The arch support extends below the arch and may be positioned along an inside edge of the insole. The 3-degree rearfoot post is configured to extend below an outside edge of a user's foot. The rearfoot post may be integral to the bottom layer of the insole and have a durometer of approximately 55. The rearfoot post may extend the full length of the insole but may have a width that is substantially smaller than the width of the insole. The insole may extend varying lengths, including the full length of the sole of the shoe or to a location adjacent a user's digital sulcus.
