Hello, everyone!
Today’s review is about Scholl Gel Activ Women’s Flat Shoes Insoles. I was so impressed with Scholl Party Feet Invisible Gel Cushions that I wanted to buy a pair of insoles as well. We tend to walk a lot, especially during vacations. If we are doing a city tour, it can go up to 20 km a day. So having something like this would ease the walking and make it a pleasure. In a few more days, we fly to Portugal and I want to make the best use of these insoles during the trip. I plan to use these with a pair of sneakers. I have a pair of sneakers which are not true to size. They are a little loose and I don’t like to wear thick socks when the weather is not so cold. So this pair could serve the purpose of making the sneakers fit snug and also ease walking. So here we go with the review.
Price: £11.99 for a pair

My Experience with Scholl Gel Activ Women’s Flat Shoes Insoles:
The packaging is good and secure. It comes in a cardboard box with a transparent cover on top. One can see the texture and color of the product. Inside it is a pair of transparent insoles. The insoles have a sticky side which is protected with a thin film. The insole actually sticks inside the shoe and does not budge or slip. Of course, you can re-apply it in the case of error but you know how irritating it can be. Since the insoles are transparent, no one will notice them when you take off the shoes.
The shoes feel extremely comfortable with these insoles in them. These feel quite like cushions for the feet. This version of the insole is targeted especially for flat shoes. As I mentioned above, I have used these in my sneakers. Since sneakers are closed, it was a little difficult to lay these insoles. Hence, I first removed the existing insole of the shoe and then stuck the Scholl insole. My sneakers felt snugger and more comfortable with these insoles.
Since the material is a gel type, it feels extremely soft and provides extra comfort. The best part is that you can use this pair on another pair of shoes too. The product also lasts a long time. Of course, it depends on the intensity of usage too. Lastly, it does not crowd toes.
Here come the negatives: the insoles cannot be washed. One has to wipe it with a wet cloth and these should be air dried before reusing. It’s getting very cold here and I used this pair inside my boots once. I was wearing boots the entire day and my feet were sweating a little. This can easily lead to stinky shoes. I hate stinky shoes and decided not to use this pair with boots. I would use it in case I stay outdoors the whole day in winter. I am sure it will keep my feet warm. 😉
