Superfeet All-Purpose Wide-Fit Support Insoles (WideGreen) - Orthotic Arch Support Shoe Inserts for Wide Feet - Trim-to-Fit Design for Perfect Fit - Ideal for Running, Hiking & Work Boots

No joke have been using this brand and type of insole since I was 15 years old (now 34). I have flatter feet which causes them to widen so having these helps my foot, ankle, knee and hip pain.First started using them when I was in marching band and experienced horrendous foot pain. My doctor recommended an overhaul of my footwear. Got Brooks tennis shoes and these insoles and the pain subsided. Since then, I've worn them on and off for a few different reasons (not marching anymore but definitely needed them when I was pregnant :)). I've worn them in converse and vans and while I should probably forgo those shoes, having the insoles helps immensely.Tips and tricks: do not trace your insole of your shoe but rather do a solid outline of your foot. I have found that doing this will help be able to move them from shoe to shoe. I don't have tons of pairs orf shoes that I wear that require this, and simply put, cannot afford to have multiple pairs of these insoles, so I move them from shoe to shoe.This is not a soft insole and that suprised me the first time, but you get used to them because they provide comfort and ease for the rest of your legs. Post pregnancy, I have some lingering hip and back pain and when I don't have the insoles it does feel worse. Do these solve all of those problems? No but it certainly helps to have them to take the edge of those aches.Everyday use will shorten their lifespan, but that just goes with insole use. For heavy use, let's say, you spend a lot of time on your feet at work, I worked in food and I had to buy a new set nearly every six months, then you'll have to keep up with them. I have an office job now and I think I can make it about a year and some change.I cannot recommend these enough.
