Question about running shoes and insoles?




MICHAEL H


So.
I ordered a pair of very nice motion controlled shoes, and flat feet insoles..
Can anyone explain HOW well this will help my running/stature/walking?



Answer
Well the running is up to you. The shoes won't instantly get you in to shape but they will help a lot and make sure that you have all the resources you need to run or walk. If you got them custom fitted, they should help you prevent injury and keep your feet comfy.

What is the deal with running shoe manufacturers producing extremely low quality insoles?

What is the deal with running shoe manufacturers producing lower and lower quality insoles (sock liners)? Is this their answer to keeping running shoe prices (relatively) low? While shopping through Asics models, even the $130 pair had garbage quality insoles making it mandatory to upgrade to cushioning insoles, typically at $20 a set. What is your take on this issue?


Answer
You're generally expected to put in your own insoles, and most people do to tweak the shoe to their liking.

What comes in the shoe is indeed simply a "sock liner" and not really an insole.

It's simply their recognition that the sock liner they include in the shoe is going to get tossed by 90% of buyers, and they shouldn't waste a lot of resources on it. Its main function is to allow people to try on the shoe and maybe get through an emergency run or two if there's need. It's not meant to last the life of the shoe, and it's not an "insole."
