Choose thickness desired

I want custom arch support maximum shock absorbing insoles!

Choose thickness desired

Choosing the right insole depends on your foot type and shoe thickness

I have a low/flat arch

Custom Arch support is best

Select an insole thickness below.

A low arch tends to roll inwards and “over pronates”. This leads to numerous alignment issues and joint soreness. All of our insoles absorb shock. Adding custom arch support is great addition for those who

  • Stand/walk all day
  • Get sore knees hips and back

I have a high arch

Arch support typically isn't needed

Select an insole thickness below.

A high arch tends to “Supinate” or roll outwards. Therefore Arch support has little or no effect and can worsen alignment issues. In this case a flat pure energy absorbing insole is best to relieve pressure off the heel and ball of the foot.

  • You have pressure problems on the forefoot and ball of foot
  • Tend to tweak or sprain your ankles

TIPS

  • A mid arched foot can get both flat or orthotic insoles
  • A flat foot can choose a simple flat insole if desired however we recommend custom orthotics.
  • Check your shoe’s stock insoles to determine how thick of an FP Insole you should choose.
  • Women’s sizing is determined by adding 2 to men’s size. EX. a men’s 4 is a women’s 6
  • In case of out of stock sizes, all Flat insoles can be trimmed down to any size while orthotics can only be trimmed down one full size
