For the past week or so, I have been nursing some foot pain. Basically, I have gone from running about 35 miles/week to only walking 7 to keep my daily streak alive. It’s awful. I haven’t had foot issues in a while, but have historically had some flare ups of Plantar Fasciitis over the years. I have high arches and have gone between insoles over the years, but this has gone by the wayside over…

So I’ve been running for a year and half now and I’ve had many realizations – one being that I might need to try insoles. I’ve often been told by my fellow runner friends that good insoles could help with my shin issues I have on and off. I never knew what kind of insoles I needed though, but I think I might have got the luck of the draw because the Cadence Insoles are…
When I first saw ShoeCue, I was immediately intrigued. How would it step up to the challenge of a recreational runner (or part time couch potato) with years of bad form and terrible posture? How it works: Your body relies on environmental feedback from the ground to optimize your movement. This is why the soles of your feet are so sensitive. Cushioned shoes block the feedback from reaching your feet. This encourages sub-optimal movement technique…
A few months ago I got a chance to try out some custom fit insoles from WIIVV Wearables. I was very impressed with the cool app that allowed you to take photos of your feet and arches, and receive personalized 3D-printed insoles almost by return mail. I loved my first pair, and my only slight reservation was that they were only 3/4 length and needed to be positioned flush with the heel of your…
Having been a devotee of SuperFeet insoles for several years, and having recently tried and liked SofSole insoles, I was eager to check out a pair of personally customized WIIV insoles. The first great thing about WIIVV is the individualized ordering process. You download the free app, follow the very clear instructions in the video, and use your smartphone to take photos of your feet from the top and the side. You get to choose…
About a year ago, I was battling some Plantas Fasciitis and was in need of some orthotic inserts. Luckily for me, Tread Labs sent over a pair of their inserts to try out. I had this to say at the time: Company: Years ago, I developed a sport sandal with a pronounced footbed contour and a simple, functional design (Chaco Z/1). Originally built for river guides, it developed a cult-like following. The SUV of sandals,…
I have funny feet. So funny, that I write a cartoon about them (Joe’s Toes). A few years ago I decided my feet needed more support than they were getting from the standard insoles or “sock liners” that came with my running shoes, so I have been a devotee of specialized insoles ever since. And when it comes to insoles, I put my foot down and demand the best products. So when I got the…
Ever since my mild bout of Plantar Fasciitis a year or so again, I have been a loud supporter of insoles. I took them out a few months back, figuring I had some sort of “superfeet”, and was instantly met with sore arches and sadness. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to try out a few insoles. The newest pair I am trying out is from Cadence Insoles.
Product: Stridalyzer Smart Insoles Location: Bangalore, India Kickstarter End Date: Jan, 7, 2015 Current Pledge: $19,198 of $25,000 Website: retisense.com I just purchased a pari of insoles for the first time in quite a while. My feet had just been hurting a bit, and I felt that perhaps I need a little bit more support in my new shoes. Until a store rep came over and talked to me, I ended up staring at the wall of insoles and trying to…
