Not from Dublin, but from what I have seen, around € 300 seems to be the norm.

have you had medical advice about insoles or are yiu doing this from your gut instinct ?

Why not get shoes to suit your gait and feet via proper analysis ? I have flat feet and never found the inkling for insoles.

I forgot to mention I got the off the shelf insoles from my physio but stopped ussing them quickly as they seemed to be causing pain during the day in the fron of my leg.

Whats your specific injury??
Where have you been sore? Re recommending orthotics Micheal Davis, Well Shod in Monasterevin is highly recommended.

Thanks Guys, first I have the flattest feet you can imaigne,if I walked around for day without my orthotics insoles the pain my feet would be really bad, when I wear the orthotics I feel fine, been to a guy before and he agreed I needed orthotics which happened many years back and I could not believe the difference it made,simple from pain to no or little pain,
I dont want to have to always look for certain type shoes for my feet to feel good, eg I have working shoes,runners,going out shoes and basic shoes,so 4 types I use every week,It is much more easier for me to have 2 sets of insoles and slip into the shoe I wear at that time of use,
But the reason I want custom is these will be especially customed to my feet so will be a better fit

You could also try incorporating some barefoot strides into your training a couple of times a weeks to try and strenghten your feet and arch which in time may help you move away from orthotics.

if you decide to give this a try take it very very easy in the begining.

best of luck either way.

As in, run with no shoes on. Try in on grass and see how it goes. as i said if you do try it take it very easy to begin with as your feet and lower legs will not be used to it and you could pick up an injury..
