These insoles are designed to work with all three arches of the foot to provide balance and function, as well as to help strengthen the foot's muscles.

Available in three arch heights (low, medium, and high) and two thickness levels (Premier 5mm and thin 2mm), Arch Flex Insoles have been engineered to deliver a truly custom and supportive fit.
