I'm ecstatic about the results
First I'd like to say that your insoles ROCK! I tore my plantar fascia a few years ago and in addition to that have always had foot pain of some kind when hiking, whether 5 miles or multi-day and I never thought I'd be able to hike without worrying about how my feet would feel afterwards. I purchased the Signature EV Ultra footbed for my hiking boots that will take me backpacking this season and I'm ecstatic about the results as I was literally skipping after my last long hike.
I also purchased a couple of Softec Response footbeds for my trail runners that I use for light hiking and general all day walking and a pair of Thin Casuals for my tennis shoes and so far I am amazed; no pain whatsoever. The pain and discomfort I used to feel everyday from minimal to major is now gone but I do feel it when I don't use the footbeds. In fact, it's so noticeable that my husband jokes about me having my footbeds when we go somewhere to make sure I can keep up.
One comment I have though is that the footbed doesn't exactly fit the shoes. The shoes and boots are size 6 as are the footbeds, but they're 4/16 short of the end. I first noticed it on the heel when I slipped the boots on; the footbed had slipped off the back of the heel, so I brought it flush with the heel but then found that the toe now has space. Since I wear my boots a 1/2 size larger it's not an issue in performance or comfort, but I was just curious if others had mentioned this?
Either way I'm keeping all of my footbeds and will definitely purchase more in the future as well as recommending them to all my friends. Thank you for a great product!

It won't be my last pair - they are awesome
I bought my first pair of Sole Sandals - the sport slide. It won't be my last pair - they are awesome. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for 7 years. Unfortunately, the podiatrist I was seeing didn't treat my condition properly. After enduring too much pain, I found another podiatrist and had foot surgery in February 2010. About a month ago, I started experiencing excruciating heel pain. I had been told that I would still experience pain for about 6 months. But this was a different sensation & wasn't getting better, so I went to my doctor yesterday. He said my bone was severely bruised and that it would take about 2 months to heal and I needed physical therapy. He also told me to make sure I was wear good shoes even around the house. I didn't want to wear my athletic shoes or dress shoes in the house; yet, my house slippers weren't providing enough support & it hurts to go barefooted. So I googled heel pain and treatments & found a website that recommended your sandals. I went to your website, found a local retailer and bought them today. So this long winded email to say... thank you!! I had relief immediately. It doesn't hurt so bad to just walk. I had been wearing Fit Flops & Skeechers new Tone Up sandals which didn't give me the proper support.

They are truly amazing sandals
I'm almost 8 months pregnant but I can wear my sole flips all day without getting sore feet. That's a first! I'd thought sore feet were just another one of the inevitable symptoms of pregnancy. I've been wearing my sole flips everywhere ever since I got them and my feet are totally pain free. They are truly amazing sandals and I would recommend them to anyone!

I have gained freedom from pain in my feet, hips back and neck
I tried these without any recommendation or knowledge of your company or product line. I have suffered for years from problems with foot alignment, a bad back, and even orthopedic surgery to correct back and foot problems. Doctors prescribed incredibly expensive orthotics which my insurance company will not pay for (they are a luxury item). When I stumbled across your website, honestly I thought to myself "what do I have to lose?"
I have lost nothing. I have gained freedom from pain in my feet, hips back and neck for the first time in about ten years. I can't thank you enough. I am on my feet all day long and walk a lot. I am becoming your best, free advertisement and will certainly be a repeat customer.
Thank you, from the bottom of my feet!
