If you didn't read my earlier post about BzzAgent, let me fill you in. Basically, you sign up for an account on their website, and then take several surveys about different subjects, mostly items you use or purchase. Different companies will use BzzAgent to find people to test their products for free. Those people are selected based on the company's chosen demographics and their "BzzScore", which measures a member's activity on the site (the most active/influential members with higher scores get more campaigns). Your responsibilities once you receive a product are to use the product you are given, and then provide your honest feedback to others online and face-to-face, and report back to BzzAgent about your "Bzz". It sounds more complicated than it is! I have only been a member since around January, and this is my third product I've received to test, so it's pretty rewarding, in my opinion. Once you complete all the initial surveys, there really aren't that many that you need to take (maybe one new one per week).
Anyway! Included in my kit for the Dr. Scholl's High Heel Insoles: One pair of insoles (these are currently selling at walmart.com for $7.97), several coupons for $4.00 off (to share with friends), and an information packet on the Dr. Scholl's For Her line of products.
I haven't had a chance to actually test these out yet, but I took them out of the package. My first impression is that they aren't as squishy as I expected them to be, with the exception of the center, where the ball of your foot goes - there is a lot of squishy support in that area. I wish they had more thickness towards the toes, where it seems like all of your weight goes when you're walking in heels. They are adhesive - I peeled back a section of the plastic and they don't seem to be all that sticky. This could be good (maybe they can be switched in and out of different shoes) or bad (maybe they won't stay where they belong). The package does say that they can be removed without damaging your shoes. The claims are that the insoles prevent foot pain when you're wearing high heels, and remove the pressure from the ball of your foot, while being slim enough to not make your shoes feel tight.
I'll be testing these out Friday night, and I'll let you know how my feet feel on Saturday!
EDIT - So I was medium impressed with these! My feet did feel pretty comfortable even after walking to and from the club from the hotel, and dancing all night. It was kind of an unfair test, since I already had wicked blisters on my feet from walking around in Vegas for a week (wish I had these babies sooner!). I would buy them again IF I had an uncomfortable pair of shoes that I really loved... but probably not otherwise.
