I first discovered PORON® Cushioning insoles while I was in Japan on a business trip. I did a lot of walking, carrying my suitcase up and down stairs to get to trains, and walking several blocks to get to hotels or customers’ offices. I had a new pair of dress shoes (the only shoes I brought) and they were not breaking in well. After a few days, I was really hobbling around and my feet were hurting. Then a colleague gave me a pair of PORON insoles, so I put them in my shoes. It was immediate relief! I felt like I was like walking on air. PORON Cushioning really saved me on that trip. Now I use PORON insoles in all my shoes, especially when I am traveling.
I was a participant in the New England Ragnar Relay Series sponsored by PORON® Cushioning. The PORON® Team was handing out insoles and other products during the race and now I'm a new fan of PORON® insoles. I came home, put in my new PORON® insoles and have LOVED them. I actually use them in my boots that I wear regularly and they have made a huge difference. I feel like I can bear to walk the city much longer than I used to feel with my boots. I just wish I would've gotten another pair of inserts for my other shoes.
Thanks for being great sponsors and introducing me to PORON® materials!
Inserts made with PORON® Cushioning saved not only my running career, they saved my psychological well being. As a triathlete age grouper, my strength is catching up on the run leg. After experiencing considerable pain in both Achilles tendons during and after any kind of running, my future looked quite limited. No running? No triathlon? What else did life have to offer? Not much! I tried physical therapy, strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, and anti-inflammatories. Then my doctor suggested I try some inserts from the local New Balance store.
New Balance turned me on to the Performance Sport Cushion inserts, made with PORON® Cushioning Technology.
From the very first mile I experienced no pain, discomfort, or stiffness. It felt so good to be out running again I smiled for a week straight.
Thanks PORON® Team!
Hi folks - thanks for everything. My son loves those yellow PORON® XRD™ pads - he switched them out for his knee pads in his game pants and says they are doing great - and since he is playing offensive tackle and defensive end, he is getting hit on every play.
Keep up the great work.

I am the president of an ice sculpting business and I'm on my feet all day sculpting. I put the PORON® Cushioning insoles in my work boots which I wear all day and my running shoes which I wear all the other times of the day. I wanted to let you know that I can really feel the difference at the end of the day. They are really comfortable and changed the way my shoes feel. Somehow, they feel a lot thicker than they really are. You can feel that cushion more than you would expect. They don't seem to want to pack down like most insoles do. They are staying spongy and soft which is great for a guy like me who's on his feet all day long. I sound like an infomercial…but seriously, I love em! Let me know when I can get some more!
This past summer, I had to give up my 4 to 5 mile walks because I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. I tried many insoles. Nothing seemed to help. At one point, I was padding my sneakers with up to 1/4 inch of gel material to cushion the pain. Since I have been using your PORON insoles I have been able to continue my walks in comfort and without any pain. Thank you for your outstanding product.
I am in my early 60s and have suffered from debilitating arthritis of the hip for years. A couple of months ago, I accidentally discovered shoes with PORON® Cushioning inside. To my great surprise, the arthritis pain is 80-90% less than it was and now I will not wear shoes of any kind unless they have a PORON® Cushioning.
You have improved my quality of life to a very significant degree and I am extremely appreciative. I only wish I had discovered your product years ago.
