Anyone else using E-Soles?

I've been having hot spot problems since I returned to cycling. I switched pedals, shoes, socks, moved my cleat position and nothing really made it much better.

First try was super feet yellow and that was a little better. Second try was e-soles supportive and I'm happy to say no more hot spots.

I supposed custom orthotics might be even better, but the e-soles are working really well for me. I'm sort of surprised I even needed an special insole given my flat feet.

I should say I purchased the e-soles after reading one Steve Hoggs articles on arch support.

I have custom made footbeds but they are expencive to get them made properly they cost me $800.00 and $500 for my walking footbeds .
Should I say they cost my insurance not me. But they are very good they need to be.
I used specialised before that.

Without arch support the foot will push forward and jamb the toes into the front of the shoe. it will also alter the cleat position .

I have varus ankle not flat feet but it adds up similar.
