Anyone try the Callaway Golf Aetrex insoles

Anyone here tried the Callaway Golf Aetrex insoles. I have flat feet and have been having a lot of trouble with my feet the last couple months after walking 9-18 holes. These insoles have a model for flat/low arched feet but they are about $70. I hate to spend that much for a pair of insoles but if they help they would be worth it.

I have to tell you right off the bat that they are the best orthotic that I have discovered that are off the shelf (as contrasted to custom made). I tried Spenco's first as the price was right, but they didn't provide the support necessary for someone like me who has flat feet and overpronates. I wore them in my Adidas shoes for 5 hours this afternoon and they felt great. I paid $70 for them and they are worth every penny.

Ideally you should take your shoes to the store that carries them, remove the shoe liner and introduce the Aetrex so that the fit is right. I just brought them to the attention of my internist who is a runner. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I plan on getting a new pair of shoes this week anyway so I'll probably get a pair of Aetrex with them. If they help I'll get some for my older shoes.

For your other shoes you can get the same orthotics made by the same company under the trade name of Lynco at a discount by going to
www.jimmytheshoedoctor.com . The Callaway Aetrex orthotic is specially made
and uses some different materials that I believe has some antimicrobial capability. I bought the Callaway first and have no regrets. The Lynco by Aetrex I've already placed in my running shoes and soon will go in my dress shoes.

Since you will be getting new shoes, might I suggest you try them on later in the afternoon rather than the morning as this is the time when your feet are bigger. And don't be rushed into buying your shoes. Try them on and spend some time walking in them in the store. Remember you might need to go a size larger and/or wider to accommodate the orthotic insert (even with the shoe liner/insert removed). Best of luck!
