Just like you have a whole closet full of different pairs of shoes, you also need a closet of different pairs of arch supports and orthotic insoles. The number 1 reason why this is true is because the insoles that come inside a pair of new shoes are not fitted to your feet. The manufacturer expects you to replace them if your feet are anything less than perfect.
Are your feet less than perfect? Perfect arch? Did you know only 15% of the population has a proper neutral arch? Perfect toes – no hammertoes, corns, or mallet toes? Perfect ball of the foot? No pain in the ball of your foot, calluses, or neuromas? What about your heel? Perfect heel? Or are you troubled with one or more of these conditions? If so, the chances are good that you have tired or painful feet at least 33% of the time.
If you wear casual or dress shoes, chances are you have some favorite pairs of shoes that crowd the toes a little bit, you will want ¾ orthotic insoles for these shoes. Use the full length orthotic arch supports for your other shoes (such as athletic). The ¾ orthotic arch supports allow your toes some extra wiggle room for the piggly-wigglies. But don’t worry about the ¾ orthotic insoles lacking in other areas. They won’t. They’ll still have metatarsal arch supports and heel cups if the manufacturer put them in the full length orthotic arch supports version.
Thus, the only difference is the comfort of being able to move your toes more in tighter-fitting shoes.
