What regular insoles do
Regular insoles add cushioning and a bit of comfort for everyday wear.
What orthotic insoles do
Orthotic-style insoles add structured arch support for more targeted backing during daily use.
Different routines
If you want light cushioning, a regular insole fits. If you want structured arch support, an orthotic-style insole fits.
Choosing between them
Match the support to where you feel loaded and how much structure you want.
