Flat feetOverpronationPlantar fasciitisGymMulti sport

For the platform under the barbell

The gym asks two opposite things of the foot: be a stable platform under a loaded bar, and be a springboard for jumps and sprints. A soft insole fails the first; a rigid one fails the second.

This design splits the difference where it matters. The shell is firm with a flat base so the foot does not collapse under load, and the heel cup and arch from your impression hold it there; the forefoot is low and flexible so jumps, lunges and sprints feel like the shoe alone.

Build

FAQ

Questions about the gym pair

Still unsure? Write to care@evensteporthotics.com — a person answers.

Are orthotics okay for squats?

A stable, flat-based orthotic that stops the arch collapsing is what many lifters want; a squishy one is not. This shell is firm and flat-based for exactly that reason. Lifting barefoot or in flat shoes is a separate choice.

Will these fit in trainers?

Yes. Cross-trainers and training shoes have a removable sockliner and moderate depth. Pull it out; this sits flat.

Gym or multi-sport?

Gym if training is your main activity. Multi-sport if you also play a court or field sport weekly.

How do I know they will fit?

Your orthotics are shaped from an impression of your own feet, not a size chart, and the shell is set to your weight band. We confirm the length from the impression and trim the pair to the shoe type you told us about. If anything is off, a remake is free inside the 180-day guarantee.

What's different from a shelf insole?

A shelf insole is one of three or four shapes chosen to fit millions of feet; it cushions but it cannot hold a heel or contour an arch that isn't its own. A custom orthotic is shaped from an impression of your foot, so the heel cup, arch profile and forefoot relief are yours. If a shelf insole has already solved your problem, keep it — we say so in our guides.

Which shoes will these fit?

Full-length designs fit sneakers, walking and running shoes, work boots and most lace-ups; remove the shoe's own insole and slide ours in, trimming along the guide if needed. The three-quarter design is for dress shoes and flats where there is no room for a full insole. Each pair is shaped for one shoe type, which is why a second pair for a different shoe is $139.
