I bought some sneakers recently and was wondering what recommendations you guys had for insoles. They don't necessarily have to be for skating. Just in general, what's the best insole for comfort?
-
I like ortholite for shoes with a midsole and Footprint elites for shoes without a midsole.

fp gamechangers are perfect if they fit. what sneakers?

Dr. scholl's Work Insoles are not bad.
I've been recycling OG Nike SB insoles (Angus, E-Cue, Dunk, etc.) for skating.
I liked Footfix insoles for hiking boots (they used to be the In-house brand for EMS before they stocked nothing but that Superfeet bullshit). They might be dead.

do you have a store in your town dedicated to running? I don't mean the running shoe section of DICKS, I mean a specialty type shop. Pop in and talk to someone there, chances are they'll have you take your shoes off and walk around in your socks so they can see if you have any issues with pronation etc...I bet they could get you into a nice insole

3 different thicknesses. I use them for all my shoes now. Improves posture and helps with lower back pain. Word.

Non-Skate:
Dr. Scholls runner
Skate:
FP Game changers

Not sure about non skate ones but I got a pair of FP king foams and they're pretty damn comfy after you get used to them. Might just have to shell out the extra cash for some game changers soon after the king foams are done.

Bump this thread for a bit. What’s a footprint insole fore arch’s and big feet?

I don't think foot size has anything to do with it. I have low arches and hate shoes with a high arch. Footprint kf are good for me because they are flat. If you like high arch a kf might not help but game changers might.

These are expensive but I love them and they def help my foot pain throughout the day and I use them in most of my skate shoes on top of the normal insole.
I can also give you tips on how to get them for free from a major chain retailer called Walma

take a razor blade and wire cutters and clip the packaging open and ditch the outer plastic box and pocket the insoles.
Make sure no cameras around.

Stacking insoles seems like a recipe for instability and ankle rolls, I wouldn't do it. Anyway I like the arch support of FP gamechangers, they really seem to help take the stress of skating/standing long periods of time off the heel and forefoot.

Gamechangers. You can get them for like $30 and reuse them over many pairs of shoes. By the time you try and find a workaround with non-skate insoles (spoiler: you won't) you'll have ended up spending way more money anyway.

OP isn’t looking for then for skating exactly.
They wot me with some shoes but not all. Some shoes sit too high and feel like I could toll my ankle.
I love game changers but these dr scholls last me significantly longer.
I grind my big toe a lot and I’ll put a hole in the game changers in 3 months and it becomes too uncomfortable having that hole.

The mediums work well with thin cupsoles, they lock your foot in nicely too.

Not saying you are wrong, but I have a high arch and found the opposite to be true. After hating the gamechangers because they hurt my arch, I checked out the FP literature and they said for high arches you want a flat insole and with low arch you want arch support. Makes no sense, but it worked out for me cause I love the elites.

Makes perfect sense when you think about your foot being a shock absorber - the higher the arch, the more shock is absorbed in the arch, and less on the foot. The lower your arch, less shock is absorbed by the arch and therefore is transferred into the foot/leg/joints and therefore would need more support.
