Edward Green Newbury and orthotics

[bsherman100]

So I'm ready to take the plunge and get a pair of really good shoes, I am looking at getting a pair of Newburys in burnt pine.

I'm am getting prescription orthotics, I have been using inserts all along and they add 1/2 size to my cheapo shoes.

As I am getting these by mail I am worried about the orthotics fitting EG at all.

Does anyone have experience with EG and orthotics ?

Would it make sense to get the shoes now and have the doctor make sure the new orthotics work with the shoes, or should I wait until the orthotics show up and then try them with the finished orthotics ?

The most obvious and logical reply is to try the shoe on with the orthotic. It may not be plausible to do this, however. You may want to find a very cheap EG shoe on ebay used in your size and experiment. I wear Rx orthotics and I think that it does not change the shoe size, but that it does take me from a regular to a wide (E).

The twist here is if I have the shoes the doctor may be able to adjust the orthotics when I get them.

The orthotics are custom-made for you. Why would you change them to fit the shoes?
When you try on shoes, bring the new orthotics. If the shoe fits, wear it.

if youre going to get EGs with your orthotics i strongly recommend sizing up 1 full size as EG already runs small/narrow

I would contact Edward Green directly at sales AT edwardgreen.com as this likely wouldn't be the first time this has come up for them. Valerie is always most helpful.
