The insoles that just provide cushioning are ok, ie they provide the cushioning they say they do and nothing more.

However, the insoles that are marketed as "arch supports" are garbage. Any decent podiatrist will tell you to stay away from those. If you have legitimate arch problems, see a podiatrist and get high quality, custom fitted supports.

I have really really high arches and was in constant pain. Getting arch supports (thick plastic covered in foam) was one of the best things I've ever done.

*Edit* I misread your question so I thought you were talking about supports in general, ya know, the kind you get at Walgreens. I've never been to Good Feet, but if they have certified podiatrists do the work and they make custom inserts (take an imprint of your foot and make the insert to fit), then it sounds good to me. Like said, I had huge problems before I got them. I dont know, however, if a normal arch would benefit as much, but I tend to think that a support can't hurt and would most likely help at least some.

Just thought I'd see if anyone has some updates to add. I still see infomercials on these things,but I think they're going by a different name now. Any runners out there using them,and if so have they helped any?

Second Leila's advise - get proper arch supports. Mine are custom made, are hard plastic, and show no signs of any visible wear after four years of continuous use.

FWI, I too have extremely high arches and other arch support devices available at mass market levels helped, but in no way do they compare to the ones I have now. Cost was ~$200 but well worth it.
