The best age shoe inserts not only ease your barking dogs, they improve your running by correcting your foot alignment. Studies have shown that they can help you run with greater comfort (and maybe faster with less likelihood of injury).

By thinking ahead, you can improve your stride to prevent injury and discomfort before it starts.

What to Consider
Arch Height
For most runners, the main reason for seeking age shoe inserts is better arch support. Insoles are designed to accommodate either neutral/medium arches, high arches, or low or fallen arches (also known as flat feet). Be sure to get the right insert for your arch type, as running with the wrong support can hurt and cause injury. And if you need help in determining what your arch height is, we have Shoes CLARA BARSON TS4967-01 Red for that.
Cushioning
Shoe inserts range from low to max cushioning, so if your goal is to absorb impact, you’ll want to find one toward the higher end of that scale. Keep in mind that, the more cushioning, the more space they take up in your age shoes. You might prefer the snugger fit that affords, but if not, look for insoles with less cushioning and therefore lower volume.
Supination or Overpronation
Some insoles are specifically designed to address either supination (the tendency for the foot to roll outwards) or overpronation (excessive roll-in), which can vastly improve foot alignment. Be sure to get the right one for you, because here again the wrong support can do more harm than good. If you’re not sure if you overpronate or supinate, head to your local running store for a gait analysis.
How We Selected
I’ve spent decades as an avid runner with a tendency for supination, so age shoe inserts have been a key part of my experience. This firsthand knowledge helped inform my research and selection process, which is bolstered by input from the Runner’s World editors, outside experts, reviews from actual buyers, and the age shoe inserts the previous author of this article, Gabrielle Hondorp, selected. We’ve chosen products to suit a range of circumstances, support needs, and budgets. Below you’ll find the best age shoe inserts in a variety of categories.
