These are the only insoles I've tried that have taken away the awful burning pain in my feet and relieved the tired aching muscles in my calves and thighs. I stand for eight hours a day working on the casino floor so these insoles have given me the freedom to walk and stand pain free through an entire shift. They provide great arch and heel support. Thank you Spenco for making a great product!

These are WONDERFUL support footbeds only ONE problem... they SQUEEL when you walk. They need to be trimmed with duct tape and so does the inside of the shoe where they rub then they are quiet as a mouse. I am surprised Spenco doesn't address this problem. I'm sure it would be an easy fix by using a different material to finish off the footbed. I LOVE the support they give so I work with the "problem". I highly recommend these to anyone who needs orthotics. They do the same thing at a fraction of the price so you can afford to have them in ALL your shoes.
Relatively Light, Comfortable, Ideal for the Moderate Pronator or for Those That Need Cushioning October 11, 2008

These are relatively light insoles that are very comfortable with out being too firm as some heat and mold soft orthotics can be. I wore these on a treadmill doing 800 meter repeats and the cushioning was quite nice and two days later wore them on an 8 mile run on the Noland Trail. I like the fact that they provide reasonable support while maintaining flexibility. Possibly not for the severe pronator but for the moderate and for someone who needs cushioning, these insoles meet those needs. I generally have a left achilles problem that requires some control but also cushioning and these seem to work well in contrast to hard orthotics that have little cushioning. In addition, I also have periodic low back pain and these insoles seem to assist with that as well. Note that the insoles come in a two size range like 10-11, thus if you wear the lower size you will probably need to trim them. Also, follow the instructions and use the original insole of your shoes to trace with otherwise if you cut them a little too short, your big toes will over lap and you will be stuck with a short insole. I had no squeaking at all with my Sauconys. I plan to buy another pair to fit both pairs of my running shoes.
Best Insole For Me May 10, 2009

I'm a former Championship Ballroom Dance competitor (International Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Fox Trot, Quickstep) now pushing 70 -- but, my wife and I still try to fly around the floor like kids (heart rates in the 180s at times). Heck, we have our own full size ballroom. Anyhow, all that "big" movement is hard on the old tendons and ligaments -- particularly in the feet. Twice I've torn a tendon in my foot (along with two knee surgeries for good measure).
Those foot tendon injuries take a year to heal, and I don't have that many years left. Perhaps needless to say, I've tried everything regardless of price -- including custom prescribed orthotics.
After the second tendon tear, I looked for better insoles and found these Polysorbs. Jackpot! To date, I have bought about a dozen sets of Spenco Polysorb insoles. I use them in all my shoes all the time -- most importantly including my dance shoes. Those shoes are made of lightweight leather with almost glove thin leather soles.
By far, these are the best insoles I have tried for my particular feet. Most insoles don't do a thing for me. But, these shoe filling insoles provide snug, but comfortable support that has definitely helped me heal faster and has unquestionably prevented further injury during flat out practice and coaching sessions.
Worth a try if you are looking for comprehensive support during active sports or for everyday walking when recovering from a food injury.

My husband loves these and wants me to buy him another pair. They sound pricey but if you are a runner or walker they really spare your feet. I highly recommend.
