Did you ever wonder why insoles cost as much as some entire shoes?It could be the biggest consumer ripoff since the pet rock.I've seen some major brands like Superfeet and Sole sell for 30-40 bucks, all for a piece of plastic and a thin piece of foam.
These are "only" $21, still more than I think should be charged for something using so little material.But they are about a third less than the major brands and they do the same thing.
These orange ones are constructed with the same general idea as "Superfeet", but with a much cushier feel.The rear 2/3 of the insole is semi-rigid plastic, and the forward part is cusioned.You can tell the difference right away.I'll be ordering a couple more pair of these.
Product DescriptionA full length orthotic footbed that provides semi-rigid support to the entire plantar area of the foot including the longitudinal arch, with a metatarsal pad and heel cushion.Made of an innovative special material with high shock elasticity that is tear proof and hard wearing.Recommended for all impact and weight bearing activities.Provides excellent insulation against cold.Suitable for very sensitive skin.Hand washable. Pedag is a Euro Comfort brand of footcare.Pedag merges 3 elements: Nature, Science and Technology to produce products that are good for the modern foot.Nature is found in Pedag¿s use of high quality natural materials such as vegetable tanned leather, pure cotton, wool, sisal, water based adhesives and active carbon and silver ions for odor control.Science is found in Pedag¿s use of supportive, anatomically correct footbeds and inserts that support the arches, muscles and ligaments of the foot.Supporting the foot adequately provides a base from which to support the ankles, hips and spine.Pedag orthotics stress Support rather than simple Cushioning.Even our flat, non-orthotic insoles are different because they too combine Nature, Science and Technology.Pedag insoles (orthotic or plain) allow the foot to breathe inside the shoe, keeping feet and shoes fresh.Did you know the foot produces a shot glass of perspiration daily.Insoles that absorb moisture, breathe and prevent odor are necessary for healthy feet.Technology is found in Pedag¿s modern manufacturing facilities in Germany (even though much of the production of our insoles is still done by hand), stringent quality controls and introduction of cutting edge technologies such as nano ions of silver for permanent odor prevention in several of our insoles and an innovative new material to insulate against cold.

I have several pairs of these Chinese shoes. Some in the cotton style as well as this silk style, and I love them. They are very comfortable, and I'm on my feet a lot during the day so comfort is important.I do slip a Dr. Scholl's Gel insert in to give a little arch support. I plan to buy even more of these shoes since they come in so many different colors and patterns. I love the tapestry pattern I've seen! One can never have too many Chinese shoes!
