberg peacekeeper aqua's instead. Trying on these new boots they were SO comfortable yet supportive, however when adding these insole's, if i was blindfolded i would have said i had another pair of boots that were so much more comfortable than the Atlbergs. I now even stand (being flat footed) with a better pronation. I cannot recommend these insoles enough. They are the Dogs...

Margaret Herbert

Comfortable dress boots

This is the first pair of "dress" boots I have been able to wear in years because of foot issues (I generally wear shock absorbing shoes with SOLE footbeds and SOLE slides.) They are low heeled, comfortable and easy to get on and off thanks to the zipper and gusset. There is enough room in the calf area for most to wear with skinny jeans. I wear a size 8 1/2 and ordered up as recommended. The foot is a bit large, but fits fine with heavy socks.

Cheryl Blaquiere

Very Comfortable

I have been wearing the Sole insoles for about a year now with no issues whatsoever and find them very comfortable for my needs and daily activities. They were recommended to me by my podiatrist after discovering I have Mortons neuroma in the left foot and plantar facisatis in both feet.

Will Pfeiffer

Great Flips!

These flips are awesome.. they are the only flips I have that I can wear an entire day walking without foot pain, particularly in my arches. Yes.. the web over the top of the foot is a little tight to begin with, but over time as you break them in they offer a perfectly snug fit that I can wear with confidence in a variety of terrains without losing a flip.

Lloyd English

I could hear angels singing

Over the past three years I have been from Walmart to Footsmart buying inserts to help with my foot pain; I even purchased two differnt types of custom inserts. When I walked into the Virginia Runners store in Fredericksburg, Va, put the Softec Ultra Footbeds in my shoe, and took a few steps, the clouds parted, the sun came out, and I could hear angels singing. Thank you !, thank you!, thank you!.

Keith Ashmore

Colavita Cycling Loves these socks!

We (the team) have been using the Lightweight Sport Socks for two years now. We love the fit, and the feel of these in our cycling shoes. They are thin and comfortable for those long rides, and intense workouts. Breath and evaporate sweat easily, very streachy fabric, and the left and right logo designation helps keep things "on the right foot". Try em, you'll be stoked! Keifer Colavita SW Cycling Team

pain cured

I'm a Diesel Mech and stand on concrete all day in boots. Had no support. I bought a pair of Softec Ultra because my daily plantar pain was killing me from first step out of bed and any time i would stand up I would limp because of pain. I did everything the doctor said except buy 350.00 special orthos.My daughter is in the army and told me about soles they all use them to run. They have great support. Doctor said I had a collapsed, arch. I did not even put in oven I use as they are. Six months later I was cured. I'm even running again at 50 two miles every other day.Have a pair in all my shoes now. Do not buy orthos without trying this product.50.00 over 350. any day. I have had foot problems all my life. I've tried all the inserts on the market. These the only one that worked less orthos. I glad to discuss this with anyone my E-mail was provided to Sole

Chris Summers

Softec Ultra

I have had a pair for two years. To this day there is no sign of ware. They are truly amazing. I am an athletic trainer and Sole is my go to foot bed for all my athletes.

eli soto

AHHHH

Loved this product. From the moment I stepped into them, I felt instant relief! My plantar fasciitis has made it difficult to find a pair of sandals that are comfortable to walk in. These are great. I would have given it a 5 star rating, however there was rubbing on the top left inner strap where my foot over pronates and rubs against. I hope that will go away soon because I love the way they feel on the bottom of my feet!

Tim Houseknecht

better than custom

I've had two pairs for well over a year and they are still like new. They are forgiving but still very sturdy. Tired of moving them from shoe to boot and so forth, so I'm buying another pair or 2. I had prescription insoles made through my foot doctor for a tough case of plantar fasciitis, and these are much more comfortable and effective in my opinion.

ibai Demirdache

Can't live without them!

I love my Sole Exhales. I wear them around the house with the back flipped down and they're so comfortable! I even use them to exercise - I have a cross country ski machine and my feet will slide out of the foot straps when I wear my runners on the machine. Can't do it bare foot because I have flat feet and it hurts too much. One day I got on with my Exhales and it was amazing. They don't slip and provide great support!

Laura Brads

Amazing, Comfortable, Supportive Flips!

I have had 3 back surgeries in the past 5 years, the 3rd this past January being a fusion. I thought I would never be able to wear flip flops again since my arch would fall and they provided absolutely NO support! My physical therapist recommended SOLE's footbeds and all of SOLE's products, so upon buying the footbeds, I thought I would try a pair of sport flips! I LOVE THEM!!!! I am super excited to know that I can wear flip flops again and that, as a matter of fact, my arch and foot would even be supported and super comfortable. The trial of my footbeds and the 2 pair of flips (one casual, one sport) I ordered in the spring is over...I am an official forever fan of SOLE products! I just placed my second SOLE order of 3 new pair of sport flips and another set of footbeds. Thank you, SOLE!!!!!!!!

Feet Savers!

I bought two pairs of these Sport Slim Soles two years ago for my hockey skates and downhill ski boots. They made a huge difference in the comfort of my skates. I have plantar fasciitis and flat feet, and my skates feel like slippers now! My ski boots felt like they were crushing my foot downwards. Now I feel like I have some arch support, and my feet sit more neutral in the boot. I will be buying more pairs for my walking/running shoes and motorcycle boots. Thanks for making such a great product!

Relief

Suffered with plantar fasciitis for several years, got so bad I couldn't walk. Finally went for PT and other treatments with the possiblity of surgery if pain did not improve. Purchased $500 orthotics, but still suffered some discomfort, with tightness in the heel/foot every morning and intermittent discomfort/pain while up. Recently, I started to get severe pain in both feet again, somedays it hurt so bad it was difficult walking, and this was with my custom orthotics. I was ready to go back to the doctor and PT, when I remembered I had bought these SOLE soles just before I got my orthotics so I never really used them. I put the SOLES in my work boots and within three days my pain was almost completely gone. A month or so later, I am 100% pain free in both feet and absolutely no pain/stiffness/tightness in the morning. I have to believe these SOLES gave me this relief. I would recommend these to anyone suffering from any kind of foot problem. I will be buying a couple more pairs to put in my other shoes...Thank You SOLE!

Great! But one further improvement

I've got four pairs of these and they work great for my flat feet. I've got $300+ custom foot beds and they are just as good. But like others have reviewed it would be nice if they could make a narrower pair. The thins are great and works in more of my shoes & sneakers, but not all due to the width of them. Come on Sole get them in the design and production stages, pretty sure you'll sell them. BTW their socks are great too!!! thanks again

Ron Ewer

I'm Hooked

After 5 different footbeds, Both off the shelf and custom fitted and two different boot manufacturers, I thought I would never find a pair of boots the would not hurt my feet while hunting in the mountains of Alaska and Colorado. But then I received a pair of Softec Response with a pair of Kenetrek boots and I was hooked. I inserted the Sole footbed into my hiking boot and realized I finally had the right match. I have now put over 30 miles packing 40 to 80 pound packs and my feet never once got blisters and my legs and back handled the heavier load much better. I am hooked I bought a pair of Flips and they are the best feeling flips I have ever had. I just ordered 3 more sets of different foot beds for all my shoes. The customer service is fantastic! I over heated on set of footbeds, melting just the right one. I called to order a new pair and when I mentioned this, the Sole rep. just said " No problem" I'll send you a new pair. That is great service and is the reason I am buying more inserts and letting everyone I know how great Sole inserts are. Keep up the great job. Ski season is coming soon and I will be trying out my new Sole inserts this season! Ron Ewer

Brian johnson

Get These

12 hours on my feet running around a very busy ER and no more back/ foot pain. I've tried many pairs of insoles over the last 20+ years but these are by far the best. I was starting to get plantar fasciitis, bought these my feet stopped hurting. Then i noticed that my low back wasn't hurting as much. Now no more back pain in part due to improved posture when standing. Being pain free and able to work is worth every penny.

carol chandler

best shoes

I purchased a pair of your shoes for the first time last winter, and can't wait to order my next pair. They're the only shoes that eliminate all my foot pain.

Curtis Rosing

go to

I bought a pair of these from a running store a couple of years ago. I put them in a pair of my post office aproved shoes. I have four different shoes I wear for work all with factory insoles or after market insoles. My favorite pair of shoes hands down is the pair with these Sole Ultra Inserts. Take it from a mail man that walks twelve miles a day and was a foot soldier for seven years, I have tried almost everything when it come to footwear. This is the best insole I have tried so far...

Wayne Herd

Best so far

While the Sole Ultra has helped my sore feet alot it has not solved all my problems 100%. I work in a warhouse on a cement floor all day and I'm still looking for that product out there that fixes my soreness 100%. This product is the best thing I have found so far, but it has not been the entire answer for me. I don't know where else to go or what else to do. Foot Doctor was recommended to me, so I checked them out, but I can't afford to put out 800 dollars for what they want to give me, so I guess I will keep these for now as they have done better than anything else I have tried.

Richard Ravin

Just give them time

I have pairs of the sport sandals and the causal sandals. After 6 months with the causal sandals the footbed has molded to my foot and the strap has stretched out and the fit great. I can walk for days in these sandals even after a long run. Just give them time and they will be the best sandal you have ever worn.

Keith Fitzsimmons

Best Insoles ever

Hi I had a mid foot fusion some 10 months ago, and as a Physiotherapist who knows which insoles should work and not only help my problem but other patients problems, I was blown away at how much pain relief and support the sole insoles have given me. I can now walk 4 miles in minimal pain after only 6 weeks of using them in my neutral trainers. I have now started issuing them at our military base for service personnel and every user had come back and made exactly the same positive remarks. I would highly recommend these insoles to anyone.

Victoria Day

excellent!

I have been using Sole inserts in my walking shoes for the past year with great results for my foot pain due to over-pronation and flat feet. So, I was thrilled to see these sandals. I was concerned that they would not fit my size 10 narrowish foot, but they are perfect for me. I am very happy to find such a well made and comfortable product. Please make lots more styles of shoes and sandals:-)

Jim

Hands down the best socks I've ever used

Hands down the best socks I've ever used. I've finished over 75 marathons and ultras and have yet to get a blister in these socks. A couple years back I ordered a couple pair of black socks to use for a 50-mile trail run. Got them on Friday, did the 50 on Saturday and didn't have a single foot issue the entire way. Keep up the great work!

Shawn Emery

Thin, yes. Casual, yes. Dress, no

Have tried several treatments for my recent development plantar fasciitis and decided to go the orthotic route and SOLE in particular when a friend said the SOLE socks really helped him. Decided to try the Thin Casual so I could wear them in both my dress and running shoes. While the feel great in running and Keen-type casual shoes and have helped tremendously, they are not for dress shoes. A bit disappointed in that respect but overall my foot feels tons better so I can overlook the fact that I cannot wear them during the day at work. Highly recommend and considering purchasing some socks.

Joseph

They are the ultimate insert for my falling arches

A few years ago, at the age of about 25, my high arches started to feel the strain of not getting enough support, even with $200.00 shoes designed to support all the areas of my arch. I had a sore arch and heel spurs from standing for 10+ hours a day, and spent hundreds of dollars and tons of time researching different inserts and learned all about what made my foot unique and how to solve my problems. The ONLY solution I was able to find outside of birkenstock cork-bed sandals was the SOLE heat-moldable inserts. Unlike any insert on the market that I could find, they not only have the ability to fit the TOTAL area of my foot's needed support like a custom glove, but are also stiff, therefore disallowing my foot's arch to stretch as I step (a major reason my arch becomes sore during standing/walking/running, etc.) They are the ultimate insert for my falling arches, much needed inside-heel support, and keep my foot stiff and firm, not allowing that arch tendon to stretch. Lastly, they really help keep my foot aligned well and not tilted at all, which can cause my left kee especially to ache. With the bulk purchasing on the website, I can regularly get a great deal on as many as I can pick up in a package deal at a time, making sure that each and every shoe I own has its own insole. I'm planning on being a lifelong customer for sure. I wear them out and buy more.

Amanda H

Wish I knew about the before!

I was told to get these shoes by my foot doctor after a stress fracture. My $2.00 flip flops were not the cause of my stress fracture, but did not help either. Thanks to a good doctor, and great groupon in December I got a pair. Now I am back to order another color for summer. Best flip flops/sandals ever. Your feet deserve it and they are worth it!

Chris Bowie

In short, I LOVE 'em!

I don't often bother to give feedback on many products but I felt it was necessary at this time. I purchased your Ultra Softec Footbeds about 3 weeks ago and I am nothing but impressed. I've now used them in my Dakota work boots for 180+ hours, in -30 to +5 outside weather and I am just blown away at how comfortable I've been. My foot fatigue has all but DISAPPEARED! I don't "crackle" when I walk across a room anymore & taking off my boots at the end of the day is more like taking off a sneaker than a ski boot. I swear, my feet have been warmer as well. In short, I LOVE 'em! I wish that I'd had them for all of my 25 years in work boots.

Rick Dutton

Almost great

I have been a Sole footbed customer for years. When the original sandals came out, I tried them but could never accept the thong. When the slide became available, I ordered a pair immediately. I have worn them constantly since they arrived. The support from the footbed makes the slide the most comfortable sandal I have ever owned. In warm weather, they are all I wear. In cold weather, my shoes hit the closet and are replaced with the slide as soon as I enter the house. Changes? - The front edge of the strap should be scalloped up the instep as it sits too near the toes. When you bend your foot it can rub or poke into the top of your toes. I would love to see a leather upper, and more color choices.

Lisa G

You are doing something very right

Dear Sole, I want to thank you for your inserts. I've been to 4 podiatrists over the course of the last 6-7 years, and have had orthotics made by all. None have helped my feet the way yours do. After years of pain ranging from neuromas, metatarsel issues, tendonitis, and various other lovely feet issues, I can say I've been pain free in the walking department for the last 6 weeks due to your inserts. I cannot thank you enough. You are doing something very right. be well, have a wonderful new year.. will continue to purchase inserts for everyone in our family..

Unknown

Now I have them for all my shoes

I had suffered with plantar fasciitis for a year before I purchased my first pair of footbeds. Since purchasing my first pair, I have been pain free and am loving it! Now I have them for all my shoes.

Chad Snyder

Within three days virtually ALL of the pain in my left foot was gone!

Hi, My name is Chad Snyder from Bent Mountain Va. Being a big guy 6'2" and 300 lbs, 40 years old and very active I am hard on my feet to say the least. For the last year I have suffered badly with plantar fasciitis in my left foot. About two weeks ago I purchased a pair of Sole Ultra moldable footbeds for my boots. Rather than heating them to get a fit I simply put them in my boots and went on my way. Within three days virtually ALL of the pain in my left foot was gone! After two weeks I can't remember what it felt like to have that excruciating pain when I took my first steps of the morning. I am not overstating how happy this makes me then I say that I am ECSTATIC!!! If you know anything about plantar fascilitis you know it can be all but debilitating. I have tried several other products over the last year and nothing worked. Thanks for the great product and thanks helping me get rid of my pain!!

Mike

My dogs were screaming by the end of the day

Worked on concrete 10 hours a day. My dogs were screaming by the end of the day. By the end of the week I could barely take a step without pain. For 4 years I tried different shoes. The Redwing/Sole combination took care of the problem. Now my feet hurting aren't even in the picture anymore. Thanks.

Harold Pydo

Best relief available

I've read the other reviews and agree. there isn't anything better. I 'had' plantar faciatis. I had a knee replaced. I had a lot of foot pain. I got 3 pair of these and put them in my shoes. Switched them for whatever insoles come with the shoes, and there's always a noticeable improvement. The insoles that come with most any shoe you buy is the cheapest part of the shoe, yet is what you need for good support. Go figure. These are great and will be the only insoles I use...

Teri Roy

I'm in LOOOOOOOOOVE

I work 12 hour shifts on a busy nursing floor. There are days I do not get to sit down! I'm also a runner. My feet take a beating. Coming home to my Exhales is something I look forward to every day. Confession: I even wear the suckers to work occasionally when I'm on nights or weekends (yeeees, I disinfect before bringing them home). My Exhales are, without a doubt, the comfiest, cosiest thing my feet have ever encountered. I have orthotics in every pair of footwear that I own but there is something particularrily comforting about the combination of the support, sheepskin foot pad lining and soft sides. My back, hips, knees, bunions and feet THANK YOU.

Brandon Wood

Warm style

This weekend brought the first brrrr-worthy temperatures to my corner of the world. It also brought more opportunity for me to slip the wonderfully plush SOLE Exhale’s on my feet. The Exhale hearkens back to the childhood days of moon boots. Their upper actually looks like a cross between a low-top moon boot and a super puffy jacket and is water resistant, rip-stop fabric. The footbed is wear moldable which means that, like SOLE’s other shoes, the footbed will become customized to your foot over time, increasing comfort and feel. On top of that, the footbed is Sherpa lined and super soft. Since such a warm shoe could be sweat inducing at times, the Exhale uses Polygiene® as an antimicrobial to fight odor. I think part of the brilliance in SOLE’s production is that all of their shoes and sandals use the same wear moldable footbed. Whether it’s their Platinum Sandals of the Exhale, you can be sure that the shoe is going to feel consistently right on your foot. The Exhale is incredibly roomy inside but it never feels to me like it’s insecure. As for warmth, these are right at the top of the list. Between the fabric and the stuffing, no wind is getting through to make your feet feel the least bit chilly. I actually find myself wearing them at home as much as outside. The heel of the shoe easily folds down (it’s meant to) to give a slip-on feel and I can foresee many days this winter being spent entirely in these shoes. If you don’t already have a pair of über warm casual shoes to keep your feet toasty this winter, the Exhale (for men and women) is a great choice. Also, it’s a perfect way to transition either to or from SOLE’s Platinum Sandals once Summer comes back to town!

Richard

I took the plunge and have never been more satisfied with my decision

I actually purchased my SOLE sandals while vacationing. I was looking for a pair of Reef sandals when the sales representative suggested your sandals for a little more money. I took the plunge and have never been more satisfied with my decision. I have had problems with pain in the ball of my foot area. Since getting these sandals (which before this time I would not wear flip flops) I no longer experienced the pain while wearing my sandals so now I wear them daily. If I could get away with it I would wear them to work, but I can't so, I then decided to purchase some of your footbeds. The problem I had was that my shoes range from a 9.5 to a 10.5 (depending on the style and make). Fortunately I purchased the same size of my sandals (10) and they fit perfectly into the 3 different pairs of shoes. I have since recommended them to a couple of my friends who also purchased footbeds and sandals.

Marian Morrissette

5 years + and still working.

I bought these inserts because I was diagnosed with plantar faciitis. It was very painful and the doctor recommended these. I molded them to my feet and immediately felt relief. I have had the same pair for the last five years and they are still working. I put them in whatever shoes or sneakers that I am wearing after removing the inserts that come with the shoes. I am on my feet all day working and walking back and forth on cement floors. These inserts saved me from constant pain. The top layer is finally wearing thin after all these years so I am going to get another pair. I highly reccommend them to everyone with foot or knee pain.

Jamie

I have been a happy customer for about five years now

I am a family physician and also practiced in the Air Force for several years before going civilian. I suffered from plantar faciitis for six straight years. I found SOLE footbeds in my military uniform store around 2005. I bought a pair for my combat boots and they were amazing. I then went online and ordered some for my running shoes, my soccer shoes, and my casual shoes. I have been a happy customer for about five years now and with the combination of my SOLE footbeds and a little activity modification, I have been rid of my plantar faciitis symptoms for over two years now. I am always careful though, because I know the symptoms can return. One of the preventive maintenance things I always do is wear shoes indoors when I walk around on our tile flooring. After reading the great reviews, I am going to order my first pair of SOLE sandals and plan to use them when walking around on our tile floors as one more way to stave off any return of my previous heel pain symptoms. I can't wait until they arrive. SOLE has not failed me yet!

Cynthia Mone

Foot And Knee Problems??

I run 5 miles a day and after many years of doing this I began having extreme foot pain and knee pain so bad that it stopped me from running. The Dr. diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my knees. He said my feet would heal by itself in due time but to stay off my feet, but I need to learn to live with the pain in my knees. I did for a while but it didn't improve at all. I finally tried these foot beds and in under a week both problems disappeared completely. I will never wear shoes without them again. I Love them. Thank you so much for making these.

James

These will keep me jogging on!

Immediate relief from foot pain. These will keep me jogging on!

They gave me more relief from my plantar fascitis than the custom orthotics I'd tried

I bought Soles in preparation for a ten day hike on the AT last Spring. They gave me more relief from my plantar fascitis than the custom orthotics I'd tried. Yesterday, they really paid off again - I was clearing a friend's yard and stepped on a three-inch rusty nail sticking out of a board. The nail went through the sole of my hiking boot like butter, but didn't peirce my skin. I chalked it up to luck, but later on, when I took off my soggy boots and removed the inserts to dry, I found a nice little dent in the bottom of my right Sole - it had stopped the nail which would have gone through my foot for sure. Thanks for saving me from a trip to the doctors office, a tetanus shot, and a week of limping!!

Jon

I have tried many other brands, but have never had the success that I had with Sole

After experiencing chronic foot pain (gout, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and cramping brought on by limping from a severe hamstring injury) my podiatrist recommended Sole inserts. It took a couple of months, but all my foot problems went away. This was about 10 years ago. I have tried many other brands, but have never had the success that I had with Sole. A lot people have recommended Superfeet and I have tried them. I don't think there is anything wrong with the other brands, its just that for me personally Sole is the most comfortable and gives me the best results. I buy enough pairs in different thicknesses to put in the shoes that I wear most often. And I have a couple pairs in different thicknesses that I transfer from shoe to shoe as needed. I should mention that I am a big hiker. I go 2 miles every morning and go on 4 to 8 hour hikes about once or twice a week. Depending on the hike and the weather, I use heavy duty Vasques, lightweight Patagonia, sandals from either Teva or Keen and hiking boots from Keen. I wear the inserts with everything except Chaco sandals. I have also worked as a lift operator at ski areas and have always worn inserts in my snow boots. Bumping chairs all day is really brutal on your feet. You stand on the ball of your foot and lift your heel. As the people sit down, you bump the chair and let it spin you around, so you see the takeoff. When you see that no one has fallen out you must spin back around for the next chair. This is repeated every 5 to 7 seconds. I never had one bit of foot problem.

I'm ecstatic about the results

First I'd like to say that your insoles ROCK!� I tore my plantar fascia a few years ago and in addition to that have always had foot pain of some kind when hiking, whether 5 miles or multi-day and I never thought I'd be able to hike without worrying about how my feet would feel afterwards.� I purchased the Signature EV Ultra footbed for my hiking boots that will take me backpacking this season and I'm ecstatic about the results as I was literally skipping after my last long hike. I also purchased a couple of Softec Response footbeds for my trail runners that I use for light hiking and general all day walking and a pair of Thin Casuals for my tennis shoes and so far I am amazed; no pain whatsoever.� The pain and discomfort I used to feel everyday from minimal to major is now gone but I do feel it when I don't use the footbeds.� In fact, it's so noticeable that my husband jokes about me having my footbeds when we go somewhere to make sure I can keep up. One comment I have though is that the footbed doesn't exactly fit the shoes.� The shoes and boots are size 6 as are the footbeds, but they're 4/16 short of the end.� I first noticed it on the heel when I slipped the boots on; the footbed had slipped off the back of the heel, so I brought it flush with the heel but then found that the toe now has space.� Since I wear my boots a 1/2 size larger it's not an issue in performance or comfort, but I was just curious if others had mentioned this? Either way I'm keeping all of my footbeds and will definitely purchase more in the future as well as recommending them to all my friends.� Thank you for a great product!

It won't be my last pair - they are awesome

I bought my first pair of Sole Sandals - the sport slide. It won't be my last pair - they are awesome. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for 7 years. Unfortunately, the podiatrist I was seeing didn't treat my condition properly. After enduring too much pain, I found another podiatrist and had foot surgery in February 2010. About a month ago, I started experiencing excruciating heel pain. I had been told that I would still experience pain for about 6 months. But this was a different sensation & wasn't getting better, so I went to my doctor yesterday. He said my bone was severely bruised and that it would take about 2 months to heal and I needed physical therapy. He also told me to make sure I was wear good shoes even around the house. I didn't want to wear my athletic shoes or dress shoes in the house; yet, my house slippers weren't providing enough support & it hurts to go barefooted. So I googled heel pain and treatments & found a website that recommended your sandals. I went to your website, found a local retailer and bought them today. So this long winded email to say... thank you!! I had relief immediately. It doesn't hurt so bad to just walk. I had been wearing Fit Flops & Skeechers new Tone Up sandals which didn't give me the proper support.

Superior

Been to the foot doctors and had special orthotics made and they did not help me at all. I purchased these sole products and they are superior. It has helped me tremendously and I will be and on going customer. I just purchased a pair of the slide sandals.

Ready to RUN

A bone spur on my left foot can cause me a lot of pain when I run too much( about 20 miles per week outdoors)- However I went to my Dr. and he recommended this product. Ironically I ran a 10k race 2 days after my purchase and I have to tell I'm impressed. I should have road tested them prior to the race but I figured what the heck do I have to loose other than the race. The uphill route was not an issue and my legs felt great even 2 days later no pain. This was a great purchase! Cheers Gerald

Happy Troops

I am a Physician Assitant deployed to Iraq right now and we have a stock of Sole inserts and they have been a Godsend. I have seen more plantar fasciitis over the past months than in the past 5 years of practice. I tried some insoles because I was having some foot pain and I fell in love. We have gone through over 100 pairs for our troops and we keep ordering more because word got out and they are helping everything from foot, ankle, knee, hip and even back pain. I can't say enough about these insoles. Every other PA and Doctor here also has a pair in their shoes after hearing me and my patients rave about them and they are all in love now too.

Life Savers!!!!!

Last year, I broke my foot and had to wear these for a while. But even after my healing stage, I continued to where these amazing shoes. They actually give my foot support unlike other shoes. And get this: they are fashion friendly!

Marv Caldwell

Thank you

I suffered with plantar fasciitis for over two years, very miserable, I am a nurse and of course on my feet for hours. Finally the third Podiatrist I went to said to buy a shoe that bends only at the ball of the foot, and buy Sole inserts. The relief was immediate and I have been comfortable for over two yrs. now. I can tell when I need to reheat and mold, or new ones or new shoes. For the relief I got and the price, very thankful, worth every penny for sure!!!

MJ Thomas

FIVE STARS !!!!

Most orthopedists will tell you that they will get rich as the flip-flop craze is ruining young peoples feet and backs; wearing something with zero support 24/7 that were designed for wearing at the beach. I’m so glad my Orthopedist turned me onto Sole flips. For someone with pretty flat, pronated feet, your flips actually support the foot; give you an arch, etc. It’s like a flip that’s an orthotic – but the great part is they look like regular flip-flops – not like ortho-flips! I think Sole could do a little better with the color combos, they seem to either be a big bore, or they are “too out there”. I don’t know a lot of guys who will wear bright green and white, the blacks are just too black. I think you are on the right track with the more recent different grays. Keep up the great work! They are pretty expensive for a totally synthetic shoe. How about some leather straps? Even some leather foot beds would be great too.

No pain just comfort

they feel like toning shoes, my feet actually rock. No pain just comfort, I don't want to take them off

Ned Smith

Long Lasting cusion and high arch support.

In the last couple of years, foot and ankle pain have set me back. I'd been going back and forth to the podiatrist, getting new casts for custom orthodics, walking on the gel for a high tech casting for orthodics, etc. Everything always came back with the arch starting in the middle of my heel and giving me no arch support. I have size 14 feet and I think the shoe companies imagine people with bigger feet still have their arches in the same spot as little feet. Anyway, I got a new Podiatrist who is the favorite of the Northwest Ballet. He recommended Softec Ultras. They've made a huge difference. The arch started at the edge of my heal but it molded to me just fine. I didn't use the oven for fear the arch would fall a bit, I just let them mold to me over time, which they did nicely. They have the feeling of a brand new pair of Asics Gel Nimbus, but with a higher arch and more cushion. They last longer than the Asics standard 3 months. I've had these in my Asics for about 9 months and the Asics were about 3 months old when I put in the Softec Ultras. Which brings up the thought that the Asics don't wear out so fast, the Asic footbeds are what wears out. They really helped with my, sitting, standing, ankle-knee-hip board work, walking, and drumming endurance. Life is a lot better than I thought it would be by now.

Another PT review

I saw these at a professional conference and bought some for myself. I have just walkerd all over New Zealand in them with NO FOOT PAIN!! I highly recommend and am sending some to my Aunt!

Loui

LOVE THESE!

I run several miles per week and used to have athletes foot flare up all the time. These socks (a) have built-in arch support, (b) have a cooling mesh by the toes, and (c) survive wash after wash (even with clorox bleach)!! The end result is happy, comfortable feet with no fungus. My whole family (include the guys) buy only this sock brand now. Worth every penny!!! Also - these are thin enough to wear every day even in snug shoes. They are so comfortable you don't even notice them.

I have gained freedom from pain in my feet, hips back and neck

I tried these without any recommendation or knowledge of your company or product line. I have suffered for years from problems with foot alignment, a bad back, and even orthopedic surgery to correct back and foot problems. Doctors prescribed incredibly expensive orthotics which my insurance company will not pay for (they are a luxury item). When I stumbled across your website, honestly I thought to myself "what do I have to lose?" I have lost nothing. I have gained freedom from pain in my feet, hips back and neck for the first time in about ten years. I can't thank you enough. I am on my feet all day long and walk a lot. I am becoming your best, free advertisement and will certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you, from the bottom of my feet!

Joseph

I will never buy another brand

I love these inserts. I bought for work original because work 12-hour shifts, in safety-toe shoes, and I walk primarily on concrete for the majority of the shift. Finding good support had been quite challenging. Most shoe inserts are soft and cushion-y to the touch, which I would have thought would help with the impact, but they always lacked in support and my foot would still be sore by the end of the day. These are the best insoles (foot beds) I have ever owned and I will never buy another brand. I have recommended them to several friends at work, and I know at least one has ordered them and expect them to arrive shortly. I expect to continue recommending them for a very long time.

karen wernert

I love them but...

I love these, but they don't fit in all the shoes they suggest. I find that in some shoes my foot sits too high and my heel rubs in and out of the back of the shoe. I do take out the stock insole and that doesn't seem to help. I do LOVE how my feet feel when they do fit properly in some of my shoes, so I am buying the thin sport ones today in hopes they fit my running and walking shoes a bit better. I have also done the "orthotics" thing from the doctors and while they keep your feet in the correct position, these do not solve the cushion problem that I think most of us have. These do both!

John Burns

What foot problem?

After using one pair of soles for only three weeks I am feeling better than I have in at least four years. I have been to two podiatrist's and six months of intense therapy and these have brought me more relief than anything so far. I recently ordered three more pairs for different types of shoes. You won't see me without them. "They are Great!" My wife and I love to square dance with these we may be able to return soon. Keep up the Great job. Can you please make them for western boots too.

Unknown

They did what they were supposed to do

Was suffering from extreme pain on little toe, due partially to a previous surgery, and was referred to an orthopedic surgeon by my regular doctor. The orthapedic surgeon suggested that prior to another surgery I should try these orthodics from Sole, and a wider shoe. I did so, and after 6 weeks now, on my follow up visit this week; the place doesn't hurt nearly as bad.He suggest now that I should not have the surgery and keep on trying the orthodics. They did what they were supposed to do, and I have already recomended them to some friends and relatives. Thanks very much.

Bill Drake

BETTER THAN PHYSICAL THERAPY?

During a terrible car accident, in which I should have died, my right ankle was crushed. After 2 weeks in a trauma unit, I went home with 5 pins and a plate holding my ankle together, while it healed in a cast. I came out of the cast 2 months later, on my way to an amazing miraculous recovery. My foot survived, but is now pronated to the inside. (at least I have it. Doctors thought I would lose it) I went to a podiatrist during physical therapy and he suggested I try Sole Inserts before resorting to $500 custom orthotics. After wearing these inserts for 2 weeks, I walk without a limp. These are amazing and have given me new hope for a relatively normal life!! Thank you

Frank

I am very impressed

A quick word to say thanks for SOLE footbeds! I’ve been using for 2 weeks training now and I have to admit I am very impressed!! Foot stability highly improved, might not make me a faster rider but the sensations awesome!!! ;0)

Chris

Great insoles save 1 tiny thing

These insoles are incredible. They mold EXACTLY to your foot when you mold them as per the instructions and stand normally as you would daily. Do not attempt to correct your posture too much as you will cause some pain in your knees etc, so remail natural. My only complaint, which isn't a complaint b/c I didn't think it through when I purchased them....they stink after a while. So if the stench of your feet is offensive, get the moisture wicking version (which I plan to buy next time)

M. Todd

The SOLE inserts far exceeded my expectations

When my son first started running Cross Country for BBMS, he had severe pain in his feet and legs from running. He had new AVIA running shoes and the coach said they were good shoes. She advised me that if the pain persisted, he would need to see a doctor. After putting the SOLE inserts into his shoes, the change was just short of miraculous! The pain was completely gone, even after 2 or 3 mile runs!! As a direct result, his times improved dramatically. The SOLE inserts far exceeded my expectations. I can't express my gratitude to you enough for making the inserts available

Unknown

I will be a customer for life

I have high arches and have suffered from heal spurs before. My prescription orthodics were starting wear and began hurting my feet. I was looking for a less expensive alternative and stumbled upon your website after reading an article on runnersworld.com. I am extremely pleased with your products and the difference it has made in my workouts. I will be a customer for life. Thanks!!!

Sam Brown

Thanks to these, I'm finally healing

After hiking for months with a heavy pack, I developed a pain in my left sole so extreme I thought I was walking on a broken foot. The doc diagnosed me with a plantar fasciitis, and said it would heal on its own as soon as I kept weight off it. But it didn't. It got better, it got worse, time and again, even after I got rid of the pack. Normal day to day walking was enough to set recovery back. I put these in my daily-wear boots and within the week I was certain that the healing had finally started. The arch support these provide made the difference. It's been a month now and most days I forget that anything had ever gone wrong. It might be another two months before the wound is completely repaired, but I haven't had a single bad day with it since getting these.

Michael Cleveland

I like 'em!

I bought these yesterday as I live in Europe and walk a lot. Add to that I am a teacher and often carry a lot of books with me going from one place to another. Often, at the end of the day, my left foot is killing me. After only one day, I can seemingly tell the difference already. It's almost the end of the day and I have no pain. If I can figure out a way to get them, I'm going to try the Sport version in my two pair of cycling shoes and then possibly my running shoes as well.

Dan Morse

After starting with the SOLEs I've seen a ~70% - 80% decrease in the PF /heel pain

Following the 2008 Steamboat Marathon, I developed very bad posterior tibial tendonitis which sidelined my running. The resulting weight gain, perhaps combined with my age, turned into a fierce case of plantar fasciitis which I feared may end my running. Most testimonials say the same thing, but I tried just about everything short of surgery and was just to the point of trying the cortizone shot. Shoe inserts I tried, but which did not work for me, include most over-the-counter ones, "Heel That Pain" ones (which didn't) and "Good Feet" store ones. After starting with the SOLEs I've seen a ~70% - 80% decrease in the PF /heel pain and it is no worse than it was during training and completion of the 3 previous marathons. I am finally running and I can't say the improvement is 100% due to the SOLEs, but they have made a difference that other inserts did not. The combination of calf and hamstring stretching, lifting (loading) and some PT recommended exercises with the SOLE inserts has made the difference.

Unknown

I first purchased these for my snowboarding boots

I first purchased these for my snowboarding boots as I the outside of my ankle had too much pressure in my boots. After I put in the footbeds, that pain went away almost entirely. I have high arches, and I don't even mold the footbeds. I feel like I could use even higher arches on the footbeds to make me even more comfortable.

Jeff

What a difference!

Feet were sore, doc said to try arch supports. No big deal right? Wrong. Tried 7 (yes, 7!) different brands of arch supports over the past year. All of them had something I didn't like - too wide, too flat, no heel support, moved around, you name it. Finally I went to custom shoe shop locally and saw the Sole inserts. Salesman swore by them, said fully guaranteed if they didn't work. What can I say other than they feel great, actually fit in my dress shoes, and support my entire foot. I love the firm support under the top cushioning. I've found that if the support is not firm enough, I can really feel it after a long day. A negative would be that they are still slightly thick enough to mess with some dress shoes - making the shoes feel tighter. I had to "rip out" some of my stock inserts to get the Soles to fit correctly. None the less, I completely recommend these!

Matt

I am hooked

I have been using my Custom Footbeds for about 2 years now and I am hooked! I am a Volunteer Firefighter, and a full-time machine operator in a local factory. I have Footbeds in my work boots, my station boots, and my firefighting boots. Whether its the long hours on my feet in the factory, or the harsh conditions that we firefighters face, my feet are always the last thing to start hurting. I have talked to many of my friends and family, and everyone says the same thing, "Once my feet start hurting, I'm done!" I say the same thing, but now I'm able to perform for a longer time before I'm ready to take a break. Thank you for making such a wonderful product, and I look forward to the next generation of your SOLE products.

My legs feel fine and I can run even more

I only recently started running, and while I am in good shape from surfing, my legs were not completely up to the task. I would get shin splints and just generally various sore muscles and such. Since I started wearing your soles, my legs feel fine and I can run even more.

Garvey Allisen

Plantar Fasciitis

I have never had foot problems my entire life; but recently have been diagnosed with the very painful Plantar Fasciitis. My Physio recommended custom footbeds; but I tried Soles first to see if they would help. All of my symptoms are gone in less that 3 weeks of wearing Soles. I have just ordered 5 more pairs for all of my shoes and a pair of flip flops - I dont want that pain again.

Brad

My foot pain has almost completely disappeared

I saw this in the base exchange, and thought the design would be great for my feet. I was very surprised at how much it helped. My foot pain has almost completely disappeared, and my feet are actually more comfortable when I am wearing my boots with the SOLE in it.

Tony Davies

The best thing I bought myself in years

i've just ended my first days work with my new sole innersoles in my steel toecaped booots and can hand on heart say there the best thng i bought myself in years,ive spent hundreds of pounds on other innersoles from shops and off ebay trying to ease the pain in my foot and knees, after having them in my boots for 8 hours iv noticed my left foot is not aching and i noticed my knees are not aching throuh them grinding, i ony hope the pain relief continues. i hope i can get a pair for my training shoes and 1 day be able to go back the gym pain free

Kenenth

It has been a pleasure dealing with the "SOLE" company

I must say that it has been a pleasure dealing with the "SOLE" company. Foot related problems will change your motivation, ability to train, your ability to play with your children. I am a rangemaster/swat operator for a police department in southern california. As a result of that I am on my feet alot during the day. After visiting several foot doctors in my town a friend told me about "SOLE" footbeds and how much he liked them. I bought a pair the next day and have to say I believe I will have a pair of these in every shoe I wear. Thanks.

Unknown

I was suffering from Morton's Neuroma

I was suffering from Morton's neuroma, and a running shoe store in Oregon recommended your footbeds. That was 4 years ago and I now buy a pair of soles at least every 6 mo. My husband now uses them and I recommended them to my sister, who is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a triathlon coach. Thanks a ton!

Unknown

The sole sandals have really helped

I've always had to were orthotics, and was unable to were flip flops for any extended period. The sole sandals have really helped. I also bought a pair for my boyfriend who has plantar fasciitis and he is loving them. He can get up in the morning without pain.

Mark McNally

I decided to try SOLE and since I did I never looked back

As a bike racer I strive to get everything out of myself and to do this I look at every detail from what I eat to what equipment I use, so I decided to try SOLE and since I did I never looked back I went from my foot collapsing over the arch which is quite common in bike riders to having a well supported instep which in turn helped me get that little bit extra out of myself which is what every bike rider should want!

Susan Herdman

Bravo!

My physical therapist recommended these Sole footbeds while treating me for arthritis in my knees. He noted that I have high arches, and felt that these inserts might help with my foot pain as well as my knee pain. I was very skeptical as I had been fitted for custom orthotics by a podiatrist several years ago, and those inserts only added pain to the balls of my feet, for a cost of $300! But I tried these Sole inserts anyway. Unbelievable! The relief was so immediate, and has continued on. We just took a three week trip, and spent much time walking in New York City. Unforgiving pavement no problem. I am recommending Sole footbeds to my two children who are runners and to my sister who also has foot and knee pain. Very grateful, Sue from Santa Fe

Barbara

I desparately needed some lasting and quality support

I was waiting for my custom orthotics to be refitted but trying to walk without any support caused my arches so much pain! I had tried the drug store variety insoles but nothing worked. Having Marfan's Syndrome ( genetic ligament disorder), I desparately needed some lasting and quality support. When I was shown the SOLE product I was hesitant, but once I had them in my shoes I could not have been happier! They are so wonderful and amazingly great for personal foot/arch support. I can not tell you how much pain relief they truly delivered for me!! Thank you.

Jonathan Pope

Years of use

Many years ago I had an accident on a motorcycle and injured my foot. I used to regularly visit my chiroprator to assist with issues caused from the injury and had medical footbeds prescribed. The sole ones are as good if not better than the prescribed ones and do a brilliant job of keeping my feet in shape and comfortable on those long working days. I chose these because I wear dress shoes and these fit well but provide the necessary support without intruding into the shoe space available. The other major benefit for me is I can put soles in all my shoes rather than having to swap insoles all the time. Well done Sole keep up the good work!

Joni

I just love the sandals

I have rhumetoid arthritis. My feet are sore most of the time. I have a very hard time walking in shoes. I noticed that my arch in my foot was falling. I need support. My doctor told me about your company. So I phoned and was so pleased with the help I got over the phone. The girl I spoke to was so helpful and very nice. I just love the sandals. I can walk quite well and will definately buy some insoles for my shoes. Thank you so very much for the wonderul service and great sandals. I have told many people about your company.

Unknown

They make my feet feel a lot better

I have had Plantar Fascitis for several years. It is hard to find sandals and shoes that work for me. I need a really strong arch, and these sandals work. I wear them around the house all of the time like slippers, and they make my feet feel a lot better! I will buy more in the future!

Tina

I am like a preacher when I tell everyone about your products!

I have to add that my friends and co-workers laugh that my 'new religion' has SOLE! I am like a preacher when I tell everyone about your products! I have been in constant pain for over 5 years and, while I am not pain-free, my feet felt better leaving work than they did going in to work on the first wearing! After about 3 weeks I cut my pain meds by half and had enough energy to DO things with my grandkids without having to rest every few minutes or take more meds. You are WONDERFUL!

Mike

I thought my days of being active were over

I cannot believe the pain relief i got after the first run I did with the SOLE Dean K. heat moldable insoles, I am a Disabled veteran from the United States Marine Corps, and wearing 2 special back supports ( 3 major spinal operations and shrapnel in my leg) I thought my days of being active were over, trying all kinds of insoles(too no avail)I tried these Insoles and WOW,I don't limp back home after a run, I smile alot-I mean ALOT less pain, my morale is higher and my activity level is awesome, Thanks Again SOLE,but sorry I must put the Credit to my GOOD LORD First, but you came thru with and Blue Ribbon Also !!! AWESOME-!!!!!!

Adam Elliosn

Great investment

I was in so much pain while training for a marathon that I went to a podiatrist. He fitted me with stiff, custom orthotics to manage arthritis in my foot and told me not to run again. When I quizzed him about exercise, he told me that if an exercise did not cause discomfort, I was free to pursue it. Thus emboldened, I decided to see whether Sole inserts for my moderate-support running shoes would let me continue running. They were a breeze to mold, are far more comfortable than the flimsy inserts that came with the shoes, and--woo hoo!--I can run again without pain. I won't push it, no more than 6-7 miles max, but but being able to continue to indulge in my 40+ year obsession with running is a great gift. I just bought two more pairs for other shoes. Great product!

David

His feet feel much better

I have already reccomended them to a co-worker at work because we work 12 hour shifts on concrete floors and he was having foot problems. He has already received his footbeds and is wearing them at work now and tells me his feet feel much better.

Mary

With your footbeds I can play tennis, hike and just enjoy my active life

I Have your soles in ALL MY SHOES Without your product I can not even walk without foot pain and other related pain up my leg and into my hip. With your footbeds I can play tennis, hike and just enjoy my active life. Before discovering SOLE I had tried every footbed I found but was always in pain as they did not work for me. I Bless the day I found you!!! I am so thankful for your footbeds. THANK YOU so much

Not Given

Absolutely love them

Absolutely love them. The sandal is awesome to wear and I have no pain if I wear them instead of going barefoot

Chris

I was at first very skeptical. Not any more

I love your product. As a future podiatric physician with a specialty in biomechanics and sport medicine, I was at first very skeptical. Not any more. Sure, they may not be able to correct the most extreme of foot biomechanical problems, but they're very, very good none the less. If you ever need a podiatrist to consult or just to spread the good word, I'd be honored. We have a trail marathon coming up soon, and then a few mountains to climb this winter. Can't wait to put my Sole's into those boots!

Thanks to SOLE products and our good LORD in heaven and DK+ insole I CAN COPE!!!

Thanks to SOLE products and our good LORD in heaven and DK+ insole I CAN COPE!!! Today I received me Dean Karnazes custom insoles, I did mold them perfectly in the oven and fit them into my running shoes- very easy to do! I am a disabled Marine Corps Veteran (shot in the lower back, and received shrapnel in my legs in 1982 in Beirut Lebanon). After years of feeling sorry for myself and letting depression take hold of my life 2 years ago I set out to start running again. I started out slow with 3 back and hip supports, and tried hundreds of insoles- they really never made my run fun. BUT TODAY... I ran 90% pain free 12 miles to be exact! SOLE inserts are awesome! My feet didn't kill me, my back was okay, and my knees were good too! You have a great product which I would endorse to any athlete or anyone who just walks around. I almost cried when I got back from my run, I can't thank these DK+ insoles enough. Your product brought back a sense of pride and hapiness to do what I really enjoy- running! My two sons who are in high school shake their heads in disbelief that I go for a 10 mile runs now. My wife and my boys mother is serving in the US Army and is deployed in Iraq, and I write her and tell her that the running is going great. My running also helps me cope with her being deployed in a dangerous place. I have been spreading the word about your great product. Thank you and keep up the great insoles! Regards Mike

I've noticed major improvements in my feet

I've been having trouble with plantar faciatis for a year now. I've used a night boot, done exercises, taken anti-inflammatories, worn podiatrist-made inserts. Then I got my SOLE sandals, and I've noticed major improvements in my feet. I am also thrilled to have foot support when walking on the beach.

Mike

Have definitely improved my cycling

SOLE custom footbeds have definitely improved my cycling. i can go on long (greater than 50 mile) road rides without fear of uncomfortable foot pain. i can also tighten my cycling shoes properly, resulting in less movement of my foot inside the shoe, allowing me to pedal and climb much more efficiently. Thanks for making these footbeds!

Tina

I have had custom orthotics from my foot surgeon but they only provided minimal relief

I have had chronic foot pain since 2001(due to a broken navicular that refuses to heal & fallen arches). I have had custom orthotics from my foot surgeon but they only provided minimal relief. Your product is the ONLY insole that I have found that not only lessened the pain but actually has made my foot feel progressively better each day I wear it. I gave the insoles 2 weeks of constant wear before I contacted you, just to make sure they were really helping. Now I have been telling everyone at my job about them! I have been able to cut back on my pain medications (otc & perscription) and even contacted my GP and foot surgeon to let them know about you. I just wish I found you sooner.

Tony

Excellent footbeds

I've had foot issues for many years and about a year back I bought some new cycling shoes. Well the insole that is provided is not worth much so I began the search for a good cycling footbed. I was looking at custom footbeds, but didn't want to pay the high price. While shopping at a LBS I came across Sole and am so happy I did. These have been the greatest footbeds I've ever used in my cycling shoes. They work perfect and the simple molding process is a huge plus. With over 6000 miles on these I'm enjoying the ride more than ever.

Awesome!!

I am a Naval Flight Officer, and bought these inserts to put in my flight boots. By far one of the betrter footwear decisions I've ever made. The inserts got me through a deployment to Afghanistan and are about to go for a second. The inserts made my boots infinitely more comfortable and have virtually eliminated my foot and knee pain from walking on unfinished surfaces. I just got another pair of flight boots and plan on getting another pair of inserts to go in them.

These sandals work better than anything I have tried before

Awesome product. I am in Rome Italy on vacation now and walking 10 miles a day in these flips - I am walking on concrete, cobblestones, and many uneven surfaces. I have low arches, mortons foot and these sandals work better than anything I have tried before. My back feels great - no knee issue and I am a big 300lb guy! WOW!

Curtis Driver

Better than custom

As a Physician Assistant and Athletic Trainer in the US Army I see soldiers with foot pain and overuse injuries everyday. With these footbeds I have gotten soldiers back to full activity faster than with custom orthotics costing 4-5X as much. I wouldn't use any orthotic myself than sole. Curtis Driver PA-C, ATC

Best $$ spent on flip flop sandals to date

I was diagnosed with sesamoiditis in addition to being completely flat footed. Therefore most shoes without backs or without sturdy bottoms irritated my toes. My condition improved over the last few months by wearing support shoes (e.g. Danskos), but I was going to need something for summer. I am a flip flop wearer, without a doubt, and was having a hard time deciding if I was going not wear flip flop sandals all summer or suffer through the pain. Luckily, when I read about your sandals, I decided that it was worth the $70 to try them. Best $$ spent on flip flop sandals to date. :)

Na I can't believe it

I work in a busy Emergency room, these inserts have eliminated back pain and foot pain. I am a big man, without pain..thank you very much

Robert Chatillion

I will never go back to flat sandals again

I will never go back to flat sandals again. My feet and back love the support of the Sole design. Well done! Nice logo too.

Heaven for my feet

I have used these for the last two years and can say i never even knew who made them. I bought them with a pair of casual shoes from a very popular boot company. Let me tell you from a guy who had crushed his foot and has horrible feet problems, that these are better than all four orthotics that I payed hundreds for. I thank you for a wonderful product that make my feet feel like never before!

Michael Kelley

fantastic product

I was a little skeptical that this product would help with my plantar fasciitis, but I thought I'd give it a try. I don't run as much as Dean Karnazes does (obviously), but recently after upping my mileage to about 25 miles per week I developed some severe pain in the heel and bottom of my right foot. I made an appointment with a podiatrist but wasn't able to get in for 2 weeks. So in the meantime I ordered a pair of these insoles. Shipping was very fast and after convincing my wife that I wasn't nuts, I put these in the oven and gave them a try. After no running at all for 2 weeks, I put these in my running shoes and went out for a 4 mile run. There was very minimal foot pain. Two days later, I went for a 6 mile run with no pain at all. Now I'm getting close to the 25 miles per week and am still having no issues. The longest I've run with these so far is 11 miles with no foot discomfort at all. These insoles are fantastic and I will definitely purchase another pair once these wear out. Thank you, Sole!

Comfort

I haven't tried the black ones yet, but I think the brown ones from last summer are great. I have flat feet and the arch support that I need works great. I have had surgery on one foot for tarsal tunnel and plantar faciaitis in the other foot. These flip flops are as comfortable as my shoes w/ custom made orthotics. I live in the Bay Area in CA and I wanted to wear them every day and could have if it had been appropriate. I trust the black ones have a similar contour.

SOLE Slim Casual is my number one choice

I first want to thank you for once again allowing me to test your fine products! Footbeds are such an important aspect of footwear that I can't help wanting to be part of the improvement process in some way! I can honestly tell you that I have tested virtually all of the major and minor brands Out there and have settled on several that really help me with comfort and support. I have had better than average performance with SOLE, Shock Doctor, Down Under (used in my backpacking boots) and Super feet (this brand did great in my ice climbing boots). Presently, the SOLE Slim Casual is my number one choice in my back packing boot and day to day foot wear (even over my Ed Viesters), the Ed's would be next For backpacking then Shock doctors then Down Unders. I chose to fit the Casual into my Cabela's 8" hunting boot, which by the luck of the draw allows them to fit my HI-Tech casual trail shoes. There is a internal volume difference however, but usually different thicknesses of socks are also employed, so this presented no problem! In fact, I found a comfort increase with 8" inch boot out on the trail Snow shoeing (no kidding)! I have been testing snow shoes and socks all this winter so I added the casual's into the mix and was surprised with a greater level of comfort and support than I have had in the past (nice)! I believe there is an achievable synergy between sock footwear and footbeds and the foot, and when that is found the user is a very happy camper. With the Casual, I found the fitting and molding process simple and straight forward- just follow the instructions! Durability is without question as snowshoeing puts a great strain on footwear etc and the "Casual" is still looking new even after many hours and miles of pounding and sweat. There are no signs of abrasion, wear, tears or break down. Odor and heat control is awesome as is friction control which must have something to do with fit and support as my foot maintains its position inside the boot etc . Bottom line I have no blisters or hot spots and my socks are not exhibiting unusual wear. I think one major benefit I the custom fit along with carefully chosen materials as the user's foot is properly supported and placed which aid in eliminating foot related injuries from improper support etc. Metatarsal support could be a bit thicker but, I have had none of the usual burning from neuromas etc, which was initially brought on by the lightning strike that exited my foot. Out on the town the Casual adds comfort and support as well As my feet don't get tired and wore out when I'm shopping with my wife (who has an endless desire to go to every store in sight and this always kills my feet! I wonder if you guy's actually did me any favors here!). The Casual will add the necessities to foot wear that may be missing support and cushion (this is some thing that a sock can only in a limited way help with). I recommend that everyone should experience the SOLE footbeds and see for them selves if they don't receive a higher level of performance from their foot wear. For me , it means I can get out to those distant backcountry lakes quicker, safer and feel like fishing instead of nursing my feet and I like that!!!

Very painful case of Plantar Fasciitis

I have had a persistent and very painful case of Plantar Fasciitis for almost two years. It got so bad that I finally gave in and had surgery a little over a month ago. The pain was back almost immediately so I began my regime of buying every product that promised to help. I am so thankful that my first purchase was a pair of Sole foot beds. I felt relief almost instantly, so much so, that I just bought another pair and a pair of sandals. Thank you is all that is left to say.

Brandon

Really glad that I tried SOLE insoles

im really glad that i tried the SOLE insoles. i am a tennis teaching pro and my feet have been hurting for a year or two now and i have been to a couple of foot doctors and have been told i have plantar fasciatis and that i need orthotics. well to do the molding or whatever i needed done was going to cost around 400 dollars and i really didn't want to spend that much for insoles. so i was talking to an older friend of mine that i know through tennis and he is a millionare and he told me about SOLE and said he had like five pairs so i figured they had to be good b/c this guy could afford anything he wanted for his feet. so i tried them and now i love them. i teach tennis on a very popular high end tennis resort and see people from all over the world and i have recommended SOLE to everyone that has foot problems and i have passed out the little SOLE cards you all sent me. i hope to help you all out as much as these insoles have helped my feet. thanks so much. i know this is a bit of a corny story but who cares. thanks again! oh and i also really liked that when i called your number, a real person answered! i was shocked. that never happens anymore. good stuff!

I can work out, walk and be on my feet all day

Please explain your foot-related problems prior to purchase: A. I could hardly walk as my feet were putting out the alighment of my knees(and the rest of my body). I was sent to Poditarists and had more than one pair of orthotics made. some of them helped a bit but a lot of them made it so I could hardly walk at all and had so much more pain.This was very costly also. Then I went to a Chiropracter who works on pressure points. It is a total different way of alighning ones body. When I stated seeing my Chiropracter I stopped wearing my orthopics as I would just be put into balance and my orthopics would put me right out of sorts again. But I needed something and as I had been trying out the SOLE INSOLES, I started to wear them daily. It is hard to get the thinner insoles, as Work World's mainly sell the thick ones. So thanks to the staff from Sole in Calgary for mailing me out a pair of red Soles. I can work out, walk, and be on my feet all day and my legs get tired but I do not have the knee pain as the knee is getting stronger. The doctors kept telling me I was just getting old and to expect the pain and knees going. But I kept thinking NO they are wrong. There has to be something out there and it is such a simple thing, A insole that works. More people have to learn not to give up when they are in pain and in there heart know that there knees are turning in because of the way there feet are or there back or hips or neck or so many parts of the body hurt or you are taking pain killers just to get through the day. Begin at your Feet and if at first you are not getting any leadway, don't give up. Keep trying. Go to the Sole Site, or just try a pair, often the body has to be put into alighment first then with the insoles life will begin. And I feel the insoles should be sold in some shoe stores. Often the sales clarks get to know your feet. Find a establised store and get to know them like you do a Doctor.

Couldn't Skate Without Them

These footbeds are tremendous! I have a pair in my CCM hockey skates and my K2 inlines, and I cannot imagine ever skating without them again. They have improved my ice skating by giving me more power and a much better feel for the ice; and have aleviated the foot pain I used to experience after only a few miles on inline skating. I can't wait for the coming spring as I plan to skate my first marathon in May.

Rick VanDerWegen

Awesome

I was having alot of pain in the arch of my foot for 7 or 8 months. I went to the docter and I was told that I had flat feet and was suffering from Plantar Fasciitis. He wanted me to get prescription ortho's. After being looked at by the Physical Therapist he recommened that I give the Sole Softec Regulars a try. I was amazed at the relief that this product has given me. I ordered another pair along with a pair of your plantinum sandles. Awesome product.

Richard

The sole product I bought has worked wonders

Planter Faciitis (SP) which wouldn't go away. a friend recommended these and sent me the website. The sole product I bought has worked wonders. They were very easy to conform to the foot and have fixed my sore heel problem to where I can now play competitive tennis with no problem. Thanks for this product.

Rich Hayes

Tennis and Hiking

These are outstanding for my competitive tennis and rigorous hiking endevours. They have virtually eliminated the foot problems I was having - sore heel, sore arches, and sore feet in general. Thanks for a great Product.

Nicole

Far Exceeded my Expectations

My company moved to a new building in June 2008. The floor are hard concrete. I began having foot pain(plantar fasciitis) in my right foot. After a few months I began to walk with a limp and by the end of my shift my ankle was swelling and in alot of pain. The price was reasonable. I felt I would try this before paying hundreds of dollars on custom orthotics. Having two coworkers highly recommend the product also played a big role. After wearing the footbeds for two weeks, I no longer was limping around at work. I could walk normal. Before I was trying to walk without my heel touching the ground because the pain was so great. After a month of wearing the footbeds, my ankle no longer swelled. After 5 weeks, I no longer had to wear my ankle brace. This product far exceeded my expectations.

Lisa

Twelve Hour Days

I work in an emergency room department as a physician assistant and am on my feet 12 hour days. Your inserts are life savers. I recommend your product to other co-workers and patients. Thanks.

Marcos

The DKs are Awesome

i had sesamoiditis in my right foot... underneath my big toe. i'm addicted to tennis, so this was a serious problem, and it just refused to heal... i finally started looking into getting a custom orthotic, but i don't have the best health insurance right now, so the cost would have been a bit much. i did some research online, and your insoles were recommended on a message board. i order a pair of DK insoles and they were amazing. I ordered a second pair, and i don't wear shoes unless i have them in there. My foot isn't completely healed yet, but I've made a lot of progress since i started using the SOLE DK and i experience no pain or discomfort at all while i'm wearing them. i absolutely love your product. the DKs are awesome. i will definitely buy a few more and have wholeheartedly recommended them to a few people.

Terri

Running Comfortably

I have used your product for a few years now and am completely sold on how it has improved the pain I used to experience due to flat/pronated feet. I am a runner and your product has allowed me to continue running comfortably. Thank you for a wonderful product!

Carol

The SOLE Custom Footbeds have helped enormously

I could hardley walk because my feet hurt so much. My friend told me about SOLE custom footbeds and where to get them. I think my feet were hurting because I had my knee replaced in July after years of suffering with my knee out of place, so my feet probably had been compensating for it. Now that my knee is normal, my feet aren't. The SOLE custom footbeds have helped enormously. I still have heel pain and my feet tend to hurt when they are tired at night, but at least I can walk without the paid I had been experiencing. Thank you.

Michelle

Love them!

I have plantar fasciitis and I had the footbeds. I love flip flops and that was one of the things I missed most. I had such great luck with the footbeds I decided to try the flip flops, and let me tell you I was not disappointed. I can wear those and my foot doesn't hurt at all. My Mom and Aunt also have plantar fasciitis and they bought a pair and had the same results. I highly recommend these!

Jessica

No further issues with footpain

I have had plantar fascitis in the past. Initially I wore a custom orthotic, however, as soon as the Sole product became available I have been using the Sole footbed. I have had no further issues with foot pain since wearing the Sole footbed.

Randall Sparks

Army boots and plantar fasciitis

I have plantar fasciitis. I require custom orthotics, but insurance companies suck swampwater. My custom orthotics fell apart so I tried the Sole brand insoles after finding them in the PX. These things fit like a glove, hold arches where they need to be and all my foot pain has gone. I have about 6 pairs of these things and I'm sold on sole.

Jim Rabbitt

I couldn't be happier

The service and product I received is much better quality than I expected. I'll give you a little background. I suffered a bad sprain in my foot while joggin in october and had to go to the Sports Doctor for cortisone shots. That solved the immediate problem but I was told I would have to wear orthotics and he was glad to measure me up and order them. I had insurance and it was going to cost me only $20 for a co-pay. This involved two more visits at $20 a pop. He told me it would be 14 days. Well it was 5 weeks and still no call. When I reached him he told me he had a problem with the manufacture and just be patient. I cancelled the order and told him what I thought of his service. You were referred to me by a friend who just bought orthotics from a sports doctor and was not real happy with the product which I found to be chinsy. I did a little research on the net and thought you had what I needed. I ordered the thicker liners because not only do I run about 3 miles a day but I spend a lot of time on my feet at work. I have used them for about 3 weeks and couldn't be happier.

Scott

Great product!

I have to tell you, I'm thrilled with your product. I got married about 2 years ago, and typically, I put on about 20 pounds. I've been a casual runner (about 10 miles a week), and since I've gained weight, I started to develop some Plantar's Faciitis in my right foot. I subscribe to Runner's World, and they had an article on your product, so I purchased a pair of them to see if they would help.... THEY ARE WONDERFUL!!!... my feet don't throb after my run, and with just a little stretching, etc. they are making a world of difference. Great Product! I plan to buy another pair in a few months when I purchase new shoes.

Karen M

Your feet and legs will thank you

A must for anyone who is on their feet! I'm a runner and started having foot pain in various areas. This SOLE Custom Footbeds solved the aches and pains. My hip problem also disappeared. I own 2 pair and wear one for my workouts and one for everyday wear. Your feet and legs will thank you.

I am now pain free once again

I am a 52 year young runner here in the desert of Arizona. I have been running since high school and still enjoy the competition of road, track and trail running. I win or place in my age group most of the time. Yes, I have had my down times. Some due to over training and some due to "I'll just sleep a little longer." Recently I developed a Metatarsal injury on my left foot. I went through the routine of resting, icing and stretching without success. I thought for sure that I would have to take an extended time off from running. I tried various inserts to provide more protection for the foot. I even had a custom insert made by an orthopedic doctor. None of these attempts provided the protection I needed. On a visit to my local Performance Footwear running store, I noticed the "Your SOLE" display. I thought I had to give them a try. Not only did SOLE Custom Footbeds allow me to resume my normal training routine, it also allowed my metatarsal to recover and I am now pain free once again. Thank you "Your SOLE" for helping me to continue doing the sport I have loved for so long."

Geoff Prescott

The sense of relief was virtually immediate

I'm an active 53-year-old living in beautiful British Columbia. I overdid it on a couple of extended hikes this past summer and developed significant foot arch pain, something I had never experienced before. Being an avid hiker, skier, and mountain biker, I was pretty bummed out. I had resigned myself to a period of enforced rest and the purchase of expensive orthotics when the folks at my local Valhalla Pure store suggested I give the Sole footbed a try. I did, and I'm not making this up when I tell you the sense of relief was virtually immediate. I installed the footbeds in my running shoes on Friday, wore them around the house Saturday, and went golfing with my son on Sunday, pain free! I plan to get another pair for my ski boots as well. Thank you."

SOLE results in less fatigue

Wobble-naught CAD fitting & Myo-facts sEMG/Dartfish use Sole as a bio-feedback device. We want all our dealers to use them. Misaligned joints are very common in fitting business. Sole assist our CAD to correct alignment issues, providing pain relief & wear and tear to the body. With the correct bike setup, Sole footbeds allows the cyclists to get on the pedal stroke early and stay on it longer. We suggest the Sole due to its ability to mold to the needs of many different shoe types. You get a better inteface of shoe and human foot. The advantage is it is not made by just standing or sitting in a static position, but like "Speed balancing tires", while you pedal. After we have the cleat correct and the bike dialed to the human to the milimeter, then we have them mount the bike while in a trainer and mold the Sole while they pedal. It's that simple! The Sole footbed improves performance as it reduces the lag time of getting on the pedal storke. Using our Myo-facts sEMG/Dartfish, we teach pedaling from the arches rather than the toes or heel and the only way you can get the feedback to the brain is by having a footbed making contact w/ the arch. The skeletal muscle system is a voluntary system; that is, it needs an intact nerve supply to contract, and does so mostly as a result of conscious direction from the brain. If you can't feel your arch, you can't determine how to move your best! By using our Myo-facts sEMG/Dartfish, we can see the difference a Sole footbed makes. The electrical activity of muscles responding to nevous stimuli during human movement can be monitored with our technique call electromyography (EMG). We measure in millionths of a volt (microvolts)! The greater the intensity of contraction, or tension, the greater the electrical output. The sEMG can also reveal the declining output as muscular fatigue takes place. Without Sole, the muscles don't fire as well, and faster fatigue is the result. With the Sole, the results are the muscles start firing better and fatigue less, and pedal performance comes forth!

Wayne Eden

Keep up the good work

As a running specialty retailer, I can say without a doubt that SOLE Custom Footbeds have filled a niche in my store. We have fit runners, walkers, and working people with very positive results. The fact that SOLE fits a wider variety of foot types and shapes than most other orthotics sets them apart. So far, we have had very few returns of your product and no problem getting credit from your company on those units. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Kipp Carver

I have recommended SOLE footbeds to several of my customers

Before I tried SOLE footbeds, my right foot hurt so bad I had a noticeable limp. After using the SOLE footbed, the foot pain disappeared. My golf game has also improved. I feel much more solid over the ball. I have recommended SOLE footbeds to several of my customers. They too, seem to like SOLE footbeds as much as I do. I think all shoes should have SOLE. Thanks a lot.

Ted McGreer

I've sold a pile of sandals

As a Specialty Footwear Retailer, I have access to virtually every shoe on the market. When Sole decided to launch the Platinum Sandal, I was very sceptical of an $80 sandal. In fact, I decided not to order any for my store because I felt the price was just too high. When my sales rep at Sole asked me to simply try one pair for myself, I thought, fair enough I'll test them out. Two months later, I've sold a pile of these sandals, and I've not taken my pair off my feet. Keep in mind I personally own over 300 pairs of shoes. This sandal is biomechanically perfect, great for people with or without foot pain, and is bar none the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Another great product from Sole!

Michael Sweeny

I'd recommend your product to anyone

I have been a recreational runner for the past 10 years. The last 4 years have been spent dealing with Achilles tendinitis and plantar faciitis in my left foot and chronic plantar faciitis in my right foot. I have had cortisone shots, night splints, MRI's, anti-inflammatory, x-rays, physical therapy and numerous sets of custom orthotics. Nothing worked. I was ready to sell my treadmill and give up on running altogether. This past spring I read about a free consultation at a running store in Orland Park,IL. They were offering foot evaluations with podiatrist and physical therapist at the store. Upon evaluating me, they recommended your product for arch support. After all the time and money I spent, what's another 40 bucks I thought. If it doesn't work - I'm done running. Period! Needless to say they worked. I ran my first half marathon in May. I'll be fifty in November and always wanted to run a marathon. I am training for the Chicago Marathon in October. I just ran an 18 mile long run and feel great. I'd recommend your product to anyone.

Martha B

I love my SOLEs

I love my SOLES! My plantar faciitis is much better. I have had it for two years and have tried many different orthotics and wraps. Now, I only notice foot pain when I wear dress shoes that cannot handle the SOLES. Keeping my arch in the correct position has enabled me to be on my feet much longer without pain. The dress SOLES have enabled me to use good arch support in most of my shoes.

Rudy Martini

After heat molding, the footbeds fit my feet perfectly

I recently purchased the Sole footbeds and placed them in a pair of walking shoes. I have a problem with Plantar Fasciitis of the heel. Since placing the Sole footbeds into my shoes and doing a few exercises the pain in my foot began to disappear. I heated the Soles in the oven at 200 deg F as per directions. The soles fit my feet perfectly..I would certainly recommend the Sole FootBeds to anyone having problems with Bone Spurs (Plantar Fasciitis)....Yours truly,

Rob Allen

I wish I had found these sooner

I just recently beat a bad case of plantar fasciitis using cortisone shots and rehab. I was also fitted for a pair of custom orthotics to help prevent a recurrence. However, due to their rigid composition, they don't fit in all of my shoes. As a result of this, I decided to buy a pair of the SOLE Softec Ultra footbeds to use as a substitute in those shoes. I've used SuperFeet, SofSol, and Hapad in the past in an attempt to alleviate general foot pain caused by standing or walking too much, but none of them ever seemed to help. Therefore, my expectations weren't very high for the SOLE footbeds...I figured I would be satisfied if all they gave me were some extra arch and heel support to help keep the plantar fasciitis at bay. However, after a couple of long days on my feet, I realized that not only had these footbeds given me the extra support I was looking for, but they also made a significant difference in the amount of general foot pain caused by too much time on my feet. I only wish I had found these sooner! Thanks!

Beth Ellis

The solution to my plantar fasciitis

These insoles are the solution to my plantar fasciitis foot problem. Thank you!

Laura Johnson

I think I should be thanking you

I think I should be thanking you. I have Plantar Fasciitus in both feet and my doctor recommended SOLE Custom Footbeds instead of special orthotics. I was buying them from the "Naperville Running Co." but decided to go to your web site instead. I tell everyone I hear has a foot problem about them. I think they're GREAT. I will continue to use them.

Bobby G. Tindal

A great product that can be worn out of the box

I have used many off-the-shelf arch supports over the past ten years as an Orthotist for residents of Kansas. These people are soldiers and I see a variety of foot types. I average about 90 patients per week with approximately 70% having foot related problems. Most of these problems are associated with hyper-mobile joints of the foot causing a flattened arch. With most shoes or boots this flattened arch position is present due to inadequate insoles that are not conformed to every persons feet. Some of the problems are plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, shin splints, knee pain and sometimes hip and low back pain. SOLE has come up with a great product that can be worn out of the box or heat molded to fit a persons feet. These orthotics have proven to provide the contour that people need in their shoes and I often get requests for more than one pair. SOLE Custom Footbeds are a cost effective way to reduce the hyper-mobility of the feet comfortably without adjustments.

John M. Lucas

They proved flawless!

Sir, I've recently returned from some of the toughest training the US Army could offer.I found myself in the wildest country-side with hills and valleys. After purchasing 2 pair of your insoles, I decided to try them out in this environment. They proved flawless! I never received a blister, hot-spot, or even cramp in either foot the entire duration. My feet were wet everyday, climbing mountains, hills, valleys, walking long distances for hours and hours. And yet still no friction on the feet! These are by far the best purchase I ever made for the care of my feet. I can put these soles in any boot, and I can get the same results, comfort, and support. I appreciate and respect your product and advise it to all I work with. When I see these for sale in the PX, I'll surely get more! Thanks again,

I recommend SOLE to everyone that has asked me about boots and foot comfort

I recommend SOLE to everyone that has asked me about boots and foot comfort. This is why: I completed the Special Forces selection, class 007-03, on 26 June 2003. We walked/ran/crawled over 300 miles in 26 days. 320 people started and about 100 were selected. Of those people I finished 6th overall. Though I am proud of this, I am not bragging - it is partially a testament to your product. They were not the key to me finishing - a lot of mental/physical training and toughness went into that - but when other men were quitting or barely hanging on because of foot problems, I was walking like a champ. No hotspots, no blisters, absolutely no foot issues at all. The insoles were priceless. I would have paid $80 a piece. As a an Airborne Ranger, future SF officer, and absolute fanatic about boots, socks, insoles, and foot comfort in general, I can say that your product is a key ingredient to superior comfort and performance. What more testing can you ask for? Many of my friends and I have put them through SFAS with spectacular results. If every soldier were issued 2 pairs of your orthotics the Army would save 10 times as much in medical costs and increased soldier motivation/performance as it cost to issue them. (Product highlights) Most comfortable insole ever used in any shoe/boot. All my footwear will have them soon. Very durable. Even after sand, mud, water, hear, cold, kept their form did not get torn up when properly maintained (kept fairly clean, dried when wet). Did not slip or "ride up" heel of boot as many insoles do after hours of constant movement. You can't fight if you can't get to the battle. INVEST IN YOUR FEET. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!

SOLE has changed my feet forever

I was recently down at the Boston Marathon and I talked to Matt Chestnut, one of your employees. I wanted to thank him because my feet are now 100% better thanks to him. I met Matt in the lobby of the hotel and we chatted for a while over a drink and then the topic of foot health came into play. I told him that I could hardly walk after I ran a Marathon for about 2 weeks and he mentioned SOLE. I usually use custom made orthodics but I find they are too rigid for my feet. People pushing their own product usually puts me off but he came across in a genuine fashion and I now owe him for his honest and help. I came by his booth the next day and Matt took the time to fit my shoes and explain everything further from the previous night. Matt really knew his stuff and SOLE has changed my feet forever. Thanks SOLE.

Angela Shaw

I love my new footbeds not only for how they feel, but also for the price.

I am VERY satisfied with my footbeds. I paid $300 about 5 years ago for custom made orthotics and they were worn out and me feet hurt. I found SOLE footbeds while researching another expensive orthotic that I was thinking of ordering, buy they were so expensive. I read your guarantee and decided I had nothing to lose, and a lot to gain ($). My feet weren't instantly completely pain free, but they didn't hurt any worse, I feel strongly that if I hadn't had these new inserts that I would have really been hurting after that walk. Over the next week, the pain in my feet went away and it's been 6 weeks and the pain hasn't returned! I love my new footbeds not only for how they feel, but also for the price.

I can stand and walk without crying or pain

I bought my first pair on Valentine's Day and my second pair of Sole Orthotics last month as a spare to use in my gardening shoes. I was diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma and I had severe pain while trying to stand and walk and couldn't wear any pair of shoes without whimpering. After getting 3 injections in my foot with no relief, I was finally given the name of Fit-Right Northwest to obtain a special pair of shoes. I ended up getting a pair of Brooks with a wider box. The shoes alone didn't stop the pain and discomfort but as soon as the salesperson put in my very first pair of Sole Orthotics and I tried walking, I was totally amazed at the difference. I was so happy and so thrilled that I told the salesperson I could hug him for the pain relief. He also put a little cushion on your Sole at the ball of the feet and wearing the new shoes with your orthotics since Valentine's Day has made a world of difference to me and the ability to stand and walk without crying and without pain. So I wish to say a special "Thank You" for creating such a good, wonderful, and reasonably priced orthotic. Thank You

We can now do things that involve walking

My Husband doesn't type, so he told me to send this. Your insoles have been a God send. I prayed for him to get help. He could only work about 2 hours a day. His foot hurt so bad in the morning that he almost had to hop. Now he can work 5+ hours and doesn't hardly limp. It is night and day different. He used to say his foot was killing him. Now I hardly ever hear him complain. The doctors had x-rayed his foot and said there was nothing wrong with it. Our insurance is terrible so he didn't want to go back. He is a different person now. We can now do things that involve walking. It had hurt for several years and he was resigned to living with the pain. Now he doesn't have to. He has told everyone about your company. Thank you so much.

I have even started running again because of your product

I suffered from heel spurs, plantar fasciltis, heel pain, extreme pain for over 2 years. I went to a podiatrist and even got $400 pair of custom orthotics. Nothing helped. I would literally crawl to the bathroom some mornings because the pain was so unbearable. I had all but given up to the fact that it was something I would have to live with. My chiropractor then recommended I try your insoles. I ordered all three sizes. I was so tired of wearing tennis shoes, was hoping with your thin inserts I could wear my dress shoes again without having the pain more severe the next morning. After ONLY 3 DAYS of wearing your inserts, I had NO PAIN!!!! I still wear your Soles everyday, and can wear ALL my shoes now, and still NO PAIN!!! Wish I would have known about your product 2 years ago. I have even started running again because of your product.

I absolutely love my footbeds

I absolutely love my footbeds. These are the second pair I have purchased and for the first time in my life, my feet don't hurt after running or walking. I've had semi-custom orthodics made by a physical therapist due to my excessive pronation but they never could get them quite right and after 3 tries, I switched to my sole footbeds and have been very happy. I use them in my running shoes and casual shoes. Next I'm going to get a pair for my dress shoes and casual shoes. And I've told pretty much anyone that would listen to me about them and how much I like them. Before I used them , I didn't know that your feet didn't have to hurt!

I've always loved to dance

I am 60 years old and have always loved dancing. Rhythm tap and salsa are my favorite pastimes now and I am able to dance several times a week without any pain. I thoroughly recommend the use of your "Sole Orthotics" to anyone suffering from pain from a heel spur.

These insoles are better than sex

I wanted you to know that these insoles are better than sex. In the past year or so my feet have been killing me, my face probably looked like a prune with the pain, due only in part to high arches and insteps and over pronation of the left foot, due to poor fitting and non supporting athletic shoes by inexperienced shop staff. However, I had tried spenco and superfeet, the latter being ok, but not having any metatarsal cushioning. Now to sole orthotics, I bought a pair 3 days ago, and the relief was immediate. I now find myself running up stairs rather than creeping up like a crab to the hip pain; Enough said. "The best and better than sex" should be your slogan. Of course, just for people with foot problems. Thanks.

Barry Homan

I really love these insoles

I really love these insoles. I have had bad foot problems and since wearing these my feet feel much better. This is why I'm buying a second pair...Thanks.

Chrystal Strauss

Thanks so much for such a GREAT product and the prompt service

I've suffered from foot pain for a short time, but long enough to know that if your feet hurt, you hurt all over!! After being on my feet all day on cement I was ready to try anything. Found your site on the net and decided to give it a try. Ordered them online and watched the FedEx site for delivery time. Couldn't wait to try them. The day they were due to arrive we had a snow storm here in Iowa and I had just presumed they wouldn't be delivered due to the weather conditions. That night I checked the FedEx sight one last time and to my surprise it said they were on my front porch !! I couldn't wait to get them on and after only the second day with them-- I hate to take them off!!! They feel so good and my feet don't hurt!! Thanks so much for such a GREAT product and the prompt service.

I find that I use your products for just about everything related to mechanics

I find that I use your products for just about everything related to mechanics - plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, but I also found that I'm able to utilize these and modify them often for types of tendonitis problems, shins splints, and mechanical types of things like neuromas and bunions and hammer toes. I'm able to add some padding to them and also mold them a little bit to the patient. I think they've held up very well. I've been using them since last summer at the APMA show and I think they're an excellent over-the-counter product.

I just find these SOLES the best for my knees and foot pain

We use a lot less Motrin now!

I want to add another sport to your list - soccer. These SOLE inserts have been great to put in my teenagers' soccer cleats. They both experienced a lot of heel pain from running in cleats all of the time & we've found that even the best soccer cleats just don't give good support. The SOLE inserts have totally eliminated the foot pain that was just part of the soccer season for them. We use a lot less Motrin now!

David Herlihy

I am very pleased with my SOLE footbeds

I am very pleased with my SOLE footbeds. I had tendonitis in my left transverse arch from going too fast on a fairly steep downhill hike this fall. The pain, and fear of further injury, had me pretty much sidelined. I fitted the SOLE footbeds and immediately was back to walking 30 min. each morning and each evening without pain. Thanks for a great product.

Melba Barcena

My feet would hurt so bad that I could hardly walk

My Doctor recomended your product and I have been very pleased with it. My feet would hurt so bad that I could hardly walk. On one occasion they were hurting so bad that I had to use a walker just to get out of bed and walk around. Then the Doctor suggested that I get your insoles for my shoes and they are working great. Thank you for your great insoles.

Kipp Carver

My golf game has improved

Before I tried SOLE footbeds, my right foot hurt so bad I had a noticeable limp. After using the SOLE footbed, the foot pain disappeared. My golf game has also improved. I feel much more solid over the ball. I have recommended SOLE footbeds to several of my customers. They too, seem to like SOLE footbeds as much as I do. I think all shoes should have SOLE. Thanks a lot.

MG Yukich

Your product has cured me

Before your product I could hardly walk without great shooting pain in my feet. Your product has cured me. i feel like superman with your insoles. i refuse to wear a pair of shoes without your product. you people are truly sent from God.

Marjorie

My foot doctor recommended your footbeds

I have/had tendinitis in both feet...don't remember the name of the particular tendon. It had been bothering me for MONTHS and my foot doctor recommended your footbeds. They have made a BIG difference! I still feel a bit of discomfort but if I had to give a number I'd say it's 90% better! THANK you!

Marsha Voight

Thank you so much for this product

I purchased a pair of the heatable soles yesterday on the advice of my orthopedic surgeon. Here is some background about me. I have worked in a factory for 30 years. My feet are shot!! I have arthritis in both feet and ankles. I have fallen arches so badly that I have had to have foot fusion on the right foot. I now have a 3 inch screw from my heel to my ankle. I have had joint replacement on the great toe of the left foot. I also have had polio as a child. I have lived with foot pain for over 35 years....until NOW! I worked all day today and I have NO PAIN in my right foot at all. My left one is sore because I had surgery just four weeks ago. This is a real miracle for me. I have been thanking God all day for these soles. You may think I am exaggerating but you have no idea how much pain I have been in until now. I went to the store and bought a second pair right after work!!! Thank you so much for this product. I have told all my co-workers that have foot pain about these soles.

Thank you very much for making a difference in the way I walk and work!

I bought my first pair of Sole insoles to wear inside my new workboots for heavy, recreational gardening. I saw them in a store the day I bought my new boots, and I bought them because they were stiff enough to provide support but not so bulky that they changed the way my boots fit. The fit in the arch supports my heel and has resulted in my planter fasciitis improving to the point it has virtually disappeared and I have no more pain when I get up in the morning. Initially, I thought that the price was high, but compared to custom orthotics, the price was very reasonable and once I wore them for a full day the first time with no 'breaking in' time needed, I realized they are worth much, much more. I bought another pair to put inside the shoes I will be wearing to work as school starts up in September and will necessitate me being on my feet most of the day. I have a pair in my golf shoes, and will move them to my curling shoes when that season starts up! Thank you very much for making a difference in the way I walk and work!

Mike Mannion

Thanks for an outstanding product!

I am 66 years old and every day go on 6 - 10 mile walks. A while back I developed a case of plantar fasciitis/heel spurs on my left foot. I tried everything - rest, ice, stability shoes, motion control shoes - but nothing seemed to help. Then I read in Trail Runner's Magazine about the Dean Karnazes moldable insoles that your company makes. I decided to try a pair. And after about two weeks of using them in my walking shoes (actually I walk in running shoe and trail running shoes) the plantar fasciitis/heel spur problem has all but totally disappeared. I liked then so much and they worked so well that I just purchased my second pair. They are everything that you say about them - they deliver as promised, and I will continue to use them on all my walks to prevent more foot problems. Thanks for an outstanding product!

We have about 700 miles to go and I look forward to each step on my Sole footbeds

The Globalwarming 101 expedition just arrived in Qikiqtarjuaq after a rather arduous crossing through Pangnirtung pass. During our journey here, we encountered temperatures as cold as minus fifty fahrenheit and winds as high as seventy miles per hour. The terrain was as rough as we have ever seen for dogsled travel. We spent ten hours a day on our feet either skiing or running, depending on conditions. I am very thankful to have had my Sole footbeds in my Mukluks. The support they provide, in addition to the added insulation they give, are the perfect fit for serious foot care. After 100,000 miles of dogsled travel all over the planet it feels great to finally find the right footbed for traveling in some of the most extreme conditions on earth. We have about 700 miles to go and I look forward to each step on my Sole footbeds.

SOLE Custom Footbeds are awesome!

I have suffered from fibromyalgia, ethromyalgia, planter facitis and knee/hip pain for over 15 years. I have spent hundreds of dollars on orthopedic insoles that have done nothing. I was just about to give up on even walking, when I saw your product advertised on the internet. The SOLE Custom Footbeds are awesome! I wear them in my shoes everyday! In fact, I have 3 pair of the SOLE ULTRA Softec so that I can leave them in my shoes and not have to keep yanking them out and replacing them in my other shoes. At 44 years of age, even my walking had been limited by my daily plantar fasciitis and knee pain during and following my short walks outside. I now have absolutely no pain in my arches. And, my knee pain is gradually getting better. Yet, there is no cure for my other disabilities, The SOLE footbeds have truly helped me get around the house and even walking around outside! P.S. They are easy to heat in the oven - and even if you don't, they are still comfortable just as they are right out of the package and into your shoes! Thanks!

Daniel Govern

They work fantastic

They work fantastic. I am a distance runner who is training for Boston. I also am 5' 9" and 200 lbs. I have a lot of strain on my arches. Before I started using the SOLE Custom Footbeds I had problems with Plantar fasciitis in my left arch. Since I put the Footbeds in I have had no problems what so ever. I am averaging about 40-50 miles per week in them. I did a 22 mile training run yesterday without any problems. I love your product and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Margaret Bausack

The "SOLE" was the only one that felt comfortable.

After suffering from Plantar Fasciitis pain to the point where I thought I might have to resort to a doctor visit, a friend suggested that I try the local running products store. The "SOLE" was the only one that felt comfortable. I have been wearing them for 4 months now and have been pain free for quite some time. What I consider the most dramatic result though, was that after only 2 or 3 days of wear, I could get out of bed in the morning and walk with only minimal pain and by the evening I could also walk comfortably. Thanks for the great product.

Up until two months ago my feet were feeling the almost 15 years of pounding endured in the Worlds finest...The United States Marine Corps

Up until two months ago my feet were feeling the almost 15 years of pounding endured in the Worlds finest...The United States Marine Corps. Two months ago I purchased a set of yoursole insoles for my boots. After a few days I was sold, every pair of boots I own now has a set yoursole insoles inside. I have tried multiple types of insoles from other companies and they cannot measure up to yoursole. They made my boots feel like running shoes. Your product was simple to use and I will tell everyone I serve with about them. Semper Fi.

A year ago my feet looked like a war zone.

A year ago my feet looked like a war zone. The week between long runs wasn't enough to remedy the huge blisters I was getting on the sides of my feet and under many of my toes. The toes on the right foot suffered and the side of my left foot never could callus! My friend Jane kept talking about her magic socks - I'd tried everything - body glide, alcohol soaks - you name it. So I went to my local running store, Colorado Running Company and told Alicia I wanted some magic socks because Jane swore by them. She knew exactly what I was talking about. And the magic socks were good - but the really amazing thing is that magic Sole socks combined with the magic Sole insert mean that I am blister free - well except for the pinky toe on the left foot that I step on for 26.2 miles! Seriously, I had a massage today, just two weeks after running the Boston Marathon and my massage therapist, having seen the horror of my feet after previous marathons, marveled at them. She said that few marathoners feet looks this good. I'm running in the same shoes - training shoes and race day shoes - that I was a year ago. The difference - my Sole socks and my Sole inserts. I had enough other aches and pains to worry about during the marathon - it's nice to know that I don't have to worry about my feet anymore. I'm a believer - magic does work, especially when it's called Sole.

Wish we would have bought two pairs!

My daughter started having problems with her arches and her feet hurting. Our athletic trainer here at school suggested buying a pair of the insoles. The only problem---we wish we would have bought two pairs!!

The SOLE footbeds have reduced the pain I feel by 70% to 90%

I'm a type II insulin dependent diabetic and have been for over 40 years so I have "very sensitive feet". Also while trail running last October I jumped over a down tree and landed on a broken glass bottle. I gashed the ball of my right foot. It took several weeks to heal and I still get some "burning and pain" on the ball of my right foot. The Sole footbeds have reduced the pain I feel by 75% to 90% dependent on the weather (worse when it's hot) and the surface I run on. I mix road, crushed cinder and trail. I run 25 to 45 miles per week and am training for my first trail ultra (50K) on October 5th, 2008.

They are just like a second skin

I've been using SOLE footbeds and socks while training on a variety of surfaces (e.g. sidewalks, roads, mulch trails) in mild as well as cold weather. The footbeds are supportive without feeling rigid, and with them I have not had the blister problems I sometimes developed when running with my shoes' original footbeds. Since they are so lightweight I can wear them for long training runs and not feel as much fatigue as I have with other footbeds I've tried. I've worn the Air-Flow Cooling socks for a couple of road races and like their "breathability." They are just like a second skin. The Dual-Layer socks are my favourites for winter running--I've been comfortable in temperatures down to -15C with them.
