Frequently asked questions

Will this cushion flatten out after long wear?

No, the Alimed Freedom XPE is specifically engineered with a semirigid construction that resists compression. Unlike standard foam insoles, it is designed to maintain its structural integrity and will not bottom out during daily use.

Is this suitable for custom-made orthotics?

Yes, this insole serves as an excellent clinical foundation. Its robust XPE foam, nylon, and plastic design provides a stable base layer that clinicians often use when crafting custom-fabricated orthotic solutions for patients.

Can I trim or modify these insoles?

Absolutely. These insoles are highly customizable and can be easily adapted to your specific needs through grinding or the application of glue. This allows for a tailored fit or the addition of extra support components.

How much of the shoe does this cover?

This is a half-length design. It is specifically crafted to support the arch and mid-foot area without taking up unnecessary space in the toe box, making it highly versatile for various footwear styles.

Will this size 5 fit my shoes?

This Size 5 model is designed to fit the following shoe ranges:

  • Men’s: 10.5 to 11
  • Women’s: 11

Because it is a half-length orthotic, it is intended to provide specific support to the arch and mid-foot within those size constraints.

What is the material composition?

The insole is constructed from a specialized blend of XPE foam, nylon, and plastic. This combination is chosen specifically to provide a balance of comfort and the necessary rigidity to support foot alignment.

How firm is this insert?

It is categorized as semirigid. This means it provides more structural support than a standard cushioned insole, helping to maintain natural arch support and foot positioning without being overly rigid or uncomfortable.

Is this intended for daily use?

Yes, it is designed for extended daily wear. The material properties are specifically engineered to resist the wear-and-tear that typically causes softer insoles to lose their shape over time.

Does it require professional installation?

While it is a professional-grade clinical tool, the insole can be used as a standalone base. However, if you are looking to modify the shape or integrate it into a complex custom orthotic, professional adaptation (grinding or gluing) is the intended method for the best results.

Does this provide lateral support?

Yes, the contoured design features raised edges that help provide lateral support and containment, ensuring the foot stays properly positioned throughout the day.
