Company information:
Impact Gel Insoles
United States

After ordering the Impact Gel insoles (2 pair) I realized that I was charged nearly $40.00 in shipping and handling! There is no opportunity to view the entire amount that your credit card will be charged until after your order is submitted, and then it is too late! It does state in the offer (it's buried) that you will be charged an additional $9.95 for your 'free' pair, but you have no opportunity to decline that offer even if you choose to - and there is no discount for multiple sets. I find it very hard to believe that it costs anywhere close to $40.00 to ship out a couple of sets of insoles.

So, buyer beware - don't be stupid like me - nothing is ever 'free'!

This is my last purchase of any Billy Mays advertised product.

OK folks, here is my two cents. I have had 12 knee surguries over the past 29 years. I bought these insoles after seeing them on Pitchmen. I have zero cartlidge in my right knee so I need to limit the amount of impact created by walking or running. I have spent hundreds of dollars at doctors offices getting expensive custom orthodics.

Do these insoles work? YES they do. Do they work ay better than a good pair of Dr. Scholl's you can buy at Target? NO

I can tell little difference between the two. I actually prefer my gel pair from Dr. Scholl's better for my sneakers and dress shoes that I wear everyday. I think that I paid $17.99 for the Dr. Scholl's from Target. And with Target, they have them in stock and you dont have to wait or pay for S & H charges.

However, I prefer the Impact Gels in my snowboard boots. For whatever reason, they seem to fit better in my boot for comfort.

I hope this info helps.

The ad states it's $19.99 (basically $20) + $9.99 s/h (simplified to $10) & you get a 2nd set free by paying seperate shipping (also $9.99 (simplified to $10)) - For those complaining they were charged more, you may want to take this into consideration... do you live in a state where your order is required to have tax added? If so, it may add up to more than the quoted $40.00.

Always read all available info prior to placing/confirming an order ANYWHERE online. It is not this sites fault if you misunderstand the amount you expected to be charged unless it is somehow misrepresented.

Hi tpaulrossi I see you perfer Dr. Scholl's. I have been using Dr. Scholl's for a long time but they tend to wear out I was wondering if you or anyone else knows if impact gel insoles wear out or are they better in the long run like a year later?

The Impact Gels DON'T feel any different from the Dr. Scholl's gel insoles. Stick with the cheaper Dr. Scholl's, which are in fact BETTER if you ask me.

The thing that gets me about the Impact Gel people: The website said "Buy 2, Get 2 Free", but in reality, they made me pay for the extra soles by charging me $20 for "Shipping & Handling." (Mind you, the soles come in a cheap padded yellow envelop.)

*** BOTTOM LINE: You know THEY KNOW it's sneaky and unethical when they DO NOT show you the final total until AFTER you hit Submit and the order is complete! They know that once you see the S&H charge is $20, there's a good chance you'd cancel the order!! The way they do business just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. If they continue to do business the way they are, they're going to go out of business!!!
