Aetrex Charlotte Lace-Up Sneaker
Flat feet or feet that roll in? Paul usually adds the Aetrex Posted orthotic with met pad. See which orthotic fits.
About Overpronation
Shoes for it need to control that roll rather than cushion it: a stiff heel counter, a firm medial arch, and a sole that stays flat when you twist it. A posted orthotic, one built up on the inside edge, is often the single most effective change, and it works best in a shoe with a removable insole and enough depth to take it. Very soft foam and flexible barefoot-style shoes let the foot roll further and usually make things worse.
What I reach for first here: the Aetrex posted orthotic (also in a men's version), which is built specifically to control overpronation and drops into shoes you already own; the Orthofeet Yari and Nira, whose adjustable arch and extra depth pair well with that orthotic; and the Aetrex Kinsley when someone wants the support built into the sneaker itself.

FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers from our fitting team.
Which shoes help with this?
Look for a firm heel counter, real arch support, a cushioned but stable sole and a roomy toe box. The three pairs at the top of this page are the ones Paul starts with. If you are unsure, call us at (704) 846-0301 and we'll help you choose.
Which shoes make it worse?
Flat, flexible shoes with no arch support, worn-out sneakers, flip-flops and high heels usually make foot pain worse. So does walking barefoot on hard floors.
What width should I choose?
If shoes pinch across the widest part of your foot, or you have bunions or swelling, choose Wide. Orthofeet makes most styles in Medium, Wide and X-Wide. Our width guide explains the letters.
Do I need an orthotic too?
Not always. Many of these shoes already have good arch support. An orthotic helps when you want a firmer, measured arch, or want support in shoes you already own. Find the right orthotic in three questions.
What if they don't fit?
Call us first. Unworn pairs in the original packaging can be returned within 30 days. See our refund policy for the details.
Can I get fitted in person?
Yes. Visit our store in Matthews, NC, Monday to Saturday. Paul, our board-certified pedorthist, or Madi will measure your feet and help you choose. You can also call (704) 846-0301 for help by phone.
