[@qazmko22]

4:38 Adidas and Hoka insoles (golf ball test) 5:17 how to fit a new insole for your shoe. 5:38 Noene Universal No.2 Insoles (Shock Absorbing, but less efficient) 7:03 Sidas Impact reducer Insoles (Less Shock Absorbing, more energy return) 7:59 Ultimate Performance Gel Insoles (Not very Shock Absorbing, better for walking) 9:14 Sidas Max Protect Activ Slim Insoles (slight arch support, less Shock Absorbing, propelling fore foot foam) 10:05 Enertor Running Insoles (slight arch support, metatarsal button, Shock Absorbing, takes some time get used to, good for less cushioned running shoes) 11:19 Sidas Run 3Feet Sense Mid Insoles (comes in different arch heights, has better support, less Shock Absorbing, propelling fore foot foam, good for well cushioned running shoes) 12:38 Superfeet Comfort Thin Run Insoles (Very supportive, Low Shock Absorbing, Carbon fiber helps propel forward, might be harder in the legs)

I have both the Superfeet “Orange High Impact” and the Superfeet “Green High Arch Support” for my two pairs of Nike’s and are a match made in heaven for my feet. 🙂

[@wildgingerruns]

Awesome!

[@wildgingerruns]

Thanks Tim! Just watched this again, it's a really great, thorough review.

[@trailsandbeers]

I never had a problem with standard insoles that come with the shoe, as long as the shoe fits.

[@wildgingerruns]

Good for you!

[@brianswift3240]

Great video 👌 I need structural support for flat feet and shock absorption for long hikes so what would you personally recommend?

[@wildgingerruns]

One of these for sure!

[@jimmy7494]

Is it just me but enertor didn’t seem to stop the bounce as much as I expected as they do the egg test in their ads, is the shock absorption good? Are they Comfortable or on the firmer side? Thanks

[@wildgingerruns]

Hopefully @timpigott will pick this one up for you jimmy!

[@Unaidedfoot]

Great video, thanks.🇨🇦

[@wildgingerruns]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I can’t ware any running shoes without finding they are uncomfortable in my arch only in my left foot. Running results in some soreness in that ankle. I would like to find a cheeper option but have no clue why I struggle with all shoes in my left foot.

[@wildgingerruns]

Hmm, maybe you need to change the insole Pierre, I find this arch rub in some shoes too so I take an insole from another shoe and swap them over. Try this first and see what happens :) You don't need to buy one just nick it from another shoe :)

[@pierrejalon8294]

Tried swapping my Saucony Axon 2 insole with my new balance 1080v12 Insole but the v12 were still uncomfortable. It’s the inner arch of my left foot (and only my left foot) I tried on 30-40 pairs of shoes at the shoe shop and only the sauconys worked for me but only because they make me run on a different part of my foot and even they are a little uncomfortable. Sorry for ranting.

[@Carl_Donaldson]

Desperately looking for a in sole for some inov8 shoes that dont have much cushioning and are also rather baggy in terms of volume. So something light that would lift my foot a tad to remove some upper volume. Opinions?

[@wildgingerruns]

These are really good amzn.to/3AYRqtH Hope that helps!

[@arnoldd7073]

The inov8 boomerang insole is great

[@SuperAmazingAnt]

Have tryed running on the track with diffrent insoles, does the shock absorbers decrease the time

[@wildgingerruns]

Yes!

[@soupyruns9709]

Tim, I’ve been using Enertor running insoles for quite sometime when I started getting shin splints, which have since gone away, recently I’ve been getting what I’ve been told is Post Tib tendinitis on my right ankle, I’ve been doing rehab and exercises for this for around 4 months and the only thing that seems to help is K-taping my arch and inner leg half way up my calf, do you think a high arch shoe or insole would help?

[@wildgingerruns]

Hey Soupy, you can contact Tim via his website here: www.hp-3.co.uk/

[@soupyruns9709]

@@wildgingerruns thank you.

[@blizz624]

I have medical custom made insoles for my flat feet. However, they are fair to large for my cleats and the size had cause me to twist my ankle when playing sports in them. Recently I have been struggling with shin splints. I have plenty of exercise and stretches that I've been doing and they have gotten much better. However, I recently thought of the idea of purchasing some smaller store bought insoles to play sport in. Do you think it is worth purchasing some?

[@wildgingerruns]

I would contact Tim at HP3 coaching for his advice :)

[@johnnale8903]

quality video, man

[@wildgingerruns]

Thanks JN

[@uuiguyfye7gg]

[@wildgingerruns]

Not sure, follow Tim on insta and send him a message :)

[@tb-3038]

I have IT band syndrome , which ones are best for me , thanks in advance.

[@wildgingerruns]

THanks for your Q, hopefully @timpigott will answer this one :)

[@rehdwolfe]

Nice content. Recommend chapters in the video

[@wildgingerruns]

Thank you, great suggestion! Love it! Would you mind time-stamping the chapters for me in a comment? I'll pin your comment to the top and pop a thanks to you in the film description. Thank you! Claire

[@Huxley555]

No such thing as best insoles, only what's best for you as all feet are unique to us. I use sola orthotic insoles, as they mold to your feet over time.

[@wildgingerruns]

Exactly

[@alanhoran5967]

Which would be best insoles to help with Plantar Fasciltis

[@wildgingerruns]

I'm sure Tim can help with that :)

[@timpigottHP3]

Hi Alan, sorry- didn’t know this vid had been posted! If it’s definitely PF then you need to be strengthening the foot- these exercises have been shown to improve the PF kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXOxc5R3rJx_bac but for symptomatic relief while you are strengthening the foot I’d be looking at the enertor insoles.
