Soft arch relies on shoe sidewall to provide best support
Nearly identical to VALSOLE in the green model that look very similar in every way to these, I find the softer arch found in both brands to best fit a tighter sidewall shoe to best support my arches. These Rooruns feel a bit more cushiony then the Valsole ones I also have. Another notable difference is that the Valsole model had the perforated ball support for ventilation (possibly?) but the Rooruns have a solid ball support.<br /><br />For me, these are preferred over the Valsole because I'm getting transfer from my socks stuck in the arch area of the Valsole; it's building up to the point I can feel it accumulating. I need to clean those up, if possible; I only noticed this yesterday. I haven't had these as long as the Valsole but I'm hoping the transfer doesn't happen with these. It's likely my feet, fit and my stride that cause this transfer accumulation in the Valsole but I thought it worthy of a mention. Maybe these Rooruns are the upgraded version? For the record, only a guess on my part.
