No, but these are made of the same stuff and come rec. by the very helpful guy in my local running shop. I haven't tried them yet, but intend to :)

Yes I was having knee problems just after I took up running again. A fitness instructor recommended them and they worked a treat - no more knee problem.

Thanks Corona. I'm waiting for some to come from eBay. Glad they work for you. Hope it will be the same for me as my knees are giving me a lot of discomfort atm.

I should explain - this was about 5 years ago. I stopped running due to groin problems - it turned out that I'd torn some muscles and it took ages to get them sorted. Then I just never got back to it and am now overweight and unfit. Have just joined this site and I will definitely be buying some of these insoles before I start running again.

Hope they work for you too !
