I’m having some issues with plantar fasciitis so I picked up inserts for all the shoes I wear regularly, including my house slippers. Seems to be helping already.

      I got four pairs: my brown boots, my grey boots, my motorcycle boots and my slippers. The inserts were buy one get one, so that was nice.

    I should get inserts for my work boots. They’re so uncomfortable. Blundstones. I think they’re actually more uncomfortable than walking around barefoot. I was crawling under the house running a network cable so I had my “get trashed” clothes on, then I took the dog for a walk, man these boots sucked. I’ll have to replace them if I need to start wearing them daily again. My redback boots were so much more comfortable but they eventually fell apart at the seam between the sole and the leather upper.

    I’ve had such poor luck with inserts. I recently bought some for my heel. They just do not stay in place. Not really that comfortable either now that I think about it. I might look at getting some larger ones, but honestly the ones I’ve had in the past haven’t been that helpful either.

    I use inlays or inserts with foot support for a very long time now although I never had problems with my feet. I buy shoes only after I tried them on with such inserts.

    Besides medical reasons there’s a another big advantage to such inserts: One can exchange them when they get old and sweaty so the shoe doesn’t start to stink permanently. Can prolong the usability of shoes immensely and help evade embarrassing situations.

    If you have teenagers in the house you probably know what I’m talking about :)
