Insoles and Foot Orthotics for Arch Support and Alignment
Insoles and foot orthotics provide arch support, cushioning and alignment for plantar fasciitis, flatfoot, general foot fatigue and biomechanical support. This category groups prefabricated arch-support insoles, full-length and three-quarter orthotics, gel and foam insoles and heat-moldable shells stocked across podiatry, orthopedics and rehabilitation.
Insole and Orthotic Types Stocked
- Prefabricated arch-support insoles - Semi-rigid full-length insoles with a molded arch and heel cup for plantar fasciitis and flatfoot support. Stocked in graded men and women shoe sizes.
- Three-quarter orthotics - Shorter shells that support the arch and rearfoot without a forefoot extension, for use in dress and lower-volume shoes.
- Gel and foam cushioning insoles - Full-length gel or PU foam insoles for shock absorption and general comfort.
- Heat-moldable orthotic shells - Thermoplastic shells that a clinician molds to the foot for a semi-custom fit.
- Trim-to-fit insoles - Universal insoles cut to shoe size with a size guide.

Shell Rigidity and Material Construction
Insoles are stocked across a range from soft cushioning to semi-rigid support. Cushioning insoles use gel or PU foam for shock absorption without correcting alignment. Arch-support insoles add a molded semi-rigid shell with a deep heel cup that supports the arch and controls rearfoot motion. Heat-moldable shells use a thermoplastic that a clinician warms and forms to the foot. Cover materials include antimicrobial top cloth, suede and foam. Insoles are sized to shoe size or trimmed to fit; the size run and material for each line are on the product records.
Insoles and foot orthotics are among the highest-count foot care SKUs in podiatry and orthopedic inventories, moving in steady volume across full men and women size runs. Stocking a prefabricated arch-support line across the size range keeps clinic dispensing immediate and case pricing consistent. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cushioning insole and an arch-support orthotic?
A cushioning insole uses gel or foam to absorb shock and add comfort without changing foot alignment. An arch-support orthotic adds a molded semi-rigid shell with a heel cup that supports the arch and controls rearfoot motion for plantar fasciitis and flatfoot. Both are stocked; the arch-support lines, such as Powerstep and Superfeet, carry more structure than cushioning insoles.
What is the difference between a full-length and a three-quarter orthotic?
A full-length orthotic extends from heel to toe and replaces the shoe's existing insole, while a three-quarter orthotic ends behind the ball of the foot to support the arch and rearfoot in shoes with limited depth. Both are stocked across shoe-size runs. The length and fit options are listed on each product.
What are heat-moldable orthotic shells?
Heat-moldable orthotic shells are thermoplastic blanks that a clinician warms and forms to a patient's foot for a semi-custom fit without sending out for a fully custom device. They are stocked as blanks sized to shoe size. The molding method and size range are noted on the product records.
Can hospitals and clinics order insoles and foot orthotics in bulk?
Yes. Insoles and foot orthotics are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, podiatry and orthopedic clinics, long-term care facilities and licensed distributors, and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-velocity SKUs - prefabricated arch-support insoles and gel cushioning insoles across the shoe-size run. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What insole and foot orthotic products should be included in a facility formulary?
A working insole and foot orthotic formulary typically carries a prefabricated arch-support insole line across the men and women shoe-size run, a three-quarter orthotic for dress shoes, gel and foam cushioning insoles, and trim-to-fit universal insoles. Podiatry programs add heat-moldable shells for semi-custom fitting. MAP Medical builds consolidated formulary packages matched to facility type and patient volume - contact our team for an assessment.
