I have recently started using orthotics in my shoes (just off the shelf ones, not custom made) and they *seem* to really help with my ITBS problems that I have had for AGES!!
I was running in Adidas Adizero Adios at the time, so just took out the insoles and put my orthotics in. I have done the same with my Roclites.
My question is, can I basically put the orthotics in ANY running shoe I choose?
I love my Adizero Adios, but not the new Adios 2, so am thinking about possibly changing shoes - no idea what to though!

Sweatshop did me a custom footbed to even out my overpronation as part of the process of selling me a shoe last week.
They certainly implied that I could happily buy the footbed and put it in any shoe that I wanted. In the end, I settled for a pair of racing flats that weren't quite flat rather than the footbed.

Thanks DeeGee - I suppose I can't really see why you cannot put orthotics into any shoe.

Lil, I wear custom made orthotics in just about everything from running to my standard everyday work shoes and casual trainers and boots. If they help sort out a problem then I don't see why you shouldn't wear them. You spend a lot of time on your feet even when you're not running.

I think you can as long as if there's an insole already you can take it out. My OH has custom-mades that he transfers between all his shoes (he's not a runner).
Hope it works.

I have custom-made orthotics for running and the podiatrist told me to wear a neutral shoe, to allow the orthotic to work in the way that it is intended to.

I have a pair of Asics Gel Blackhawk 4's. The problem is that I can't take the insole out of them. Unlike other Asics that I have had in the past, the insole appears to be glued into the sole.
Should I attempt to remove it? Has anyone attempted this? If so, did the shoe survive the surgery?
I really don't want to have to but another pair of shoes just yet (am poor and these ones only have 100 miles in them so far).

My guv'nor just asked me about using orthotics in Inov8s.
My initial feeling is there's be no room - and little point.
What does the panel think?
