Q&A
- Which orthotic do I need for flat, narrow feet with metatarsal support?
- Hi Dave, If you have flat, need metatarsal support and is active, the Aetrex L425 Compete Posted Orthotic with Metatarsal Support is an excellent choice. It gives you strong arch support and metatarsal relief to reduce pressure under the ball of your foot, and the posted heel design helps control pronation and provide stability, which is especially helpful if you’re very active or play sports. All Aetrex orthotics are a medium width, but the design still works well for narrower feet in most shoes.
- is insert 2225 still available or is there a replacement
- Hi Joe, The L2225 Men's Memory Foam Posted Orthotics with Metatarsal Support is still available on our website. Please click on the link below https://www.aetrex.com/products/l2225m-m
- Can I get the L405, size 10 from VA?
- Hi Bob, To get orthotics through your VA benefits, we recommend calling the VA benefits hotline at 800-827-1000. They're open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET.
- Are the L405 made for running? I know you have running insoles as well but I prefer the metatarsal pad.
- Hi Mike, We recommend the L705 Speed for running over the L405 Compete as the Speed orthotics are designed to help prevent injury, alleviate discomfort, and help reduce fatigue while running. Similar to the 405, the 705 also features a metatarsal pad to redistribute weight to relieve ball-of-foot discomfort. https://www.aetrex.com/speed-orthotics-l705-orthotics-L705M.html
- do they have both arch support and metatarsal support
- Hi Lew, Every pair of Aetrex orthotics features the signature Aetrex arch support that helps with foot alignment and the relief of common foot pains. In addition, orthotics that end in 05, like the L405 Men's Compete MedHigh Arch W/ Metatarsal Support, have built-in metatarsal pads to redistribute weight and help relieve forefoot pain or discomfort.
