I noticed today that there were like 15 different kinds Dr. Scholl’s inserts - has anyone tried several and figured out which ones are best for foot pain?

I’m especially looking for something that relieves foot pain in the heel and a bit in the front - back pain relief is a bonus, but I need the best insoles for relieving foot pain.

Anyone have any ideas or opinions?

I like the gel insoles. They’re a bit thicker in the heel and they’re really comfortable. But my husband hates 'em. He likes the foam.
