Pedag Viva Sport | Orthotic Inserts | Arch Support | Metatarsal Pad | Ideal for Low & High Impact Activities | Soft & Vegan Friendly | Handmade in Germany | 1 Pair | Women US 8/ Men 5/ EU 38

True to fit, comfortable, medium arch support with mets pads. Best part, not bulky inside running or trail running shoes.

I broke my foot a lot of years ago and it caused nerve damage. Most physical activities - running, hiking, skiing,etc., would cause sever pain to my foot. A podiatrist recommended that I get inserts for my metatarsal. I was skeptical, but tried it. I came across the Pedag's on Amazon and tried them. I am now on my 4th pair. They have pretty much completely resolved my pain, and add a good level of cushion, far better than the factory shoe inserts. And I buy high end running shoes from running stores. These are a great product and have literally changed my life. These are German quality and TUV certified. Not a cheap 3rd world knockoff. I can't recommend them enough.

I love these inserts! I started having foot pain during distance horseback riding, snowshoeing and hiking. I purchased my first pair of these years ago and have used them in all my footwear (except sandals) since then. My feet do not hurt when I wear these, if I forget to put them in I know it! I have both the thinner, leather version, good for dress/casual shoes and the thicker, sports version for riding and snow/hiking boots. The thin ones fit in shoes that are my size, I size size up my boots to allow space for the thicker ones.

I have quite a collection of orthotic insoles due to the need for more arch support, metatarsal support, and plantar fasciitis where the standard insoles any shoe comes with is very inadequate. I love the Pedag Viva Sport but I also like Pedag Viva leather, Pedag Viva Winter, the PowerStep Protech Control Pro, and the New Balance Motion Control. The Powerstep is the best choice for people that need a rigid arch but has limited cushioning. The New Balance is by far the best for added cushioning and shock control but is too thick for many shoes but are in all my sneakers. The Pedag Viva leather is super thin so can fit in shoes where others wont work but still provides quality semi rigid support. The Pedag Viva winter is ideal for insulated boots, skates, ski boots, winter cycling, or to add warmth to any shoe as it is also very thin but little cushioning. The Pedag Viva Sport is really in the middle of these features where it is fairly thin, provides decent cushioning, and adequate arch and metatarsal support. They also are very comfortable where you don't notice them over the OEM insoles other than the additional support.. Note that these work for many more situations than just sports as they are superb for casual wear and even dress shoes if they fit in. I also like Superfeet for edge control in ski boots but their metatarsal support does not work for me for long term use and they have almost no cushioning to aid walking or hiking. Also, for bicycling, the Specialized insoles are also excellent and can be used for other applications plus you can get them in 3 levels of arch support. Oh, and the Viva insoles cost much less than other quality insoles so are extreme values and tghey wear well too. Being winter presently, I mostly use my Goretex sneakers and boots right now with the Viva WInter insoles in them. My feet never get cold and I don't over sweat either.

I bought these to fit in my travel shoes. I like them so much, I have another pair to wear in my running shoes. My current travel shoes are Merrell "Dassie Buckle" - Black. The insoles in those shoes are not very good & would not provide enough arch, cushion & heel support for long days (I average 13 miles per day when I am travelling). I have a small bunion on one foot so I like the extra width in this shoe. I ordered the size 8M (38.5 EU) shoe & the 38 in this Pedag. The 38 Pedag insole was too small but it fits perfectly in my running shoe. I ordered the 39 Pedag & it fits in this Merrell. This was the perfect combination shoe for all day sightseeing. These insoles have plenty of arch support & cushion. I need extra cushion in my forefoot & these work really well. They keep my foot at the proper alignment in my shoe so my legs & feet feel good all day! And they are washable. I just throw them in the wash & hang dry. Pull the insole out of your shoe at the end of the day so they can dry out. Feet sweat more than you think. Merrell Women's Dassie Buckle Slip-On Shoe,Black,10 M US I ordered Size 8M.

I love this brand. I have bought a ton of different orthotic insoles over the years from virtually every major brand, but I always end up going back to Pedag. The only reason I ever have to replace them is because I have a habit of losing them. (They're probably all in my closet some where). Lately I've been buying Walk-Pro because they're cheaper and work well, for awhile anyway. But eventually they lose their support. But it seems like Pedag products keep their shape far longer. I also really like how thin they are in the toes. I am wearing these full size "sport" insoles in my cross-trainers. I wear 3/4 Pedag Viva Minis in my dress and casual shoes. (I highly recommend the 3/4 minis.) Obviously the Pedags are more expensive, but from now on I think they're all I'm going to buy in the future. I'll just have to try harder not to lose them.

The best insoles

High quality product. The only issue I had is that if I buy my shoe size, the insert is not long enough to cover the length of the sole. I tried these in Brooks Glycerin and New Balance 990 with same issue. So then if you buy the next size up, the metatarsal pad is not placed exactly where it should be (at least on my feet which I assume depends on the individual) so support is not optimal. Too bad - I like these more than other brands but this is a real issue to check on in buying them.

Not rigid at all, but in all fairness I needed to get custom made orthotics with toe extensions. They did not work for me but that’s not to say they are bad in anyway.

Vielleicht kennt manch einer das Gefühl nach einer langen Wanderung: Die Fußsohlen brennen und eigentlich möchte man keinen Schritt mehr gehen. Für eine geplante mehrtägige Tour in den Bergen wollte ich das verhindern und habe mir diese Einlegesohlen bestellt. Anfangs war ich etwas skeptisch wegen der doch sehr starken Dämpfung. Es fühlte sich sehr ungewohnt an, das legte sich aber bereits in den ersten Stunden. Jetzt nach der Tour kann ich jedem diese Sohlen empfehlen. Sie waren absolut "unauffällig", was gut ist. Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass am Abend die Füsse und Fußsohlen nicht gebrannt haben oder schmerzten, natürlich spürte man die Belastung durch die Auf und Abstiege, aber die Füsse waren fit. + gute Schweißableitung (bei teilweise über 30Grad in dunklen Lederschuhen) + unauffälliges Traggefühl (keine zu starke oder schwache Dämpfung, Abends waren die Füsse noch in einem sehr guten Zustand) + gute Paßform und Sitz im Schuh ( rutschend auf Geröll, Auf und Abstiege) + Haltbarkeit (bis jetzt keine "Auflösungserscheinungen" feststellbar) + relativ leicht Fazit: Beinahe hätte ich sie wieder zurück geschickt wegen der ungewohnten Dämpfung nach dem ersten Test. Jetzt würde ich sie nicht mehr hergeben. Wirklich eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für jeden der seine guten Schuhe noch besser machen möchte

Very effective and comfortable. Took a few runs to get used to the support in the insole, particularly the metatarsal pad, but once run-in, they feel absolutely great. Loads of support along the heel and cushioning with no PF pain at all. Will buy again.

Las plantillas cumplen muy bien con lo que ofrecen, sólo debes tomar en cuenta que el calzado en el que las coloques, deberá ser un poco mayor al que sueles usar sin agregar plantillas, esto sobre todo en lo que corresponde al volumen del pie, no tanto a lo largo, porque tu pie subirá un poco de altura en general, entonces si es ajustado el calzado ( cómo suele ser el de las mujeres ) podrías sentir tus pies como si trajeras “camisa de fuerza”, por este aspecto debes considerar calzado adecuado, en huaraches no me acomodaron porque se van recorriendo las plantillas, pero quedaron perfectas en otros zapatos cerrados y un poco holgados. Antes de comprarlas puedes revisar en el apartado “especificaciones” cuánto miden en centímetros para cerciorarte que la talla es correcta en tu país. Mis pies tardaron pocos minutos en adaptarse a su forma, al principio sentí “un bulto agregado” pero rápidamente se fue el dolor que padezco en el metatarso y también esa sensación de “bulto” que percibía al principio. Tomando todo esto en cuenta las puedes estar mudando de calzado, yo compraré otras de esta misma marca pero ahora de piel para otros zapatos, pero estas las recomiendo mucho.
