Insole basics

How to fit insoles to each person and shoe

If the person is using shoes with removable stock insoles, take them out to use as a size guide
Stack the stock insoles and the Plantiga insoles facing upside down
Align the insole heels and mark where the stock insole toe ends on the Plantiga insole
Cut following the size guideline closest to where you marked the Plantiga insole
Alternatively, trace the stock insole on the Plantiga insole and cut along your trace line
Make sure not to cut too close to the pod area or the pod will not longer fit into the insole
If the stock insole cannot be removed from the person’s shoe, have the person place their foot on top of the Plantiga insole with their heel aligned to the the insole heel, and mark where their toes end
Trim any excess material off the toe if necessary, following the size guide lines on the bottom of the insole
If the person you’re cutting insoles for has wide feet, we recommend using the next insole size up from their normal shoe size and trimming down the toe only to leave extra width

Plantiga insoles can be fitted into shoes under or over the stock insole, or used in place of the stock insole - wear them whichever way is most comfortable
Plantiga insoles can also be worn underneath orthotic devices or other specialized insoles
