The GXT Fiberglass Full Foot Insoles - Flat are thicker, rigid orthotic inserts designed to stiffen shoes, limiting motion in the midfoot and forefoot within the shoe. A shoe's rigidity or flexibility significantly affects the biomechanical properties of the foot and ankle. Shoe rigidity is important when treating fractures or arthritis of the midfoot or forefoot. By Myfootshop.com. 1 pair per pack.

• Puncture resistant insoles, protecting the foot from injury.
• Maximum rigidity - almost inflexible.
• No arch support or toe spring contour.
• Not recommended for atheltic use - too rigid.

Place the GXT Fiberglass Full Foot Insoles - Flat beneath the shoes' existing insoles, or wear them with an over-the-counter insert or prescription orthotic. It is important to wear your plates in shoes that do not have a very flexible sole, as the lack of rigidity will put stress on your plate when you flex your foot, which could cause the plate to crack.

Sizing: We strongly suggest that you use length rather than shoe size as the determining factor in deciding which size to purchase. The best method is to take your current insole out of your shoe and measure it from the back of the heel to the tip of the toe, then choose a plate that is slightly shorter than your current insert.

Dimensions: Medium width only. 1/8" thick. See individual sizes for length and the Measurements tab above for detailed dimensions.

Indications - The GXT Fiberglass Full Foot Insoles - Flat are used to treat metatarsal stress fractures, Freiberg's infraction, turf toe, midfoot arthritis and hallux limitus.

Foot Care Tip! What are the differences between all of the carbon/glass fiber plates sold at Myfootshop.com?

• GXT Fiberglass Full Foot Insoles - Flat contain no arch support or toe spring. Recommended for metatarsal fractures and midfoot arthritis.
• Turf Toe Plates are thin, 3/4-length, unfinished glass fiber inserts made either with or without arch supports. The extension on turf toe plates underneath the great toe (called a Morton's extension) is best for hallux limitus, turf toe and hallux rigidus.
• Hallux Trainers are full-length, finished carbon graphite inserts with a Morton's extension that have the same indications as turf toe plates.
• XLT Carbon Fiber Spring Plate Graphite Insole is an ultra-thin carbon graphite, full-length arch support. A toe spring creates a forefoot rocker, off-loading forefoot pain. Recommended for metatarsal fractures, forefoot capsulitis, forefoot bursitis, and Freiberg's infraction.

Disclaimer: Shoe designs (called the shoe last) vary so much that matching insoles and shoes is never a precise science. Placing a rigid insert (XLT Spring Plate, Halluxthotics™ GXT Fiberglass Turf Toe Arch Supports, Flat Turf Toe Plate, GXT Fiberglass Full Foot Insoles - Flat) into your shoe may cause wear. The rigidity of these carbon and glass fiber inserts may damage the softer cloth shoe last. Myfootshop.com is not responsible for any damage to your shoes that may be caused by the use of these products.

Return Policy: Defective Insoles & Arch Supports may be returned for replacement or credit up to 6 months from the date of purchase. Here's a link to our return policies and procedures.
