Aertrex insoles are the best.

Great insoles. All my shoes
"Great insoles. All my shoes have these installed."
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."
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."
Love these. Just tried them
"Love these. Just tried them in my hiking boots and will buy another pair for my sneakers."
Q&A
- I have Solomon hiking boots and the memory foam in it hurts my feet, i have the metatarsal in my sneakers with memory foam. would this work better being a little thinner insole, or do you recommend something different
- Hi Robyn, Given your experience with memory foam, we recommend the L405 Compete to go with your hiking boots. 05 orthotics are designed for medium to high arches and the L405 has a Pro-Shox® polyurethane center for superior shock absorption, with an Aerocell™ polyurethane for high energy return. https://www.aetrex.com/compete-orthotics-l405w-L405W.html
- which of the LI900 series would be best for tennis? I currently have the L405 which never go on sale :) but work well!!
- Hi Alyn, Given your current pair of L405 Compete Orthotics, we recommend getting the Active Orthotics in the same configuration, the L1905 Active.
- I bought a pair of your sneakers in a size 10. Should I buy the insoles in a size 10 too?? Will they make my shoes fit tighter. That's a problem I have when buying insoles, they make my shoes too tight & then they don't fit.
- Hi Rosemarie, We recommend getting orthotics in the same size as your Aetrex sneakers. Our sneakers typically have removable insoles which you can replace with the custom ones.
- I need inserts for Morton neuroma & plantar fasciitis in the same foot. What do you suggest?
- Hi Mary, We recommend 05 or 25 orthotics from the Compete or Active series that feature the signature Aetrex arch support which helps with foot alignment and the relief of common foot pains including plantar fasciitis, and metatarsal pads to redistribute weight to help relieve ball-of-foot discomfort. For your reference, orthotics that end in 05 are designed to support medium to high arches, while the ones that end in 25 support low arches to flat feet. https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=women%27s+compete+orthotics&prefn1=ball-of-foot-pain&prefv1=Yes https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=women%27s+active+orthotics&prefn1=ball-of-foot-pain&prefv1=Yes
- Are these waterproof? I'm looking for an insole with arch/metatarsal support for use in a water shoe.
- Hi Missy, Aetrex orthotics are not waterproof.
