Who remembers the long string of "Are you gellin'?" commercials a few years back?! That is the first thing I thought of when I got invited to my newest BzzCampaign through BzzAgent. Of course I accepted it and very impatiently waited by my mailbox for a little over a week. Haha.
Hold on... a BzzCamp-WHAT? And you are a BzzAg-WHAT?
Oh! Good question. For those of you that don't know, I am a BzzAgent. A BzzAgent is a person who recieves products for review through the BzzAgent website. Companies who want exposure as well as insight on what people think of their products contact BzzAgent and set up a campaign. A BzzCampaign will include a set amount of BzzKits. Each campaign has a different BzzKit depending on the companies products and needs. For example a BzzKit may include a free product and some money saving coupons, or it may have a coupon for a free or highly discounted product. BzzCampaigns usually come with coupons for the product to share with your friends and family.
Once you get invited to a campaign, and accept it, your kit is on its way. You try out the products, review them and share your thoughts with everyone you know. The good, the bad, and the ugly... wether you love it or hate it BzzAgent encourages you speak what is truly on your mind. As you all know, I always speak my mind when it comes to telling you what I think of products.
If you like trying new products and reviewing them I highly suggest you sign up to be a BzzAgent.

Inserting and Preparing
These inserts are one size fits all and I was super nervous about them fitting correctly. They are to be cut to size by cutting along one of a few guidelines. They were slightly difficult to cut evenly because the gel was moving and bouncy.
They came out slightly uneven, but wearable. I would suggest that they just make them in standard 5-12 precut sizes. This would save both time and aggravation.

The wear...
I love my shoes, and I only quite a collection. I do not usually wear inserts, except for rainboots which for some reason give me shin pain. The inserts I use are foam though. I have had a lot of luck with the foam because they are easy to find, cheap and I can replace them instead of trying to clean them.
I have chickens and walking through their pen is a very messy experience. I am in rainboots for around a half and hour to an hour a day. Walking through grass, dirt, mud, water, hay, etc...
I did not notice any shin pain after switching to these gel inserts, however I do not think I will be repurchasing them. I found that my socks would stick to the inserts, even though the gel side is down and the cloth part is facing your sock. The combination of heat seemed to break down the inserts and cause them to tear and pucker in strange uneven areas.
The heel and ball of the foot have textured waves cut into them, and I found that the extra space in between caused too much "bounce" or give when I was walking. Also, the inserts are kind of thick in the heel which caused my boots to fit funny. I really need a comfortable and sturfy fit in my boots because I am using them in a "farm type" setting.

Overall
Overall these inserts felt really nice, but broke down rather quickly. If you have the money to spend on replacing inserts often, or do not wear your uncomfortable shoes often then I would definitely recommend these to you.
Unfortunately for my needs these inserts were not ideal. I can see these working great in loafer type shoes or in enclosed work type dress shoes for an office or retail job.
I do not recommend these for manual labor type jobs because of the instability feeling I got from them.
