How to stop insoles from squeaking while walking?
For anyone who wears inserts, do you get squeaky feet? I know it’s from the insole moving around in the shoe but no matter how many different kinds I use and in any kind of shoe, it’s always happening (and it’s loud and embarrassing!). I need cushioned insoles and some flexibility in my shoe for my PF. How do you stop this?Asked 2 years ago

Can anyone recommend a good insole I can use with Hoka Bondi 6 shoes?
I need an insole for a low arch and that isn’t hard as those cause me more pain. These aren’t bad shoes but getting pretty useless since they aren’t giving me the support I need so causing more pain. I tried going to a good shoe store for inserts but they just wanted to get me in a better sneaker instead. I would really love to know what kind of inserts those with low arches or even these same sneakers use.Asked 2 years ago
