Q&A

I have been prescribed L425 for the pain in my burning ball and hammer toe, as well as lower back pain. I work in construction, wear heavy steel toed boots, 15 wide. will this product work or should I be looking for a wider orthotic to fit my boot properly?
Hi Oliver, Aetrex orthotics only come in one width; we do not carry them in wide.
What size orthotics do I need for women size 11 shoes. I also have Bedlam men size 9. I bought men compete L405 but I think it should have been 425 because I pronate. I am having lower back pain, have flat feet and I think I may have had the wrong size to begin with. The back of the orthotic says Lynco M9.
Hi Ellorna, Lynco M9 means it's a size 9 orthotics for men. We recommend getting the orthotics in women's sizes since they are manuafactured in women's size 11. Given your foot condition, we recommend the L420 or L425 if you're experiencing ball of foot pain. Both orthotics are designed to support low arches to flat feet, featuring posted heels to control over-pronation and provide balance. https://www.aetrex.com/search?q=Women%27s+Compete&prefn1=arch-type&prefv1=Flat
is their an extra wide feet size
Hi Bret, Aetrex orthotics only come in medium sizes.
I can't decide between the L425 and L1925. Can you explain how they compare in fit, comfort, durability, cushioning, odor/moisture wicking, etc. Is either one better suited for high intensity tennis on a hard court?
Hi Mike, Both the L1925 and L425 feature the same arch support, a high-tech polyester top cover that wicks moisture and reduces friction, and Pro-Shox® polyurethane centers for shock absorption. The L1925, however, is slightly thicker at 0.25‚Äù due to its cork blended core base for cushioning. On the other hand, the L425 uses an Aerocell™ polyurethane base for high energy return, which is why we recommend it more for tennis. In terms of durability, they are constructed similarly so it's fair to say that durability will still depend on the frequency of use.
Mi doctor me recomendo la plantilla L400 pero tengo pie con arcos bajo esta correcto o deberia usar la L420 , cual es la diferencia?
Hi Javier, Your doctors recommended the correct version of the Aetrex Compete Orthotics. The L400 is designed to support medium to high arches, featuring a cupped heel to cushion and stabilize the back of the foot. On the other hand, the L420 supports low arches to flat feet and comes with a posted heel to help control overpronation which is a common foot condition for those with flat feet.
