Shoe insoles - many types displayed together

What are shoe insoles?

Insoles are removable inserts placed inside footwear to improve comfort, cushioning and foot support. While basic insoles simply add padding, orthotic insoles are designed to support the arch, stabilise the heel and influence how the foot moves during walking or running.

Different insole types are designed to address different needs - from cushioning tired feet to supporting conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet or over-pronation.

How to choose the right insoles

Start with the main problem. Are you dealing with: sports fatigue, tired aching legs or just a general comfort injection?
Check your footwear. Some shoes accommodate full-length insoles, while others suit thinner or ¾-length designs.
Balance structure and cushioning. Firmer insoles provide in-shoe control, while softer insoles prioritise comfort.
Consider activity level. Running, work boots and everyday walking place different demands on insoles.
