Do these shoes have good arch support? I have very low arches and need support, but also have orthotics I can use if necessary.

Yes, they have decent arch support, there is built in arch support and an insert. You are able to remove the insert if you need to put in your own orthotics. I have worn these shoes all day long and find them Very comfortable. Hope this helps!

I would say light/medium arch support. The best arch support I've ever seen in an athletic shoe is by the brand Brooks, you should check that sneaker brand out. They are arch support specific so you can get light, medium, or high.

If you saw my review on these shoes, you will know my opinion as these shoes seemed to have left the factory too early. There is no support or comfort in these shoes. It is unfortunate because I find them very cool looking. I do a lot of walking at my job and I really needed supported comfort in a shoe. Sorry, I would not recommend these shoes for anyone.

No they don't I added those running arch supports, which made them much more comfortable.

Hi Charles, I purchased the Orthaheel 3/4 length insoles. I feel they are a little soft for me, so maybe you would like something firmer. I have a pair of Birkinstock 3/4 insoles and they are very firm. I would get them again. Best wishes, Elva Curley

You get one pair of orthotics. They come with four pair of removable arches: 1 low pair, 1 medium pair and 1 high pair. and a massage pair

I am not sure if these have a lower profile, but I have a low arch and they are very comfortable for me. I am not sure about the thinness either but my Dr told me that I should take any insoles that are already in the shoe out before I put these in.

only exceptionally light support unless you get one smaller than your arm which i do not suggest. you could cut off the toes of a tube sock if thats what you want..... :/

My pair's sort of a medium sky blue in color. If your sandals are very open, I think the supports will be visible. I wouldn't care as I prefer comfort over beauty.

Yes. I have low arches and basically flat feet. These are a little uncomfortable at first, but after breaking in are now very comgortable.. Hope you have the same results!

YES they will help. I only wear orthaheel shoes and have insert in all my other shoes (even my yard clogs) I am overweight and my ankles turn in and this helps keep them straight which then helps align my knees and hips I would buy them if I were you. (Also, you should go on the orthaheel website to see the video of how they work, very interesting)

If you're really flat-foot challenged, I would recommend going to an arthropod who is a pro at fitting orthotics and is connected with good labs who make them. I've tried buying them in stores and on line. But my feet and ankles are a mess, and the best solutions have come from the doctors.

The support provided in the middle of my foot helped with the heel pain I experienced, but it did not get rid of it. Wearing these socks with shoes that have good arch support is what really helped me. My best explanation for the benefits of these socks is my feet feel good when wearing them (which is a large part of the battle), although good shoes are what helps mine the most.

I have a high arch and they help me with the pain. I wear them all the time-except when sleeping.

I can't say for certain on the metatarsal support, but these are very well padded and they wear extremely well for a softer insole. The arch support is good, again for this type of insole. I have narrow feet and these have worked pretty well in casual shoes. Many insoles with this type of heel support are too wide to fit my shoes. These work and it is easy to trim the toe part. I hope that helps.

I can't say. All I know is that I have less foot and arch pain when I wear them. I would google "fallen arches" and "arch supports" to research the matter. All I know is they work for me, and they are cheaper on Amazon than in the local stores.

Yes, I have custom orthotics and they work just fine. I wear a women's size 9 narrow shoe and bought a medium Adjust-a-Heel Lift. I needed to trim it since it was too wide for my shoe. This size might work prefectly for a wide shoe, however.

Arch support was for my husband's shoes (size 8). Trimming is not needed. Seems to fit into shoe no matter the size.

Absolutely, go for it. I did, about, 15-yrs ago and now my once FLAT FEET have natural arches. Don't rush it, wear your orthotics for a half hour on day one and then go from there, depending on how you do. I've purchased all my orthotics from ArchCrafters, except for once. I recall that exception, orthotics from another company, was a total mistake cause I gave them to the dumpster. Not the ArchCrafters ; I still use my first pair of their orthotics. Right, they do not wear out. Hillbilly PS. The caviot from Amazon, "not suitable for flat feet", I must assume, is to protect against law suits. Lawyers...

Absolutely suitable! I went to an outdoor wedding with a cheap arch, & thought how much better MINE would have looked. I have vines growing on mine--don`t know if you have time for that. Maybe lights?
