I was thinking about getting some of these insoles for my inline skates.......

The reviews I have read sound pretty good, has anyone here tried them?
Sounds like they would be ideal for hiking boots as well :cool:
Thanks,

I use them in my combat boots and they are incredibly awesome. You do need to take out the original insole if the shoe has one, as some of the SuperFeet are very thick.
The greens and an additional arch support, as I have stupidly high arches.

Thanks Matt,
Great tips, I think I am going to try the orange ones.....they seem kind of expensive...but I have never really purchased insoles before....
The stock ones in my hiking boots are pretty nice.....The ones in my skates kind of suck though.... and my feet get a bit sore after 5 miles or so of skating....and I think the lack of proper support causes some pronation too when I skate :(

They're obscenely expensive, but they seem to last a pretty long time and are some of the best I've used. Even the kinda gimmicky anti-bacterial coating thing seems to work very well, keeping them less funky.
The oranges have a padded forefoot, the greens have a higher arch, the blues are for extremely low arches, and the yellows seem to be somewhere in between the oranges and blues perhaps. The black ones with a forefoot are for dress shoes, and the black ones without are for woman's high heels.
After finding out what slowly falling arches were causing my back and leg joint pain (knees, hips, ankles, etc), I obsessively researched foot support for a while.

Thanks Matt!
I really appreciate the information. I think I am going to pull the trigger and get the orange insoles to start. Sounds like they will be great :D
I like the anti -bacterial coating idea as well, less funk is always good :)
