Where can I get extra Nike arch cookies? They no longer make them, and I can't wear their shoes without them.

Nike so wisely chose to quit producing the 2 cent pieces of styrofoam arch supports that they used to provide with all running shoes. A very select few, like me, can't use Nike shoes without this little bit of extra support. I can buy $35 insoles, but I'd sure rather have the cheap pieces of styrofoam. Nike couldn't help me, so maybe someone here knows of a specific place where I can get them.

It's really a shame that Nike decided to remove the arch supports. 2 cents x ~100,000 shoes = $$. Unfortunately, arch cookies are not exactly popular items that you can buy. The only place I could find on the web are the the first link below. I cannot say whether it is a reputable website at all, so there is a significant risk there. Alas, they are not at eBay..





I know that it's a hard pill to swallow, but I highly suggest that you buy one of those $35 insoles. In particular, a lot of my running buddies (who run marathons) and myself have had great success with the SuperFeet line of insoles (see link #2). The green ones are for people with medium to high arches. They often last a lot longer than the lifetime of a single shoe. For me, I replace them every three shoes or so.

Reply:Never been a fan of Nike running shoes...too narrow of a toe box. Sounds like Nike has lost an avid buyer!!! Have you written their customer service department? Shoe companies always stop making your favorite shoe and replace it with a shoe that doesn't even come close...I feel your pain!!!
