FAQs

What material are the Sorbothane Full Strike Insoles made of?

They are made from Sorbothane's unique Visco-Elastic material, known for its exceptional shock-absorbing properties.

How do I know if I've trimmed them to the correct size?

The insoles should fit snugly inside your shoe without bunching up or causing pressure points. Ideally, they should fill the base of the shoe without extending beyond the shoe's internal perimeter.

Can these insoles help with plantar fasciitis?

While they are designed to absorb shock and reduce stress on joints, which can indirectly help with some foot pain, they are not specifically designed as a medical treatment for plantar fasciitis. Consult a healthcare professional for specific medical advice.

What is the main benefit of the 'Trim to Fit' feature?

It allows you to customize the insole to perfectly match the size and shape of your shoe, ensuring optimal contact and effectiveness of the shock-absorbing material.

Are these insoles suitable for everyday casual wear?

Yes, they can be used in casual shoes to provide enhanced comfort and joint protection during daily activities, especially if you experience foot fatigue or joint discomfort.

How durable are these insoles?

They feature an abrasion-resistant fabric top layer and are made from durable Visco-Elastic material, designed for longevity under normal use conditions.

What does 'full strike' mean in the product name?

It refers to the insoles' design to absorb impact throughout the entire foot strike, from heel to toe, providing comprehensive shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

Insoles feel too large after trimming

Carefully re-trim a small amount more, ensuring to follow the original shoe's internal shape. It is often better to trim slightly too small than too large.

Discomfort or pressure points after insertion

Ensure the insole was trimmed accurately to the shape of your shoe's interior. Check for any folds or bunched-up material. Adjust the fit or consider if the shoe has enough volume.

Insoles seem to reduce with cushioning over time

The Visco-Elastic material is designed to return to its original shape. If significant compression occurs, ensure the insoles are not being used in extremely high-heat environments for prolonged periods, which can affect material properties. Check for damage or excessive wear.

Insoles do not fit in narrow shoes

These insoles may be too thick for very narrow or minimalist footwear. Consider using them in shoes with more volume or a removable insole that creates space.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces impact and shock.
  • Helps alleviate knee pain and joint stress.
  • Contributes to reducing fatigue during extended wear.
  • Durable and abrasion-resistant construction.
  • Customizable fit for different shoe sizes.

Cons

  • Requires trimming to fit, which can be imprecise if not done carefully.
  • May add a slight bulk to footwear.
  • Primarily focused on shock absorption; may not offer significant arch support for all users.
  • Specific UK sizing may require careful conversion for international users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Remove the original insole from your shoe.
  2. Place the Sorbothane insole on top of the original insole or on a piece of paper.
  3. Trace the outline of the original insole onto the Sorbothane insole using a pen or pencil, following the 'Trim to Fit' lines as a guide.
  4. Carefully cut along the traced lines using sharp scissors.
  5. Insert the trimmed Sorbothane insole into your shoe.

Compatibility:

These insoles are designed to fit most standard adult footwear, including athletic shoes, work boots, and casual shoes. They are best suited for footwear with a removable original insole. Ensure sufficient depth within the shoe to accommodate the insole without causing undue pressure.

Care:

  • Clean the insoles periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Do not submerge the insoles in water.
  • Allow insoles to air dry completely before reinserting them into shoes.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents for cleaning.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
