3.5 of 5 "*". No bending carbon fiber under the forefoot, no full carbon fiber insoles. In these ones the carbon fiber plate covers only the arch plus around the heel and not the forefoot or toe area up front. But in true, dynamic ones the stiff, springy carbon fiber plate covers the whole foot to be bent under the forefoot when the heel is lifted to wind the carbon fiber spring and to return that energy of bending by pushing the foot back, so it is flattened easier or faster. So these insoles are not true, dynamic carbon fiber ones for not extending carbon fiber under the forefoot and not being able to spring back to its flat shape assisting in flattening the foot by giving back the energy stored in bending carbon fiber under the forefoot. Otherwise they are fine, but expensive considering only a static carbon fiber function. The insoles well amortize the heel and the forefoot as well as support the arch. Used materials and the workmanship are great. They are suitable not only for sneakers, but other shoes up to for work ones and boots, including winter ones. They are formed properly all along, like excellent non-carbon fiber insoles starting at as little as $7. The question remains: is bending the plate that absorbs energy when foot bending needs to be the fastest and thus without additional resistance of bending also the plate and the whole concept are flawed. Maybe not, especially when disregarding physics. We might need more energy for foot bending to attack then to flatten the foot usually when retreating thus not needing much assistance to do it faster or easier. Read more

I spend my days in carpentry, pounding nails and my poor feet. These insoles feel like tiny shock absorbers for my arches and heels, basically a spa day in my boots. Pricey? Yeah, but unless I want to start hobbling around like an old man at 35, they’re worth every penny. They give great support for arches, heels, and anyone who’s on their feet a lot. The carbon fiber layer adds a nice spring, so walking or running feels easier. They’re not super soft like gel, but that firmness is actually better for support and foot pain. Read more

These insoles are constructed of a material that is very good. They cushion my feet in the areas no other insoles do and fit well into my shoes to provide me the arch support I was needing. Read more

Very comfortable in my work boots and gives more support than the ones that came in them. They look good and seem to be very well made and be durable. Been using them for 3 months and they still look brand new. Read more

I ordered these insoles for my wife to replace the standard insoles in her sneakers. She has plantar fasciitis in both feet, and is often in pain with walking, especially when she does not have good arch support. She wears a women’s size 11 wide, and she found that these insoles fit well in her sneakers without modification. The insoles offer good support and cushioning. The high arch is supportive and comfortable, and there is good heel padding. She has noticed a decrease in her foot pain when using these insoles. While the pain is not completely gone, it is reduced quite a bit, and she is able to walk and stand more comfortably. Her job involves long periods of standing, and these insoles have made this more tolerable. The insoles are sturdy and she expects them to last for a long time before needing to be replaced. Read more
