Good value
UPDATE:<br />I found these made my shoes MUCH too tight as the insoles that came in the shoes couldn't be removed.  I have put them in my rubber boots, having been able to remove those insoles, which was about the same thickness as these at the front end, and they are really comfortable.  I think I'll be using the half insoles in future as they seem to suit my shoes better.<br />ORIGINAL REVIEW:<br />I use orthotic insoles in all my shoes, even my slippers, to alleviate some of the pain of arthritis in my foot joints.  I have several half-insole Rooruns and have worn out several Walk-fits.  So, when I saw these in my "Recommended for you" list as an Amazon Vine Reviewer, I thought they are worth trying.  As a Vine Reviewer, I was able to order these at no cost to me, in exchange for an objective and detailed review.<br />Here it is...<br />The construction is typical of Rooruns, with various layers of material to provide comfort and support.  I do wish they were stiffer or were flat on the bottom, as they tend to bend under foot, losing some of the free shape, especially if the shoe has no arch support profile.  That said, they do provide noticeable support in flat shoes.  Also, the Rooruns I have do not lose their shape with repeated use and are very durable.  The half-insole one in the photo has been in my shoes for some time now, with little sign of wear.  My slippers' insoles have the most wear and that's a fading of the fabric color, the upper fabric layer has worn down under the heel (but not peeled, just worn) and the heel cushion/pad is starting to come loose.  However, the slippers have the most hours on them, several hours a day over several months with the typical lack of support to stop the foot sliding around.  I expect these full insoles to perform just as well.  That is one key feature which draws me to Roorun insoles - durability.<br />The arch profile is definitely higher than my other Rooruns and I have high arches, so that felt good under my feet.<br />I ordered the XL for my size 13 feet.  On the floor, the insoles seemed much longer than my feet and I was thinking I would need to cut the front ends down.  There are molded-in lines underneath to suggest where and how to cut.  However, when I tried to put them in my loafers, I found that forcing them over the top of the heel, down into the actually-longer sole area of the shoe, they fit my size 13 shoes perfectly.  They do reduce volume inside the shoe, especially in the heel area.  I measured them at approx. 3/8" thick at the heel, but that's the same as my half-insoles.  The extra material under the toes, which I'm not used to, did make my shoes feel a little tighter at the front and top.<br />Interestingly, the round heel cushion/pad under the insole has a plastic film over it.  Remove the film and the pad is very sticky.  Presumably to retain its position in the shoe.  Now why would you need that on the full insole when it's trapped front and rear in position, yet the half-insoles do not have it, and actually would stay put better with it?!<br /> The half-insoles often slip forward when I put shoes or boots on.<br />ROORUN: PLEASE NOTE:  I wish that sticky pad feature was on the half-insoles!<br />The price is competitive and only $6 or so more than the half insoles.  I still think I prefer the half insoles, but the higher arch might be better for me.  We will see.<br />I haven't had a chance to wear these for an extended time.  I will get that chance this coming weekend on a trip. I'll update the review after I get more miles with these insoles.<br />I hope my review has been helpful.
