Can you put custom-made insoles in soccer cleats?
Hey everyone My son plays soccer at school, and he loves it. But he often complains about his feet being sore and achy after a game and long after. I have had a feeling that it has to do with the lack of support the shoes provide. Does anyone here know where we can get something like this checked out and if it would be possible to use custom-made insoles? Any guidance would help!Asked 2 years ago

Are custom orthotics covered by FSA?
Does anyone know if shoe orthotics are FSA-eligible? I want to get custom shoe insoles/orthotics with my FSA credit.
