10 Reviews: Best Insoles for Work Boots (May 2023)

Look no further than the Superfeet Orange Premium Insole for enhanced support and scientifically designed sole protection for the whole foot. This insole is composed of several densities of foam to give appropriate support and comfort to each area of the foot. Those suffering from pressure or tension pain, as well as those with plantar fasciitis, will benefit from the high-arched design.

... I think I'm on my third or fourth pair now? Whatever shoes or boots I'm wearing for the day, I make sure to transfer over my Superfeet. I don't go a day without wearing them. I've tried different "colors" but the high arched orange are my favorite. I like the little heal cup and additional padding up front. ...

Padded synthetic insoles don’t always provide the additional protection you need in your work boots. The Servus Puncture-Resistant Midsoles with Flexible Steel Inserts are required for this. Yes, you heard us well. These are genuine steel boot insoles. They provide puncture resistance against shrapnel, rusty nails, and shattered glass, which may readily pierce even the strongest boots’ rubber soles.

I have a size 10 boot so I ordered the size 10. They fit almost perfectly, and they absolutely protect from nails, screws, etc. Perfect investment for any laborer who works on site.

The Timberland PRO Men’s Anti-Fatigue Technology Replacement Insole strikes the perfect balance of support and comfort. You’ll need a more supportive insole if you have arch problems or already have a medical condition affecting your foot’s muscles or ligaments. However, if you want preventive support without sacrificing comfort, this sole is a great choice. Timberland has designed a flexible synthetic insole with supporting cones that absorb shock using proprietary Anti-Fatigue Technology.

I now have several pairs of these that I have in my boots for work and for training. I do a lot of walking, deal with lots of stairs, and do a lot of standing on hard surfaces. Every other insole I have tried leaves me constantly moving around to take pressure off of certain areas of my feet, but these ones I can stand on for as long as they are good for. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone I know who spends as much time on their feet as me.

If you wear work boots, you’re familiar with the Carhartt brand. This insole excels in three areas: grip, comfort, and impact protection. It is designed more for optimized work performance than support. Ax Suede is the distinctive material utilized in these insoles. It sounds amazing, and it even sounds better in reality.

Had these for around a week and they are working great. The original ones that came with the boots were so wore out. These were a little tight at first when I put them in and thought they were too big but after a couple days they have molded well into the boots.

The Form Premium insoles will undoubtedly improve the comfort of any work boot. They include extra-thick padding for hours of decreased joint and muscle strain. The greatest thing about them is that they adapt to your foot’s natural shape over time while still giving support where it’s needed.

I wear work boots pretty much every day, and developed PF in my right foot. Tried a few of the store brands, and nothing helped. Finally bought these, heated them in the oven as per instructions. They worked great, and my feet are feeling much better after just a few days. Definitely worth the money!

A heavy-duty shoe insert is required for a heavy-duty work boot. The Polysorb design from Spenco adds the most to your tough daily footwear. Thanks to a thick, foamy crashpad that makes pressure on the forefoot are greatly reduced. Another pad runs down the heel, properly distributing weight to prevent tiredness and give an energetic response. They’re excellent for people who have low to neutral arches and who spend a lot of time standing on hard surfaces like concrete.

From years of retail management, spending hours on my feet, I needed some relief. Started using these in my dress shoes, and now, EVERY pair of shoes I own, tennis, boots, dress and casual, all get the original insoles removed and replaced with these Spenco's. Better than all the others I've tried!!!

When a shoe insert is designed to fit precisely within your work boot, it’s pretty ideal. The Keen Men’s K-20 insole is an instance of this. If you don’t have a pair of Keen boots, they may be cut to suit the styles of any other brand. They feature a thick quality cushion for maximum shock absorption and to relieve tension on the knees during any activity. For stability, you get a high-rebound foam and a deep heel cup. They’re ideal for supporting the body’s natural alignment in neutral arches. They also include anti-odor technology, so you won’t be embarrassed by the smell when you take them off at the end of the day.

Used these as a replacement, for the original insets of my Keen San Jose boots. They were kind of tricky to get in but then again I didn’t unlace the boots all of the way. They popped In perfectly and feel as good as new .... and then some. No slipping, sliding ... nice tight manufacturing fit

Dr. Scholl’s is perhaps the most well-known drugstore brand for shoe inserts, and their gel work insole is no exception. It has massaging gel technology for shock absorption and comfort, as well as strengthened arch support to keep your feet stable. The additional padding at the ball of the foot is intended to provide immediate comfort. Additionally, the design has cooling vents to keep toes dry.

I work in the mines as an IT person...computer geek in the dirt lol. My feet are used to flip flops, crocs, and spendy tennis shoes. A year ago my feet met the pain of work boots! I’ve purchased everything under the sun, and my feet still hurt. After buying these, I forget I have my boots on at times and accidentally wear them home. I’ve purchased the 60.00 inserts....these are WAY BETTER!!!

The Red Wing Heritage Comfort Force Footbed is an insole made of ultra-comfortable suede and polyurethane (the same substance used in memory foam) that provides comfort and impact protection regardless of the shoe you wear. True, these insoles aren’t only for work boots, but they made the list because they’re versatile enough to be used in any type of shoes.

These things are amazing. It really helps if you get them at the same time you do the boots. They do lift your foot a little, especially your heel. If they're in the boot while in the painful break-in period, your feet settle into the leather in that spot.

The insoles include a deep heel cup and improved arch support to assist address overpronation, commonly known as flat feet, as well as provide pain relief from common problems including plantar fasciitis and bunions. Because these insoles are thinner than many other ready-made insoles, they may be worn in a variety of shoe styles, including women’s shoes.

I am in love with these insoles! Bought these on a whim after trying every Dr Scholl's insole. I walk a minimum of 6 miles daily at work in boots, and these insoles have significantly improved my work day. I don't experience heel pain or leg pain anymore, thinking about even getting a pair for my regular shoes!
