Anyone know of any awesome insoles that I could slip into my Janoskis that enable me to walk after a hard day of riding? My heels are crying right now.

This is what i did.
1. Find an old pair of shoes 1-.5 sizes too small for you
2. Put them on the bottom of your janoski insoles with the heel of the insole touching the heel of the shoe
3. Profit
This works because at least on my janoski insole the sole compresses too quickly on landings and the airbubble working against a thin sole does pretty much nothing.
You WILL lose the out of the box board feel though and your shoe might feel like its a cup sole. But if you are doing shit that makes you feel like zig short you might as well

Do you own a pair? How do they feel? Are they super light? Is the foot bed still flat without an arch like the originals?

I skated a pair. Felt like my v1 janos with my footprint insole in them rolled my ankle on a gap and gave em to my friend who got his stolen lol. I couldn't feel that much of an arch but maybe you have flatter feet than i do. They felt way lighter though

vans never work for me. way too thin and the material doesn't absorb enough shock. also they're not durable i went through a pair in one day and another pair in a week. elyts aren't working too good either. i broke them after two weeks

janoskis for me, not the cheapest shoe in aus, but i love the feel and look of them (got 6 pairs).
The new luna janoskis seem really good, but i know some people that have broken them easy ( although this could be a fault with manufacting) and the upper looks bad and old after about a week of riding.

Janos are really great shoes, but I just hate how everyone and their mother just buys janos for the "skater hype", it makes me feel like a pleb wearing them

Vans are the only shoe for me.. I picked up a pair of supras for 20$ and the soles had no grip after 1 hour if riding lol, I wouldn't get Gravis because I'm a snowboarder and Burton owns Gravis, they gave up paying to keep Forum snowboards alive and refused to give it back to Peter the old owner so I cant support anything of theres anymore
