Deciding between the Shoe Bubble Original Max Support and the Shoe Bubble Pro-Lite is based mostly on amount of support needed, arch height and type of shoes that you’re placing them into. If your arches are medium to low and the shoes have some existing support or a narrow midfoot region, it’s nice to use the Pro-Lite so that you don’t end up with too much support. If your arches are medium or high and your shoes are flat and cushioned, the thicker Original Shoe Bubble can be preferable. In general, for an increased amount of relief for more serious foot pains, we recommend the Shoe Bubble original with the more substantial amount of support. The Pro-lite is thinner – about 2/3 the thickness. So, the Pro-lite is often better for preventative purposes and for those who’s arches are lower and more sensitive to support.
