Powerstep Wide Fit Orthotic Supports; maximum cushioning and support for those with wide feet.

Maximum Cushioning, Full Support

The Wide Fit Full Length orthotic insert has a semi-rigid polypropylene foot support sealed in two layers of foam -- inner VCT® Variable Cushioning Technology foam and a soft EVA outer foam -- that is calibrated for firmer arch support to resist "bottoming out" under weight.

The wider profile and stable heel cup better support and better fit wide-width shoes, while the permanent heat and friction-reducing top fabric with anti-microbial qualities combats foot odor and helps keep feet drier. Color: Gray. Fits widths 3E-6E and is available in 11 sizes: Men's 3-14 1/2 and Women's 5-16 1/2.

How do they work?
Powerstep orthotics were developed by a doctor of podiatric medicine to provide a unique foot support system that goes beyond "foot comfort". Powerstep orthotics can actually relieve pain and even prevent it from developing! Unlike standard insoles, Powerstep products take foot comfort and support further. Their unique design provides real support and stability to allow you to do the things you love, pain-free.

Powerstep orthotics support the foot with a polypropylene semi-flexible plastic arch support that is encapsulated between two layers of foam cushioning. An open arch area fully supports the foot and arch with enough spring and flexibility to maintain proper foot function and alignment. Powerstep is flexible enough to be comfortable, yet firm enough to achieve proper support.

Application Instructions for Full Length Orthotics:
Remove your shoes' existing insoles if possible. Insert the Powerstep orthotic into the shoe. If necessary, trim edges to fit using existing insoles as a guide for trimming. Ensure the orthotic is situated against the back of the shoe, hold the orthotic in place and slide the foot into he shoe.

Cleaning Instructions:
Spot clean with a mild detergent. Do not immerse in water. Air dry.
