Rigid Orthotic Arch Supports: Shoe Insoles for Solid Foot Support

All of our feet are different and our preferences of feel separate; however, we find a majority of our orthotic insole customers prefer a rigid orthotic arch support that locks the foot arch in place and positions the foot in a completely balanced position to help absorb weight and shock evenly throughout the foot.

Proper balance and support assists not only with one’s foot -but ankles, knees, hips and lower back too.  A rigid insole is known as functional orthotic that provides the maximum support in over-coming abnormal motion and positioning of one’s foot, ankles, knees, and hips during one’s movement, stride, and gait. Often a customer thinks of a rigid as a hard plastic insole; however, today’s modern styles include foam, leather, cotton terry, memory foam, and silk top coat covers.

We carry the largest supply of orthotic arch supports found anywhere ranging from low arched to high arched foot orthotics and from hybrid cushioned orthotics to very stiff and rigid orthotic arch supports.

Most whom never worn an orthotic arch support prefer an orthotic with a bit of a flexible arch support and/or additional cushioning (semi-rigid orthotic).
