| The Sof Sole inserts I've been using... until now. |
The insoles had a lifetime warranty according to the salesperson at the store and have been moved from shoe to shoe each time I swapped shoes. I currently own three pair of Zigs and these insoles have been in every one. With the insoles and the zig outsole, I've found these to be the most comfortable shoes for long periods of walking and standing on hard floors. My feet are picky and I put them through a lot. I have one that was broken once so it's very particular about what I put it in and how I walk on it.
So when Influenster said "Hey! Fill out this survey and you might qualify to test a new insole by Dr. Scholl's I was both happy and apprehensive. I didn't want to mess with a good thing, especially if pain was involved, but I was starting to feel some wear in my old soles, so maybe this was the time to move on. Enter the Active Series insoles from Dr. Scholl's.
Right off the bat I noticed they were thicker. Even the toe area which tends to be neglected had almost twice the padding underfoot. At first I was afraid this would make my shoes feel too tight once they were on, but it just provides a snug fit that helps keep them "in line."
They also have a higher arch and heel cup than the Sof Soles brand insoles. It felt a little funny at first because apparently my feet are on the flat (and wide) side but they soon adapted and now they feel quite comfortable.
I recently took a trip that involved 6 hours of driving and another 10 hours of walking and standing on concrete and hard gym floors. At the end of the day, my feet felt fine. (My back hurt from sitting on the gym bleachers but that had nothing to do with my insoles. LOL).
Overall, I'm impressed. I may just pick up another pair to put in some of my other zigs, to keep from moving them back and forth. :)
