Shoes for arch supports? These are your best options at Floris van Bommel

Finding a good shoe is already a challenge. But with your own orthotics or personal footbed, it is even harder. Fit, space, and construction must be right. The good news is that at Floris van Bommel, we take this into account with many models. Every season, we offer a wide collection of shoes with a removable footbed that can be replaced with your own footbed or insoles.

Shoes with removable footbed: Best tip

Set the filter to shoes with a removable footbed. You can browse through the entire collection this way, or first select, for example, dress shoes and then filter for variants with a removable footbed. This way, you can immediately see which selection is suitable for orthotics.

Always clear in the product description

To make it extra easy for you, we indicate on the product page for every shoe whether it is suitable for orthotics. As soon as it states that the shoe is equipped with a removable footbed, it is suitable for your own footbed or insoles. You can find this information in both the product description and the features overview next to the text.

What should you look out for?

In addition to a removable footbed, there are two other important factors:

  1. 1. Closure A shoe with laces offers more adjustment options. This is certainly pleasant when using an insole. A derby closure generally offers just a little more room and flexibility than a more closed construction.
  2. 2. Width Need extra room? Then the last is crucial. Our sneakers are available in width G½ for the average foot and width H for the wider foot. With an insole, you often end up slightly higher in the shoe, so that extra width can make the difference between a good and a perfect fit.


Men's and women's sneakers with removable footbeds

For both men's sneakers and women's sneakers, all sneakers come standard with a removable footbed. This makes them immediately suitable for your own insoles. Combine that with the right width, and you have a comfortable base you can walk in all day long.

Dressed men's shoes with removable footbeds

Some of our dressed men's shoes also feature a removable footbed. The Terra is highly recommended in this regard. This is a full-fledged formal shoe on a flexible rubber sole, with a removable footbed that you can easily replace with your own insole. A second option is the Matra, a fully developed dress line in width I, specifically for wider feet. All models within this line have a removable footbed and are therefore immediately suitable for own insoles. The Matra is available in various models, colors, and materials.

In addition, there are also more casual lines that look smart and feature a removable footbed, such as the Sturdi, Lexer, Oister, and Crepi. Dress shoes for women with removable footbeds

In the women's collection, we also have several dress shoes for women with a removable footbed. The Zelmi line offers classic models such as a boot and a Chelsea, both suitable for use with your own footbed.

Women's and men's loafers with removable footbeds

For both women and men, there are loafers and slip-ons with a removable footbed. For women's loafers, the Bowie is available in a wide variety of materials and colors. For men's loafers, the choice is wider, including the Oister, Alba, and Lexer.

Orthotic insoles in shoes without removable footbeds

Even if a shoe does not have a removable footbed, there are often options. A half size larger or a size wider can quickly provide the extra space you need. If it works out well, this creates sufficient volume in the shoe to comfortably wear your own footbed.
