I have several pairs but I've been using some a year and they still seem good.

It would all depend how much you use,the shoes. I have mine in my athletic shoes that I use to walk and run three times a week for several miles. I have had them for about 2 years like that and they show no sign of deterioration.

I would say one year but I have used them longer. I have them in every boot or shoe I own since I don't like switching them out.

Didn't have to use them that long. I do know someone who had the same ones and replaces them every year. THat is why I chose these.

I have them in all my shoes and work boots. I would say safely a year. Between my two sets of work boots I get almost 2 years before I feel the need to buy new ones. My husband used to have custom orthotics and he too has switched to these.

Older model would last about a year in often used walking shoes, then you would notice it starts losing cushioning. New model is not good at all from the start and since I just got it can not say how long these will last. I will look for another brand for my next pair.

These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles. I think I've had them for like 8 months in my badminton shoes and they are still in good shape. The top is showing a little ware, but that's nothing, when you compare them to the older blue foam bottom models which I would burn holes clear through within a matter of months. (They still give support where I need it, though, so I still use several older pairs in my other shoes, despite them having multiple large holes in each one.) Just make sure you get the newer model with the green rubber bottom. These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles.

The vest should last about a year or so depends on how rough u and if ur running full pods hope this helps

I've used mine nearly every day, several hours at a time, for perhaps 5 years. They are falling apart now and I am back at Amazon to order another pair!

Homedics last so much longer, they are made better than other models. For me, Homedics lasted 10 years, the others 1-2 years. Worth the money

I purchased a pair back in September for my 12 year old daughter. She used them in her daily school tennis shoes. The first week of November, she showed me one that just shredded. So that was only 2 months after purchase. On their website its has a 30 day return policy for manufacture defects. I assume they should last at least a year with normal use. Not quite sure what happened to my daughters set. I did end up ordering 2 new sets. Basically depends how rough the user is on them.

Not sure what you mean by metatarsal support. the arch support in the middle is very supportive and it last me about 5 months. I am about 40pds over weight and work on concrete floors and go up and down stairs all day and the inserts are very cushioned, I can normally tell when they are worn out because my feet will start hurting. I hope this helps.

JCSF that is a great question, as I have that same problem and hate it! I am kind of picky about insoles, but I have found that the Dr Scholl's Active or Athletic series of insoles work the best for me in my workout, hiking, fashion boots, and even some of my fashion shoes and booties. Your feet stay cool, have great support, and comfort for those full days on your feet. FYI socks with all cotton, wool, or a wool blend will also help with keeping your feet cool and dry. They make thin, cute wool socks now a days. Good luck to you.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

A little goes a long way. Depending on the wear and abuse of your boots, I would think of months or years instead of number of times. In other words, you'll get your money's worth with Sno Seal.

They seem to hold up pretty well with heavy, daily abuse. I would give them 2 years tops, but hey it's way cheaper that what the doctor wanted to prescribe. Once you get the first pair, they will send you a promotion to buy more at a discounted rate....If they seem to work for you(give it a week to break it and notice the difference) get more so you minimize the wear on one. It also depends on you body weight, extent or extremity of use and type/purpose of footwear.

I doubt it. I took out the original foam insole- inserted these and the fit did not change. In other words after using 5 or more pairs of these the same way the insole has not changed the size of the shoe. Hope this makes sense. Most insoles seem thin and one of the really nice things about these is they are very effective in cushioning my old feet. I am packing too much weight and these really help even tho they are not real thick. Most of the thin ones are worthless after a few days. You might try stacking a couple of cheap foam ones under a good pair of liners like these?? Good luck. Trapper

I would buy them in a size 8. I wear a size 9.5 and bought the size 9 insole. I removed the insole that came with my shoe, and replaced it with the aetrex insole. This insole has really helped my foot problem.

You know I really have not kept track. I'm on my 4th pair, and it's been 15 years, anyway. My first pair was a half length one, and it's still in a pair of hiking shoes I don't wear that often. The second pair pretty much disintegrated before I got another pair, and the third pair is in my work shoes. I do wear things out pretty completely, but I feel confident saying that for me, a pair will last in good shape for the better part of 3 years. Wish I could find a pair of shoes that last that long.

Definitely, and they should last longer that way, although they'll be a bit trickier to place in the right spot. You want the front edge to stop just BEHIND your MTP joints. You'll feel it more in the arch of the foot, and you'll think it's in the wrong place, but it's not.

I have had mine for about a year. I use them on a pair of shoes that I love, and pretty much wear every day, and they have held up well. I suspect that they'll outlast my fraying shoes at this point.

A few minutes to about a half hour...your choice. It is wonderful and has really helped my feet.

I'm guessing that these would not last long on the bottom of shoes. Since they are so reasonably priced, you don't have much to lose to give it a try.
