I just switched to the Specialized inserts for my 6 y.o. Adidas shoes (12-1/2 US sizing,) the old insoles were mashed beyond flat by my gunboat feet. The BG fit guy at our LBS checked my feet out and then used the board with some type of film on it that showed the spots where your foot pressed in and the various differences in the pressure. These have made an old pair of shoes feel new and great again. There are different inserts for the various foot types out, instep height or lack thereof is also considered (I have a very high instep, overly rigid foot.) I recommend these inserts highly, as well as having a person that is familiar with the Specialized systems to help you get the correct ones. Unless you have Rx orthotics I would think these are an optimal choice for some of us.

I cannot stand a bulky insole or sock, feels like every bunch or seam is cutting into my feet. I agree with the good socks though, wool that is correctly loomed and thinner is my first choice but the offerings are getting less and less. I found a Cannondale wool sock at our LBS last year but I understand it was discontinued, that figures, I purchased the only pair they had on the wall in my size. Any recommendations in that area would be appreciated. Sorry for the hijack.

Can you tell us more about the inserts you mentioned Terex?
