Insoles & Inserts for Work Shoes

Which Insoles Are Right for Your Work Shoes?

If you spend a lot of time standing or walking during the workday, the right insoles can make your shoes more comfortable. However, not all insoles suit every foot or shoe. It's a good idea to start by considering the level of support you need and how your shoes are used.

Insoles for Low, Medium and High Arches

Some insoles are designed to provide different levels of arch support. At Tingstad, you'll find models for low, medium and high arches. The best option depends on the shape of your foot, the fit of your shoe, and how the insole feels when walking or standing.

Cushioned Insoles and Warm Felt Insoles

Cushioned insoles can be a good choice if you want a softer feel inside your shoes. For work in colder environments, felt insoles provide an extra insulating layer between your foot and the sole of the shoe.

Keep in mind that the thickness of the insole affects the amount of space inside the shoe. An insole that is too thick may cause the shoes to fit too tightly.

Can You Replace Insoles in Safety Shoes?

In many safety shoes, the insoles can be replaced, but it is important to choose the correct type. Safety footwear is tested and certified with a specific construction, and replacing the insole can affect both the fit and the protective properties of the shoe.

Always check which insoles have been approved by the shoe manufacturer for your specific model. This is especially important if the footwear has ESD properties or other special safety requirements.
