I have the rigid kind, 3/4 length. They're tucked in under the insole of the shoe, and I don't feel them at all.

I got prescribed custom orthotics last year and never ever could get past 1 mile running in them without agonizing pain. Did the wear them in increasing increments, wear them walking and then after a few weeks of breaking in tried running...agony. $500 down the drain.
