rated 4.5 of 5 stars

These are by far the best Insoles I have ever owned, and I have had most on the market! You cannot beat these for customizable foot and back protection!

Pros

  • Customizable
  • Comfortable
  • Not expensive for a custom orthotic!
  • Absorbs impact very well

Cons

  • Instructions are vague, had to hunt for a video on YouTube for clear instruction
  • Website is scattered and confusing

The Gamechangers by FP Insole Technology (fpinsoles.com) were primarily designed for sKate and snowboarders to help absorb impact of trIcks from higher elevations. So when I ran across these looking for insoles for my new trail running shoes I thought, “are these really what I am looking for?” Well, after 10 miles in these, I will unequivocally say ABSOLUTELY!

These insoles are customizable, made possible by baking them in your oven at 235 degrees F for 10 minutes, throwing them in your shoes, and walking around in your shoes for 20-30 minutes. So essentially it’s a custom orthotic, for not-the-custom-orthotic price tag.

Now ”baking“ technology is not new. Some ski boots and hockey skates have been using this technology for years, and it’s amazing this hasn’t been done on consumer level orthotics in the past. But if Tony Hawk and NASA (tech used on the ISS) can endorse this product, I have to try them out…

FP Insoles have several different styles available based on your particular needs, but I opted for the Gamechangers due to the molding technology.

When you get them, they are pretty unassuming, and in fact a little odd because they are just flat. But then when you follow the videos that are available on YouTube, they are transformed into an orthotic that, in my opinion, are far superior to Superfeet, SOLE, Aetrex, and many others that I have been paying a premium for in the past. 

I am ”all in” on this product, and have since ordered two more pairs for my hiking boots and my daily shoes so I don’t have to switch my orthotic between my footwear.

Gamechangers live up to their name.

Pros

  • The website explains well why to pick between their two main insoles, the Gamechangers or the Kingfoam.
  • Heat moldable
  • Very comfortable

Cons

  • It's hard to figure out when/why you'd need the company's other products.
  • They feel "hard" when you first put them on.

I was having a really hard time getting my snowboard boots to feel comfortable. My feet would hurt and I was getting numbness in them. I looked up videos and it was suggested changing the insoles, and I read about FP Gamechangers. The very first time I used them, I had no pain. They really lived up to their name! I love that I could heat mold them to my feet, so there was virtually no breaking in period.

I'm a barefoot believer. I don't like shoes much, and I prefer to strengthen my feet instead of relying on support. So I don't like too much support, but these provide just enough to absorb impact without making me feel disconnected from my board. If you like a ton of cushion, these aren't for you (although I still recommend trying them because they're probably what you actually need!). I feel like the impact absorption of these is really what makes them so great, rather than the feeling of actual support.

Side note, I have medium to low arches. The FP Kingfoam would be better for those with high arches. This is another thing that makes me a fan of FP—they encourage you to not over support high arches, and give low arches just enough support to protect your knees and back.

Another note, they feel a bit hard when you first put them on, but they soften up as they warm up while you wear them. This is each time I put them on I notice this, but then forget almost immediately. 

I'm getting a pair for my hiking shoes, too.

I've been using these for about two months, for snowboarding. Probably 60+ runs with them.

Been using Gamechangers for years since about 2017 and nowbuse the gamechangers pro. They live up to their name. I had injured my foot jumping off a ramp and had brutal plantar fasciitis, it was unbearable and the Gamechangers instantly eliminated the pain. I really couldn't believe the effectiveness l. They basically custom formed to my arch and supported it from collapsing which was causing the pain. So I'm a firm FP believer now and it sucks not having them especially on long days.

Pros

  • The shock energy absorption plus the custom support are incredible

Cons

  • If you have narrow shoes you'll need to trim them or they'll feel cramped

I’ve been using the Gamechangers Pro for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed with the upgrade from the originalGamechangers. What really caught my attention was the Quantum Heel Technology. I’ve been doing a lot of running lately, and these insoles definitely make a difference. The heel cushioning feels like it absorbs the shock with each step, but it also bounces back, almost like a spring. It tremendously helps reduce the impact almost like I don't feel it at all when I’m on concrete, and I noticed less fatigue in my legs. They're definitely a big upgrade from the original Gamechangers which I had been using since 2017 when I got plantar fasciitis.

In terms of comfort, they’re really great. The thickness is similar to the original Gamechangers, so they’re not too bulky but still provide enough support. I use them in different shoes, from my running sneakers to some casual boots, and they fit well in all of them without causing any discomfort or squeezing my feet but you have to trim them to fit for narrow shoes.

These insoles are a game-changer for real! I was skeptical at first, but after breaking them in, they molded perfectly to my feet. The support is unreal—my arches feel solid, and my knees don’t ache after long skate sessions anymore. Seriously, if you’re on your feet a lot or need extra cushioning, get these! Worth every penny. 🔥🔥🔥

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game-Changer for Foot Support and Comfort!

I’ve tried so many different insoles over the years, but FP Insoles Gamechangers are on another level. These are the real deal when it comes to comfort and support. The custom molding process is super easy—just wear them, and they form to your feet over time. After a few days, they felt like they were made specifically for me.

The difference in impact absorption is insane. I use them for skating, and they’ve completely changed how my feet and knees feel after long sessions. No more foot pain or soreness, even after heavy landings. They also work great for everyday wear—I threw a pair in my work shoes, and now I don’t want to walk without them.

If you’re looking for incredible support, durability, and real impact protection, these are 100% worth it. Best insoles I’ve ever used!

The best insoles all around. Period.

Pros

  • - I don’t get my knees pain anymore.
  • - walking is much easier now.
  • - last long. Had them for over a year now.

Cons

  • - could be more affordable but worth paying for quality imo

I have been using FP insoles for a year and let me tell you there’s nothing better. Tried over 10 different ones. Nothing compared to FP insoles. They make my running and walking so much smoother. And I don’t get my knees pain anymore!

I went out of my way to write this review because I truly believe more people deserve to try them.

Don’t waste your time with these. They made my shoes too tight and I was worried that they were going to cause permanent damage to my feet. Customer support is lacking; they won’t honour their 90-day return policy.

Pros

  • I wasn’t able to find any strengths

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Company has awful customer support
  • Painful

These insoles are horrible… I tried them in three different pairs of shoes and they made my shoes so tight that I was worried they were going to cause permanent damage to my feet.

I really wanted to like them so I kept trying, but the last time I wore them I had to take them out of my shoes at a fancy restaurant and carry them around all night in my pocket.

I explained this to the company and that I wanted to return them under the 90-day return policy.

I’ve now gone back-and-forth three times. The reps assisting me keep telling me that I just need to give it more time, and I keep telling them that I’m absolutely not going to use them again.

Don’t bother wasting your time on these, especially if you thought the company would actually honour the return policy.

I've tried various insoles, never had this problem before.

Total Gamechanger for Foot Pain!

I used to deal with sore feet and knee pain after long days, but FP Insoles Gamechangers changed everything. The way they mold to your foot and absorb impact is insane. These are my favorite insoles right here, and I honestly can’t imagine going back to regular ones. Worth every penny!

I love these Insoles.

Pros

  • Breaking period is really short. They multi your feet so they don’t really need to be broken in. They seem to last forever. They work in all temperatures. Very affordable.

Cons

  • If you don’t know how to use a pair of scissors, I guess trimming it

They give me constant support on my arch and they seem to last forever. It doesn’t matter the temperature they perform the same. I recommend them for anybody
