What's the best pair of insoles you've ever bought?

Posted by Cumulus-Crafts@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 13 comments

I'm going to MCM London next month and I walk A LOT over con weekends. My feet always ache after every day, and it's worse this weekend because I'll be wearing high heels. Any recommendations from hikers/people on their feet all day?

In the past, I've used 'Riemot Memory Foam Insoles', and they were alright, but not great. I saw some people recommending getting plantar fasciitis insoles, or Scholl Gel Activ insoles?

I have custom insoles from a podiatrist for my plantar fasciitis and gel insoles underneath but that’s in my wellies. Gel insoles in anything else, except a pair of sketchers that are so bloody comfy, even without socks

I love my Sketchers. I wish I could wear them with every outfit because they're so comfy.

Late to the party, but a friend who does a lot of walking due to her job swears by these: Walking Insoles - Shock-absorbing Walking Insoles | Enertor – ENERTOR®

I'm another who saw a podiatrist but I have also gone for barefoot shoes. They lengthen out your hamstrings and might help for when you are not in heels.

But sheepskin ones have been the best off shelf - they cushion, wick moisture away. Also heel protectors stop your foot slipping in shoe. The gel ones helped a lot.

Those Gel insoles from Scholl. Actually comfortable and last a lot longer than regular insole inserts.

Sorbothane sorbo pro insoles are my go to. They are not the softest insole you can buy, but support and comfort are a solid 10 for me. I’m a A&E doctor and I spent so much time on my feet and do a lot of steps, and they haven’t done me wrong over the last decade. Enertor walking insoles are in second place, not quite as supportive, but softer if that’s what you’re going for.
