25 of the Best Travel Magazines

While traveling is exciting, learning about new places and seeing beautiful photos of destinations from around the world is exciting too. There are a number of ways to find new places to visit or to be inspired by the stories and experiences from others, but travel magazines are among the best options.

Thankfully, there are some very good travel magazines that are perfect for feeding your hunger for travel-related content and inspiration. Here, we’ll showcase the best travel magazines you should be following. Some of them have moved to digital-only publications, but the majority of them are still available in a printed magazine if that’s what you prefer (if they’re currently digital-only, that will be specified below).

Some of these magazines cover travel in general, while others take a more niche-specific approach. Check out the descriptions to see which ones are likely to interest you.

Best Travel Magazines

Subscribe to any of these travel publications to read and learn about destinations and your favorite types of travel.

Afar, launched in 2009, is one of the leading travel magazines. Although it covers destinations from around the world, its focus is experiential travel.

If you frequently travel to Caribbean destinations or have a home on one of the islands, this is an excellent choice for you.

Food & Travel

Food & Travel magazine combines two of our favorite topics. Wherever you’re going, food is likely to be an important part of your trip. If you enjoy trying food from every destination you visit, you’ll appreciate the content that you’ll find in this magazine.

The indispensable magazine for today’s yachtsman, providing power and sailing enthusiasts authoritative evaluations of new boats, gear, and equipment. Coverage of cruising, traveling, and racing destinations.

You’ll learn a lot about some of the best photography destinations you can put into your upcoming travel plans.

Online Travel Magazines

All of the publications listed above still produce a printed travel magazine. Of course, many publications have gone exclusively to digital versions because of the costs related to printing and shipping. In this section, we’ll cover online travel magazines that are excellent options (much more than just a blog) for reading on your tablet or computer.

Budget Travel

Budget Travel (now digital-only) helps savvy consumers get the most out of every day, every destination, and every dollar. This used to be a popular print-based magazine (and one of my personal favorites), but now the content is only available digitally. You’ll find details about locations all around the world, so it’s a great overall option.

38 Inspiring Travel Magazines Worthy of a Subscription

By Jason Barnette | Travel writer and photographer with 15+ years of road tripping experience

• Last Updated on November 1, 2023
• Published on November 25, 2022

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my Affiliate Disclosure here .

Travel magazines are great resources for inspiration and information. Inciteful articles go beyond the things to do in a destination and explore why you should visit in the first place. Hotel reviews, travel gear roundups, exploration of new trends, and interviews with interesting people in the travel industry keep you entertained through dozens of glossy pages.

Some travel magazines cover the globe, offering a chance to see exotic destinations in far-off lands. Other magazines stick closer to home, covering only regions or states. And then, special interest magazines cover topics like travel gear, outdoor recreation, and unique places to visit.

But when was the last time you picked up a travel magazine?

Browse through this list of travel magazines worthy of a subscription. Read the details of the magazine’s coverage, digital vs. print editions, and their publication frequency. And keep in mind – these make excellent gifts as well.

What about city magazines?

City magazines can offer additional insight into a destination, but not always. The magazines also include local news, shopping guides for home décor, and seasonal things to do around town. I recommend checking out city magazines when you travel but don’t get a subscription unless you visit that destination several times yearly.

Table of Contents

Condé nast traveler, food & wine, national geographic, travel + leisure, blueridge country, caribbean living, coastal living, coastal virginia, cowboys & indians, midwest living, smoky mountain living, arizona highways, louisiana life, minnesota monthly, new hampshire magazine, new jersey monthly, new mexico magazine, oklahoma today magazine, rhode island monthly, texas highways, texas parks & wildlife, vermont magazine, adventure cyclist magazine, american road, backcountry, blue ridge motorcycling, garden & gun, lighthouse digest, national parks magazine, rv magazine.

Travel Lifestyle Magazines

The premier category of travel magazines, these industry icons cover worldwide topics and destinations, keep you informed about current travel trends, and inspire you to dust off the passport.

A relative newcomer to the travel magazine market, Afar began publishing six issues each year in 2009. The magazine publishes immersive stories that go deep into the culture and history of travel destinations around the world. Each issue also features columns about travel gear, food, and profiles of interesting people in the industry.

Founded in New York City in 1909, Condé Nast is a vast media company with nearly a dozen magazine publications. Condé Nast Traveler is a luxury travel magazine published eight times yearly, featuring destination guides, hotel and resort reviews, and essays. Columns explore travel trends, the hottest new restaurants and hotels, and inside info on prices worldwide.

Facebook: Join the conversations about coffee, travel, and all things road trips

First published in 1978, Food & Wine is a lifestyle magazine featuring articles about cooking and entertaining at home. But the magazine also features restaurant reviews, interviews with celebrity chefs, and new culinary trends to try worldwide. The magazine is published monthly with seasonal themes and travel inspiration in every issue.

It was a gut punch when National Geographic Traveler was shuttered in 2019. Published for twenty-five years, the travel-themed magazine was rolled into the flagship National Geographic . The broad-topic parent magazine now features one or two travel features in their monthly issues and a vast trove of information with a digital subscription.

Top Recommended

Published in New York City since 1937, Travel + Leisure is one of the top travel magazines in the world. The monthly publication features articles highlighting destinations worldwide, columns to help you save money while traveling, and reviews of hotels and restaurants. It’s one of the most inspiring magazines and the one subscription I recommend everyone order.

Wanderlust is the United Kingdom’s top travel magazine, published in London since 1993. The magazine focuses on travel destinations throughout the UK and Europe with destination guides, essays, interviews, and reviews. The bi-monthly publication features a whopping 200+ pages that will almost certainly keep you reading until the next issue arrives. A subscription also grants access to their vast digital archives.

Regional Travel Magazines

Regional travel magazines broaden their topics beyond just travel to also include home décor and living. But these magazines are also an excellent resource for finding off-the-beaten-path destinations or learning about a new region of the country to explore.

Based in Roanoke, Virginia, BlueRidge Country is a lifestyle and travel magazine focused on the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. The monthly issues feature a section on upcoming festivals and events that are perfect for weekend getaways. You’ll also find destination articles, hotel and restaurant reviews, and exciting things to do in the great outdoors in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

National Park Week 2024

Learn about the annual celebration of the National Park System and read my travel guides to national park units across the country.

With a subscription to Caribbean Living , you’ll “travel beyond the beach” with an inside look at the culture of the Caribbean islands. Issues are only published four times each year, but the publications are packed with intriguing travel stories, unique places to visit, and tips on how to make the most of your tropical getaway.

Life was turbulent for Coastal Living after Meredith purchased Time, Inc. in 2018. After a year stuck exclusively on newsstands, the magazine was again made available for subscriptions. The four issues published annually are packed with destination guides, travel tips, and reviews to make the most of your coastal getaway.

Published six times yearly, Coastal Virginia covers the region around Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore. The publication includes lists of local events and festivals, travel guides to popular coastal destinations, and interviews with the local business owners who keep the travel industry thriving in coastal Virginia.

When Cowboys & Indians began publishing in 1992, its editors aimed to make it “the premier magazine of the West.” And with 16 issues each year, you’ll have plenty to read about the not-so-wild west. Each issue is packed with home décor, recipes for local foods, travel guides to popular destinations, and upcoming events and festivals.

Based in Des Moines, Iowa, Midwest Living has been published four times yearly since 1986. The issues explore the vast region with travel guides, interviews, and reviews of places to visit. Issues include lifestyle topics like home décor and recipes, but you’ll still find plenty of travel topics to inspire your next Midwest adventure.

Twitter: Join conversations about travel, road trips, and national parks – 240 characters at a time

Based in Waynesville, North Carolina at the footsteps of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Smoky Mountain Living publishes stories covering the southern Appalachian Mountains. The stories include local arts and crafts, culture, music, and travel. It’s an excellent magazine for more than just the national park – it’s every small mountain town and hidden cove you never knew you wanted to visit.

The first issue of Sunset was published in 1898 – no kidding. Initially published by the Southern Pacific Railroad, today the lifestyle magazine covers the American West with topics on home life, cooking, gardening, and travel. Although it’s a broad-ranged magazine, the travel articles are inspirational.

Published since 1935, Yankee celebrates the culture of the New England states. Six issues each year feature stories about local traditions, festivals and events, lifestyle, and reviews of up-and-coming boutique hotels and restaurants.

State Travel Magazines

Narrowing the focus, state travel magazines focus on lifestyle and travel topics within their borders. If you visit a particular state every year, a subscription to one of these magazines could be invaluable for inspiring you to visit new destinations.

Published since 1935, Alaska is more than just a magazine to promote travel across the northernmost state – it’s also a journal of the Alaskan way of life. The magazine is published ten times yearly and features destination guides, seasonal activities, and outdoor adventures across the state. The magazine also featured excellent information about hunting, national parks, and how to travel across the state.

In 1921, the Arizona Department of Transportation began publishing a 10-page pamphlet to promote the highways across the state. Today, Arizona Highways is a monthly magazine published in Phoenix. Each issue includes road trip possibilities, travel guides, and stories about the state’s history and culture.

Published six times yearly, Louisiana Life includes roundups of upcoming events and festivals, travel guides, and an inside look at the state’s culture.

New Hampshire Magazine publishes 10 issues each year packed with information about the state’s tourist destinations, seasonal guides to explore autumn colors and spring flowers, and reviews of local restaurants.

New Jersey Monthly publishes an issue every month of the year filled with lifestyle tips, destination guides, and things to do across the state to the Jersey Shore.

Launched in 1923, New Mexico Magazine was the first magazine to focus on travel within a single state. With 11 issues published annually by the New Mexico Tourism Department in Santa Fe, the magazine features articles on the state’s culture, history, outdoor recreation, and destinations.

Since 1956, Oklahoma Today Magazine has been the official publication of the state of Oklahoma. The issues – published 6 times yearly – feature articles on history, culture, food, and travel across the state.

Published since 1933, Our State is one of the best state travel magazines in the country. The monthly issues are filled with travel guides, upcoming events and festivals, stellar photography, and things to do in small towns and big cities across the Tarheel State.

Rhode Island may be the smallest state in the country, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do. And with 12 issues of Rhode Island Monthly published each year, you can learn all about it. The articles cover events and festivals, things to do, places to visit, and go in-depth with reviews and interviews.

Published since 1974 by the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Highways is a monthly magazine that features destination guides, road trip itineraries, and seasonal inspiration for travel across the state. The articles include interviews with travel industry professionals, reviews of local restaurants and resorts, and roundups of things to do, places to go, and festivals to attend.

Published only 5 times each year, Vermont Magazine explores the history, culture, and travel across the state. Articles take a deep dive with interviews, reviews, and guides to help you get the most out of a visit to the state.

Special Interest Magazines

Instead of travel guides or restaurant reviews or business owner interviews, the special interest magazine focuses on specific things to do while home or traveling. You’ll find stories about outdoor recreation, exploring national park units, and how to travel in an RV in the pages of these magazines.

Adventure Cyclist Magazine has been published since 1975 by the Adventure Cycling Association . The Missoula, Montana-based association is an excellent resource for adventurous bicycle trails, gear reviews, and technical guides. Their magazine reflects this mission with 9 issues published annually packed with useful information. Membership in the association includes a subscription to the magazine and vice versa.

Published 4 times annually, American Road is the definitive magazine of the road tripper. The issues are filled with road trip travelogues, itineraries, roadside attractions, and reviews of restaurants and hotels you’ll find along the way.

Backcountry is the only magazine dedicated to outdoor recreation far from the paved highways. Published six times yearly, the magazine features gear reviews, backcountry tips, and destination guides worldwide. It’s an excellent resource for discovering backcountry adventures, how to get there, and where to stay.

Blue Ridge Motorcycling is published 4 times annually by the same folks behind Smoky Mountain Living . The magazine features scenic and thrilling motorcycle routes throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Southern Appalachians. Issues also feature motorcycle gear reviews and travel guides perfect for two-wheel adventures.

Published in Charleston, South Carolina, Garden & Gun is a regional magazine focusing on the American South. It’s not entirely a travel magazine with a wide range of topics from household décor to outdoor adventure. But the magazine regularly publishes fantastic articles about destinations you need to visit.

Lighthouse Digest is an interesting magazine subscription, especially for lovers of lighthouses. Published bi-monthly, the magazine features the history of the lighthouses, stories of previous keepers and their families, and travel guides on how to visit them. It’s a great resource for festivals and events to help you plan a weekend getaway to a lighthouse.

Published 4 times annually, the issues are filled with conservation stories and ways people can help protect the parks. But it also features excellent travel guides on things to do in the parks and sustainable ways to visit.

California Is Rebranding

Why the state’s tourism agency ditched its “Dream Big” slogan after more than a decade.

By Soumya Karlamangla

Perhaps you remember the commercials: images of the glittering blue Pacific, the majestic peaks of Yosemite, storybook vineyards and ancient redwoods stretching toward the sky.

For more than 10 years, tourism advertisements have painted California as a place for dreamers, a place for adventure and testing your limits by surfing, rock-climbing and skiing. The state tourism agency, Visit California, led the campaign, which invited people from around the world to “Dream Big” and travel to the Golden State.

Not anymore.

This spring, Visit California replaced “Dream Big” with a new campaign and a new brand for the state, as the “Ultimate Playground.” The scenes in the ads are much the same as before — with the addition of the Rady Shell, San Diego’s outdoor concert venue that opened in 2021 — but there’s no longer any mention of dreams.

Caroline Beteta, the chief executive of Visit California, told me there were a number of reasons for the switch, including that branding phrases like “Dream Big” tend to lose power over time and that the concept of dreaming had been popping up elsewhere, in corporate advertising.

Another major driver of the “Ultimate Playground” campaign was a more polarized political climate across the United States, which has created antipathy toward California in some parts of the country.

Beteta told me that the agency’s consumer research confirmed that Americans increasingly see the world through a political lens, and that framing California as a place to dream about was striking some viewers as a political statement. “Ultimate Playground” seemed to be a safer and less charged message.

The new campaign is meant to tap into pent-up demand for excitement and travel after pandemic restrictions. Visit California’s research found that 43 percent of consumers said vacations were the only time they could really let go and play.

California’s tourism sector was doing well even before the new campaign. Spending by tourists rose to a record-high $150.4 billion in 2023, Gov. Gavin Newsom said over the weekend — surpassing 2019 and suggesting that the pandemic slump has ended. The surge generated billions of dollars in tax revenue for the state and helped create 64,900 new jobs last year.

The rest of the news

California’s Department of Water Resources reported the first increase in groundwater supplies in four years, recharged by capturing more runoff from a very wet winter, The Associated Press reported.

The California Supreme Court will hear arguments on the legality of a ballot measure that would strip the Legislature and governor of the ability to increase taxes , The Los Angeles Times reports.

Southern California

Police officers in riot gear arrested dozens of protesters and began dismantling a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of California, San Diego.

More demonstrators were arrested as classes resumed at U.C.L.A., with 43 people charged with conspiracy to attempt burglary.

Central California

A jail in the San Joaquin Valley is updating its routines and system to prevent inmates from harming themselves , CalMatters reports.

Northern California

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have demanded that school leaders cut ties with Hillel International and three other Jewish organizations.

And before you go, some good news

The Los Angeles Times has a list of the best-smelling food spots that serve as guideposts throughout L.A. Here’s an excerpt from the essay by Julissa James:

“L.A. food leads with the nose. Mostly because the best of it is being cooked on the street — oftentimes we don’t even have to walk into a restaurant to be enthralled by it or convinced that it’s what we need in that moment. It meets us where we are. Some cities have their own distinct smells according to season — roses in the spring, hot trash in summer. We have Phillips Bar-B-Que and the birria truck that posts up right around the corner, all year round.”

Revered Chicago candy shop makes People magazine's summer travel bucket list

Margie's candies, a legendary confectionary founded more than 100 years ago in bucktown, expanded in recent years to open a location in ravenswoood, published may 18, 2024 • updated on may 18, 2024 at 7:31 pm.

An esteemed spot generations of Chicagoans have relied on for their fix of sweets was cast into the national spotlight once again.

Margie's Candies, a legendary confectionary founded more than 100 years ago, was among 25 summer bucket list spots featured in People magazine's 2024 Food and Travel Special, which was released Friday.

A place where sweet lovers can get two of their guiltiest pleasures - candy and ice cream - Margie's has made its candy in-house all these years. The options are plentiful - from signature English Toffee to chocolate caramels, lollipops, truffles and more.

Those who visit the original location at the corner of Armitage and Western in Bucktown might feel like they've been transported to the past. The decor is reminiscent of the 1920s - from the brown leather-like booths to wood adorning the walls.

Margie's made People's list for a specific bucket list item - to "taste a scene-stealing sundae," though, of course, you can get whatever catches your eye.

The scene in question was from "The Bear," the acclaimed FX series focusing on a start-up family restaurant in Chicago with actor Jeremy Allen White.

"During season 2, Chef Sydney ( Ayo Edebiri ) stops by  Margie’s Candies , a century-old candy and ice cream parlor, for its classic ice-cream sundae while getting the scoop on the local food scene," the entry reads. " Viewers left  hungry for season 3  (premiering June 27) can scoot into a booth at the beloved spot or re-create a bit of the magic at home with this  sundae recipe. "

While Margie's may be popular for its ice cream creations and candy, those are just the signature items. Margie's also has italian ice, pies and even sandwiches. Its original location might be the most well known.

In more recent years, Margie's opened a location in Ravenswood, 1813 W. Montrose Ave.

Prince Harry Reveals Plans for the Future — and Why He and Meghan Markle 'Look Forward to Traveling More' (Exclusive)

The Duke of Sussex tells PEOPLE what drives him and Meghan to make a difference

KOLA SULAIMON/AFP via Getty

Prince Harry knows the importance of personal connection when it comes to his and wife Meghan Markle 's work.

Speaking to PEOPLE on the couple's three-day trip to Nigeria, the Duke of Sussex says, "It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support and positive change."

Looking to the future, Harry and Meghan are anticipating more travel opportunities to further their initiatives.

"There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to traveling more because the work matters. Whether it's the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work," the duke says.

Harry and Meghan traveled to Nigeria to champion their Archewell Foundation's mental health initiatives for young people and to promote the Invictus Games, which Nigeria joined for the first time last year.

"I’m so happy with the growth of Invictus and to include Nigeria," the Duke of Sussex says. "You know what Africa means to me over the years. It is a very, very special place, and to be able to include Nigeria now [in Invictus], I’m very happy."

Andrew Esiebo/Getty

The Duke of Sussex also recalled his emotional visit to a military hospital in Kaduna, which PEOPLE joined, and the "very low morale" he felt among the approximately 50 men there. 

Out of those 50, there were two guys who were smiley and happy. And they were the two who were in Germany [at the Düsseldorf Invictus Games] last year," Harry says, emphasizing the "transformative power" of sport.

"That experience of knowing what life post-injury is like gives people so much hope. And hope, hope, hope is a huge part of this," he says.

For Meghan, the trip also brought her closer to her roots. In 2022, the duchess discovered through a genealogy test that she is 43 percent Nigerian.

"It was incredibly memorable and special," Meghan says of their time in Nigeria. "That alone is the best souvenir to take with us — all the memories we’ve made.”

Calling back to the empowering message she shared with a group of young students on their first day in Nigeria, Meghan says, "I saw myself in them. I see the potential in all of these young girls — and, by the way, in these young boys as well," she adds,

The Duchess of Sussex then thought of her son Prince Archie , 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet , who turns 3 in June.

"It’s what we see in our own children — to give them that promise and excitement for their futures," Meghan tells PEOPLE.

December 13, 2023 - by Paul Schattenberg

The Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences continues to build itself into one of the country’s top programs by hiring Dan Eichler as an assistant professor of the practice.

Eichler brings more than 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with almost 20 years in management or director-level positions. He also has more than 10 years of experience as a college instructor.

“As an assistant professor of the practice, Dan brings a rich and diverse professional background in the hospitality industry to benefit our students and bring the department the wisdom that only comes with practical experience,” said Brian King, Ph.D., head of the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism. “He also brings extensive contacts in the hospitality industry, which will enhance our efforts to garner even more attention for our department and further reinforce its position as one of the top programs in the country.”

Professional experience in hotel management, hospitality  

In joining the department, Eichler said he will draw from his extensive background in the industry and share that with the students.

“I believe that learning is greatly enhanced by relating real-life experiences to concepts and bringing them to life,” he said. “I like to use relevant topics and personal examples to emphasize the importance of the subjects being presented. I am passionate about the hospitality industry and desire to share that passion with students and help them succeed in an industry I love.”

Prior to joining the department, Eichler was director of sales and marketing for the Wyndham Garden Hotel in College Station, where he was responsible for opening, soliciting and negotiating contracts for the 135-room hotel.

Before that, he served as general manager of The Langford in College Station, where he was responsible for all aspects of a 114-unit senior living community in four key areas: resident satisfaction, engaged staff, favorable financial results and managing clinical care for those living in assisted living and memory care.

Eichler also has experience as corporate director of sales and marketing for Oldham Goodwin in College Station, where he oversaw a portfolio of 11 multibranded hotels with annual sales of over $29 million. Additionally, he was general manager for White Lodging-Courtyard Austin South and the Valencia Hotel Group-Hampton Inn and Suites Austin-Airport, both in Austin.

His further industry experience has been as an assistant general manager, sales manager and director, assistant front office manager and restaurant operations supervisor.

“My 30 years in the hospitality industry have afforded me numerous real-life experiences, as well as knowing about the experiences of others in the industry, that I can share with my students. Besides knowing best practices in the hospitality industry, I also have seen many worst-case scenarios, and often these negative experiences provide the best learning opportunities.”

College-level teaching experience, professional affiliations

Eichler has a master’s degree in hospitality management from the University of Houston and a bachelor’s in business administration with a focus on marketing from Baylor University.

He has 10 years of experience providing higher education instruction. Most recently, he has been an adjunct professor at Blinn College , where he taught Introduction to Hospitality and Convention and Group Management Services. He was previously an adjunct professor at Austin Community College, where he taught Purchasing and Front Office Procedures as well as Introduction to Hospitality and Hospitality Internship.

Additionally, while pursuing his master’s degree, Eichler was a teaching assistant who helped in the training and performance evaluation of 50 students in all aspects of fine dining service. Eichler is a board member and past-president of the Brazos Valley Hospitality Association. He also served on the board for the Texas Hotel and Lodging Association and Austin Hotel and Lodging Association.

These Insoles Saved My College Running Career (and I Still Wear Them Every Day)

The Strategist happens to be full of runners, so this week, we hit the ground running (literally), testing tons of running gear and interviewing experts to give every kind of runner all the intel they might need. Welcome to  Running Week .

Running builds me up in a way nothing else can, but it’s also the one thing that has (literally) broken me. I’ve always known that injuries can come with the territory, but following the best track and field season of my life — I was running personal records and breaking TCU school records — I began to notice a sharp pain in my right heel. Every time my foot hit the ground, it felt like I was stepping on a nail. It turned out to be plantar fasciitis, a condition caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, or the connective tissue along the bottom of your foot .

I tried to run through the nasty pain (big mistake) and manage my symptoms with physical therapy, but I was eventually forced to take five months off from running . During that time, I saw several foot specialists and tried many different forms of treatment, including acupuncture and shock-wave therapy. I also tested less-invasive (and more affordable) gadgets, including foot rollers , toe spreaders, and heel pads. These tools and treatments certainly helped manage my discomfort, but the secret to my full recovery — without flare-ups — was SuperFeet’s cushioned yet supportive insoles.

I heard about the All-Purpose Support insoles from a podiatrist who recommended them as the best place to start before turning to pricey custom orthotics. The insoles — which you can slip into running sneakers and regular shoes alike — work like this: The high-density foam construction offloads strain and pressure caused by walking and running . Meanwhile, the insole’s deep, cushy cup cradles your heel, locking your foot into alignment with your ankle, knee, and hips to alleviate pain.

At the beginning of my recovery, I was advised never to go barefoot, so I wore my SuperFeet insoles every day. To fit them properly, I simply removed the factory insoles in my sneakers and slightly trimmed the toe box of the SuperFeet to match that shape. It’s important to note that at first these felt pretty stiff in my Hokas, but that solid support is what reduces the overstretching of the plantar fascia. The break-in process took some time — I started with a few hours of wear every couple of days, and gradually worked my way up to all-day wear. Eventually, the agonizing throbbing in my heel began to fade to light achiness, and soon enough I was wearing my insoles while cross-training and graduated to running on an AlterG (or anti-gravity) treadmill, which reduces the impact of your body weight.

When I progressed to full-weight-bearing runs, I kept wearing my SuperFeet insoles in my running shoes. After an almost career-ending injury, I was able to continue competing as an NCAA Division I runner for two more years. To this day, I still rely on my SuperFeet. They’re good for up to 12 months or 500 miles, whichever comes first, so I often purchase a new set at the same time as when I was buying new running shoes. I’ve gone on to try a few of the brand’s other designs, such as their Run Support line , which is lightweight but offers the same firm stability. There are days when I experience phantom pain in my heel, but once I’m wearing my SuperFeet, I’m reminded of how these insoles practically saved my college running career and fought my fasciitis for good.
