Shock absorbent insoles?
Cushioning comes from the shoe%26#039;s sole not the insole. The only reason for a different insole is to change the shoe%26#039;s arch. If you want more cushioning, buy a different shoe.
Reply:The brand of shoe also makes a difference. The best shoes for running are Asics. If you splash out on a decent pair, you%26#039;ll get the best support and cushioning possible.





Also, if you really want inner soles. Sorbothane is a massively shock absorbant substance. You can get them in sports stores.





But I think you should start off with a good pair of shoes.
Reply:I find shock-absorbing insoles to be more comfortable, but, if they don%26#039;t fit the foot or shoe, perfectly, they tend to move around inside the shoe, thus making me feel as if I%26#039;m about to slide off the street! Seriously! The old-style cloth ones are better, in that regard, but they tend to distintegrate quickly, due to the pounding punishment of the pavement!





You can get them at any department store; the dollar stores have them, too.





P.S. If you have special needs, especially if you intend on doing this professionally, you may need to see an orthopedist or podiatrist.
