[pct-l] Insoles

[Jessica Winters]

Hey there!  I have used all kinds of insoles for my shoes along  
1000's of miles.  I used super feet for a long time but am pretty  
much over them now.  I really like a kind of insole called walkfit.   
http://www.walkfit.com/

The thing I like about these is you can gradually change the height  
of the arch with different inserts.  It really helped some of the  
foot pain I was having.  I kow it seems a little cheezy from an  
infomercial  but if the shoe fits, right.....?

They are different in that they are very stiff and have a lot of  
support.  They will not get squishy and will continue to support and  
support and support. You won't have to change them out.  It does take  
some getting used to when wearing these because they are so  
supportive, but start small and work your way up the arch ladder.  I  
found what is interesting too, is that my right foot can wear the  
high arch and my left will wear the med. arch and it changed the way  
I was walking and fixed some of the pain I was having... I guess each  
side is a little different.

Hope this helps...
