Insoles…expensive mistake??

[gostovp]

So I’ve had a few posts on here recently about custom insoles I’ve recently purchased ( a pair made locally and some Sheepfeet)… and I’m wondering if I’ve made an expensive mistake as my feet seem less comfortable when I’m wearing them… especially my left arch. I’ve worn both pairs for several hours the past few days and wake up in the morning and my left arch just kinda aches. And even when wearing each pair it seems like the arch is uncomfortable.

Could it be the shoes I have them in while trying to break them in? ( I’m wearing them in a pair of New Balance trainers)?
I have flat feet that are kind are borderline wide, but I don’t seem to pronate much if at all.
Are they guys that have tried these custom inserts and found that a plain ol’ stock inset actually works better?

Those insoles are only as good as the mold you got from them. I've done them with two different companies and both times I really need more arch but they instructions they have you do never result in the full thing like having a podiatrist mold them. Having said that my Sheepfeet are OK and they do help, but do what makes your feet feel best and if your stock insoles give you less foot pain that sounds like the way to go. I have some boots I still use Superfeet in, for some reason I can't remember right now they just overall fit better.
