I use them every day. I walk a lot and replace every 6 to 8 weeks. I think you'll like them

I did trim mine, then used them all last winter without a problem. I just got my boots out of the closet for this year, and the insoles look great. No disintegration around the edges at all.

Ditto's to get large and trim down if required. I'll throw another wrench in the works though. If you are NOT a strong heel striker when running (which is a good thing) and actually land somewhat mid-foot or rather flat, I'd suggest the full-length version of their lift, because the lack of height on one leg can still be noticeable with negative effects with the forefoot lower. Then you'll really want large to give enough room to trim the same as the insole to go under it.

It is recommended for work boots, for people who work long hours on their feet , I purchased these insoles with massaging gel for my son, he works long hours every day of the week and he said that insoles make a big difference, at the end of the day his feet do not hurt and he is very happy that I purchased these insoles. I think would be better idea to buy these kind of insoles for sport activities, Dr. Scholl's product has it all. Good luck to find yours !

If the original insole is thin enough to be comfortable, then try. My experience is that this insoles are superior to any other... Fatigue free!

I really think so. They are great for "light" as they are made for welding. I was walking down Vegas Blvd. and got a lot of responses. The foam padding needs some 'buffering'. Maybe get some mole skin at the first aid station at your local store. I got the, for 'looks'. They are about the size of a cola can.

I think these will make your shoes too tight. I use mine in running shoes (much roomier than HH). For HH I would get the thin cushion type of insoles for HH. That should make them more comfortable without taking up too much room. You may even be able to peel out the old rough insole and put in the softer ones thereby taking up even less room.

Hi Charles, I purchased the Orthaheel 3/4 length insoles. I feel they are a little soft for me, so maybe you would like something firmer. I have a pair of Birkinstock 3/4 insoles and they are very firm. I would get them again. Best wishes, Elva Curley

I use them for extreme hiking - Cliffs, Ice, Frozen rivers Etc... You should probably look at a pair of good running shoes with spikes if the conditions call for it to be icy. I would not use these in a Marathon.

It's a very comfortable and sturdy shoe. It doesn't hurt anywhere. I ran the New York Marathon in this shoe in 1980. They have been making it that long or longer.Now I prefer some of their newer models like the Guide 7. Go into a store and try several as that is the best way to see what really works for you.

Sorry i just walk my dogs - no running. I would have thought they would be ok, but depending on the thickness of the soles of the shoes you are using you might feel the studs so it might not be very comfortable after a while. They are very stable though so you wouldn't slip!

I doubt it. I took out the original foam insole- inserted these and the fit did not change. In other words after using 5 or more pairs of these the same way the insole has not changed the size of the shoe. Hope this makes sense. Most insoles seem thin and one of the really nice things about these is they are very effective in cushioning my old feet. I am packing too much weight and these really help even tho they are not real thick. Most of the thin ones are worthless after a few days. You might try stacking a couple of cheap foam ones under a good pair of liners like these?? Good luck. Trapper I doubt it.

I would email Black Diamond. They are very good at getting back to you. Note that Leki's tip protectors are about $10/pair more, but Leki does say that their tips "... are designed to fit over the ends of LEKI trekking poles and other comparable manufacturer's poles..." It will depend on your style pole. And I always use alcohol to put them out by wetting the inside because they are a quite tight fit.

When I got them for my son I put them in a new pair of Asics sneakers. I did not take out the insole as the shoes were new. My son had no complaints and they are still in the sneakers since August of last year. The package the Dr. Scholl's come in say to take out the insole but I didnt. It wont hurt for you to try it first without taking out the insole and see if they are comfortable enough for you. Then you can decide to leave the insole in or take it out. I agree taking it out sometimes is too much work and messes up the shoe. LOL!! Valerie

Great on side walks, certain roads can be difficult but if the road is on the smoother side it ROCKS! Now I still rollerblade with these on the roads and in my area they are not that smooth but because I tend to rollerblade with a wide stride the side walks are not wide enough for me. So I do use these on the roads. At first my legs were extremely sore, but, got used to it. So I would say yes to both.

Yes, the PRO is way better made, more durable and comfortable: definitely worth the extra price! Mine last for months and I hike, etc in them. Just make sure to position them per the instructions (i.e., pointy end back) and experiment a little (rotate between side of instep and bottom of your foot) to find just the right point on short walks before going on a long walk. I wear mine over my socks, so they stay clean too.

Hello, I wear size 7 1/2 shoe. The arch in the ProFoot hits exactly where I need it to hit. However, I have a friend who wears a 6/12 shoe with the ProFoot and she says it's exactly what she needs. Apparently, these are related to the Magic Beans. It's cost is nominal so worth a try. I have velcro strips to more them from shoe to shoe. Hope this helps.
