Do you recommend Hoka's with insoles AND custom orthotics or should I remove their insoles and use only my custom orthotics?
Hello, I have been wearing my new Hoka's Clifton 7's for around 2 weeks now, finally feeling the comfort as in no heel pain but I was hoping they had more of a bounce as I am already flat-footed. How many of you wear Hoka's as they are or remove their insole and put your own orthotic in? Trying to find a solution that makes them feel less flat. ThanksAsked 2 years ago
