Superfeet BERRY Women's Comfort High Arch Support and Forefoot Cushion Orthotic Insoles for Anti-fatigue,

Superfeet BERRY Women's Comfort High Arch Support and Forefoot Cushion Orthotic Insoles for Anti-fatigue, Womens, Berry, Large/E: 10.5-12 US US Womens

I recently developed plantar fasciitis and I have constant pain in one of my feet. I started doing some research about solutions to my problem when I came across Superfeet.

After, reading some of the reviews I purchased the Berry for women. Wow! This was a God send because my pain was gone instantly when I used these insoles! The second I placed them into my work shoes my pain disappeared and I was able to walk without pain.

I still stretch my feet nightly and use some kind of rolling device under my feet to further help to stretch my plantar fascia to alleviate the pain. The combination of the stretching and using Superfeet Berry has definitely helped with the pain of dealing with plantar fasciitis. I’ve discovered an inexpensive trick to help reduce the inflammation and stretch my plantar fascia at the same time. Use any empty plastic bottle and fill it with water. Freeze the bottle overnight and after work, use it to stretch the plantar fascia and reduce the inflammation all at the same time. I hope you love Superfeet Berry as much as I do.

I literally can't explain to you why these work so well. To be honest, when I opened the box, I thought I'd been ripped off because they really don't look like they'd do much of anything. I'm a vet tech who is on her feet for a minimum of 10 hours per day and have stupidly high arches. I've tried nearly every insole on the market with only temporary relief. My boss recommended these and they are 1 of 2 insoles out there that have given any kind of lasting relief. My knees, ankles, and arches aren't even a little sore at the end of a 12+ hour day. Highly recommend. Guess I learned to not judge a book by the cover!

I'm a 30somethung fit runner and teacher so I'm on my feet all day. In February of 2017 I had a meniscus tear repair and also learned that I developed early osteoarthritis. After my post surgery recovery I asked my orthopedic surgeon what would be the best way to maintain my podiatric health and she recommend these insoles and Asics or Brooks sneakers. She even said that they will extend the life of a pair of shoes by 1 year as it's usually the insoles that get worn out. She's on her feet all day as a surgeon and runner herself. She even let me try on her shoes that had the same insoles in them and walk around. I immemdiately felt the relief and support and purchased them soon as my appointment was done. I have since used them in every pair of running and walking sneakers I own and have felt amazingly much better. It even helps with my overpronation, thus minimizing the amount of shock to my knees, feet, back, hips etc.

Just what I needed for plantar fasciitis! My podiatrist recommended them. They come in 4 choices of arch help. Amazon only carries 2 of the choices. They were a better price on Amazon than in the shoe stores or at the podiatrist.

I was in so much pain, I could barely walk by the end of the day. I was told I needed surgery because of my heel spurs and plantar fascitis. Went to another podiatrist for a second opinion. He told me about Superfeet. They saved me from having surgery and enabled me to walk pain free. My gait was off from months of walking with extreme pain, so I my body needed time to adjust to the proper support of the insoles. In less than a week the pain was gone. I couldn't believe it. I truly can't say enough about this product. I suggest going to a shoe store first to be sure you're getting the appropriate type. Once you know what size to get, you can reorder these as needed. I'm on my feet all day at work and mine last about 6-8 months of constant wear.

  • FIT PROFILE: Medium volume / Medium profile (Volume refers to the amount of space the insole will take up in your shoe. Profile is how much shape you can expect to feel under your foot)
  • REINFORCED STABILIZER CAP: the base of the insole that supports the rearfoot and provides structure and stability to the foam layer
  • DEEP HEEL CUP: features a deep, narrow heel cup that helps support the foot during high-impact activities and long distances
  • SUPERFEET SHAPE: designed with a slimmer heel and an arch length to fit the female foot, the signature Superfeet shape helps stabilize and support the foot, which can help reduce stress on feet, ankles and knees
  • HIGH-IMPACT FOAM FOREFOOT: provides greater shock absorption during high-impact activities like walking, running, or playing on hard, unforgiving surfaces

Description

Exceptional orthotic support for women who want a little more spring in their step. SUPERFEET BERRY insoles feature a resilient, high-impact foam forefoot and unmistakable Superfeet shape and legendary support. Designed to fit women’s running shoes, hiking boots and everyday footwear, the result is an insole that can take a pounding so your feet don’t have to.



Our local athletic shoe store recommended Superfeet for my XC/Track team high school daughter when she was upgrading her shoes. She really loved them, and she even won a few races! Not long after, I bought a pair of Superfeet. I am no athlete and I don't run. But I do walk a few miles 4-5x a week. Amazingly, they lasted more than 3 years and still hardly show any signs of wear. And I'm still using them! I recently bought an expensive pair of ASICS as well as a new pair of SuperFeet (berry) to go inside. The inserts that come with most athletic shoes are cheaply made. Pull it out and take a close look. I don't have any knee or back issues so I can't comment on that, but I can comment on how good the support is. I will be buying more Superfeet in the future as needed. Amazon's price is the same as my local athletic shoe store.

Recommended by a co-worker, even though I've had my eyes on these for awhile. They are amazing to wear. My feet still hurt at the end of the day, but while they are on there is no pain. My incredible knee pain has gone away as well.

Excellent support for over pronation. What I like about the Superfeet Berry is that it is made specifically for a woman's foot - it has a slimmer heel and an arch length that fits the proportions of the female foot.. I used to wear the unisex Superfeet Blue, but the Berry works must better for me. I have a narrow heel and medium arches.The first Superfeet insole I tried, was the green. Those were very uncomfortable to me as they are made for people with high arches. I use the Superfeet Berry in my athletic shoes. They fit perfectly. The best thing about the Berry insole is the deep heel cup which really helps with my Planter Faciitis.

So I bought these and the green ones since I wasn't sure which I would prefer. The green ones have a much higher arch...almost too high. These were much better suited to my foot and have been amazing arch support. Highly recommend. They gave new life to my running shoes.

I have purchased the green Superfeet in the past, for running shoes, and loved them. I recently bought some tennis shoes for wearing around town. They were uncomfortable so I thought I'd try these since they are specifically fit for a woman's foot. I have only had them a week and so far they are great. Superfeet are my go to insert. I don't even need to try any other brand. They are pricey and I would say that is the only downside. I would definitely recommend and purchase for myself again in the future.

Archival Methods 61-002 White Cotton Gloves Large 12

Archival Methods 61-002 White Cotton Gloves Large 12 Pairs

Archival Methods 61-002 White Cotton Gloves Large 12 Pairs

To answer a few concerns I've read in other reviews:

The size isn't right. Put them on and make a fist - they'll stretch.

They're thin. That's right, that makes it easy to handle negatives and pictures.

They shrink. I wouldn't know - they get dirty so I throw them away. They're just a buck a pair.

These are NOT for overnight moisturizing, changing the oil in your car, building a barbed wire fence, or really anything but handling photos and negatives.

They are virtually LINT-FREE and keep smudges off your scanner glass, photos, and negatives. For that, they're a great product at a good price.

I found these gloves to be thinner than I had expected. When I wear them I can easily see the color of my skin right through the gloves. I personally would not use these gloves when handling metal antiques due to risk of skin oils and perspiration transferring through the gloves and onto the surface of the antique. Instead, I will use the gloves for handling of photographs and turning pages of antiquarian books. For handling of metal antiques, I would recommending getting the Archival Methods gloves that are heavyweight with seams. The ones I received (item 61-002) are the medium weight type.

I've been using these to sort, scan, and file film negatives and prints. The gloves fit me and my assistants just fine but, until you wash them, they shed fibres pretty heavily. The issue with this is that a) they shrink, and b) they aren't sturdy enough and begin falling apart. I'll probably buy them again when I need more - but now I know what to expect at this price.

If you handle rare coins, old books, antiques of any description or valuable collectibles you probably know fingers can leave oil, acid or dirt deposits that can adversely affect value.
Archival Methods white cotton gloves are an ideal solution. At under a dollar per pair they are truly a wise investment. Put on a pair and you can safely handle your items without fear of contamination. They are thin enough to allow you flexibility. They are inert and will not harm your valuables. Washable so they can be reused multiple times.
A must-have for the serious collector, archivist or curator.

I ordered the large version of these gloves which came in three days after I purchased the item. The only thing I would be worried about is that I ordered the large gloves but I received the extra large gloves, but this was of benefit to me as the XL gloves fit just right and the large gloves would've been to small. I would recommend these to anyone that is doing some scanning of film or precious documents. They feel like a 100% cotton tee-shirt does and they do their job as described.

  • White Cotton Gloves - Large - Package of 12 Pairs

Description

Enabling the safe handling of photographs, negatives, prints, documents, artworks, and other items, this 12-pack of Cotton Inspection Gloves from Archival Methods helps to prevent naturally occurring finger oils from contacting, and potentially damaging, your delicate items. These size large gloves are made from medium-weight bleached cotton. The gloves are machine washable and air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage.



I consider theses gloves to be a good product fo the price. They are not dress gloves, which dissapointed one reviewer but they are good "work gloves" appropriate for handling photographic negatives. They do stretch a bit more than I would prefer but the nylon version solves that issue, at a cost, if it is a problem. If moistenened and run through the dryer, these cotton gloves resume their shape, so using a few pairs a day and laundering them, works pretty well if you wish to maintain a more snug fit.

These pure cotton gloves, made in Sri Lanka, are exactly what they are supposed to be, and will do their job reliably, even in warm conditions because they will be cool, healthy and comfortable, where synthetic fabrics would not. The cotton is sufficiently lightweight and close-fitting for fine work and a touch screen will respond through this material.

My wife does scrap booking and ancestry stuff. She's always working with old photographs and certificates and these gloves are perfect for her. Let's her handle what she needs to without worrying about skin oils damaging the items.

I guess you could wash them to clean them, but at this price point, why bother? Just use another pair.

Just right for my largish hands when I'm printing and otherwise working with photographs.

Oddly, though I ordered the "Large" gloves, and the label outside the package says "Large", the label *inside* the package says "X-LARGE".

I received these gloves very quickly. They are even better than described. I have a large hand, 7 and 1/2 or 8, and these fit perfect. I received 2nd and 3rd degree burns from an oxygen tank that fell over and started spewing. I carried it out of the house as quickly as I could but suffered frostbite burns as a result . These cotton gloves feel so good because of the natural fiber. They "breath" while also protecting my injured hand. I highly recommend this seller and this product.

The North Face Men's Etip Glove, TNF Black,

The North Face Men's Etip Glove, TNF Black, XL

The North Face Men's Etip Glove, TNF Black, XL

Let me start by saying I live in the Carolinas so our winters are mild compared to other places. That said, these gloves are perfect for winters down here in the Carolinas. What I love most about these are they have enough insulation to keep my hands warm but are not thick like most inter gloves. You can actually carry your latte without fear of spilling it because of your think oversized winter gloves!

There really isn’t anything magical about these gloves other than their sheer effectiveness in keeping your hands warm. If you care about style, these gloves will probably work for you. They are pretty minimalist in the way they look and I guess they can go with most outfits (again I don’t know anything about style).

Buy these gloves ispf you are looking for a minimally invasive pair of winter gloves that keeps your hands warm but allows you to still use them

This is my second pair. I lost my original pair after couple of years of regular use.

I used the original pair primarily when walking outside when it was cold or cool...

They fit perfect ( not too tight nor loose ).

I wear XL...

The etips work very good on smartphone touch screens...

The seller was very credible, honest and I'd buy from them again.

I kind of love these gloves. Great for keeping hands warm when active since I usually get clammy when hiking, biking, uphill skinning, etc. They are good in cold even with moderate wind. Dexterity is good enough to pack up camp in the snowy cold without having to take them off all morning, huge plus. Touch screen compatibility is also great. I pair them with a heavier set of gloves in case I find my hands going into the snow a lot. Haven't used them a ton on rock. Some contact has been ok so far, but I would probably use gloves with more durable fingertips if doing that all day.

I was looking for some gloves to use as liners for snowboarding that can also be worn by themselves on warmer days. The nice thing is that they are comfortable and fit snug. They also work with smart phones so you don't have to take them off. They are fairly warm and work well for a multipurpose glove. My only complaint is the length of the fingers. I have long narrow hands so it's difficult to find gloves that are narrow enough with fingers that are long enough. They work, but I wish the fingers sleeves were designed for longer fingers.

Update: So I've spent more time with these gloves and I found something else I don't care for. Half of the palm/fingers have a material on them in a pattern that is supposed to improve traction for grip. The problem is it isn't a rubbery material, it's more of a plastic or screen printed material. It doesn't add to the grip and is really just a waste. Overall not horrible gloves, but not perfect either.

Bought these for my girl friend who seems to be allergic to the very thought of being cold. She is very happy with them, they work great with her phone, they keep her hands warm when driving a cold car and while walking to class on cold winter mornings. Alot of the reviews state that they are not warm at all, that they wished they had not had bought them, I say BULL! Are they super warm? No, but if you purchase these with the intentions of surviving a plane wreck in the Alaskan wilderness in January, then you are going to be sorely disappointed. They are good, light weight, non-water proof gloves that do exactly what good, light weight, non-water proof gloves should do. If you are interested, i would give em a shot.

Great gloves. I'm a lot attendant at a car dealership and they're perfect for that, since I'm always being called or texted from someone inside. The mostly-polyester construction means they're smooth enough to easily get in and out of my pockets, and I can pick up small hardware like screws and things off of the wet pavement easily. Hand tools present no problem either. They're not meant to be work gloves, but for light duty they're a lot better than my old leather ones on account of the tactile advantage of the thinner material. As far as warmth goes, I have poor circulation in my hands anyway and in these gloves my fingers will tend to start getting chilly if it's brutally cold outside, but really if my fingers only get a little chilly, then considering the thickness of the material I'd say they're working very very well.

I can use my phone or tablet with these on no problem. The only drawback is that only the palm side material can function on the touchscreen. Pretty logical I agree but when I'm trying to operate my phone with just my thumb it gets a little cumbersome. My thumb tends to be on the screen on its side and not making as much contact with the etip material to operate the screen.

Pros: Most comfy gloves ever, can work touch screen electronics, phones etc with theses, soft yet well fitted.
My son loves these!
Cons: My son has lost his 2nd pair before he even had them a week!

Favorite every day gloves. I even wear them under snowboard mittens so I can take those off on the hill, use my phone, and not have my hands exposed to the elements.

The Ives fit well and work great. I've heard people complain about other brands and I really hear no complaints in these gloves. They are lightweight so you can't use them in sub 20F degree weather but that's fine. I don't want to use phone then anyway until I'm inside. The fit is good and I have long fingers. I just have to make sure the fingers are all the way on and not twisted.

These are still pretty new and haven't been washed at all yet. I'm about to wash them for the first time so we will see how they do with that.
