I rate these as Okay. I've tried them in about 3 different pairs of boots. Some they help, some they make worse. They are not &#34;squishy&#34; or give that gel feeling AT ALL. They are actually pretty stiff, and do provide some support. I wouldn't necessarily recommend or not recommend them, feet comfort is one of those things you just have to try different things and footwear until you find what's best for you.
