Great insoles that work well

"Great insoles that work well for me—no pain, especially when I play golf. I walk about 16,000 steps and still have no pain. I’ve tried other insoles, but these are the best."

I have been ordering from

"I have been ordering from Aetrex for many years. I had an issue with receiving my ortho supports from the shipper for the very first time and Aetrex did make it right. Thank you."

Valerie S. (5/5)

I bought Aetrex Compete insoles

"I bought Aetrex Compete insoles several years ago that wear much better than these. These have a much more arch support than the previous ones that I bought making them uncomfortable. Aetrex had a great product in the previous Compete style so I don't know what happened. I was sadly disappointed with my purchase."

Anita B. (2/5)

My feet hurt and they

"My feet hurt and they didn’t before. I’ll keep using them to see if anything changes."

Veronica M. (3/5)

I used good feet store

"I used good feet store orthotics for a few years. They worked well until I began having pain in my arches. My orthopedic foot surgeon recommended aetrex. They felt great from day 1. Great support but not made of hard plastic that irritated the arch."

Q&A

I have plantar fasciitis along with flat feet. What Orthotic do you recomend for golf. Thank you!
Hi David, We recommend the L420 or L425 (with metatarsal support) which are designed for low arches to flat feet, featuring a posted heel to control over-pronation and provide balance and a Pro-Shox® polyurethane center to absorb shock and reduce impact. https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=men%27s+compete&prefn1=shoe-features&prefv1=Posted+Heel
I have L 405 orchids, are these still available or is there a replacement?
Hi Ron, The Men's L405 Compete Orthotics is still in production. Please go to https://www.aetrex.com/compete-orthotics-l405m-L405M.html.
Need arch support and my feet tend to turn out at the ankles
Hi Will, All Aetrex orthotics feature our signature arch support that helps with foot alignment and the relief of common foot pains, including plantar fasciitis. For your reference, orthotics that end in 05 and 00 are designed to support medium to high arches, while the ones that end in 25 and 20 support low arches to flat feet. In addition, 05 and 25 orthotics feature metatarsal support for weight redistribution to help relieve ball-of-foot pain or discomfort.
Which support will help with feet that are supinate?
Hi Bryan, We do not carry orthotics designed specifically for supination, but we can make recommendations based factors like arch type and/or the presence of ball-of-foot discomfort. For your reference, orthotics that end in 05 and 00 are designed to support medium to high arches, while the ones that end in 25 and 20 support low arches to flat feet. In addition, 05 and 25 orthotics feature metatarsal support for weight redistribution to help relieve ball-of-foot pain or discomfort.
Are these insoles for running? I had someone sell them to me in my run shoes and after run /walk 9 miles my feet hurt pretty bad.
Hi Justine, While the L400 Compete features a Pro-Shox® polyurethane center layer to absorb shock and reduce impact, it is not designed for running. If you run extensively, we recommend the theL700 Speed Orthotics which also supports medium/high arches and has an Exofoam™ center for super light-weight cushioning; it is structured to help prevent injury, alleviate discomfort, and reduce fatigue while running. https://www.aetrex.com/speed-orthotics-l700-orthotics-L700M.html
