Orthotics work by supporting your body from the ground up, promoting proper alignment and reducing stress on your feet, knees, hips, and back. Aetrex Orthotics are designed using data and insights from over 50 million foot scans, providing anatomically correct arch support and using premium materials to absorb shock and help redistribute pressure away from high-impact areas. The result is lasting comfort, injury prevention, and healthier movement with every step.

Aetrex Orthotics are engineered using data and learnings from over 50 million foot scans to deliver anatomically precise support that helps relieve pain and prevent injury. Each pair features Aetrex’s Signature Arch Support—strategically contoured and positioned to align the body from the ground up.

Unlike traditional orthotics made with rigid materials, Aetrex Orthotics are crafted with premium, shock-absorbing materials like IQ150 memory foam and advanced polyurethane that offer support and comfort. They also cushion and protect the feet while promoting proper alignment to help reduce stress on the plantar fascia, knees, hips, and back.

Available in a range of styles, they offer customized comfort based on your foot type and footwear.

Yes. Plantar Fasciitis is typically caused by over-pronation (flat feet) or very high arches. Aetrex Orthotics provide alignment and support to keep the foot closer to the neutral position throughout the gait cycle. Proper alignment helps minimize over-pronation, reduces stress on the plantar fascia, and decreases inflammation associated with plantar fasciitis.

People with flat feet have very little arch definition, causing their feet to be more flexible and less shock absorbent. When you have flat feet, your arches can make complete contact with the ground when standing or walking. As a result, foot pain and other conditions can occur, such as over-pronation, plantar fasciitis, post-tibial tendonitis, or heel spurs.

Aetrex Orthotics with a medial rearfoot post and arch support are designed for flat feet which can help keep your feet aligned and control over-pronation so you can stay active and healthy doing the things you love. Shop Now

That small raised area near the ball-of-the-foot on select orthotics is called a metatarsal pad. It’s designed to help redistribute pressure away from the forefoot and relieve discomfort caused by conditions such as metatarsalgia or ball-of-foot pain. By slightly lifting the metatarsal bones, it provides added comfort during walking or standing.

Every foot is unique, so pain relief times can vary. Most people begin to feel more comfortable after a short period of time, typically after several days of regular wear.

Our orthotics are designed to be worn right out of the box with no break in period required. However, some people find wearing their new orthotics for a few hours a day and gradually increasing wear time can help their feet adjust.

If your pain persists, please consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

Yes. Aetrex Orthotics are designed to help with overpronation, a condition that occurs when the foot rolls excessively inward. It’s prominent in people who have flexible, flat feet. Overpronation can often lead to other foot conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs, Metatarsalgia, Post-tib Tendonitis and/or Bunions.

Overpronation can be treated with orthotics designed with proper arch support and medial rearfoot posting to help prevent the excessive inward rolling motion. Footwear should also be examined; footwear with firm heel counters are often recommended for extra support and stability.
