With these insoles, its all about finding the right shoe to accommodate them. If you try and stuff insoles that are 20mm thick in a shoe that was built for an insole 5mm thick, your foot will be dangerously high off the ground, be more prone to ankle rolls, and the shoe might not fit anymore.
what shoe brands/models do you think they are good for? I've been using them in Emerica vulcs.
If you use the thinner footprint kingfoams 5-10mm, those will fit pretty much any shoe fine, and I use those in my low tops, like the reynolds vulc or the figgys. However, some shoes like the project ba have very thin insoles and shouldn't be replaced imo.
I think the lunarlon insoles that come in the Koston 1/2 and the Cons CTS most closely mirror the size of my footprint gamechangers and orthotics. I recently got the Hsu g6 though, and the bigger insoles seem to fit just fine in those (probably because they're mids), but when I tried them in my Reynolds mid, it made my foot sit way too high.
When I use aftermarket insoles, I measure the height of the insole I am replacing to make sure they're similar, then after fitting them in the shoe, try to roll my ankles to see how easy it is (it shouldn't roll, your foot should feel stable and not shift around inside the shoe).
