Reviews

These are fantastic arch supports

"These are fantastic arch supports for my sneakers! When they go on sale, I try and stock up. I have 2 boxes unopened and will put a new pair in when I change to new sneakers. I especially need the metatarsal bump because of arthritis in my big toes."

Sandi M. (5/5)

Works for me

"I am an active 70+ year old. Love to walk, golf and bike. I broke 3 metatarsals in my foot and although they have healed well, I still have some pain and need to carefully choose my shoes. I have tried several different brands of orthotics as recommended by my doctor and these are by far the most effective. The metatarsal support seems to be the key for me."

Nancy L. (5/5)

Love these. Just tried them

"Love these. Just tried them in my hiking boots and will buy another pair for my sneakers."

Q&A

my current insole measures 11 inches, but the shoe is size Mens 9, what size should i get?
Hi Betty, Since sizing varies depending on the manufacturer, we recommend that you refer to our size guide below to help determine the size of the Aetrex orthotics that you should be getting. https://www.aetrex.com/size-guide/size-guide.html
I've used the L1905 orthotics with metatarsal support for years for walking for exercise and hiking. They are no longer available in my size (13). What do you suggest that I replace them with?
Hi Phil, The L1905 Men's Active Orthotics in size 13 are expected to become available around the third week of April 2023. We also recommend looking at the L405 Men's Compete Orthotics which features the same Pro-Shox® polyurethane center layer for superior shock absorption and is recommended for use during vigorous activities like hiking and walking. https://www.aetrex.com/compete-orthotics-l405m-L405M.html?lang=en_US
Do you have size 8 in men's l 1905
Hi Phil, Currently unavailable sizes of the L1905 Men‚Äôs Active Orthotics will be in stock at the of August. We similar support, we recommend looking at the L405 Compete which also features a metatarsal pad to help relieve ball-of-foot discomfort, a cupped heel to cushion and stabilize the back of the foot, and a Pro-Shox® polyurethane center cushion to absorb shock and reduce impact. You may check it out at the link below: https://www.aetrex.com/compete-orthotics-l405m-L405M.html?lang=en_US
have been using NB insert IUAS3810 for years. The have discontinued this insert and replaced the complete line and replaced it with a Good Feet line which doesn't have the insert that I have used successfully. Do you have a replacement for the NB model I mentioned?? Thanks!
Hi Tom, Although we used to design insoles for New Balance, we do not have a replacement for the IUAS3810. However, we recommend the L2305 Men‚Äôs Premium Memory Foam Orthotics which is designed for medium to high arches and features a cupped heel to cushion and stabilize the back of the foot, as well as Aerocell™ polyurethane performance base for high energy return. It also has the most memory foam of any orthotic we sell and our signature arch support helps align your body and helps prevent common foot pains. Below is the link for the L2305: https://www.aetrex.com/women-s-premium-https://www.aetrex.com/men-s-premium-memory-foam-med-high-arch-w-metatarsal-support-L2305M.html?lang=en_US
