SOLE Active Thick Insoles - Custom Moldable Orthotic Support for Any Arch Type, Plantar Fasciitis Relief - Multiple Sizes

Great product. I was skeptical as I’ve only used custom orthotics since I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. That said; I was not trying to spend hundreds again and wait weeks to get them in. I’ve worn the same pair of orthotics for too long and honestly haven’t found anything I’ve liked other than custom fit ones. Well; from the moment I pulled out my old inserts and added the new SOLE inserts; my feet actually felt happy. Not annoyed and in pain like I get with most shoes (if you have plantar fasciitis you know what I mean). Just satisfaction. They offer great arch support, nicely cushioned in all the right places and keeps me flat versus an incline with many other brands of inserts. I let the insoles get used to my feet for a few hours each day and over the last week of wearing them in very impressed. They fit my shoes well and as long as your shoes are loose enough it should be fine.

These are very good quality insoles that provide great support with heal and metatarsal padding. I’ve worn insoles in all of my shoes for over 40 years, these are now in all of my shoes. I’m very active and these insoles are perfect for playing Pickleball and walking. I even put them in dress shoes when I’m forced to wear them. Best of all is that they are durable and comfortable at a great price.

I’ve been buying these inserts for years now. Every single shoe I have has a pair in it. The inserts helped me get rid of my plantar fasciitis. I will not go without these. I prefer this one with the more rigid rubberized plastic bottoms over the cork bottoms. It lasts a lot longer than the cork that tends to degrade and fall apart a lot quicker. I can wear one insert beyond a year if I wanted to but I get new ones when I get new shoes. It’s awesome in my daily work shoes which are steel toes. You can imagine how uncomfortable those would be without this insert. It’s very cushiony but at the same time very sturdy and supportive. These are the thickest soles they make and I would t want to try or buy other brands or styles. I hope these inserts never go away. I’d say you should try it.

These insoles have been invaluable with treating plantar fasciitis symptoms where other insoles failed. However, their price makes them hard to justify buying more than one pair because they’re almost as expensive as a pair of shoes themselves. They are easy to remove and transfer to another pair of shoes, which helps.

Got these for when I was at 235 and started jogging. I lost hella weight and these now are too much support! I had to go down to the medium thickness! I didn’t get any shin splints, my back doesn’t hurt. I feel good on my runs. I even did my very first two 5k runs! Would recommend on brooks adrenaline!

These soles have been life changing. My plantar facetious is so much better when I wear these.

These are not worth $55 if you want my honest opinion. However...if you can get them on sale for $29.99 I say go for it. I ended up getting on the subscription plan every 3 months because I work at a factory and I'm on my feet from 10-12 hours a day. I go through insoles like nobody's business. So $28.49 is a pretty good deal for me not to have foot pain. I got the Protalus M-100 Elite at $64.99 and I wasn't too pleased over the few days I had them. They felt good at first but then the squeak squeak squeak every time I walked got annoying really quick. Plus the balls of my feet hurt so bad after wearing them. I ended up getting these in a size 12 for my size 11D boots. The size 11 SOLE insoles were too short. I don't mind cutting to get a perfect fit so that's what I did. I placed them in my boots and then threw my boots into the over at 170 which the door cracked. I was able to get a good mold and they feel amazing. My left foot is still adjusting, that's the foot I had the most issues with, but the right foot feels great. No pain whatsoever. Highly recommend.

I've been using the regular Sole brand Active Thick insoles for a decade now, but this is the first time trying them with the Met Pad. After a couple of days with them in my Justin slip-on work boots, the arch and the outside edge of the ball of my right foot started hurting bad, and hasn't stopped for several months now. My left foot is fine. I'm not entirely sure if maybe I hurt my right foot and just don't remember, or if it's due to the Met Pad. I believe it's the Met Pad. Therefore, I heated up the right insole with a heat gun and reformed it to remove the pad, and it helped a little bit, but I'm still having sometimes severe foot pain on that side. I've stopped wearing my boots for a while and bought a new pair of Sketchers work tennis shoes. Hoping this will help with time. I plan on getting a new set of the regular insoles again, but without the Met Pad in the future, and I will keep buying them as needed for as long as they are still on the market because they have really helped me overcome some some very severe foot issues and pain since purchasing my first set in 2015. I'm 6'0" tall and have gained a lot of weight since 2021 after an almost deadly auto accident, as well as several surgeries since then to fix the stuff it screwed up, and I'm up to almost 300 lbs now. When I was on average ~230 lbs and working like a crazy person every day, the regular insoles would last me about a year. Hope this helps.

I purchased my first pair of SOLE Active Thick with Metatarsal Pads insoles over 2 years ago and they are still working well! I ordered the SOLE Active Thick Wide insoles this time (though Amazon seems to want to put my review under the narrower, Met Pad version) and wanted to share my initial impressions. I have a 4E width foot and typically favour KEEN boots and shoes because of their wide toe box design. Looking at the picture of the shoes you will notice that the KEEN Casual Oxford Hiker on the right side has the widest toe box of the three, wider than the KEEN Anchorage III Chelsea boot on the left, and even more so than the Clarks Morris Easy Chelsea boot in the centre. When I compare the new Wide version to the Met Pad version from 2 years ago (see other photo), the Wide is approximately 103mm across the widest part vs. only 95mm on the Met Pad version. I placed the Wide insole into the KEEN hiker (back to picture 1 again, on the right) and it seemed to be custom-made as it fit the inside of the KEEN shoe perfectly from edge to edge and heel to toe. Wearing the shoes felt very comfortable, though I haven't had them long enough to "break them in" and have them custom mould themselves to my feet through body heat and wear. One potential concern is that this Wide version does not seem to have the metatarsal pad like the ones I previously bought. I don't know if this will affect the comfort or longevity of this product but I will update over time if I notice any significant variances between the two products. For now, I am confident that this Wide version will perform much like its narrower sibling but just, well - wider. Excellent product for people like me with 4E wide feet and plantar fasciitis. Highly recommended!

Great insoles for my Planter Faacitis. It relieves my pain very well.

I have been wearing steel toed boots in the trades for decades now, and SOLE insoles make work boots the most comfortable over any other insert I have tried; not so much with cushioning (not even with the thick style), they work wonders for arch support of my flat feet . I would advise against heating them in an oven before using for the first time, as I have always had the best success by just putting them in new boots, making them only a bit uncomfortable for part of the first day, just like a new footwear break-in period. These SOLE insoles have always lasted the life of a pair of work boots, and often beyond where they can be moved down to, say, a pair of hiking boots; a new pair of work boots always gets a new pair of SOLEs with me. The 'active thick' style are also great for EE width boots, as I once even tried them in a pair of overpriced and uncomfortable CAT boots in regular D width, where they literally wore holes thru the sides!

Fits good but expensive

I have been using this brand of insoles for at least the last 10 years of my life. I use to be able to buy them at Marks Work Wharehouse but they no longer sell so I buy them on Amazon now. I have size 13 feet and I never have to mold them to my because I already have deep arches. The chiropract recently told me that I had better feet than my brother and thought that was odd. I told him that I would have to credit to Sole insoles for that. They also have a great life span and sometimes will outlast my work boats that I have to wear everyday.
