Replacement Insoles for Keen Austin Shoes

I've been wearing a pair of Keen Austin shoes 5 days a week for about 2 years now.  They are by far the best shoes I've ever owned in terms of durability and comfort (for the style that they are).  However, after about 2 years, the insoles of the Keen Austin Men's shoes are about completely warn out.  

I found that perfect sized replacements Keen Austin insoles can be found on Amazon are in fact manufactured by Keen themselves.   Here they are: Keen Austin Replacement Insole

I happen to wear size 13; so went with the "X-Large" size.  In my case, the insoles were a perfect match size-wise as the original insoles found in my Keen Austin shoes and required no cutting or trimming of the replacement foot pad.   While these insoles don't look the same as the original Keen Austin Insoles, they are shaped exactly the same (the replacements are bright yellow and black).   The new keen austin replacement footbed insoles are a bit firmer than the original (the softer feeling Keen Austin replacement food pads can be found here - but I can't vouch for them).  While they are a bit firmer, I suspect they might last longer than the original keen insoles for the austin shoe.

Replacement Insoles for Rockport Garnon shoes RM1213

I have two different pairs of Oxford Style Rockport Garnon business casual shoes.  I have the lighter colored, and I think discontinued, Rockport Garnon APM78779 pictured here and also have the  Rockport Garnon Flint Oxford shoe.  In both pairs the insoles (foot padding) barely lasted a year before wearing out (especially at the big toe).  The shoes themselves are still in great shape though.  So, I went online thinking it would be easy to find replacement insoles for the rockport shoes, since the existing insole was stamped with "RM1213", and I had the model number and names for the shoes.  However, searching all over turned up no factory replacements for rockport insoles.   So, I first bought some cheapo insoles that claimed to go up to size 13 from walmart, and they flat out were too small, made of cheap padding and slid all over the inside of the shoe.

Ultimately, I took a gamble and ordered some more expensive (but reasonably priced) Dr. Scholls inserts from Amazon.  I found that Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Sport 8-13 where practically a perfect fit for my Rockport Garnon size 13 shoes.  The Doctor Scholls inserts also have good grip so that they are not sliding around in the shoe.  Its my understanding that if you have smaller shoes, the Dr. Scholls inserts can also be cut down to fit.  At $13.50 shipped, I think they are a great buy to extend the life of your Rockports. They are comfortable, but not noticeably any more comfortable than the factory inserts when they were new.
