Running Insoles

I’m a 52 yr old runner/swimmer/cyclist/yoga nut. I’ve been running on & off for most of my adult life, distances slowly getting longer, outdoor terrain more rugged & remote with age. As with almost every regular runner I’ve had my share of smaller setbacks, plantar fasciitis, a Morton’s neuroma, ankle, knee & hip twinges here and there, but nothing major. As I’ve got nearer the 50 mark I’ve opted for more cushioning underfoot, wearing my barefoot running shoes less (tho’ still running barefoot on beaches), probably because I’m more aware of wear & tear on my joints. Most recently I’ve experienced some Achilles tendinitis. I’ve read some glowing reviews about these Enertor insoles which piqued my interest enough to try some. My initial response was ‘uh oh, these are going to press on the front inside of my heel too much’ (or back inside of the arch) due to their contoured shape and the way they interface with my high-arched, wide-forefooted feet (I’ve had some excruciating experiments with Superfeet insoles in this regard), but they also seemed really bouncy and forgiving, so I thought I’d give them a go. First outing was 12k across local west-Cornish moors (I ignored the slow-break-in advice, but did take the old insoles with me in a bum-bag just in case I needed to swap them - I didn’t) & I loved the experience. A couple of days later a similar distance on cliff paths, enjoyed every second. I’ve had two more similar runs since then, within the first week of owning the insoles. My feet have never felt more stable, comfortable, cushioned & this translates all the way up my skeletal frame. No injuries, no sore spots, just a warm bounce to my ride, a yoga stretch out afterwards, am loving running! Maybe it helps that I run with my now 2 yr old dog who adds some extra joy to the experience? And maybe my new La Sportiva Jackals (the best trail shoes I have ever run in) are adding some extra input, but, for the time being, I am super happy, sorted & stoked! My Achilles injury is being constantly monitored/massaged/stretched but is certainly not getting any worse (I did take some time out last autumn to let it heal which has helped but not resolved the problem), and maybe it will get better with time, perhaps as a result of these insoles, let’s see? I am really comfy with my current running set-up, loving getting into that flow state undistracted by physical grumbles. So, thank you Enertor for your amazing insoles & for aiding & enabling my running adventures. I hope the soles will last a long time! Big thumbs up from me & a happy tail wag from my lab Mowg, my running partner & black shadow! ☀️

Picked up a knee injury, so thought I would try these insoles, well I love them, they have made the transition from injury to running again easy.

These are saving my life! - I was skeptical about these, but being endorsed by Usain Bolt and seeing the other reviews I took a chance. I am a very keen runner, who runs pretty much everyday because I love it and it makes my mental health happy. However, I am prone to injury! - Over the christmas period I got injured again, this time rather painfully and I was upset that I couldn't run. After a week of rest and therapy, it was getting better but still uncomfortable to run on...enter ENERTOR INSOLES! - WOW, firstly I have quite a large running shoe rotation and these insoles fit nicely into any shoe I want it to! Secondly, these insoles mean I can get back into running with comfort. Shock absorbing? Absolutely! I don't feel any pain from my injury and a lot less discomfort. The injury is still niggling, but these insoles are perfect to keep me ticking over whilst I rehabilitate!. I will continue to use them once I am back up to speed as they really do work! The only thing I would stress about them is that you have to give them a chance, for me they were a bit uncomfortable on the first 2 or 3 outings, but after that I got used to them.

Best insole I have tried

I have previously reported problems with these insoles and had to give them up. I tried them to help with Achilles tendinopathy. The problem was that after around three miles I would get a burning sensation under my right heel. This would happen regardless of the socks or shoes that I wore. It did not happen with any other insole. After getting a huge blister I figured out that the problem was due to friction. Enertor socks made no difference. However, as it happens I just come back from a run where I decided to give them a final try with a plaster on my heel. The good news is that it worked and I ran ten miles with no recurrence. I now very much look forward to using them in the long term.

I think these are fantastic to use honestly dunno why I didn’t get these sooner. If I had to choose one thing to improve on, which honestly I would imagine many people would also like, is just add a few cutting guidelines to make adjusting these insoles easier. Its a small thing to do but makes life so much easier.

I have 4 or more of the previous versions of insoles (Enertor D30) which I have used for several years, and recently bought 2 pairs of the new version of running insoles, which I actually only use for walking. They were surprisingly a significant improvement on the previous version, which I have always liked anyway. I have walked miles and miles over the last month in total comfort, despite suffering from plantar fasciitis. I can thoroughly recommend the new insoles.

I run a lot and have developed planta fasciitis which was causing pain every day. Since using the insoles the general pain has gone. After a short run or relatively easy week, with the insoles I’ve got no pain. After a long run the pain returns but seems quicker to pass. All in all I’m so happy with the insoles and can keep running.

Though I had a great run on the flat the first time I tried the new innersoles out I am afraid that when running downhill that they transferred impact into my knee and aggravated an old knee injury. Took them out and have not tried them since. Going to let things settle down again and try again in a few weeks time.

At 57 years old, keen cyclist and runner, wear and tear clearly kicking in now, pain in heal came along, wow what’s happening here!, just believed it would sort itself out, intermittent after exercise, hoped it would pass, how wrong was I. Noticed an advert on social media, thought I’d give it a go, initially thought quite expensive for an insole, arrived promptly, I wear boots for work, so tried them out- WOW!!-WOW!!, discomfort gradually disappeared, now then, went out running without the insole, 5 mile, within half hour pain was back. Just ordered second pair, genuinely a must purchase, you will be amazed!.

I'm unsure about using the product in motion control shoes. It seems to 'oversupport' & I'm.getting knee pain after 8k. Thinking I should switch back to Insoles that came with the shoes

A great product that has helped me reduce injury as I pile up the miles and is a very comfortable fit. I would highly recommend others give it a go.

I had seen the adverts many times, and was sceptical tbh. Then I picked up a knee injury and was struggling to get back to my former running distance. So I decided to give them a go. Also tbh when I unboxed them I was again unsure how good these would be. I ran with them for the first time 2 weeks ago, they are like magic, you barely feel the road. I have no pain in my knee and feel like I have a lot less stress on my hips and back. They are a bit pricey, but so worth it.

I serve within the British Army I’ve recently deployed to Kenya for a 2 month Training Package. I have used other insoles and always have had feet and knee problems. I have being in the field for 3 weeks and these insoles have really treated my feet nicely covering high features Rocky terrains and dry grounds of Kenya. I would highly recommend these I am currently purchasing more.

Myself and my friend have just completed the London Marathon this year after training for nearly two years. At the start of our training plan back in October 2020 we both experienced different types of foot pain .,My friend had sharp pain in her toes and I had something called fat displacement in my left foot. Denise had read about your insoles and so I had a pair for xmas. My training soon became pain free so Denise bought herself a pair and soon discovered her toes no longer hurt. They are brilliant I can't believe that having the correct insoles really does make a difference .

Have had heel issues for sometime now so tried these insoles as a last resort and not only was my running less painful but days after my feet were pain free ! I can get my life back if this continues

Great insole , quick delivery

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for 6 months and have had to stop training as a result. I was dubious these would make a difference, I'm absolutely delighted to say they have and I'm training again, throughly worth the investment.

Always struggling with foot issues. Bought expensive running trainers which made a big difference but with these in as well my feet have never been better

Helped me out for a while with a foot injury.

I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis for about 6 months and had stopped running while I focussed on foot exercises to improve it. I felt ready to start some short runs again so started at week 4 of couch to 5k with the insoles. I wore them in as instructed and thought they might make my feet ache, but after a few times that stopped. I was also hesitant to remove the insoles from my cushioned Hoka’s but shouldn’t have been. They’ve helped enormously with the pain, running is comfortable and I can get out of bed without hobbling now!

I have suffered with Planta for a month now, then started using the PX1 insole. OMG what a difference from the very first time of using them. Helped me get around London Marathon last weekend!!! love them.

Tried these insoles to reduce my feet aching after longer runs. Ran a half marathon in them last weekend and loved both the comfort and energy return these insoles provide. Highly recommend.

I waited too long to buy Enertor insoles and my plantar fasciitis had become a real pain. But now each run with my new Enertor insoles is like a trip to the physio and I have seen improvement, but we must remember recovery from a significant injury takes time and effort. So it is not a miracle cure but a substantial step towards recovery.

I like many of you brought a cheaper version first that just didn’t do anything to help my plantar fasciitis (policeman’s foot) The Enertor insoles on the other hand eased the initial pain and started to improve within a week. The only downside I found was I had to cut them down to fit in my trainer and would have preferred to have brought my exact size.

Second pair bought which shows what I think, ie very good pleased with them!

It has taken 36 holes of golf to bed them in but they are now so comfortable and have allowed me to manage 36 holes in 48 hours for the first time for almost 10 years.

I have a pair of Enertors in my trail shoes and road shoes, they are very comfortable!

I’ve tried various products, particularly insoles, to try to help with continuing running problems. Like many people I am sceptical about claims made by companies; however my enertor insoles actually do work…after only a couple of weeks I am running with virtually no discomfort/ pain. I am in my mid 70s and decided to see if I could return to running 10k events, something I had been unable to do for several years. On Sunday I completed my 10k , no noticeable problems and no after effects. I heartily recommend you try this product for yourself.

I have only had my insoles a short time but have seen an improvement my feet do not ache nowhere near as much as they did. I haven’t started running properly yet, but teaching PE lessons are more enjoyable, I am currently doing exercises too so the combination is definitely helping. Wouldn’t be without them now.

I bought two pairs of these to replace the inner soles on my ASICS shoes as I was getting an ache in my legs but to be honest having used them six times, I am getting foot pain in arches where I didn’t have any before so persevering but will be putting the originals back soon if things don’t improve.

I bought these at the start of a beginners’ jogging plan. They seem to be making a difference to my knee pain from arthritis. Very comfortable to wear. Would recommended getting used to them gradually, as advised. Very pleased overall.

The insoles are fine

Apart from saving a pair of decent but worn trainers going in the bin (which alone is a good enough reason to buy) and helping me achieve some personal bests and preventing any pain/discomfort in the process; I’m not sure they’re any good! In fact, they’re not, they’re terrific.

Been competing in sprint triathlons for a few years now, my swimming and cycling I've always been happy with but the running has been a real struggle due to really bad aching legs, I was told I had collapsed arches. I tried these and now completed 2 Olympic distance triathlons and my legs have felt much better. Now looking forward to my 70.3 next year.

My 3rd pair of these new PX1 running insoles and would not use anything else these days. The new insoles are thin so they go in all of my running shoes but still give my feet and arches maximum protection.

I got my insoles at the same time as my new running shoes arrived so I tried them both. Felt like running on air! I took out the Entertor insoles and replaced them with the original Brooks ones and I’ve now put them back. Got a good time in last week’s 10k race!

I bought a pair of these and after my feet had got used to them they are really comfortable, i want to buy more pairs for my other non running shoes now. Highly recommended!

I have ankle problems and these so far they have certainly helped me when l run

These are my 3rd pair of insoles. Very comfortable and they do the job.

They seem to be good

Best insole ive bought for running

I suffer with plantar fasciitis. Still in the process of breaking in these insoles so only wearing for an hour at a time, but so far so good. I’ve managed a pain free short run (20 mins) today so I’m really pleased. Just hoping this continues as PF is so frustrating and painful.

Being having calf issues playing football .had these for week or so and can honestly say I've felt the difference already .early days but sofar so good

Great insoles for protecting feet/legs just wish they could trim weight down abit….. over double the weight of standard insoles and is noticeable if racing

Easy to trim to size, noticeable difference in feel and reduction in foot fatigue - so far so good! They seem to add stability towards the end of a longer run too. Of note, the insoles (by my measurement and feel) add a 5mm heel drop.

For me, I could feel the difference in my legs from the very first run using the running insoles… I’ve felt a noticeable easing of the discomfort in my troublesome Achilles and overall my legs don’t feel as tired and recover faster… Was sceptical about them before purchase but now I would totally recommend them…

These were not originally delivered to the right address. I tried sorting it myself with no success from Royal Mail. After telling Enertor about this, they sent a replacement which arrived the very next day after informing them. As to the insoles they feel very comfortable and I hardly notice my plantar faciliitis now when I am running. Very pleased.

These are my third pair of running insoles. I now wouldn't be without them and I get a new pair every time I change my running shoes. I then move the old running pair into my walking boots! They are brilliant and I can't recommend enough...suffice to say I won't run without them!

Insoles very bouncy and comfortable. Personally I did not need much running in. Had for three weeks now and still comfortable. No injuries and feeling supportive. Are they worth the hefty price? Don’t know yet.

Great product

Bought these for my son to help with sore feet and knees and I have to say 3 weeks of football and no sore feet on knees . Well done guys great product !

great thanks

These really work. More bounce in my stride, no pain and faster pace over kms. Love them, really expensive but worth it.

I use them in my gym trainers for use on the cross trainer. So far ( 6 hours of use) they are the most comfortable insoles I have ever used.

This is the 3rd pair of enertor insole I've bought and I'm glad I invested in every single pair . After suffering with chronic pain in my left knee for 3 years I'm now pain free . If anyone is hesitating in buying enertor I'd thoroughly recommend they do so .

The insoles seem OK but I need an insole with higher instep support and a metatarsal dome. Without these they are no good for running. Do you do an insole with these?

Starting to feel a diffence in less pain

Finished an ironman thanks to these!

Great for running and walking. Definitely take the pressure off your feet

It's taken a couple of days to get used to wearing the insoles but they are now comfortable to wear. However I am suffering with achilles tendonitis and unfortunately it is going to take a few months of stretching exercises and slowly building up walking before I feel better. What I am hoping is that these insoles will aid that recovery a bit more quickly by correcting the pronation of my foot and instability of the heel.

Really pleased with these insoles, I have been struggling with foot pain on longer runs and with these insoles the pain has gone. Great fit in my shoes, would definitely recommend.

Bought the running insoles for our Coast 2 Coast walk. St Bees - Robin Hoods Bay (in 12 days). I was very dubious of how they would help me do the walk but can say they are amazing. No injuries and finished each day without a limp. Love them. Fantastic value too

I bought the insoles after buying a brand new pair of running shoes which didn't work for me. I couldn't afford to go out and buy a second brand new pair. So I put the insoles in an old pair of running trainers. The difference was amazing. The insoles made the old trainers feel better than brand new. They are comfortable and really seem to protect your feet and legs from the wear and tear of training for a marathon. I would definitely recommend.

Slightly skeptical at first but they certainly were a pleasant surprise. Plantear Facetious, what Plantear Facetious!

Excellent

Initially I wasn't sure if the insoles made much difference but I read it can take a few weeks to get used to them. After 2-3 weeks of regular use I've noticed my legs are much less achey and stiff and that's with increasing the mileage too. The insoles are also very comfortable in my trainers. Glad I persevered.

I am a 5k specialist road runner and also play football as well as walk our 2 collies; I average 130k a week at various speeds. Back in November I developed plantar fasciitis probably caused by a great deal of charity road running during Covid lockdown. Rest was difficult since as all runners know, rest loses speed and stamina. Well after a difficult 6 months with the fasciitis flaring up and then receeding, I worked out that football really aggrevated the pain. Two weeks ago I bought the running insoles. Wow what a fantastic unbelievable difference. Football, no pain, yes my feet are tender but nothing like it was and running training is almost back to my usual distance, just got to work on the speed now. These insoles really, really work and are worth every penny. They are fantastic. I will be buying more.

Not been using long enough to tell yet.

I'm training for the Loch Ness marathon and have run 450 miles in my Asic Gel Cumulus 22 GTX trainers. Instead of buying new trainers, I extended the life of my existing ones using Enertor insoles. 100 miles further on and they have been perfect - they are thin, but provide excellent cushioning/protection, and will no doubt extend the life of my trainers for many more miles to come. I plan to buy a new pair of trainers with about 150 training miles to go before the marathon.

Perfect insoles, like walking/ running on air.

Walking around for 3 days solid my feet felt much better than the previous 3 weeks with heel pains

I normally run 70-80km a week… and Enertor Insoles have really helped in recovery time… feet, ankles are not so stiff or tired… Guys before ordering do take out insoles to measure size… I read some of reviews that Enertor don't fit some customers' shoes… they actually do, but you need to measure against your existing running shoes' insoles. hope this revew helps… enjoy

Bought these as I suffer from sever nerve pain in my feet and also suffer flare ups of Achilles tendinitis, I wore them in for short periods of time but unfortunately they made the pain in my feet worse so they’ve gone back in the box for now. I am willing to give them another go but hoping for better outcome 2nd time round. I don’t run but bought these for walking the dog .

Comfortable and supportive for my feet.I can feel the difference

Throughout my running career I have always had niggles with my Achilles tendon these amazing insoles certainly cushion my stride and help continue to run….. highly recommended

Fits well and feels very comfortable.

Enertor insoles in BrooksGhost running shoes really help the heel pain. The running insoles feel as supportive as the walking insoles- so I’d recommend them for running shoes..

Although I've only used them for two short runs, they are so comfortable and I have not suffered with any shin pain. Definitely recommend these insoles!!!!

It seems to prevent leg soreness and is keeping me injury free.

It doesn't make much difference compared to my normal soles in running shoes. I need a refund pls under your money back guarantee. I have email you twice to ask how to do this and you have not answered - very poor customer service too

Really pleased with these currently training for the London marathon and they are worth every penny.

Had some Enertor running insoles before, but I had them for 18 moths. Bought 2 new pairs, 1 running, 1 walking. Just over a week in, put it this way, I’ll renew every 6 months now, ankle pain gone, knee much better, soles of feet don’t feel ‘slapped’ after a day of standing, the walking insoles feel like duvets after a few days (not sure why they didn’t straight away) they’re expensive yes, but I will not wear any others now. I train 15 times a week, 30 min Hiit AM, 30 min run PM (7’30” miles) and 1 KM swim in the evening - mon - fri

I am often very cynical about advertisements that make claims or have famous people endorsement, but I have to say the running insoles do exactly what they claimed to do. I have purchased different pairs at cheaper prices but these have a nice light feel and so far no rubbing around my toes which have occured with other thicker pairs. Pricey but very impressed!

I'm a heavy runner and impact, especially when running downhill has always been a problem. I feel so free and different with these insoles. Only done a handful so far but highly rate them.

I find them more comfortable in my trainers but I havn't run in them much yet.

My wife spends a lot of time in Wellingtons or walking trainers as she has horses. She suffers from plantia fasciitis and Achilles pain. I bought her a pair of Enertor insoles for runners and she thinks they are brilliant. Most comfortable she has been in ages.

I had thought that they were okay although they did take quite a bit of 'wearing in' however in my first race using them I ended up with a dirty great blister on the ball of my foot (having never had a blister there in all my decades of running) so I'm not really sure what to do about them now.

I’m a runner and I also spend 6 to 9 hours in my feet at work. I’ve been suffering with a very sore Achilles. Since wearing these insoles for work and now back running after a rest, it seems to have improved. I do feel that they have helped

Really comfortable to wear. Easy to insert into running shoes. I chose to try these following a stress fracture to my foot.

18 mile trail run out the box. Extra thickness caused my toe to rub on top - never had that before. I need a few more runs to see if they make a difference.

Very comfortable. No knees or shin pains. Love it.

Very comfy amazing quality

They have made a lot of difference when I run. My feet don’t feel tired and ache as much from the impact of running on concrete/tarmac.

I am new to running this year. I have recently been struggling with my Achilles. I rested for 6-8 weeks and it’s much better but not 100%. I bought these Enertor insoles a couple of weeks ago and they have transformed my runs. I have little pain now in my Achilles and am very impressed with how these make my runs feel

Ok

Wore them out for a run with my run club for the first time in two weeks. My ankle felt really good and i was able to push all the way.

High quality product & definitely recommended to try out!!

High quality product, definitely recommend to try out!!

I’ve not felt any benefit from these. I bought them as I have just started to suffer plantar fasciitis, but they have not helped ease the pain at all- disappointed
