How long do custom insoles last?

The insoles consist of a hard plastic shell which is CNC milled to your footshape, this is guaranteed not to break for 5 years.

The insoles are covered with a shock absorbing cover which isn't guaranteed but can be replaced at a modest cost.

  • What are the differences between each Custom Insoles type?
    There isn't much difference, the material used is the same across all the Custom Insole types and the way they are manufactured is the same. However, the difference is how we design them (they all go through the same designing process but are design differently) for example; Comfort Insoles & Walking Insoles When we design the Comfort and Walking Insoles we ensure it is a smooth comfortable arch that fits your unique arch shape not too harsh or not too low. Running Insoles & Cycling Insoles When we design the Running and Cycling Insoles we increase the arch as runners and cyclist like to feel the extra support. We also take into account that running and cycling shoes are slimmer then ordinary shoes so we make the insoles slimmer too so that they can fit in your shoe. We do ask our customers to draw around the insoles that are already in their desired shoe so we can ensure the perfect fit. Plantar Fasciitis Insoles With the Plantar Fasciitis Insoles we make the arch lower (not too low that it doesn't fit your foot shape) as we don't want to create more pain in your foot. But we support your medial arch correctly with Custom Insoles to prevent overextending the plantar tendon. All these types of Custom Insoles are made with polypropylene (which is rigid). We then add top quaility spenco material as a top cover (trusted by certified pedorthits and orthotic lab technicians for over 30 years). Spenco material remains the leading cover for shock absorption, impact reduction and overall foot comfort. Four way stretch nylon helps reduce friction and shear. Splipure Antimicrobial helps control foot odor. We also offer the Flat Spenco Insoles (without any arch support) as some people don't want any arch support just the cushioned comfort. Flat spenco insoles can add cushioning to footwear that lacks comfort features, like casual or dress shoes. This can make walking or standing for long periods more comfortable without affecting the shoe’s fit or aesthetics. Spenco insoles can be a good choice for people who don’t need arch support but want comfort and cushioning for daily activities or general foot fatigue.
