Hello mates! I really wanna get some insoles because 99% of stock insoles are too thick or too thin (janoskis). What are some good insoles for relatively cheap i can buy at like target or walmart? I was thinking of buying some dr schollls but nothing really catered to action sports. (I don't run and massaging gel sounds like something i'd buy at a sex shop) footprint and ect. Insoles are too pricey for me as my feet are still growing.
Dr. Scholls tend to collapse at the arch, providing mediocre support. They give the illusion that because they're "comfortable" means that they're working and actually supporting your arch, which is just not the case. I just recently recovered from plantar-fasciitis (look it up if you don't t know what it is) after 6 months of icing my foot every night and going through pair after pair of "general store insoles." You say you're looking for something cheap, but if you actually feel like you're starting to need real support in the arch, I would avoid most "general store insoles." But if all you're looking for is a little extra padding, then go scholls then by all means go for the Dr. Scholls and other "general store insoles." Just know that you'll probably go through a few pairs. In my personal opinion, through experimentation, I would get the footprint insoles. I've been wearing them for about 5 months and I saw improvement in my foot within the first month of wearing then, and the best part is, they're actually meant to take the abuse of riding. And my arches are like freakishly high so the gamechangers were perfect for me. So it's really up to you which route you want to go, whether you want real support or just a little padding.
Edit: WIN! I wrote that at 5:30 in the morning^^^^^
