Reviews

I really depend on your

"I really depend on your L405 to help me, I have them in all my sneakers. I do a lot of gardening and they are sturdy enough even in my yard. By the way, they are cool on my feet, other brands, not so much. I have Morton’s neuroma in my right foot and the Aetrex insoles are awesome."

Aetrex arch supports are life-changing.

Q&A

Do these orthotics (L405) contain any leather? Thanks so much!
Hi Alicia, The L405 orthotics do not contain leather. They have a CopperGuard® antimicrobial polyester top cover, a Pro-Shox® polyurethane cushioning layer, and an Aerocell™ polyurethane performance base for shock absorption and support.
How do I know which insole to purchase.
Hi Denise, As Aetrex offers a wide range of orthotic options, we typically recommend orthotics based on factors like arch type (low arches to flat feet or medium to high arches), activities that the user is planning to engage in while using the orthotics, and the presence of ball-of-foot discomfort, as well as any other applicable foot conditions. 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. There is also an orthotic quiz that can help you decide which style to get. To take the quiz, you may go to https://irle3andv1z.typeform.com/to/gujvKvEg?typeform-source=www.aetrex.com.
Do you carry these or any of your insoles in size 39? All my shoes are 39. Sizes are confusing you go from 38 /8to 40 as 9 ?
Hi Ana, Aetrex orthotics do not come in size 39EU. If you're in between sizes, like an 8.5US, we recommend sizing up to size 40EU.
If I wear an 11 1/2 shoe, what size insole do I buy?
Hi Lou, We recommend sizing down in orthotics if you're in between sizes.
Do you offer an insert for hiking?
Hi Jacki, We recommend the Aetrex Compete Orthotics for hiking. It features a Pro-Shox® polyurethane center to absorb shock and reduce impact and the Aerocell™ polyurethane base for high energy return. 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. https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=women%27s+compete+orthotics&search-button=&lang=en_US
