Not really.


Gel is actually best for vibration dampening or side to side force reduction. However, when running or walking most of the force is vertical (up or down). Down from gravity or up from the hard surface of the ground. Therefore, you are better off with an insole made out more maximum shock absorbing cushioning materials. One of the best on the market today is the dual layered memory foam PAM insole from MEGAComfort http://www.megacomfort.com . If you still want the gel, their new MEGASole combines the dual layered memory foam with just a little gel under the heel and arch.

Reply:yes, gel insoles would be good for your feet and your performance. just be sure to take the original sole out of your shoe and replace it with your new insert. if you need even more cushioning, simply invest in shoes that offer a lot of cushioning to begin with. may i suggest the Asics Gel Platinum or the Nike Air Pegasus-both offer tons of cushioning and support for your needs.
Reply:Yes, it is good for the heels and will lessen the chance of you having a sprain in your ankle.
Reply:yes they work great.. i use them all the time and my heels feel way better.
