Aliexpress insoles?
« on: March 06, 2024, 12:08:53 PM »
Has anyone tried insoles for high arch support?

Something like these g8 knockoffs ( they don't come in my size   >:( )

Asking $120 for insoles ( looking at you g8s ), seems crazy.

I've ordered them, they are exactly the same as the original ones. You can only order one size which you can cut smaller (size 46 down to 40 I beleive)

What size are you?

The "size 39" insoles are really size 46 (best guest look like they are based on large sized G8) and you  trim down to  your  size.

I cut my ones down to size 42.5

I have 2 pairs of these G8 knockoffs, have mine cut to 42 (26cm) but it's pretty much the limit. You can even cut more, but then I believe the arch will be too much ahead even on the limit of positioning

either way, I think it's worth for the price, at least to try.
Both my pairs have 3yrs of use and are still going, the only issue I had is that the arches soften with time (like >1yr of use), but then I just get the upper number and keep on using it. Seems even the original one experience this and you need to get replacements after some years...

I have a set of medium (size 40 to 43) G8 and the heel and arch are almost the same size  and same position as the copies.

So you should get away if you feet are size 40 or 41

That said, I (size 42.5) have the arches slammed all the way back, because that is what works for me.
