Do these shoes have good arch support? I have very low arches and need support, but also have orthotics I can use if necessary.

Yes, they have decent arch support, there is built in arch support and an insert. You are able to remove the insert if you need to put in your own orthotics. I have worn these shoes all day long and find them Very comfortable. Hope this helps!

I would say light/medium arch support. The best arch support I've ever seen in an athletic shoe is by the brand Brooks, you should check that sneaker brand out. They are arch support specific so you can get light, medium, or high.

If you saw my review on these shoes, you will know my opinion as these shoes seemed to have left the factory too early. There is no support or comfort in these shoes. It is unfortunate because I find them very cool looking. I do a lot of walking at my job and I really needed supported comfort in a shoe. Sorry, I would not recommend these shoes for anyone.

No they don't I added those running arch supports, which made them much more comfortable.

yes they provide arch support. they are slightly firm and thin enough to fit comfortably in almost all of my shoes...

Yes. These are good. You might want to go to a red wing shoe or Walgreen and try a pressure reading for the feet. Gels last only a few months then need replacing

the cf440 is the max support you can get for feet with "no arch"---or FLATFEET--------this is what I use---------the 340 is for those not so severe

My daughters have used them for a couple of years but unfortunately it was not enough support for my 6 year old who still pronates a lot. We had to have orthotics made for her which we were trying to avoid as it is expensive. Go to a good podiatrist and get his opinion, depends on how much your child pronates and how much support your child needs..

In my experience, I have not noticed a difference in arch support when using these in my shoes.

I wear 4e shoes and can only wear New Balance and Rockport and some Merrills. They all have removable insoles so I can out the hard orthodic in. I have used them for over 25 years. The most important thing to measure is your arch support. A long time ago I was told I have sized 11 feet with a size 12 arch length. I buy 1 size up.

Right, I had flat feet myself until I started wearing orthotics. But that was 20-years ago. I no longer have flat feet. ArchCrafters is just protecting itself against law suites, practicing medicine without a license. Also, I've bought about 9 pairs of orthotics from ArtCrafter over the years and they deliver a high quality product. Highly recommend. Hillbilly

Not sure if it works for high arches, I just wear these when I need additional support in a shoe that doesn't provide much of an arch support.

I don't think width of the feet has any significance in effectiveness of orthotics; if you need them, use them. For supinated feet, good arch support and heel lifts to align your feet into central position helps a lot. For this particular item, I didn't find it too useful.

I can't say for certain on the metatarsal support, but these are very well padded and they wear extremely well for a softer insole. The arch support is good, again for this type of insole. I have narrow feet and these have worked pretty well in casual shoes. Many insoles with this type of heel support are too wide to fit my shoes. These work and it is easy to trim the toe part. I hope that helps.

I do not wear arch supports. But i do not think these will go over them. In some of my shoes where this insole doesn't work I use the pedag gel metatarsal pads. They may work for you as they can sit under the arch support. They are one size only and not such a good fit in very slim shoes, but you can trim them back a bit. It is really a bit of trial and error if you need another type of support as well. There are other insoles on the market which have both arch and metatarsal suppots but they are not as thin as pedag ones.

They are not a brace, just support. I'd be concerned if you do a lot of starting and stopping, pivoting and quick movements, that they may not be as strong as you think. I wear them for off road running and sparring in TKD and they have done well.

For me they do, but I don't have weak ankles to begin with, and as long as you tie the shoelaces really tight you'll have support. I ordered 0.5 size bigger (usually I wear 5.5 but I ordered a 6) and it fit perfectly. I found these to be extremely comfortable, especially since the rentals that I was using were extremely uncomfortable, these feel way better.

Don't bother!!!! I would buy Alegria shoes or a good quality shoe that realigns your feet, I used those orthotics but they don't work and for a few more dollars u can buy a nice pair of shoes!!

Arch support was for my husband's shoes (size 8). Trimming is not needed. Seems to fit into shoe no matter the size.

Hi, I think they'll do what you want. The description says insoles, I didn't see arch support mentioned. They are flat and fairly thin so they should fit in most applications, and they add a bit of pad and comfort without taking up too much room.
