Anyone have an insole recommendation that doesn't focus on the heel area, but has a ton of cushion below the front area like below the toes/sesamoid bones? My shit flares up if I skate in anything but 1010's or G6 emericas now.

I messed up my metatarsal about 6 months ago, and the best I've found are insoles from some Timberland boots I had. A lot more padding at the front than Vans Pro/Ultracush, Etnies, Nike SB insoles that I've got. Work boot insoles seem to be a bit thicker than the "sporty" equivalents.

@fernando the skater I’m sorry to hear about your injury. I broke my 5th metatarsal and I know the constant pain/sensitivity it can cause. I’d recommend the Nike SB React insoles if you can find them since they’ve got great cushioning and support. If you’re  interested then your best bet might be getting some Leo Baker signature shoes on sale. Good luck!

I bought some random (timberland( shock absorbing insoles awhile back and in my 1010s they are a game changer. I have used them in some cons too and if I end up getting the 933s I can see myself buying another pair if I can find them.

Bought some Super Feet and some Noene Ergopro AC+.
I like the Super Feet, but i still asked them for advice and they recommended the Noene.
Haven't skated in them yet.

I have tried a ton of insoles over the last 1.5 years, and these seem to work the best for me...

Can confirm, i also use the Run Cushion (medium arch). They feel really good and negate most of my problems.
Still excited to try the Noene.

Move Game Day Pro insoles - excellent product and the shape fits comfortably in various Nike and New Balance # shoes without having to trim them.

Any insoles that are actually wide across the toes? Every one i've tried is 1-2 inches too narrow even before cutting

Game Day Pro have worked well for me. Remind are okay but a little too thick in the toe area to work as replacements for some of my shoes. I like the arch support in the Game Day as that's what I need at this point (47 this year) in my skating life.

Thanks. That's a lot of marketing mumbo right there. Doesn't really nail what's the difference is in general. In a nutshell I'm kinda wondering if one or the other is more "orthopedic" and/or supportive than the other. Just looking for something to reduce impact and not fuck with my arch that much.

Years, if not ages, ago I had some Jaws FP and they worked really well (those with a stupid mouth jumping down stairs).
Now I pulled the trigger with other jaws mumbo jumbo jargon that I can't even remember and that I paid way too much for. Anyways, I'll report once trying them.

I tried some other superfeet insoles with a similar molded cap as the COMFORT and they actually made my feet hurt worse as they seemed very stiff from the midfoot to heel.  If you look carefully at the CUSHION, there are little slits around the heel that let the insole move with your foot while still providing good heel/ankle support.  The cushion also have added padding for the forefoot, much like a Nike SB insole, and I skate dunks only, so the cushions feel great.

Also, any opinions on the FP Kingfoam Elite insoles (the non-orthotic ones)?

I've tried the FP Gamechangers Custom Orthotics and they just feel kinda too, eh, clunky and stiff for me.

Edit: just to clarify, I'm not looking for specific arch support, but rather just good impact protection.

For straight up impact protection, i don't think you can get any better than that. Only skated like three pairs of shoes without them last five years. I'm fucked if they ever go out of business.

Hey thanks pal. Imma go with the Kingfoam Elites for sure. To boot, they're cheaper than many of the other occasionally hyped ones. I'm old and I need quality shit I can trust in.

These ones? Tried them yesterday on some blazers that I could barely walk in and now they could be even skated. So far they seem to be a big upgrade.

That's the "Pro" version, I was referring to the normal Kingfoam Elites.

Don't really know what the difference is, though. The Pros seem to have a thicker heel cup, which is not something I'm not necessarily looking for. Plus they don't have the thin version (3-5mm) which the normal Elite provides.

I use non Pro ones and they work for me. Currently running mids (5mm toe & 7mm heel) with no complaints. Don't really see value on all the fancier models like the gel thing etc. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

.

It might seem trivial but what colour are the ones you guys have?

Is there any difference between the black, the lime green, the blue, etc?

That is not the top graphic colour, but the main colour of the body of the insole itself.  People I skate with have a few of them - I even got a whole lot of them for the shop a few years back and there were the green, black, blue, etc.

Just curious as some people say the different colours perform differently too, but I really don't know about that.



Gone since 1988.  I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

This kind of no-nonsense is what I like to hear. Confirms my thoughts about the Elites. Will try the mids. Thanks man.

I wanna get these for my NB 600s. Anyone might have experiences with them? I am not sure how thick they are and if they will fit in those shoes. I think the standard NB ortholite insole is like 4-5mm thick.

Can't be much worse than the skate-branded insoles. Keep us updated.

Those can be found at a local supermarket for 20 euros, so they're not an expensive experiment.
