01 / Pressure over the instep
Make room above the arch too.
Tight laces can crowd the top of the foot. Adjust the instep, then walk to check the heel still stays held. Do not solve a poor shape match by leaving the boot loose.

Clear answers before you buy
Work Boots for Arch Pain: your questions answered.
Are arch pain and flat feet the same thing?
No. Arch pain is a symptom and flat feet describe a foot shape. A low arch may not hurt, and arch pain can occur with different foot shapes. Persistent symptoms need individual assessment.
Can tight work boots contribute to uncomfortable arches?
A tight instep or an insert that presses into the arch can make the fit uncomfortable. Recheck lace tension, boot shape, width and depth rather than assuming more support will solve the pressure.
Should I add a second insole for arch pain?
Do not automatically stack inserts. Extra height can reduce toe room and change heel position. Follow individual advice and check the exact boot’s removable footbed and depth.
How do I compare 2E and 4E widths?
Check the options on the exact product and try your normal work socks. Compare forefoot room, instep pressure and heel hold. A wider fit adds width; unnecessary extra length can leave the heel loose.
How can I try the boots before choosing?
Use the Ergonx stockist finder and contact the store about models and sizes. Bring your work socks and any orthotic you use. You can also compare the model-specific size guide before ordering online.
What happens if the boots do not feel good?
Ergonx offers a 30-day comfort guarantee. If they do not feel good, send them back for a full refund. Contact the Ergonx team to arrange the return.
