Do I need separate orthotic insoles for different shoes?

Yes, you will need separate orthotics for dress shoes and sneakers. Custom insoles are designed for a specific type of shoe, at your request. However, you can interchange insoles between similar shoes. Upstep offers a discount for two pairs, so you could get one pair for flats, sneakers and running shoes, and another pair for dress shoes.

While your work shoe provides minimal pain relief, using a custom orthotic will do more. For effectiveness, you will need multiple orthotics since different types of shoes require varying orthotics. What works for dress shoes will not work for work shoes, so your orthotics provider will help you make variations in the design.
