I have used the shoes with the gel insoles very infrequently to date. However, as I attempted to put them on today one of the insoles fell out revealing that the gel side (that I was instructed should face downwards) has suffered considerable wear and has noticeable signs of abrasion and loss of contour.
This is very disappointing as I cannot have walked more than 5 or 6 miles whilst wearing these shoes and I have worn them for no more than 3 or 4 hours in total.
All told this seems like an unbelievably poor performance and it leaves me wondering if the instructions for fitting, which clearly said “leave the fabric side facing upwards”, were wrong.
As I looked at the insoles it seemed to me that the contoured gel side should face upwards and not downwards, but instructions are there to be followed and that is exactly what I did.
In any event, either the insoles are pretty poor, or the instructions are incorrect. Either way I would not recommend these gel insoles to anyone, even at the £10 to £11 price tag.
In summary – so far a big disappointment
