Yesterday, I posted this photo of me wearing my new workout shoes and I hinted around about how really, really, REALLY comfy my new shoes are.
I needed new workout shoes for my new, healthy lifestyle I told you about yesterday. I'm not sure how many pairs of shoes I tried---30 maybe?
I tried Reebok and New Balance and oh. my. gosh. I can't even remember how many different brands and styles.
I finally settled on these Nike shoes.
I traded the bright seafoam strings for black strings.
To be perfectly honest, I didn't love these shoes. They were the most comfy shoes I tried that day, but there was something missing.
Support.
I have a pretty flat foot and a history of plantar fasciitis. I need arch support. I rolled with it, though, and began my treadmill work with the shoes as/is.
Jump ahead a couple of weeks. (No pun intended.) I received an invitation to a running event being held in a nearby city. It was a chance to run with Jonathon Prince, famed lifestyle runner, philanthropist and OrthoLite brand ambassador. Cool!
Well, it didn't work out for me to attend the event and I didn't get to meet Jonathon Prince. And I'm new enough to the treadmill that I would probably have passed out in an attempt to actually run during the event. However, the representatives of OrthoLite decided to bless me with a set of performance insoles for review. Just a few days later, the package came via FedEx.
As much as I hated to pull out the original Nike insoles, I just went with it. The OrthoLite insoles were a perfect fit, no trimming or fussing at all.
Perfection.
You could never, not ever, believe the difference these whisper thin insoles have made in the comfort rating of my new shoes. Truly. I didn't believe it when I opened the box. They are so thin, I thought there would be no way I could tell a difference.
Wrong.
The amount of arch support is really surprising. My foot feels supported from heel to toe in soft (but not too soft) cushiony comfort. I'll be putting these insoles to the test for many more treadmill workouts to come.

I give OrthoLite Performance Insoles two thumbs up. I'd give them more if I had more thumbs.

Oh my gosh! I used to wear prescription supports and miss them so much. I have a weird extra bone in my foot that pulls my arch flat.
ReplyDeleteBut be prepared because I am sending Madi over to enter too! Her instep is so high she can slide a remote control under them.
This is great. My daughter really could use them.
ReplyDeleteAh man. The remote is missing again.
I could so use these!!! Great giveaway, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI need these so badly! I hope I did the rafflecopter right???
ReplyDeleteI think I did the entry right. I get confused easily with these things. LOL!! I would LOVE to win these for my mom. At 50+ years old she has to carry mail for the USPS several days per week and it is an all day thing. I know how much her feet can hurt. These would be wonderful if they can help her!
