These Supportive Insoles Are About To Upgrade All Your Shoes

If you spend long days on your feet, are a runner, or have just always been prone to sore arches, you know better than anyone the discomfort and distraction that achey feet can be. By the end of a day of errands or night of dancing, your heels and arches are practically begging for a spot to sit. For some, it can even lead to lower back pain.

Or, maybe you just have a love-hate relationship with those extremely stylish shoes that kill your feet. You may have been told you couldn't have it all when it comes to shoes that are just as stylish as they are comfortable, but I'm here to tell you that's not the case anymore. You and your feet can have it all, and it starts with a quality insole. (Though if you do want to prioritize comfort above all else as a nurse or someone who's on their feet all day, you'll definitely want to check out these super comfortable shoes.)

If you don't know much about insoles, they're an easy (and, typically also very affordable) way to ward off discomfort by providing heel and arch support. Made with special materials like foam, gel, cork, or silicone for an extra cushiony feel, they can even provide stability for your ankles and joints—a huge bonus if you're a runner.

There are tons of insole options out there to target specific issues you may have with your feet, from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, wide feet, high arches, and more. And, you can also choose insoles designed for specific activities like running, walking, biking, or even standing.
