2 week update: Wow...I'd say that my knee is at least 80% better. Tonite I ran 5 and really had very minimal twinges of anything wrong and mostly only going down hills. I wager that in another week my knee will be almost fully healed. I am totally sold on these things. I ordered a pair of greens just to compare to the berry ones, and to not have to continuously be switching insoles out every time I rotate my shoes (currently have 3 pair in heavy rotation).

Zoom-Zoom, how are the greens working out?! My favorite shoe just got "updated" and though it claims to be a neutral cushion it is really a mild stability shoe in disguise. My new shoes are nice, but don't offer enough in the way of comfort for me, and I am having a little foot pain. I am thinking the green ones for me, but was curious as to how they have worked out for you. There is no dealer in my area (according to the Superfeet website-just to verify I called all the local running stores, nada!)...so I am looking for as much info on the web as I can before purchasing from the website. If anyone else in the Indy area reads this and knows of someplace to get them, can you please let me know? Thanks all!

As for your needs...I'm not sure whether Superfeet would be a good option for you. Sounds like you need less stability, not more. In your shoes (ha) I think I'd be looking for a new shoe, unfortunately.
I thought some of the Superfeet were for cushioning, not necessarily motion control. Damn. I feel like I have tried every cushioning/neutral shoe out there and none of them feel good due to lack of cushioning (Oh, except my Nimbus VIII's, which don't exist anymore). Crap.
Have you ever tried the Sof Sole insoles? Their Arch and Athlete models add a lot of cush, but no stability. I LOVED those in my shoes before my knee issues started up.
I have never tried any insoles but will give these a try, thank you!
De-slacking in progress
This web site just cost me $35 !!! ( but that's ok- I've received $1,000's of free advice) I run all country backroads and have developed PF issues, and after reading the multiple posts about Superfeet Green I stoppped at the store on the way to work today and bought a pair. Will be using them in the morning. I'm praying they work for me in curing what ails me just like the rest of you proclaimed. I'll give them 2 weeks and report back....

I tried my Superfeet Greens on Friday. I took our the insoles in my Brooks Beasts and put in the Superfeet. I ran 7.5 miles and they killed my knees. I went back to the Brook insoles and ran with the them for 9 miles on Sunday. It was much better. Maybe the superfeet don't work so well in motion control shoes??

Richard, I had the same problem, and pronate probably as bad as you do on my left foot. I have tried all kinds of things to "fix" my feet.... I give up. I just run. I figure If I toughen up my muscles enough, all the other crap will work itself out..... Hope I am right!
