Yes, made by Birkenstock the box says "Blue Footbed arch support for casual shoes". They aren't a full sole. I paid $45 for mine. In Birkenstock shoes all those ridges etc in the toe area bother me unless I modify them, but these inserts are fabulous (for me). I wear them in everything except my actual birkenstocks. I can't actually wear birkenstock sandals/shoes all day or even for extended periods, but for shorter, slip on and go to the store periods they are fine, and then I don't gotta switch the inserts out of my indoor slippers into lace up shoes (I HATE lace up shoes!) You know, I used to be a barefoot in the house, rubber thongs outdoors person my whole life, but those days appear to be gone forever........
