June 7, 20223 yr I should've asked this before our trip where I was walking 10 miles a day. What's the best insoles for running or walking shoes? I wear Asics but have had some issues with plantar fasciitis before. I have some ones from my podiatrist for my everyday shoes. I'd like some for when I wear running or walking shoes but don't want to go back to him for them. I mostly need good cushioning for stability as I overpronate when I walk. My Asics help with that but I find the cushioning is just not enough. I bought some Dr. Scholl's from Target where you cut them down to fit your feet. They worked okay but weren't enough. Where should I look for some better ones? A running store like Run on?
June 7, 20223 yr If you have had issues in the past I might suggest seeing a podiatrist or going to one of those custom orthotics places. Best is pretty subjective depending on your foot type, body type, etc.
June 7, 20223 yr Author Not having issues now. It's just the shoes aren't super comfortable. When I had plantar fasciitis, it hurt non-stop. It only hurts when I walk too long. I just need more cushioning in my shoes.
June 7, 20223 yr Cadence EX. That model is in store only so you have to get them at InStep. I had severe plantar fasciitis and it cleared up in a month after getting those insoles. I recommend going to InStep so they can measure your arch location. I had to go a full size down for the insole due to a high arch. I had been buying my shoe size and that was putting the support in the wrong location.
June 9, 20223 yr Look at some of the Superfeet insoles. They have some specifically for PF foot pain relief. I don’t have PF but do have very high arches and use their Superfeet green insoles in my hiking shoes and work boots.
June 9, 20223 yr If you have a FSA/HSA you can normally use the funds to reimburse your costs with insoles. Saves you a few bucks.
June 9, 20223 yr I second the podiatrist idea. I found out, at age 51, that I have fairly high arches. The doc gave me some Sole Vantage inserts and they make a huge difference. They are easy to change from shoe to show as I rotate amongst 2-3 pairs.
June 9, 20223 yr Tried a few different styles of super feet on Amazon. The best ones for me were the Flex model. $32 for the pair but they’ve done wonders for me.
June 9, 20223 yr I use the OG green and the thinner carbon fiber. Depends on the shoe but they’re life savers Edited June 9, 20223 yr by tx 3 putt
August 22, 20232 yr For enhanced comfort and support during running or walking, particularly if you're dealing with plantar fasciitis and overpronation, I recommend considering Skechers pickleball shoes. These are designed to provide excellent cushioning and arch support, which can aid in relieving discomfort and enhancing stability. Given your specific needs and previous issues, Skechers Arch Fit insoles could be a suitable choice to augment your Asics running or walking shoes. While a specialized running store like Run On could be a good place to find quality insoles, you might also want to explore other reputable retailers that offer a wide range of orthotic options, ensuring you find the best fit for your unique requirements.
