Why should we wear insoles?

When the foot doesn't fit properly in the shoe, walking or running can't be carried out optimally. The right insoles will help to transfer support from your foot to your shoe.

Insoles meet two fundamental needs:

Improve comfort in a shoe.

Solve a specific point of discomfort. (If you are experiencing pain, we advise you to consult a professional: a podiatrist or other specialist under medical prescription)

Whether in your daily life, in your leisure activities or in sports, make sure that the cushioning and reinforcements in your shoes are sufficient and adapted to your foot type.

How to choose the right insoles?

You need to understand two things to buy the best possible insoles: your foot and the type of shoe.

Your foot type :

Your foot is made up of a heel and an arch. Some people have a flatter arch, others a more curved one. So remember, when buying an insole, to check that the size of the arch matches that of your foot.

Shoe type :

Different shoes are better suited to different insoles. If your shoes are flat, opt for thinner soles. If you have jogging shoes or more athletic shoes, try slightly thicker soles. And if your heels get a lot of wear, opt for even thicker, more comfortable insoles.

At the same time, some insoles are narrower and others wider. So your insoles should also be either narrower or wider, depending on your shoes. Heels and other narrow shoes need narrower soles, while office shoes need wider soles.

What's the ideal size for your insoles?

Even if you're sure of your shoe size, it's still important to know your sole size, especially when you're buying sandals or shoes from an unfamiliar brand. Knowing how to choose the right insole is also an added bonus for an optimal fit in the future.

Your exact shoe size, whether in the USA, the UK or France, is based on the length of your footThis is measured from the heel to the end of the longest toe.

For production reasons and variations in tolerances, we generally advise our customers toopt for a larger size. What's more, most of our models can be cut at the ends if required.

What's the difference between insoles and orthotics?

Insoles are non-prescription supports you can buy online or in stores that can provide cushioning and support. They can be made of materials such as gel, plastic or others. Insoles fit into your shoes, but are not tailor-made for your feet. They can provide arch support or extra cushioning in the heel, around the toes or over the whole foot. Insoles can make your shoes more comfortable, but they're not made to measure. designed to correctfoot and posture problems.

Orthopedic insoles are different. They are medical devices recommended or prescribed following a consultation with a podiatrist, and which you wear inside your shoes to correct biomechanical problems of the foot, such as problems with the way you walk, stand or run. They can also relieve pain caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, bursitis and arthritis. Orthotics can even help you avoid surgery to correct flat feet.
