More Structural Support Than the Stock New Balance Liner
New Balance builds a good shoe, no argument. But the thin foam liner inside most pairs is engineered to a price, not to your foot’s mechanics. If you’ve ever pulled out that flat factory insert and thought there should be more under the arch, you’re exactly who Colony Ortho RX is designed for. You were reading your own biomechanics correctly.

The Layer Against Your Arch Is the One That Aligns You
A running shoe’s midsole and outsole handle cushioning below the foot, but the layer pressed against your arch is what governs alignment. A flat factory insert leaves the medial arch unsupported, so the foot pronates a little further with each stride. That repeated inward collapse loads the plantar fascia and shifts forces up the kinetic chain, which is often where complaints in the shins, knees, and lower back begin. Add genuine arch support and you change the mechanics of every step, from the opening mile to the cooldown.
How Our Orthotic Upgrades the Pair You Own
Drop ours in and you add a structured, geometric arch frame the stock liner simply doesn’t provide. Conforming memory foam sits on top and distributes plantar pressure, while a gel layer beneath attenuates the heel-strike impact spike. It’s the kind of medical-grade upgrade podiatrists steer patients toward, and it performs the same in your New Balance trainers, your work boots, and most of what’s by the door.
- True structured arch support for pronation control, not a flat liner
- Memory foam that conforms to your foot’s exact contour
- Gel cushioning that attenuates impact on hard ground
- Drops easily into most athletic and casual footwear
- Just $29 a pair with FREE USA shipping

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pull out the factory New Balance liner before dropping this orthotic in?
Yes. Remove the flat stock insert so the orthotic sits directly on the footbed — stacking the two raises the heel and crowds the toe box. The removed liner also doubles as a trimming template: trace its outline onto our forefoot, cut along the guide, and the fit matches your shoe exactly.
If New Balance midsoles are already well-cushioned, what does an orthotic add?
The midsole cushions from below, but the layer pressed against your arch is what governs alignment — and the thin stock liner leaves the medial arch essentially unsupported. The orthotic adds a structured arch frame that resists excess pronation through stance, a mechanical job the shoe’s foam was never engineered to perform.
How does a flat liner under the arch end up causing shin or knee complaints?
With nothing supporting the medial arch, the foot pronates a little further on every stride. That repeated inward collapse loads the plantar fascia locally and shifts force up the kinetic chain, where shins, knees, and lower back absorb strain the arch should have managed. Supporting the arch changes those mechanics at the source.
Will the gel layer change how heel strike feels on pavement runs?
It should. The gel sits beneath the heel specifically to attenuate the impact spike at heel strike before it travels up the limb, while the memory foam above distributes plantar pressure across your whole footprint. The shoe’s familiar midsole response stays — the orthotic works on the layer between it and your foot.
