Three Simple Steps For A Perfect Fit

SOLE Compared to Custom Orthotics Testimonials
So yesterday, I went out to play, walking, 18 holes of golf. I wore my best golf shoes with the $275 prescription orthotics obtained through our podiatrist. By the 14th hole, the beginnings of my frequent plantar fasciitis pain began, and by the end of the round -- and for the rest of the day, I was quite uncomfortable. So today, I went back out for another round. I wore my back-up shoes with my Sole Slim Sport footbeds. From the first hole they felt much more comfortable. And the comfort lasted the entire round. This is a repeat experience, and I guess I just have to abandon the prescription orthotics. They just don't do the job as well as the Soles. Thanks for a great product!

I bought my first pair of Sole insoles to wear inside my new workboots for heavy, recreational gardening. I saw them in a store the day I bought my new boots, and I bought them because they were stiff enough to provide support but not so bulky that they changed the way my boots fit. The fit in the arch supports my heel and has resulted in my planter fasciitis improving to the point it has virtually disappeared and I have no more pain when I get up in the morning. Initially, I thought that the price was high, but compared to custom orthotics, the price was very reasonable and once I wore them for a full day the first time with no 'breaking in' time needed, I realized they are worth much, much more. I bought another pair to put inside the shoes I will be wearing to work as school starts up in September and will necessitate me being on my feet most of the day. I have a pair in my golf shoes, and will move them to my curling shoes when that season starts up! Thank you very much for making a difference in the way I walk and work!

I am extremely pleased with my SOLE Custom Footbeds. I have pronated feet and had used custom-made orthotics in the past, but they were expensive and somewhat uncomfortable. I lost them a few years back and couldn't really justify the cost of buying new ones. I was looking online for an inexpensive alternative when I stumbled onto your product. Although I was a bit skeptical, the money-back guarantee gave me the confidence to order. I'm sure glad I did. I think they are more comfortable and just as effective as the $300 orthotics my doctor had made for me. My feet and knees are feeling much better. I have been able to jog almost pain-free for the first time in years. Even long shopping excursions with my wife are less fatiguing. Thanks for creating a great product at a great price. I can even afford to buy a separate set for different pairs of shoes.

After one year of wearing SOLE, I tossed many hundreds of dollars worth of custom orthotics, and am much more comfortable. Thank you.
Jane Rieth, Satisfied Customer
Was about to buy new custom orthotics (at $300.00). Yours are perfect. Thanks!
Mr. Alan Bailey, Satisfied Customer
Second pair loved the first. I also have a pair of prescription orthos that I almost never use. Yours are better by far.
Alan Levine, Satisfied Customer
Works excellent. The best insert I have had, and I have had $300 custom made footbeds.
Tony Watson, Satisfied Customer
I bought my first pair of soles about a month ago after seeing a display in Village CycleSports. (They didn't have my size or I would have purchased them on the spot.) I began using them the day I received them. My feet haven't felt this good in ages! The first pair replaced my $350 custom orthotics in my dress shoes; but this pair is going into my running shoes. Thanks for a great product!
Jack Gallaway, Satisfied Customer
It's the most comfortable orthotic I've tried, more comfortable than my $700 custom orthotic since it extends the full length of the insole. At the price, I can afford to buy several instead of just having the one expensive orthotic.
Robert Dow, Satisfied Customer
Hi SOLE folks, I purchased a pair of your orthotics from the Runners Supply in Akron, Ohio May. 2002. I have been wearing prescription orthotics since 1970 at a cost of $200.00 per pair. I gave yours a shot and you got me; Great price, great product.

I have used many off-the-shelf arch supports over the past ten years as an Orthotist for residents of Kansas. These people are soldiers and I see a variety of foot types. I average about 90 patients per week with approximately 70% having foot related problems. Most of these problems are associated with hyper-mobile joints of the foot causing a flattened arch. With most shoes or boots this flattened arch position is present due to inadequate insoles that are not conformed to every persons feet. Some of the problems are plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, shin splints, knee pain and sometimes hip and low back pain.
SOLE has come up with a great product that can be worn out of the box or heat molded to fit a persons feet. These orthotics have proven to provide the contour that people need in their shoes and I often get requests for more than one pair. SOLE Custom Footbeds are a cost effective way to reduce the hyper-mobility of the feet comfortably without adjustments.

I am on my way to becoming a huge advocate of your product. I've been wearing custom orthotics from a doctor since I was 16(34 now) to correct pretty severe overpronation. The orthotics were pretty much a miracle cure for the last 18 years. I'm a regular, though not fanatic, runner and cyclist. Among other tings, my old orthotics got me through 4 years in the Marine Corps, One marathon, and a lot of training. I stick to the if it ain't broke, don't fix it" principle, and never considered changing anything until I started having some chronic tendenitis(I think) in my ankle a few months ago. It was really going out on a limb for me to try your product after all those years of success with my old orthotics. I am pleased to say that they are an absolute success so far. I've been running or cycling in them on a daily basis. no shin splints, the tentonitis has gone away, and I really do think they are an improvement over the custom orthotics. Anyway, I think you have a great product and that opinion becomes stronger with every passing mile!
Michael, Satisfied Customer
Believe me, I've been doing nothing but spreading the word. I have a set of prescribed orthotics that I no longer use thanks to your insoles. The prescribed orthotics are too tall, too cushiony (shin splints as a result), and they have no padding to speak of after 1 monty of use. I use the ultras in my running shoes, (no more shin splints), and the regulars in my combat boots. Thanks for the great product, I'll be a regular purchaser.
Casey, Satisfied Customer
I have had all kinds of insoles. These are the very best, including prescription ones which cost a whole lot more, and are uncomfortable. I am planning a trip to Peru & Ecuador in September and will have SOLE in my hiking boots!
Phyllis Cavanaugh, Satisfied Customer
The footbeds are awsome! I have flat feet and have paid up to $400 for custom orthodics and I can hardly tell the difference between them and my SOLE footbeds. You guys have good customer service, very personal. Yes, I'd recommend this company to anyone.
Brian, Satisfied Customer
I bought my first pair of SOLE orthodics more than 5 years ago and I am still using them. They outlasted nine pairs of workboots. They are by far the most comfortable and most durable pair of footbeds I have owned by far, including a prescription pair that cost hundreds of $$$.
