Timberland PROMen's Anti-Fatigue Technology Replacement Insole

Shoes, like anything that’s supposed to fit the general public, almost never fit right. I take a lot of time finding footwear that fits my feet and I stick with them because they feel good. A HUGE part of that choice is insole.A little background, I’m a big guy(6’ 300lb). I work in an aerospace machining shop and on the hobby farm at home. I’m standing most of the day and need to feel comfortable so I’m not focusing on what hurts in stead of what I’m doing. I can not stand insoles that are bumpy or feel like my feet are sloshing around in my boots. I need support and comfort. These insoles give that. I wear steel toe Timberland boots. They fit my feet well. These insoles slipped into those boots keep my feet secure and comfortable. I typically go through a set of insoles every six months, but I’m in these boots 14 hours a day.After years of cheap boots, I stepped up and invested in my feet. I wish I had done it years ago. Don’t put it off till you’re in your 40s. Treat your feet well and they will pay you back for the rest of your life. My back doesn’t hurt like it used to. My knees feel better. These insoles work for me. Try them. See if they work for you.I have gone through 5 sets of these insoles in the 3 years I have had these boots. That’s the one downside I see. They wear out. As stated earlier, they last me about 6 months of use. The material on top wears out then the hex pillars below break through, leaving a foam pebble in your boot. That’s when I replace them. Until that happens, they’re comfortable and supportive. I’ve got to the point where I have an extra set waiting in the barn so when the ones I’m currently using are done, I go out and change them out. I won’t ever be stuck with uncomfortable insoles again.

So this is the first time I'm writing a review and I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of items from Amazon. I have to say THESE INSOLES ARE FANTASTIC!!! Having larger than average feet is a constant pain. You cant just walk into any shoe store or Walmart and grab some insoles over size 13. Since I wear size 15 work boots I know how hard and time consuming it is to find decent, comfortable footwear. For the most part, we're restricted to the internet and it's a gamble at all times to get it right the first time ( especially if you need something quick ). I'm 6'6" 295lbs and as you can see from the pics, I've torn through the stock insoles in a yr. I love these boots and honestly didnt want to have to look for a new pair when it's really just the insoles that needed to be replaced. The degradation of the stickers made walking around the warehouse intolerable. So, I searched online for some relief.After a quick search and not wanting to waste my time with super cheap insoles that will provide little to no support, I found these. Knowing that the timberland pro line of boots were pretty durable, I took a chance hoping not only would they actually be my size ( again I wear 15s and the chart says 14/15 ) but they would be actually comfortable. I AM SUPER PLEASED !First off just taking them out the box, I could tell they were already going to be bigger than I needed. I realized though, that was the point. While these can honestly fit a size 16 shoe, they're made to be trimmed down to your specific comfort inside the boot. KEY NOTE !!! use your stock insoles as a slight template and use regular scissors to cut around the edging. DO NOT TRY TO LOB OFF A WHOLE BUNCH AT A TIME ! I almost screwed myself with the first cut of the right foot doing that. Luckily it turned out to need just a few more minor trims at the edges to get it perfect. The left foot took longer with the repeated test fits back in the boot but it's worth the time so you dont cut off too much. In all, it took about 3-5 mins of cutting, test fitting back in the boots and walking around to do both insoles.I do suffer from plantar fasciitis so my boots already had pretty good arch support but, these aren't a drop down from the stockers. In fact I honestly feel these are an upgrade in every sort of level. Its soft yet sturdy. It's not bouncy and it doesn't feel like you're just walking on the bottom of the inside of the boot. You feel like you can walk for hours and wouldn't feel the least bit of foot pain. Your legs will get tired of walking before the bottom of your feet will. I walk 25k-30k steps at minimum everyday just at work so, I really wanted to make sure they felt good.So, I hope I've explained it well enough to give some other shopper in need like I was some faith in these. The price is perfect, I got it with 2 day prime shipping and the product quality is great. Thanks for reading my first review !

It's pretty clear once you start using these that they are better than most of the insoles that are going to come in your boots or shoes. They are sufficiently “squishy” without feeling too soft or lacking in support.As far as recommendations go, sizing is probably the most important factor. These are sized using the XS through XXL method which leaves a lot of ambiguity when trying to find the right size for your shoes. The instructions advise removing your existing insoles and using them as a template to cut the new insoles to the appropriate size. Unfortunately, insole sizing can differ pretty significantly even when comparing the same size shoe. To help those who are considering purchasing these I ordered and measured two common sizes for men: Medium and Large (which correspond to 8-11 shoe sizes for men, 9-12 for women).The "Medium" size are about 11.5 (293mm) inches in total length and 4.25(109mm) inches at their widest point.The "Large" size are about 12.25 (310mm) inches in total length and 4.5 (115mm) inches at their widest point.Before you buy, take out your existing insoles and measure them at their longest and widest point. Then buy the size that's LARGER than what you have already so you can trim them down to the correct size.I haven't had them long enough to test durability but again, they seem like they'd last longer than whatever came with your shoes/boots anyway.
