Insoles
Running insoles provide added support, cushioning, and alignment inside your shoes. They help distribute pressure more evenly, reduce fatigue, and can improve comfort on long runs. Some insoles also help stabilize the foot to reduce excessive movement.
You may benefit from insoles if you experience foot fatigue, arch discomfort, heel pain, or if your shoes feel too flat or unsupportive. Runners with high arches, flat feet, or recurring aches often find insoles make a noticeable difference in comfort and efficiency.
Yes, insoles can slightly change the volume inside your shoe depending on the style. Most runners simply remove the factory insole and replace it with the new one. If your shoes already feel tight, consider a thinner insole or a shoe with a roomier fit.
Most insoles last 500–800 km, similar to running shoes. High‑mileage runners may need to replace them more often, especially if the cushioning compresses or the support feels less stable over time.
Insoles can help reduce strain by improving alignment and adding targeted support under the arch and heel. While they’re not a medical treatment, many runners find they help manage discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis, shin splints, or overpronation.
