Arch Supports New Orleans — The best way to get Good Feet | Orleans Shoe Co.

Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person, Honest Advice

Arch Supports in New Orleans & Metairie

If you've been quoted hundreds of dollars for arch supports, stop before you buy. You may not need all of that. We measure your feet, look at your shoes, and tell you the truth about what you need.

No package, no hard sell

One or Two, Not a System

Most people need one support, sometimes two. We find what your feet actually need and that's what you leave with. Fitted in person at four stores, free, no appointment.

We've been fitting arch supports for New Orleans feet since 2002 — 24 years. Locally owned, six-time Best Shoe Store with Gambit readers, and staff trained to fit arch supports properly.

How the Fitting Works

  1. You step on a Harris mat. The imprint shows your arch — high, low, or in between — and exactly where your weight lands when you stand.
  2. We measure both feet for length, width, and arch length, which is where your foot actually bends. One foot is almost always bigger.
  3. We watch you walk.
  4. We pull the supports that suit your arch, fit them to your arch length, and trim them to your shoe.
  5. You walk in them, in the store, in your own shoes. You'll feel the difference.

Free whether or not you buy. It takes a few minutes. More on custom fitted arch supports.

Our Top Sellers

  • Summit Pro Our most popular all-around support. Firm arch, good cushioning, fits in most shoes. This is where most people start.
  • Comfort Flex Real arch support that still moves with you. A flexible shell with a medium-to-high arch — structure without the stiff feel of hard orthotics. A thick layer of cushioned foam absorbs shock and fights fatigue on long days.
  • Heel Relief Built for heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Extra support under the heel where it hurts. If your first steps in the morning are the worst, this is the one to ask about.
  • Heel Relief Pro Everything the Heel Relief does, plus an integrated metatarsal pad supporting the transverse arch. For heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and burning under the ball of the foot.

Or come in and try them on your own feet. That's the part a website can't do.

Will These Fit My Shoes?

Most of the time, yes. We'll check the shoes you're wearing when you come in. If they're in good shape and fit right, we'll set you up with supports and you're done.

If your shoes are worn out or don't fit, we'll tell you straight — and we've got four stores full of comfort shoes to choose from. But we'll never push new shoes on you if you don't need them.

Sometimes the answer is no. Plenty of people walk in expecting to need arch supports and leave with just the right shoe instead. We'd rather tell you that than sell you something you don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which one I need?

You try them. We narrow it to the ones that suit your arch and your shoe, then you walk in each one. The difference is usually obvious once it's on your foot.

Do I need an appointment?

No. Walk into any of our four stores any time we're open and we'll fit you on the spot.

I have plantar fasciitis. Can you help?

Yes — this is what we do. Our Heel Relief support is built for plantar fasciitis and heel pain. We'll take a Harris mat imprint and match you to the right support, and point you toward shoes that help.

Can I return arch supports if they don't work?

Yes, within 30 days — even worn, because wearing them is the only way to know. See our return policy.

Will the supports work in my own shoes?

Usually. Bring the shoes you actually want to wear them in and we'll check. Some shoes have removable insoles and plenty of depth; some have neither.

Do you take insurance?

We do not accept insurance. These are over-the-counter arch supports, not prescription orthotics.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. 10% off for hospital workers, military, and restaurant workers at all four locations. Show us your badge, scrubs, or ID at checkout.
