I took a star away because they do not have a removable insole. In fact some have said they do not have an insole at all, which is about true. There`s a thin black layer firmly glued in that you could call an insole, but it`s of little if any use. I did not try to remove it. The good news is that I picked up some excellent third party insoles at Walmart, and there was plenty of room for them. Once installed these shoes are great for me in every respect. The brand of the insoles I picked up is &#34;ProSole&#34; and they cost $8 plus tax.   These are the first Adidas shoes I`ve owned in a few years, so I took a guess on the sizing and guessed right. I`d say these run about a half a size small while for me New Balance are a full size small. So if you have a pair of New Balance you are happy with a half size smaller in these may be just right. No matter Amazon`s free returns policy on these makes it easy to trade them out and at no expense.
