Collection: Shoe Inserts for Arch Support & Heel Relief

Yes. Arch inserts for shoes and shoe inserts for high arches add targeted support where the natural arch lacks structure. Those with flat feet benefit most from arch support shoe inserts that lift and stabilize. Our collection includes options for a range of arch types, check each product description for the specific foot type and use case it addresses.

Shoe inserts for plantar fasciitis typically target arch support and heel cushioning to reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Our Kinetikore Gel Heel Cup is designed for shock absorption and heel support, which can help relieve plantar fascia discomfort. For more comprehensive plantar fascia shoe inserts or orthotic shoe insert support, we recommend exploring our Performance Insoles collection.

For gel inserts, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry completely before reinserting. Avoid soaking or machine washing. Foam inserts can be spot-cleaned with a lightly damp cloth. Never use heat to dry inserts — it degrades the cushioning materials and reduces their lifespan.

It depends on your needs. Gel inserts for shoes offer superior shock absorption and are great for hard floors, prolonged standing, or high-impact activity. Foam inserts (like our Cool Fit™ range) are lighter, breathable, and better for all-day wear in dress shoes or dress boots. Many people find that
gel heel cups work best for heel pain, while foam pads suit comfort and blister prevention.

Yes — heel cushions create a protective barrier between your skin and the shoe's heel counter, reducing friction that causes blisters. Foam heel liners are particularly effective in new or stiff leather shoes. Our Cool Fit™ heel cushion pads are designed specifically for blister prevention and all-day
comfort, and they stay firmly in place without shifting.

Most of our inserts are designed for specific shoe types. Heel cushions work well in dress shoes, boots, and sneakers. Ball-of-foot pads are ideal as high heel inserts or in dress flats. Anti-slip grips suit open-toe sandals and heels. Shoe inserts for boots and shoe inserts for hiking footwear are also available. Always check the product fit guide before purchasing.

Most shoe inserts last 3–6 months with regular daily use, though gel inserts for shoes and foam heel liners may last longer in lighter-wear shoes. Heavy use in hiking shoe inserts or anti-fatigue shoe inserts may shorten the lifespan. Replace when cushioning feels flat, edges peel, or the insert no longer stays in place.

Shoe inserts are targeted pads that address a specific area of the foot — like heel cushions, ball-of-foot pads, or arch inserts. Full insoles replace or add a complete layer across the entire footbed. Inserts are ideal when you need localized relief without changing your shoe's overall fit. Browse our
Everyday Insoles collection if you need full-length support.
