The 8 Best Shoe Inserts For Runners, According to the Pros

Road Runner Sports Custom Insoles ($120)
Road Runner Sports Custom Insoles are customized to the shape of your foot, natural pressure points, and gait. While these shoe inserts will obviously vary according to the needs of each runner, they all feature a four layer construction, including an antibacterial top layer and a balance plate. You'll have to visit the retailer in person to conduct a 3D scan of your foot, but the process may be worth the investment if you are looking for a more personalized solution or aren't sure why you're experiencing certain issues when running. The shoe inserts are also covered by a 90-Day guarantee if you're not entirely satisfied with the results.
Expert Quote: "This was a much better experience for me than trying to buy off-the-rack insoles that might not match my needs," says obstacle course racer and sports nutritionist Melissa Boufounos, CHN. "Plus, the insoles have a lifespan of 1000 miles, which is, on average, the same as the lifespan of two pairs of shoes."
