I bought this at the advice of my podiatrist who recommended a carbon fiber insole to help stiffen the shoe when I walk. After having surgery a few years ago my right foot has always been affected by a gait abnormality where I would put pressure on the side of the foot while walking. This issue sometimes causes my ankle to roll when depressing inside a normal shoe and with normal, more malleable, insoles. I learned to live with it and have gotten around with the issue but my podiatrist told me about carbon fiber insoles that help to keep the shoe stiffer which could help someone like me keep a more solid base while walking and prevent the ankle roll issue.
And honestly, this may be one of the best purchases I made. It was less than half the price of what I would have had to pay using a medical supply store, and it does exactly what it should: provides a stiffer shoe and a more stable base.
When underneath a regular insole, I don't even notice a comfort difference. It's so lightweight that there's no difference to the weight of the shoe either. It made such an instant difference for my issue and my only regret is not knowing about it sooner!
