I just bought these and I really like them. I have high arch's and buying anything but pricey shoes usually means I'm in pain when I walk. I had a pair of inserts once I really liked but until now haven't been able to find anymore. I saw these and decided to give them a try. First impression is they feel great and they don't crowd out my foot or toes like most do. I don't care for the gel inserts either, these have a nice feel to them, but not a yucky, sweaty feel like gel inserts do, at least for me. I have them in a pair of women's Van's shoes and I really like the way they feel. Going to try them in a pair of boots I bought also.
