I wear wide toe box shoes but am considering buying some orthotic insoles. Curious to know others experience? Has anyone had positive experience with these type of insoles?

Hi Mary Sue, I have heard from many people who have had positive experiences with orthotic insoles, especially when dealing with foot pain or conditions like plantar fasciitis. They can provide additional support and help alleviate pressure on certain areas of the foot. However, it's important to make sure you get the right type of insoles for your specific needs and foot shape. It might be a good idea to consult with a podiatrist or other foot specialist to help you select the right insoles. Best of luck!

Have been using Super Feet insert (I wear the hot pink. I have high arches). I would not go without them.

I just bought some and tried it out for the first day yesterday. It was a great decision for me.

My husband had some made to measure insoles. He was in agony with them. Dr told him to stick with them but he eventually gave up on them. They were quite expensive as I remember

I found Asics (athletic shoes) are the best for my feet - they are wider at the top, no bad seams rubbing. Hope this helps.

I had two different insole made by difficult people One was a dr and the other one a podiatrist nether were any good to me.I wish I had never brought them.

did they take them back or return your portion? That is why I am still debating ($100 out of pocket after the insurance). I am sorry they didn’t work.

most insurance companies don’t even cover custom orthotics so the fact that yours is only $100 out of pocket is actually a really good deal
