If you have large feet, you may be embarrassed about them and want to hide them. Large feet could mean feet that are longer than the average feet, or they could mean feet that are wider than the average feet. If you have feet with bunions, for example, your feet will always be wider than average feet.

 

What would happen if you took a completely different viewpoint about your feet and pampered them? The fact is that you can now – even though about a decade ago you may not have been able to do this.

 

What Orthotics and Insoles are Available for Large Feet?

 

 

Insoles are now made for those with large feet – either wide feet or feet that wear some of the largest shoe sizes. You’ve heard of the Big & Tall shop that sells clothing for those who need the bigger or taller sizes, right? Well now, the “big and tall” phrase even applies to insoles and orthotics.

 

The term ‘Wide Insoles’ refers to insoles for men with shoe sizes up to size 17. In other words, you can purchase insoles for wide feet without having large feet. You can get insoles larger than the normal size if you’re a man with size 16+ shoes; all the way up to size 22.

 

The key thing to remember is that when your feet are wide or longer than average, the last thing you want is to wear insoles that are too small in your shoes. If you do, the whole distribution of your weight on the bottom of your foot could be altered for the worst. For example, if your little toe is hanging off the edge of the insole in the shoe, this position makes the toe vulnerable to blisters and the potential development of corns. If you’re a diabetic, this isn’t good because an open sore could lead to non-healing, which then leads to amputation.

 

At The Insoles Store (www.TheInsoleStore.com), insoles generally come in all sizes up to size 15 for men. However, there are some insoles specifically designed for large feet. Here’s a list of some of them:

 

Sof Sole Athlete Insoles – these are available up to Men’s size 16.

 

Superfeet Green Insoles – these can be found up to Men’s Size 17, including insoles for wide feet.

 

Spenco Total Support Max Insoles – this brand can be found up to size 17 men’s shoes. Spenco Polysorb Wide Fit Walker Runner Insoles

 

Pedag Viva Insoles – these can be found up to size 18 men’s shoes.

 

SOLE Response and Ultra Footbeds – these are for men who have shoe sizes larger than than size 18. They can be found up to size 22.

 

ProThotics Therapeutic Diabetic Wide Insoles – If you’re diabetic, you know that it’s common for your feet to swell and sometimes the disease can cause deformations in the feet, too. Just having diabetes is enough to create large feet even if you were born with small feet, and this is due to something called Insulin Growth Factor that makes everything grow.

 

New Balance Pressure Relief Insoles Wide with Metatarsal Support IPR 3030 are made for those with shoe width sizes of 2Eto 6E.

Powerstep Wide Fit Orthotic Insoles fit feet that are between the sizes of 3E and 6E.

 

Birkenstock Blue Footbed Wide-Casual Arch Support Insoles are ones you’ll have to test to see if they’re wide enough for your feet.

It’s important to know that these large feet insoles is that they are constructed at least as good as those created for average feet – and that the sooner you can add them to your shoes, the better your feet will feel.
