Wearing Insoles?

Do you remove the insoles that come in shoes so you can wear the insoles the doctor wants you to wear? The reason i ask this is because some people that i know that wear the cheap store bought insoles do not remove the original insoles that come inside theirs shoes but my doctor told me to remove the original insoles that come in new shoes.

Wearing Insoles?
I was told by my doctor to remove the insoles that come with the shoes, put the purchased insoles in, and then put the shoe insoles on top.


I do wear an orthodic arch support but it%26#039;s not much different than the good ones (more expensive) ones you can buy in stores. I do the same no matter which I%26#039;m wearing.
Reply:I have Arthritis and insoles that were made for me, had to have my feet plastered. As for the shoes? Well originally I was using temporary insoles designed by a Physiotherapist, have two sets, while I waited to have the feet plastered. During that time I purchased another pair of trainers. However, people with Arthritis need to make sure the shoes are broad, especially in the toe cap area. The best time to buy shoes mid afternoon about 3pm as by then the feet are swollen, so you will have room to expand. Then when you see the Technician, they will take the shoe and put the custom insoles inside. Reason being the mold has to be cut to fit the shoe, making sure it is %26#039;flat%26#039; on the inside of the shoe. Now my molded insoles are only half length, so the toes are not resting on anything except the bottom of the unpadded shoe. Therefore I have to wear my half shoe insets with the insole supplied with the shoe. Therefore, if you buy shop insoles, you remove the insole that came with the shoe. If you see a Podiatrist, the technician who makes the mold, will inform you what to do, depending on if you need a full insole or half insole. Best of Luck
Reply:If you got custom insoles made for your shoes, you shoudl probably wear them and remove the ones that came with your shoes. This can be tricky as certain shoes don%26#039;t fit with custom orthotics. Most than anything, your comfort should dictate your choices. If your new insoles work on top of the ones in shoes and feel comfy, then do that.
