They arrived this morning. First impressions are not favourable. The arch support is too far back toward my heel. One of the reviewers on Amazon said the same and suspected that for the larger sizes they simply extended the forefoot area without adjusting the arch position. I think he's right. I'll try them in walking shoes at first and hope I'm proved wrong. |

Ah I understand that. I’m the opposite. I have to buy small otherwise the arch is to far forwards. . I did hold them against my orthoheel and they are exactly the same apart from the arch being more rigid. What size do you need In the orthoheel and when I’m looking I’ll see if I can find any in your size . |

I've not found them, RB. There are some Scholl sport insoles but they're sized at 7-12, and I reckon I'll have the same arch positioning problem. Too big a variation in sizes. There's a big Boots across the road and a new running shop in town, maybe I can try some on for size and shape there before committing.

Yup, but I'm typing in the exact search phrase and they're not coming up. What's going on?

I did find them eventually, through the also-viewed or bought panel at the bottom of the page. No idea why my searches weren't turning them up. Bought 1 pair, so that'll do me for years to come. Thank you RB! |
