Carbon Fiber Insole (1 Pair), 275mm, Rigid Sole Shoe Insert for Turf Toe

This came in spot on at 1.3mm thick It has a matte looking finish. A couple of scuffs but only cosmetic...and it's going in my shoe, it's not going to look pretty for long. It's also very light weight but that's to be expected. The insert does flex under weight, but it does require a bit of force to do it. My toes don't apply enough force to do accomplish that. I'm not experienced with carbon fiber so I don't know if this normal. But whether or not that's normal, it still does the job of supporting my toes. My only complaint is that it is on the narrow side. I can feel the edge dig into my feet a little bit on either side.

I made a video showing you what the Carbon Fiber inserts look like. Hubs has been using for a month now and he really thinks they are helping his toe pain issues a lot. He is using in both shoes to keep balanced. It did take a few days to get used to how they felt but to his surprise and pleasure he has not been plagued with pain after pickleball in his big toe which has been an ongoing issue for about a year. If he has any negative issues I will update.

Wow! I think these might be impenetrable. I have no concerns of potentially stepping on nails and puncturing my feet any more. The carbon fiber insoles should provide ample protection for the feet and are extremely rigid. I can not bend it, so I questioned how comfortable they might be. They actually provide excellent support when used in conjunction with a high arch support insole for those with flat feet. I place them between insoles and the mid soles of my sneakers and find that they are surprisingly comfortable and help alleviate any soreness through the arch of the foot and do not altar the stride of my gait. Excellent product.

I've never actually had my foot pain diagnosed but I've always struggled with a nagging pain under the balls of my foot... I'm not a Dr so not 100% sure how they did it but after only a few days wearing these under my insoles my pain is nearly gone. They are extremely stiff so takes a little bit of getting used to but once you do the better weight dispersion these produce help so much if you have any localized or sharp pains in your feet due to pressure points or unusual walking styles. So worth it!

My son is always slipping around on the court, so we invested in shoes, but even with the shoes he just seems to fall often and blames it on the shoes. To offer more support, we got these insoles for him. They are true to size and he enjoys the extra comfort they provide. We tend to be flat footed so these work great in stabilizing our feet and preventing much bend.
