Ariat Energy Max Work Insole (Wide Square Toe)

If you wear western-style pull-on work boots, you've probably tried a regular insole and found it didn't fit. Wide square toe boots are a different shape at the front, and most insoles are cut for a round toe. Ariat solves that with an insole shaped for its own boots.

The Energy Max Work insole comes in wide square toe and round toe versions. Pick the one that matches your boot. Inside, a rebound foam layer cradles the foot and spreads out pressure, and an open-cell foam layer helps regulate temperature. The anatomically shaped cushioning is designed to hold up over long days.

The liner wicks moisture and uses Agion antimicrobial technology to fight odor, which matters in pull-on boots that don't breathe as well as lace-ups. With more than 4,600 Amazon ratings averaging 4.6 stars, it's well liked by people who wear Ariat boots.

This is a cushioning insole, not a corrective one. The arch support is moderate, so if you need serious support, you're better off with a PowerStep or Superfeet, assuming you can find one that fits a square toe.

It's also designed around Ariat's boot shapes. It will fit many other wide square toe western boots, but check the shape against your current insole before you buy.

If you wear Ariat or similar western work boots and your factory insoles are worn flat, this is the easiest way to get the comfort back.
