I've been testing them in one of my favorite pair of work shoes and find them to provide extra support when I'm really on the run. Usually, after 8 hours my feet are achy and a bit sore but with the Gel Activ product I can go a few hours more without discomfort and that is a plus! You can snag a pair of these at Target for $9.99 and walk in comfort all day! Special thanks to @Crowdtap and Amope for this FREE goodie!
