Most Orthotic Friendly Soccer Cleats

You play soccer and wear orthotics but are having trouble finding soccer cleats that will fit your orthotics.  Below, is a list of the most orthotic friendly soccer cleats.  This is a partial list as the best way to find soccer cleats that have room for orthotics is to go to the shoe store yourself and fit your orthotic into the soccer cleat.  What you are looking for in a soccer cleat to fit your orthotics is a soccer cleat that is wide  with a removable insole.  Those are the two main features you should investigate in a soccer cleat that will accomodate an orthotic.

1.  You want a soccer cleat that has depth. The deeper the cleat the less it is likely to rub against your foot and have plenty of room for your orthotic.

2. Removable insole-  this is by far the most important trait.  A removable insole can simply be removed from your shoe and then your orthotic placed in the shoe.  If you plan on wearing orthotics while playing soccer this is more or less a requirement.

Here are some examples of soccer cleats that are orthotic friendly:
