When we need to use insoles due to the shape of our foot or because we have a physically demanding job, such as a waiter or shop assistant, it is common to think that we can only choose generic, plain shoes that, let's be honest, are not very attractive. And we are not referring to the "ugly sneakers" that are intentionally fashionable, but to models that simply lack any aesthetic care.
But this idea could not be further from the truth. Nowadays, many popular brands offer sneakers with wider lasts, which allow the integration of orthopedic insoles without sacrificing style or comfort. That is why we have prepared a selection of sneakers to wear an orthopedic insole without anyone noticing (nor feeling uncomfortable yourself).
What a sneaker should have if you use an orthopedic insole
Orthopedic insoles are usually customized according to each person's gait and anatomy. This means that, unlike commercial insoles, they usually have a wider last and, in many cases, greater thickness. Therefore, when choosing footwear, it is key to look for sneakers compatible with orthopedic insoles, which offer enough internal space, good support, and a stable base that does not compromise comfort or support.
Models that work especially well with insoles
If you are looking for options that combine comfort, design, and enough space for your insoles, these sneakers stand out for their functionality without giving up style. Here we leave you some models that adapt especially well to the use of orthopedic insoles.
New Balance models
These New Balance models stand out for their design and comfort, and are an excellent choice if you need to use orthopedic insoles. The New Balance 2002R and 9060 offer a wider last, good cushioning, and enough interior space to accommodate insoles without causing pressure or discomfort. Meanwhile, the New Balance 550, although they have a slightly tighter fit, can also work well if you choose half a size larger or if your insole is not very bulky. Altogether, they are versatile sneakers that combine support, style, and functionality.
ASICS Gel-Kayano 14
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 are another great option if you use orthopedic insoles. This model stands out for its excellent cushioning and a support system that stabilizes the foot well, which is key when integrating an additional insole. Furthermore, its technical design and last allow a comfortable fit without sacrificing interior space, making them a very reliable choice both for everyday use and for long days or moderate activity.
Air Jordan 4 Retro "Military Blue"
The Air Jordan "Military Blue" are an excellent choice within the Jordan universe if you need to integrate orthopedic insoles. This model is characterized by a wider last than other classic Jordans, especially in the forefoot area, which provides the necessary space for a custom insole without compromising the fit. Additionally, their sturdy design and sole with good cushioning make them a comfortable and very stylish alternative for those seeking extra support in their daily footwear.
Tips for choosing without sacrificing style
Wearing orthopedic insoles does not mean giving up design or settling for dull models. Nowadays, many brands bet on sneakers with modern shapes and a structure wide enough to adapt to your needs without losing style.
