Which Insole? 3/4 vs. Light

Which Insole? 3/4 vs. Light
Orange Insoles offer support for everyone, no matter the profession or the shoe. If you need extra support we’ve got you covered (so to speak). But, you need to make sure you’re getting the right amount of support and this means the right insole for the right shoe or situation. 
We have three great options but here we’re going to cover the two most versatile options
Let’s dig into the difference between the Orange Insole Light and the Orange Insole 3/4

Orange Insole 3/4

Orange Insoles 3/4 Length has the same support as the Full Length, but provides versatility in your footwear options. It has a deep heel cup which stabilizes the heel and provides natural shock absorption. It provides cushion from heel to arch while providing maximum support. The medial arch support aligns the lower extremities and distributes body weight evenly across the arch. The metatarsal pad evenly distributes forefoot pressure. No need to pull anything out of your shoes. Just slide them in and you are ready to go.  

Types of Shoes 

Best Insole For: 

Industries/Professions

This insole is great for professions with high milage, hard floors and/or long days standing

Orange Light

Our slimmest, lightest design, Orange Light provides essential support for both your metatarsal and medial arch.  This insert is designed to fit into a shoe with limited space where an Orange full length or even 3/4 would not be suitable. Orange Light is our slim, low-profile insole for shoes that don't have liners or a lot of space inside them. Just slide Orange Light in, and go.

Types of Shoes

Best Insole For: 
  • Close fitting dress shoes 
  • Flats 
  • Cleats 
  • High heels
  • Casual footwear without a removable liner

Industries/Professions

This slimmer profile insole provides  a great option for shoes with limited space.  The thinner design provides less overall support compared to the 3/4.  Best for thin profile footwear and limited time on feet. 
  • Office
  • Administration 
  • Education 
  • Transportation 
The type of insole you choose will really depend on the amount of room you have in your shoe. More room would allow for the more supportive 3/4 insole.  Less room would require the thinner profile of the Light. Your activity level may also help choose the correct insole. Activities that rack up miles or standing for long periods of time would benefit from the 3/4.  Reduced activities would do well with the thinner profile, less support of the Light.
No matter the shoe or activity, Orange Insoles can offer the support you need
