Ailaka Elastic Shock Absorbing Height Increasing Sports Shoe Insoles, Soft Breathable Honeycomb Orthotic Replacement Inserts for Men & Women

Edit latest update; May 5 '23 I was so upset that the price went up so much right after I'd bought, but I checked a couple days ago, just for grins, and the price was about where it had been previously, I bought a second pair, very nice product. I returned my star rating to 5 , from 2. If you read none of the rest, and don't waste your time lol, a thing to note is that they are heavily perfumed or scented, it was overwhelming for my taste so I set them in the sun for a day, definitely not a big issue, but this dulled the level of the 'scent' to a point where it was just right, for me, I would guess that other users are fine with the scent..theser are firm but not overly so, just perfect. I would buy again. Edit/update, 2 days later I decide on another pair, the price jumped 15%, grrr, 14.44 to 16.99, I'll pass, no more pairs for me, not at all happy, I feel like we're being manipulated and all are victims of price gougers. Don't get me wrong, I buy everything I can via Amazon, probably has nothing to do with them, rather the vendors. Original Review; Just the right firmness, not too soft, and not too stiff, just right. Very easy to cut to size, I had an idea what the line labeled 42 was, I couldn't make out the US sizes if they were actually there, I just remembered that 42 seemed familiar and wasn't much off of the soles. Fit perfectly. The scent/odor/perfume was overwhelming even before I opened the package lol, really strong, I wasn't sure if it was a perfume or or VOC's from manufacturing, I set them out in the sun for the day just in case lol (again) later the scent/smell, was much more tolerable, and not unpleasant, I surmised eventually that the 'Scent' was not something dangerous or harmful . I will likely by another pair. 5 stars + .

These are the BEST insoles while adding height and comfort for those with flat feet or have worn high heels all their lives and cannot wear flat shoes comfortably or have sensitive spots. I have all of thee above problems and hav tried the heel lift inserts several kind from amazon ( none worked well THEY ALL MOVE FORWARD in the shoe soooo annoying and waste of money and effort) . So for my very flat boots like Minnetonka the 3c,m work very well and for my boots with a inch or so heel the 2.5cm work better. But plz note these do take up space in your boot/Shoe so if you bought shoes leaning larger because u typically use a insole anyway should work fine or if they are suede or leather that u can stretch where needed fine but just be warned a little extra room is needed for these to fit and feel comfortable. They are trim to size which is great because some shoes run wider etc. honestly these have changed my life i have bought several pair of each height out of fear that they will sell out! Life long loyal customer thank u! EDIT: still loving these and can not wear any of my shoes without them now! Have since tried the lowest 1.5 cm in my sneakers and trainers and they are amazing and do not force my heel out at all. My knee pain has dramatically decreased since using all the different heights in every one of my boots and shoes. The added height and slenderizing visual effect on my short legs is just a added huge plus!!

I haven't walked all day yet with these in my boots yet, but they have already made a difference. My boots are the right size, but my heel tends to slip even when tightly tied. This problem is solved. They are a great balance for being softer insoles, and yet are supportive. The insoles don't have that super hard insert. I'm now walking on a slight incline which makes me walk a little bit more on my toes. It seems to help my gait. My feet don't feel sore either! Edit: June 09, 2020. I took off a star(really half a star), because these have slight bumpy texture around the ball of the foor. This has been causing a rugburn sensation, no matter the socks. I wear these inserts with boots and for the most part they have saved my feet. If they were smooth, it would probably near perfect.

I was actually shopping for heel insoles when in my search I came across these honeycomb full shoe insoles. I am flat footed and I always put heel insoles in my shoes. I ordered the 1.5 and 2.5cm insoles. I have been wearing these in my athletic shoes for three days now and I can't say enough just how much I love them. They are so comfortable and help absorb shock and reduce stress on my feet and back. I like the mesh that wicks away moisture from my feet and keeps them dry. I especially like the honeycomb feature and that's one big reason I wanted to try these and I'm sure glad I did. They are super lightweight and you can just cut to the size you need. I always order my shoes a half size larger in order to provide adequate room for my insoles. The thicker ones I cut down shorter since I actually only wanted heel insoles. I have pain in my legs and the cushioning helps reduce impact on my muscles. These really help if I am standing for a long period of time. These insoles are durable and high quality. I will be ordering more as I know they will last. Also, if you want to look at little taller, you can't go wrong with these.

It does the job well, you can fit it to size and match your needs. However, if you are on your feet all day like I am, the hard foam will fatigue your feet early into the day. Also the lack of midfoot support should be considered.

Me gusto mucho el material y la calidad!

Nuevamente volví a comprar estas plantillas pero ahora de menor altura, ¡Son comidísimas! Las he recomendado a varias de mis amigas y opinan lo mismo. De verdad son imprescindibles para mi.

Could feel the benefit of wearing these immediately (long term Achilles Tendonitis).

Great product very discreet, fits perfectly and comfortable. Would highly recommend and will be buying more *****

Bought these for 2 reasons like most do, joint pains (particularly my heels and sometimes my knees) and also thought why not be slightly taller. I’ve worn these for 2 days so far, the first day I did about 6k steps and did experience some slight pain in my feet and in my left knee with the insoles. 2nd day I did about 16k steps and did experience the same pain in my knee and feet for a few mins at first but it quickly went away as I didn’t experience any more pain after that. Generally speaking it has helped so far with joint pains as I haven’t experienced any or very little pain in my heels and only slight pain in my knees. Although, you should be wary of becoming adjusted to wearing thicker insoles might come with a bit of pain at first. On the height side of things if you’re buying these insoles only for height you should know they give about 1.5-1.7cm when wearing them, which may not seem like much but it’s definitely noticeable. I’m just under 5”11 or 179cm at midday and weight about 76kg/168 pounds/12 stone so just a heads up on that part. Also, I’ve noted a few questions on if they work with trainers and well I used airforces on the first 2 days of use and they fit pretty well. I’ve had to adjust my laces to be tighter so that heel doesn’t creep up when walking but other than that they’re a good fit with airforces. Positives: Comfortable and spongy insoles that are hard but not too hard to the point they’re uncomfortable. Helped with joint pains thus far. Height bonus of about 2cm, just under the 2.5cm that’s advertised. Negatives: Slight pain in feet on first day or so of use with insoles but adjusted but haven’t felt pain since. *Edit* Have used the insoles for 10 days now and the slight pain I got at first from wearing the insoles has completely disappeared. I’ve even played sports and have gone on some runs with them in and they feel absolutely fine. *Not really a negative but of course it doesn’t give exact height that’s advertised as after having weight put on the insoles it gives about half of the height advertised.
