Top 10 Tools for Arch Support Reviewed

Arch support tools are always risky, as they can add unnecessary bulk around your arches that will make them cramp up. Socks are already a must when you walk, and by buying a pair that has built-in arch support is good for your wallet and for your arches. The Razer Trail is made out of recycled nylon, polyamide, and elastane. These materials are not low-quality - instead, they were resurrected to be the better version of themselves, creating features that no other sock has. They were also treated with Polygiene, a technology that makes washing the socks as often as you normally would obsolete. Polygiene fights off dirt, sweat, and bacteria that cause bad odors.

The Razer Trail is a sock that has no seams on the toes. When you move, be it walking or running, your toes need the room to wiggle, and when they do, they will move the socks around in your footwear. If the seams on the socks protrude, they create friction and rub against your skin. This can create hot spots and blisters, and when you're already suffering from arch pain or plantar fasciitis, blisters are the last thing you need. Seamless toes completely prevent blisters from developing, so the only thing you will have to fight off is arch pain. But thanks to the arch support these socks have, you won't even have to do that! Your feet will get all the support they need to keep you moving, pain-free. When you flip the Razer Trail upside, you will see some raised areas. These areas are the cushions, strategically placed around the soles to protect your feet from the impact and shock when you walk. They evenly distribute pressure and help your arches do their job even better. The top of the sock has breathable mesh zones, and they help air circulate in and out of the sock, keeping you dry and cool. Rockay is very sure that the Trail won't fail you, and as extra assurance, they offer a lifetime guarantee. If anything goes wrong with the socks, you can always tell them and expect a new pair to come flying to you!

The Flare is made out of 50% Econyl Regenerated Nylon, 46% Recycled Polyamide, and 4% Recycled Elastane. As you can see, these materials are all recycled, once again showing Rockay's passion towards leaving a greener future for the next generations. The toes of the Flare are seamless, which is very important, because once you start running you will create friction, and the fewer bumps the socks have, the less friction you will experience, making blisters a thing of the past. The Flare has performance cushioning, placed in all the right areas to support your feet and to shield them from all kinds of terrain. There is a little logo on top of the top band, reflecting every source of light like a beacon to warn people of your presence. Breathable mesh zones sit on top of the socks, inviting cool air in while shooing warmer air out. And of course, the Flare has excellent arch support that is sure to help you fight your pain. Rockay offers a lifetime guarantee for this pair as well, leaving you protected if the socks fail you in any way.

The one thing you have to know about this brace is that it is not a pair. If you order this product, you will only get a brace meant for the right foot. You will also have to carefully select your size. The braces do not follow shoe sizes - instead, you will have to measure your ankle circumference. If you're not sure how to do that precisely, BRD sports has a video guide on their website that will show you how to do this the right way. If you're between sizes, go for the smaller size as the brace will stretch. This ankle brace is made out of medical-grade materials, registered by the FDA, so you know you're getting a tested and safe product. They are latex-free, odor-free, but they must be hand washed if you don't want them to shrink. 3D knitting technology was used to create the best possible fit, without any seams to irritate and pinch you. The materials are moisture-wicking and breathable, saving you from sweat and bad odors.

The four-way compression prevents fatigue and swelling without affecting the range of movement. An adjustable arch strap allows you to customize the amount of support and the fit. Silicone pads placed underneath the heels, close to the arches, massage your feet and improve circulation. This makes the recovery time faster, and if you need arch support due to an injury, you can expect to start feeling better in no time! The brace will keep your ankles and feet properly aligned, fighting off any possible cause of pain or fatigue!

These compression foot sleeves were made for people with plantar fasciitis, the most common problem arising thanks to problematic arches. The sleeves will support the arches and the heels, aligning the feet back to their natural positions. Their gentle compression will prevent fatigue, swelling, and pain while improving recovery rates and blood circulation. The high-quality fabrics are moisture-wicking, and since your feet are the sweatiest areas on your body, it's really important that anything that touches your feet has the ability to remove sweat. The sleeves are also anti-odor, preventing bacteria from thriving. There are four sizes to choose from, following the thickness of your arches. Their toeless design gives the toes the freedom to wiggle and splay, and it also keeps the stale air moving. This is why you can comfortably wear these sleeves all day long. The tighter top band and arch band keeps the sleeves in place, preventing friction and pain.

The Vive Arch Support Brace gently lifts your arches, supporting them in order to bring relief to many foot conditions that can be very painful, such as heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, sprains, and strains. The compression it offers is gentle and pushes the arches up, promoting blood flow and reducing fatigue. The brace has three little pouches securely knitted to the bottom. These pouches can hold up to three gel inserts. You can add or remove these gel inserts to adjust the intensity of the support this brace offers you. Their low-profile makes them compatible with almost all shoes and sandals, regardless if you wear socks or don't. The strong fastener strap is secure and but comfy, allowing you to adjust the level of compression and the way the brace fits you. The inner lining is made out of materials that prevent slipping and bunching, so don't worry about blisters or unwanted pain! The brace is lightweight and breathable, remaining cool and dry throughout the day.

The Spenco Rx Orthotic Insoles are full length, covering your whole soles to give your heels, toes, and arches the protection and support they need. Arch support is not all about extra cushions underneath that lift them though, and Spenco is well aware of that. This is why this insole has a special shock-absorbing layer that creates optimal comfort! The arch insert is moldable, adjusting itself to the shape of your arches. No arch was created equally, as you have people who suffer from problems cause either by low arches or high arches, so it's wise to create an insole that can help in both cases. There are seven different sizes to choose from, made both for men and women, and it's vital you go for the right one if you want proper support and protection. The four-way stretch fabric allows you to move freely, while the silpure antimicrobial layer fights off bacteria and keeps you odor and sweat-free. The antimicrobial layer is also anti-blister, so these insoles will minimize the risk of any foot issues you are afraid of!

This low-profile brace will bring relief from any kind of foot ailment, be it foot spurs, plantar fasciitis, or a simple strain. Their lightweight, thin construction and a firm grip on your skin make` them the ideal fit for any kind of shoe. They are also rather small and white, so they won't be visible no matter how they try. You can also wear socks over them, just make sure the socks are not already padded to avoid creating bulk. The silicone they are made out of is medical-grade, meaning it won't fall apart after one use, and it will not irritate your skin in any way. Their ergonomic design mimics the natural, normal arch of your foot, creating an excellent fit. The pads are durable, can be safely washed with soap and water, and they can be used time and time again! They come in a pair of two, so you can wear the clean one while the dirty one takes a break.

The insoles are made out of plush and durable medical-grade polyurethane gel. This gel is completely safe to use, and it will mold itself to your shape in mere seconds, bouncing back to its original shape as soon as you take your shoes off. They are self-adhesive, so they won't slide around when you walk. The adhesive won't disintegrate when you wash the insoles. Before you stick them inside your shoes, make sure there is enough room for them. You can do this by placing the pads without removing the plastic film covering the adhesive, and once you're sure you can fit comfortably, remove the tape and place them where your arches are. The pad will gently massage your feet, improving circulation and recovery time.

The deep heel cup cradles your heels, stabilizing the feet and cushioning them while you move, or stand. These insoles are very durable, keeping their shape which delivers support and comfort up to 12 months, or 500 miles. The insoles were specifically made for women's feet, having a slimmer construction and a shorter arch curve to create the best possible fit. The heel impact pod disperses impact so you can walk and run without pain.

The insoles stabilize the arches and the surrounding tissues, minimizing excessive foot motion that sets off pain. Their cushy surface and soft padding reduce the stress your joints feel when you run, as the stress usually causes the pain and aches you feel in the first place. This insole should be used instead of the sock liner or removable inserts in your footwear - if you cannot take out the insoles, do not attempt to layer this insole on top of the existing one. It will create bulk and cramp up your feet, which is the opposite of what these insoles are supposed to do!
