Types of Insoles

The weight of the insoles is indicative and may vary by approximately + / – two grams due to variations in the cushioning material. During the insole manufacturing the cushioning gets expanded, which can cause the thickness to fluctuate from three to four percent.

All FootBalance insoles have an antibacterial treatment to prevent the accumulation of microbes and other bacteria. The treatment can wear out if the insoles are continuously exposed to moisture. If this happens the insoles may accumulate bacterial and develop an unpleasant odour. It is recommended to keep the insoles from getting wet and to air them by pulling them partially out of the shoes when not in use.

To clean, lightly brush or wipe the insoles with a damp cloth. Air out damp insoles at room temperature between uses. Do not machine wash. Do not expose to high heat.Insole life varies with each person’s foot type, weight, shoe, activity and intensity of use. As with footwear, the insoles last longer when given a rest between uses. Active, continuous or intense use wears the insoles out faster than occasional wear. For these reasons we recommend moulding more than one pair of insoles for your customer so they may alternate between pairs.
