Designed for

Who this pair is for

Plantar fasciitisOverpronationAchillesRunningWalking

For the stride, not against it

Running loads the foot two to three times body weight, several hundred times a mile. A running orthotic has one job at the landing — control the heel and carry the arch — and one job at the push-off: get out of the way.

This design does both. The heel cup is controlled without a deep wall that fights the shoe’s own heel counter; the arch is shaped from your impression and carries midstance; the shell is medium and responsive; and the forefoot is thin and flexible so the toes bend and push off as they should. Remove the shoe’s sockliner and this sits on the midsole.

FAQ

Questions about the running pair

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

Will orthotics slow me down?

A well-shaped pair should not. The shell here is medium and responsive, and the forefoot is thin and flexible so push-off is unchanged. What changes is how the foot lands and rolls, which is where the strain was coming from.

Do I take the shoe's insole out?

Yes. Running shoe sockliners are thin; remove them so the orthotic sits on the midsole. If the fit feels tight, go up half a size on your next shoe, as many runners with orthotics do.

Road or trail?

Both — the design is the same. Trail shoes are often a touch narrower at the forefoot; tell us the shoe in the order comments and we trim to it.

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.
