Happy Monday! It's supposedly spring, but here in NYC the weather has remained cold and dreary. Which is why I was more than delighted to come home today to find the new pair of Sauconys I ordered had arrived! I usually run in Asics, but the updated models just don't fit the same and I needed something new.
If you're a runner, you probably find yourself in this predicament a lot. Due to high mileage, you may need to replace shoes fairly often and it can get frustrating when model updates change the fit of the shoe. Back in October my awesome doctor recommended that I run with insoles to provide a little more comfort, support and stability, no matter what type/brand of shoe I wear. I thought this was a great idea because it's also a cheap and easy way to extend the life of my running shoes. I've been using a pair of Powerstep insoles for awhile now, but was very excited when the lovely folks at OrthoLite offered to send me a pair of their Fusion insoles to review.
So what did I think?
I've gone on a few runs in these insoles and have to say they're pretty good. I immediately noticed the "update" and my shoes felt new again! You can custom fit the OrthoLite Fusion insoles to any running shoe brand or size by simply removing the current insole, lining them up next to each other and cutting them into the proper shape. I really like that adding the insole to my shoe doesn't impact the fit of the shoe in other ways. These insoles are definitely softer and more flexible than my Powerstep insoles, but they provide similar cushioning and support. Here's a little more info on the insoles:

These insoles are definitely softer and more flexible than my Powerstep insoles, but they provide similar cushioning and support. Here's a little more info on the insoles:
· Designed to fit all athletic and outdoor shoes or boots
· Breathable: Air circulates in and around the insole, leaving the foot cooler and drier
· Moisture Wicking: Unique insole structure moves moisture away from your foot
· Retains Structure: Unlike many of the insoles on the market that go flat, unique spring-back technology ensures your insole will retain over 95% of its thickness over time
· Anti-Microbial: Patented formulation fights fungus, bacteria and odor
· Lightweight: Insoles provide cushioning and optimum performance without adding weight to the shoe
· Fully washable
· Availability: Available for purchase on OrthoLite.com for $19.99/pair
· Benefits Athletes: For every pair of Fusion insoles purchased, OrthoLite will donate $1 to the Level Field Fund, a grant-giving program that bridges gaps in funding to uniquely talented athletes
