The Best Insoles for Altras
SOLE Wide footbeds are supportive insoles with a wide toe box specifically designed to fit Altra shoes.
Finding supportive insoles to comfortably fit Altras can be a challenge. Most supportive insoles are made to fit regular ‘shoe-shaped’ footwear, rather than ‘foot-shaped’ footwear.
SOLE Wide footbeds feature a wide toe-box, specifically designed for fitting seamlessly in Altras and other shoes that allow your toes to spread naturally.
In this post we’ll discuss the many other factors that make our Wide footbeds the perfect arch support inserts for Altra shoes.
Arch support insoles with a wide toe box.
SOLE Wide footbeds feature our Signature Supportive Shape, with a wide forefoot specifically for fitting in shoes with a wide toe box. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of allowing your toes to spread, while also supporting your feet from beneath.
Our supportive arch is clinically proven to reduce strain in your feet by an average of 34%. This makes our footbeds especially effective for helping anyone who suffers from plantar fasciitis. Less strain also means less chance of fatigue, pain and overuse injuries for anybody running or hiking in Altras.
The supportive arch in our insoles is also built on a dynamic, density-mapped platform. This means that the arch flexes with your foot as you step, relieving strain without controlling your foot’s natural motion.

Zero drop insoles for Altras.
One of the key elements of Altras and many wide toe box shoes is a zero drop platform. The heel sits at the same height as the ball of the foot, just as nature intended.
The SOLE Signature Supportive Shape has a deep heel cup that ensures the heel and forefoot are at the exact same height. This means you can add SOLE Wide insoles to your Altras without altering the heel-to-toe drop of the shoe.
Insoles for neutral alignment in Altras.
The SOLE Signature Supportive Shape combines arch support with a deep heel cup to promote neutral alignment in your feet, ankles and legs.
This helps ensure your body is working on a stable base, with efficient energy transfer through your chain of motion. SOLE Wide insoles are especially effective at correcting pronation and supination in Altras.
Walking or running with neutral alignment also helps your body absorb impact more efficiently, a key consideration for anybody running or hiking long distances in wide toe box shoes like Altras.
Custom orthotics for Altras.
Many people turn to wearing Altras after dealing with a foot ailment that requires prescription orthotic support. SOLE footbeds are all custom moldable to your unique feet and arch height.
This means you can get support for your unique feet, at a fraction of the expense of prescription orthotics. Simply wear the footbeds in your Altras over a few days, and they’ll mold gradually to your feet. Or you have the option of heat molding the footbeds in your oven at home to speed up the molding process.
With a custom moldable base and a wide toe box, SOLE insoles are a perfect fit for your Altras and your unique feet.
Flat feet insoles for Altras.
SOLE Wide footbeds offer all the arch support you need to add structure and comfort for flat feet in Altras. The custom molding process allows you to get just the right amount of support for your arches.
We recommend that people with flat feet go straight to heat molding their insoles. This will allow the arch height to quickly adjust to your feet, offering you a more comfortable level of support.
With a good level of arch support beneath your feet, you will experience less fatigue and strain in your Altras, allowing you to enjoy being on your feet for longer.
Which SOLE footbeds for Altras?
Our Wide footbeds come in a medium Thickness, with a layer of cushioning that’s excellent at absorbing repeated impacts in your Altras. They’re available in two different material types.
The Active Wide Medium is made from super durable EVA. This material is best if you’re likely to get your shoes wet on a regular basis, or if you will be swapping your insoles between different pairs of shoes regularly.
The Performance Wide Medium is made using recycled natural wine corks. This natural, sustainable material offers extra impact absorption, insulation and molds to your feet more quickly through wear.
With either of these insoles you’ll upgrade the comfort of your Altras and protect yourself from pain and injury while allowing your toes to spread naturally.
