Founded by podiatrists - many of our styles feature our adjustable Sole HeroTM Footbeds. Being adjustable means the Sole HeroTM Footbed can be taken out and replaced with your orthotic.
The key is finding the styles to accommodate the volume and shape of your orthotic without affecting your fit. Comfort is key - so finding the right style for your foot with your orthotic is important.
Look for;
-
Styles with ‘more upper’ to comfortably hold your foot down onto the orthotic within the shoe.
-
Styles that are adjustable, like ones with laces or straps. They not only have more ability to ‘increase space within the shoe’ for your orthotic but they will help hold you down on the orthotic.
-
Our 'Sole SaverTM' and 'Custom ControlTM' styles come with forefoot cushions to enable you to further adjust the fit with your orthotics. Simply place under your orthotics in the toe box area to tighten the fit if needed.
Something else to appreciate;
Suitability also depends on the heel height of the shoe- the higher the heel, the higher the foot pitch (‘angle the foot is placed’).
Foot biomechanics change dependent on heel height which will ultimately have an affect on how your orthotic and foot function together.
