Sorbothane Unisex's Double Strike Insole

Older models of the same product always fitted my wide boots size 9 1/2 without adjustment. I don't recall now but I think they so,d that size without adjustment decades ago.These are now made for a narrow or normal foot and I am between sizes and a wide foot. The company say they can be cut down, I did that but they just do not feel right and the width differential is not affected.I have had a look at the company website and guess what?All of the insole types of the same size are different lengths and width fittings!My advice is to go there first and measure the insoles that need replacing.While I'm at it, why do expensive boot manufacturers put in rubbish insoles that rarely do the job?Answers on a postcard....

So many brands and types to choose from, so many size variations, it's a mine field and can be expensive if you don't get it right or you end up with an insole that you're really not happy with and just spoils your every step. Well, that's my thoughts when spending hours reading reviews and narrowing it down.So, I finally went for these, and I'm so glad I did. Now, we all have different views, likes and dislikes, and many shoes are different shapes and sizes but for my use and my intended boots, these couldn't be better and it's as though they are tailored to them. This is a demonstration of how different some shoes can fit. So, I'm about a size 10.5 UK. I have a pair of Berghaus walking boots which are still going strong after 10 years but after a proper clean and reproof, I decided to replace the laces and insoles. So my search began. Now any insoles would have been an improvement but I wanted the Rolls Royce of insoles to complement the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned. I settled on these, in a size 10 and laid over my old insoles they are a perfect match. So they fit a Berghaus walking boot to correct size. Now, I've also bought a brand new pair of Merrell walking boots but knowing Merrell tend to come up small on me I ordered the boots in an 11 UK size. They fit me perfectly. The insoles in the Merrell boots have quite a raised arch which I'm not really comfortable with so I decided to replace those too. I ordered a size 10 insole again, even though the Merrell boots are an 11. Again they fitted perfectly and are a massive improvement.So that's as much info as I can give on sizing, now for my view on performance: I love them, hence why I never hesitated to immediately order another pair for my new boots. They are quite deep, especially the heel. They make the ride so much more comfortable, a complete transformation. I don't know how they will be in other footwear but I can't imagine anything else this comfortable and well manufactured for walking boots.Hopefully I've helped someone with all this waffle.

Got from the Warehouse as they were cheaper than the full priced onesOk for now, going a bit flat now but still comfortable

Seems to reduce the impact on my feet from high-impact jumping / lunging in badminton. Much better than the stock insoles that came with the shoes initially

I bought these for my work boots. The solid midsole and caps make them incredibly unflexible, and they were breaking my feet as I wear 'barefoot' shoes or go barefoot completely when not working. These insoles have helped massively. I figured that if I can't have the flexibility in the shoes (impossible with the safety features), then I need to embrace cushioning. I am still finishing the day with slightly stiff feet, but the pain has gone.For a decent fit, I removed the insole from to boot to use as a template and trim the new insoles to the right shape, before putting both into the boot.

Best insoles for arch support and pad protection

So so so comfy

I bought these for a pair of leather combat boots, which needed some extra support internally to improve comfort. Although by no means the cheapest option, this technology is something with which I am familiar. Other the years I have bought Sorbothane for all my training and hiking shoes and boots. The support, comfort, insulation and shock-absorption these insoles provide is the best by far. They have always fitted by footwear straight out of the box, without the need for cutting to size. They will enhance your use of any shoe or boot; put them in a cheap pair of trainers and they elevate them, add them to your best mountain boots and they improve and enhance your investment in expensive performance boots. From what I have seen (just on Amazon) the Sorbothane originals are about £5 more than a cheap copy, that is £2.50 per foot. I think your foot is worth that, don't you? I highly recommend these insoles, and will be buying more from this seller soon. BTG
