Sidas F-Essentials Cushioning Gel Support Insoles

If you're using insoles for protecting feet, be in during activity or just daily life, it's vital that they can provide support as well as protection. The Sidas F-Essentials Cushioning Gel Support Insoles feature a network of gel micro-bubbles under the heel and ball of the foot to provide outstanding protection for the feet, and employ a support arc around the heel to improved stability.

Who Can Benefit from the Sidas F-Essentials Cushioning Gel Support Insoles?

Providing an exceptional level of support and protection to feet, the Sidas F-Essentials Cushioning Gel Support Insoles are ideal for sports that put a lot of strain on the feet and legs. They're also perfect for everyday use, working to protect your feet from strain and stress while also keeping it stable and supported for more natural movement. 

Gel Micro-Bubble Impact Protection

The network of gel micro-bubbles creates a dynamic gel shock-absorption system that safeguards foot impact zones. This system uses gel micro-bubbles at the heel and the ball of the foot to reduce impacts and direct shockwaves away from common problem areas.

These micro-bubbles gradually mould over time with each impact to form a customised area of exceptionally absorbent protection, while micro-perforations also feature throughout the insoles to ensure that they are breathable.

Heel Support Arc

A support arc around the heel gives the insoles an improved level of support and stability. This lateral support holds your feet in the correct position for better and more natural foot movement – important for both sports and everyday life. Made from polyurethane, the arc is incredibly durable and stable, ensuring you feet always have the support they need. 

Anti-Bacterial Top Layer

Fully washable, the top layer of the Sidas Insoles offer substantial microbial resistance, meaning that the insoles actively eliminate bacteria and unpleasant odours as they occur. This not only helps to extend the lifespan of the insoles, but also of the shoe in which they are being worn. Furthermore, the insoles are machine washable on a low heat and gentle setting.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
