Dr Scholl's Work Massaging Gel Advanced Insoles, 2 Pairs (Men's 8-14), 2 Count

I have bought these insoles for years and enjoyed them. Recently, they changed two things on them which I am not satisfied with. First they changed the color to black on the front which shows every speck of anything and the cloth seems different which causes more sweating on the feet. The design should have been left as is. Also, underneath near the upper foot area changes were made which does not seem to support as well. For me personally, the changes are negative.

!!!Amazing 10-12 hour shift cure!!!

The insoles on my husband's work shoes wore out and he needed a quick fix for the week. Ordered these and he doesn't want to change them. He works 10-12 hour shifts, standing on his feet the whole time. His feet aren't as tired and they have even helped alleviate some pain from a nagging knee injury. They needed a couple hours to break that "new shoe" stiff feeling, but once worn in, he has noticed a drastic difference in how tired his legs, back, and feet feel. These are amazing!

Changed shoes

Added these on a $100 pair of sneakers. The original insole had gotten damp/wet from rain on trail/waterfall. The original became basically useless. Added these from target, cut to fit with my key tool. 200% better. They make the sneaker fit more snug. You feel more support. They is less play and loose-ness. Not my first time with inserts but haven’t had any for awhile and might need to equip my other shoes with them too.

Much needed %26 appreciated

The shoes these were bought for are a size 10, so I didn’t have to do any trimming - they fit perfectly. They also made those shoes much more comfortable since the shoes in question were constructed without any type of padding/cushioning. In the end, they transformed a super cheap pair of shoes that I dreaded wearing at times into shoes that I’m happy to put on my feet %26 wear all day. The only negative (%26 the reason I held back a star) is that they easily %26 quite regularly fall out of those particular shoes. I believe it’s down to the shoes’ material, not the insoles, but I could be wrong. It’s kinda frustrating that it happens, but it’s a problem that’s easily, though temporarily, resolved. I think I may use my shoe glue on them…maybe…we’ll see…

Thanks! Needed them more than I thought. Wore a pair since last year. I felt instant relief.

The men's version don't do much

Almost overnight my work shoes were killing my feet. I stopped at Walmart and just looked for the most expensive ones I could find. They don't seem to promote the men's on their website but they were definitely in store. They did absolutely nothing to help. I ended up buying new shoes. I have to wear steel toe and I'm on concrete all day. I'll probably try them in some sneakers but if you're expecting some miraculous changes, I don't think it will happen.

They fit most sneakers, no odor.

I have a pair of Nike sneakers that became uncomfortable to wear for prolonged periods of time. I saw these and switched them out. I felt the difference right away. They were easy to replace. Highly recommend. No odor after the first use.

True rating is -4 stars

I don't know what kind of work they are intended for but these insoles would'nt even help someone who sits all day much less someone who actually works on their feet! And I'm not exaderating these really are a joke and Dr Scholls should be ashamed!! The much cheaper gel insoles are far better so don't waste time or money on these or you will be disappointed. Take whatever insole u have out of your shoe and put it on the floor then step on it....thats what these feel like! Terrible!

Waste of money!

I have been using these now for 2 weeks. I had been wearing them with some ankle braces and bunion support half socks, in steeled toed shoes for work what a mistake! My toes hurt so bad before half of a 10 and a half hour shift, (long before). I have blisters on both big toes the tops of several toes burn constantly. I finally decided that the issue was the half socks and the ankle brace making the shoes tighter (although I had walked out of them several times). So today I went without both... Let me tell you I felt every step on that hard concrete, nd every move climbing in and out of tractor trailers... My heels ache, my arches ache, the balls of my feet ache! There is no such thing as cushioning, when does the massaging kick in? Perhaps if I didn't remove the ... MoreI have been using these now for 2 weeks.

There is no such thing as cushioning, when does the massaging kick in? Perhaps if I didn't remove the shoe's original insoles as the instructions say my feet would be better off, they were definitely thicker and cushiony - I should probably put them back in the shoes on top of these useless things. I will give Dr. Scholl's another chance and likely purchase another pair of hyped up insoles. I am curious to see how the insoles supposedly tailored of "obese women" fair although I'm just 5' and weigh around 125.They aren't terribly painful with the ankle braces - of course my feet hurt but my heels had a little extra padding!

Will make your shoes stink

They are reasonably comfortable. You’ll need to cut them to size, be careful not to cut too much off at first. They don’t do as great of a job with cooling as advertised. They are made out of silicone rubber, which picks up odors quite easily. You’ll be surprised at how bad your socks smell after wearing these for a while. They don’t emit an odor outside the shoe, though. Overall worth it if you have inexpensive shoes, but not worth it if you are super sensitive to smells.
