chuck taylors are not athletic shoes

i’ll be honest, i have no idea why influenster picked me to be one of the reviewers for these dr. scholls insoles. i do not run, i do not do any sort of exercise that requires shoes, and i don’t even own a pair of athletic shoes. at least i know now that i don’t. when i first got the package i thought “hey chuck taylors are used in basketball, these should work right?” but no.. alas… i was wrong.

they are really nice insoles, lots of support, and some cushion. however i was sadly unable to properly review this item because my shoes just were not meant for this sort of thing. the instructions on the box say to remove your shoes’ original insoles, however there is no way to do that in a pair of chuck taylors (unless i want to completely destroy the shoes). i tried to wear the insoles in my shoes for a few days, but they were just not right. the insoles are bulky (which is why you have to remove your original insoles) and they made my shoes fit too tightly. i ended up with the backs of my heels rubbed against the heel of my shoe, as well as pinched pinky toes. not comfy.

this is not to say that i do not think these are great insoles, however i’m sad i was unable to actually use them! perhaps i need to purchase a real pair of athletic shoes in the future, but as a warning, i’d skip them if you don’t own a pair.
