Orthotics & Insoles Buying Guide
With so many different types of insoles available, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. The best insole depends on your footwear, activity level and what you're hoping to achieve—whether that's additional arch support, extra cushioning, improved comfort at work or better support during sport.
Our podiatrist-selected range includes options for everyday wear, work boots, running shoes, football boots and dress shoes, making it easy to find an insole that suits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which insole is right for me?
Start by considering your footwear, activity and what you'd like to improve. If you're unsure, browse our specialised collections or contact us for advice.
Should I remove my existing shoe insole?
In most cases, yes. Removing the factory insole usually provides the best fit and allows your new insole to sit correctly inside your shoe.
Will insoles fit every shoe?
No. Different shoes require different styles of insoles. Running shoes, work boots, football boots and dress shoes all have different amounts of space available.
Can I move my insoles between shoes?
Yes, provided the shoes are similar in size and shape and have enough room for the insole.
