save your sole

It’s pretty generally true that everyone could benefit from custom-molded insoles in at least one pair of shoes. Maybe it’s your hiking boots, maybe it’s your party shoes, maybe it’s those stylish-but-uncomfortable shoes you wear to work. Well, now you may be able to have those insoles without having to pay several hundred dollars for an orthotic.
A company called (appropriately) SOLE, offers heat-moldable insoles for only $40-50 a pop (and if you buy multiple pairs, you can get a discount on top of those prices). This is genius, as far as I’m concerned. We all know that, much as we might like to, it’s not practical to buy shoes that offer you full support 100% of the time. But now, you can slip in these smart little helpers and add that support into any shoe that will fit the insole.
Just heat them up in an oven for a few minutes, then slip them into your shoes and slip your feet into the shoes on top of them. They’ll mold right to your foot. And there are different types of insoles for different activities and different types of shoes. There’s even a great Sole Selector to help you figure out which sole is best for your type of shoe and desired activity. The site has plenty of information about what the different soles can offer in terms of support.
Go check them out. Your search for customized support may be at an end.

Yeah, I think I'll snag a pair to try out for those shoes where my orthotics (which are unfortunately full-sole and fairly deep) don't fit.

Pure genius! Are you going to buy some? I probably will!
The only thing about insoles is that they only work with closed shoes. They don't work with sandals, unfortunately, and that's where I tend to run into trouble.
