ProFoot Insoles Review/Giveaway

Recently I was invited to try out Profoot Custom Molding Insoles. According to Profoot:

  • Vita-foam instantly molds to your foot like custom orthotics
  • Weighs only 2 oz. to help prevent fatigue
  • Helps relieve tired, achy feet
  • Reduces friction to eliminate that burning feeling ( I get it at about mile 22 of every marathon). Friction also causes corns, calluses and blisters. Hello I am the high priestess of blisters
  • The top layer molds to the shape of your foot while the bottom layer acts as a shock absorber, lifts the arch and stabilizes the heel.
  • Plus look how cute they are: all lavender and white. Who doesn’t love lavender?

Yep, I’m sitting in my sweaty bra showing you insoles. Blame it on my run in molten-lava 78 degrees, the fact that I’m approaching 50 and have clearly lost my mind, whatever. Watch for more info. on that bra coming soon.

I wore these for my half marathon last weekend. Typically I am a neutral runner, who can take or leave insoles. But these I kind of dug. They had a nice cushiony quality without being overly soft. There was some serious cushioned luxury going on in the heel area, but being a forefoot striker, I didn’t get to enjoy its full effect.

I also wore them for shorter runs. To really test how just how much these puppies reduce friction, I put them in evil shoes that typically give me huge blisters just for kicks. Guess what? Yep, blister-free.

In a perfect world, for my taste, these would have even more forefoot cushioning, and if I can be really picky they’d have some kind of cooling chamber because we’re roasting here in Chi-town lately. But overall a very nice product.

Win It!

One lucky reader will win a pair of 2 oz. Miracle Insoles of their very own. Sorry I only have a pair for chicks, size 6-10.

  9. I wear orthotics in my running shoes, but I could use these in my other shoes! I’ll visit you on FB – don’t want you to be lonely! 🙂

  11. I want to try those insoles! I have Superfeet insoles in my running shoes right now and have had them way too long. I am in need of something new:)

  18. OH!!! I got my first blister – TODAY!! I am band-aided up and hope it doesn’t affect me airport travel/running.

    I also like you on The Book!

  23. I didn’t think for a minute that your bra was sweaty. Thank goodness they haven’t invented smellivision.

  24. I think the photo is cute! I always look like a drowned rat when I finish running, much to the embarrassment of my teen sons 🙂

  41. I would love to win/need a new pair of running shoe insoles, and these ProFoot Insoles look awesome!!
