Why Running Enthusiasts Are Switching to Remind Insoles

With running season in full swing and race calendars filling out the rest of the year and well into 2026 (we were just at Run Travis, Run in LA—anyone else?), we've noticed that more and more runners are starting to ask the same question: Do I really need better insoles? 

If you’ve been logging long miles, battling foot pain, or prepping for a big event like a marathon or longer—trust me, the answer is yes. And after thousands of training miles and a handful of ultras, I can say with full confidence: Remind Insoles are the best insoles for long-distance running, hands down.

I swapped my stock insoles for Remind nearly three years ago, and I’ll never go back. Here’s why:

Unmatched Comfort for Every Mile

Finding the right running insoles makes a bigger difference than most people realize. Remind Insoles deliver multi-layered cushioning that absorbs foot strike impact and eases pressure—especially over long distances. Whether I’m putting in a casual 10-mile training loop or cruising through the final stretch of an ultra, that extra comfort adds up. The shock absorption is real, and it relieves the kind of wear and tear that can sideline runners.

If you're running marathons or ultra-marathons, Remind does more than cushion—they make the day smoother. Running shouldn’t feel like fighting through pain, and with Remind, it doesn’t.

Arch Support that Actually Works

Let’s talk arch support. Every long-distance runner knows how brutal it can be when your feet start to collapse mid-run. Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, sore heels—you don’t want any part of that. Remind Insoles support your feet anatomically, which means they’re designed to match the natural shape of your arch and hold your foot in proper alignment mile after mile.

I've personally dealt with plantar fasciitis and common foot issues in the past, but since switching to Remind, those problems have faded into the background. Whether you’re low-arch, neutral, or high-arch—there’s a Remind insole for your foot type.

Built to Last: Durable and Cost-Effective

One of the biggest complaints about running insoles: they break down too fast. Not these. Remind Insoles are built with premium materials made to withstand the repetitive pounding of daily training and race day efforts alike. I’ve used the same pair through hundreds of miles across road and trail, and they still feel solid.

They’ve even made old shoes feel brand new again. Instead of dropping $150+ on a fresh pair of trainers, I’ve dropped in a pair of Reminds and kept running—saving money and saving shoes.

Trail-Proven, Road-Ready

I'm personally a trail-run-first kind of guy. Roots? Rocks? Water crossings? Bring it on. But whether you’re tackling technical terrain or sticking to city sidewalks, Remind adapts. Every model—from Destin to Medic and beyond—offers the stability and impact absorption needed to handle pounding pavement or unpredictable trails.

That means smoother downhill descents. Better footing on loose dirt. Less fatigue on long road runs. Same insole. Same performance. Every condition.

Reduced Fatigue, Faster Recovery

By supporting proper foot alignment and reducing impact, Remind Insoles help you feel fresher for longer—and bounce back quicker afterward. Seriously, they don’t just help during a run, they also make the post-run soreness and swelling noticeably lighter.

Recovery matters just as much as the run itself, and better insoles equal better recovery. I’ve felt it after 50Ks and even short shakeout runs. Less pain. More efficiency. Faster reset.

Scientifically Designed for Runners

Remind Insoles are not just another piece of foam. They’re grounded in biomechanics and designed to correct the root cause of foot pain while improving performance. Everything from the arch contour to the heel cup is engineered to enhance alignment, reduce stress, and improve stride efficiency.

With four models—Cush, Destin, Medic, and Remedy—you can match your insole to your arch type, foot shape, or running style. It’s not one-style-fits-all. It’s wear-what-you-need.

Trusted by Runners Everywhere

Don't take my word for it—check the reviews. Runners across all levels—novice to ultra-endurance—are reporting everything from reduced plantar fasciitis pain to improved running posture and smoother long-run sessions. That’s not hype. It’s legit feedback from real feet hitting real ground. And include me on that list.

Final Thoughts

If you’re training for a marathon, trail race, ultra, or just racking up miles for fun—stop running in stock insoles. Remind is your solution for foot pain relief, better support, improved comfort, and the kind of durability long-distance runners actually need.
