I'm not sure what boot would be absolutely best, but I've successfully used orthodics in my various different boots.

You just need to take out the insole provided with the boot. That's key.

If its glued in there, rip it out...carefully though so you get all of it and there's not part of it left glued. Then just put in your orthodic, it shouldn't (in my experience) be too thick to adversely affect your ball technique, or comfort of the shoe.

If you want to put in 3/4 orthodics, well I've done it via the same method as above. The only bad thing is you expose your toes to the hard midsole of the shoe, and there is a high probability of getting blisters. You can either work through this until you have calluses or get socks with a thicker reinforced toe.

hope this helps

My recommendation is to take a orthotics to a store and try it on a shoes.
I've used a over the counter orthotics and almost every orthotics is very wide especially on a heel area, some cases too thick. I have a Superfeet(Blue) insole and it works great in Adidas Copa's and Pulse shoes.

I have them and I have always been able to put them in Predator Manics, you could probably get them in Pulsions as well but they don't bother my playing or foot work. oh yea and you don't have to rip out the insole :D

Has anyone had problems with boots splitting with their inserts? I used to use inserts and wore them in my two pairs of Supernova's. They both split around the toe within the space of a few months i was wondering if anyone else has had problems of their boots splitting when they wear their orthotics?
