Active Insoles
High-Performance Orthotic Insoles for Running, Walking, and High-Arch Foot Pain
Your shoes came with flat foam insoles that do almost nothing. The Doc Ortho Active Insoles replace that foam with a multi-density footbed, dual arch support, and a heat-moldable core that can be shaped to match the specific contour of your foot. Designed for runners, walkers, hikers, and anyone whose knees or feet have started protesting the miles.
Designed for real life. Backed by medi's medical-grade expertise.
Key Features
- Multi-Density Footbed: Targeted padding at the heel strike and ball of foot absorbs impact where forces are highest. The mid-arch stays firmer for lasting support.
- Dual Arch Support: Contoured to support both the lengthwise arch (heel to toe) and crosswise arch (ball of foot), helping reduce pronation and supination that can cause knee tracking problems.
- Heat-Moldable Core: Shaped through body heat over a few days or a brief heating method, creating an insole that matches your specific arch height and foot contour.
- Shock Absorption for Joints: Reduces impact energy traveling through the ankle, knee, and hip during high-mileage walking and running.
Best For
- High arches, the foot type most prone to lateral loading and outer-knee pain
- Knee pain from poor foot alignment during running and walking
- Foot fatigue during athletic activity, long hikes, and high-mileage days
- Plantar fasciitis and arch pain during high-impact activity
How to Use
- Remove the original insole from your athletic or walking shoe.
- Place the Active Insole flat inside the shoe.
- Trim to fit if necessary, using the original insole as a template.
-
Wear for a few hours initially and gradually increase wear time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are insoles helpful for high arches?
Contoured arch support helps distribute weight more evenly across the foot, which may reduce the foot and knee discomfort common with high arches.
Can insoles help with knee pain from running?
Insoles that support the arch and reduce excessive pronation may help lower strain on the knee joint during running.
What does heat-moldable mean for an insole?
A heat-moldable core softens with warmth and conforms to your foot shape, creating a semi-custom fit without an orthotics appointment.
How long do orthotic insoles last with daily athletic use?
Most quality orthotic insoles last six to 12 months. Replace them when cushioning feels flat or arch support has lost its shape.
Can active insoles be used in hiking boots?
Yes. Remove the stock insole first for the best fit and support.
What is the difference between active insoles and plantar fasciitis insoles?
Active insoles prioritize dual-arch support and shock absorption. Plantar fasciitis insoles focus on a deep heel cup and targeted fascial tension relief.
