FOOTBED FITTING FAQ

Note: There will be a break in or adjustment period in wearing your new footbeds. Since most of us are not used to having footwear that properly supports the arch and the heel, the support may feel unusual, but it should not hurt. Be sure to wear your SOLE Custom Footbeds for a minimum of three days before considering re-heating the footbeds to further adjust to your feet. 

If I have a foot problem won't moulding the insole just make the problem worse?

By following the instructions on the package, your foot will approximate the neutral position. A neutral foot position will ensure the heated footbeds correctly mould to your feet, eliminating problems, not exacerbating existing problems. In addition, because the footbeds have just the right amount of rigidity, they will conform to your feet without becoming flat or unsupportive. 

What is the advantage of heat mouldable footbeds over regular insoles?

No two feet are the same and a heat mouldable footbed conforms to fit every unique foot perfectly. Competing insoles claim to offer arch supports, control and comfort, but for whose foot? Regular insoles weren't designed for just your foot! Only SOLE Custom Footbeds were designed to adjust to your unique foot. 

Why do Sole custom footbeds cost less than traditional custom orthotic products?

Custom footbeds cost less than traditional custom orthotics because they use a special heat to fit technology. Heat to fit technology allows everyone to get a custom fit without the high cost associated with visiting a health care professional. While the custom footbeds will not take the place of a foot care professional for people with severly troubled feet, the unique combination of materials allow the custom footbeds to adjust to exactly your foot shape! Custom footbeds are truly a revolution in foot care technology. 

Do I need to heat them before I wear them?

You can wear the footbeds without heating them. If you require maximum support this may be best. However, heating and moulding them to your feet will improve both the comfort and overall support. 

How long will they last?

Our SOFTEC cushioning layer uses open cell polyurethane so it will not bottom out or compress over time. They are guaranteed to provide excellent cushioning for two years. 

Can SOLE Custom Footbeds be heated more than once?

Sure. Your custom footbeds can be reheated up to five times. Excessive amounts of heating will cause your footbeds to lose their supportive, anatomically designed shape. If you feel the heating process didn¹t adjust your footbeds to your satisfaction simply reheat them. 

Can I use them in different footwear?

Absolutely. You can use your footbeds in almost any type of footwear. You can use them in running/tennis/cross training shoes, hiking boots, ski boots, skates, roller blades, or even casual shoes. Feel free to move your footbeds from one type of footwear to the next. 

What size do they come in?

SOLE Custom Footbeds come in a women's size UK 2.5 through to a men's UK14, the largest size range on the market! All sizes are full sizes. If you are between sizes, simply choose the larger size and trim the toe area of the footbed to fit your existing shoes. To do this, simply place your old insoles over your footbed and trace out the shape. Using the tracing as a guide, cut the footbed to the correct size with scissors. 

How do I wash my new SOLE Custom Footbeds?

If your custom footbeds need to be cleaned, simply hand wash the top layer with soap and water. Do not machine wash your custom footbeds.
