Buy Birkenstock BirkoSport Arch Support Insoles

Customer Ratings:

OK, listen up. If you have Superfeet in all of your shoes like I do you may feel like you have the best and that's that no need to look further. I would say to you sir/ma'am, no, you haven't tried them all. Try these. If you've ever put on Birkenstock sandals and said, jeez these feel nice, but couldn't make yourself wear them in public to save your life, then consider sneaking these in your shoes for the same feeling without the humiliation. You will thank me.

If you are an ardent Birkenstock fan such as myself, you will be very happy with these inserts. They put into your shoe a support system similar to that found in a Birkenstock sandal. Yes, they are hard supports. Why? Because they are for people with fallen arches, pronation, and flat feet. Walking on flat feet is very tiring. Flat feet also cause your knee to roll inwards which also is very bad. You must get the arch up in order for the foot to roll along the ground properly. Soft rubber or foam just does not do the trick. The arch that is fallen will flatten the soft foam. As with the Birkenstock Sandal, this support is a serious arch support. For those who think the support is too hard, consider the following: The idea is to learn to walk properly, on the side of the foot away from the arch. If your arch hurts from the arch support being too hard, reconsider your criticism of the arch support. Rather, try very hard to force yourself to walk properly, so that your arch does not impinge upon the arch support in as hard a manner. The fact is that Birkenstocks are a proven system, used by many, many people such as myself. The Birkenstock not only relieves the harm of fallen arches, but also teaches you to walk properly.

My arch fell in one of my feet and started to fall in the other about 5 months ago which stopped me from running (and walking some days) for a while. I tried power step pros, heck, I was going to name them all off. I'm not going to do that. I tried every insert I could find locally, even the ones by advice of my doctor and nothing helped. I finally threw out all of me old "standard" running shoes and bought new "stability" shoes. The combination of the stability shoes (which I will never stop wearing from this point forward), these inserts, and another pair of inserts have me finally back to running & walking up or down stairs with very little problems.

Here are the 2 inserts that have helped me:

I use these for running and am back up to 5 miles per run (20 +/miles a week). I'm not 100% yet. I'm not back to 10 miles per run, but you have to start over and take it slow. A fallen arch really stinks! I've read and been told it takes 4 months to 1.5 years to heal 100%. I've been back at it for 2 months so I'm very happy with my progress. I'm thankful these 2 inserts and stability shoes are so far doing the trick for me!!

I use these for normal day to day wear since they're much MUCH firmer arch support. When I say firm, I mean hard! That's good though a fallen arch won't get better without maximum support and a lot of work to re-strengthen the muscles and tendons. While standing with these I constantly force my toes and heal down, using the plantar muscle to pull my arch up. These also DO cause your feet to sweat a lot. At first it bothered me but it seems like it's not as bad now that my feet are used to them. It is SO worth the trade off. I had another "green" insert that was close to these, but offered NO side support. These really have been a big help. I'll be wearing them for a long time.

In addition to the above, to help rehab my fallen arch, I stand on my toes for 1 full minute 10-15 times a day. Be careful with the toe standing as it can weaken your achilies and other tendons, especially after a run!! Once I got past that I started getting shin splints because my back calfs were getting stronger than my front muscles. I'd been through that a couple of years ago and found I also need to use my front muscles to pull my feet & toes up as hard as I can for 15-20 minutes total per day. I also support my feet when I sleep to help push up on them, so my back calf muscles don't pull them down. I don't use a PT sock because I found that was stretching my plantar muscle, and I need the reverse. With a fallen arch I needed to strengthen the PT muscle and support my foot, so a pillow or blanket at the foot of my bed has done the trick. The combination of all of the above has been working very well so far.

Honest reviews on Birkenstock BirkoSport Arch Support Insoles

I had plantar fascitis and not even sneakers or tennis shoes could prevent the pain and limping. Employers dress codes prevented wearing Birkenstock sandals, which were the only thing I could wear and still be able to walk. So, I bought these several years ago and they did the trick nicely. I never have pain or limping anymore. My feet feel good. They fit in dress shoes and tennis shoes/sneakers beautifully and can be removed and inserted in another pair over and over again. I can walk and exercise again and may as well not even have ever been diagnoses with plantar fascitis! I'm just getting ready to order another pair.

In the picture of these insoles the blue top liner appears the have the metatarsal arch pad. There isn't one. The blue liner just has a bump and the back of it is hollow, no support. The cork insole is just smooth without a metatarsal bump. I need the metatarsal arch. I have a metatarsal fracture that birkenstock shoes sooth.

I was very disappointed in this product. It is nothing like the birkenstock sandals or clogs' footbed.

This product is on it's way back to amazon. Very disappointed in this product.
