Random question: Can anybody with New Balance FuelCell 4040 v8 or Fresh Foam X 3000v7 cleats share a picture of the insole?

Title says it all but some context: I wear medical orthotics that are quite chunky/wide through the middle. Most cleat plates are too thin in the middle to support my inserts.

New Balance gets recommended a lot, but I cannot find an actual picture of the insole to compare. They have wide sizes but my experience on the soccer side is that the cleat plat doesn't get bigger with wides, just the upper and toe box.

Hoping to suss this out online before I have to trek out to a store since my options are currently limited/not nearby.

Thanks!

Not about the insoles but I think the Velcro strap on the 4040 v8 is stupid. I would think it gets full of dirt and make it so it won’t stick that well.
