Silipos Friction Reducing Gel Dots

If there is an area of your shoe that is rubbing, it can be a nuisance and nothing short of painful, especially if an insole is already in place. It can be even worse when it is occurring within a brace or a cast. Luckily, Silipos Friction Reducing Gel Dots are designed to alleviate this pressure and provide a cushion from the friction your feet are suffering under.

Who Can Benefit from the Friction Reducing Gel Dots?

The Friction Reducing Gel Dots can prove useful to a number of different people. Anyone suffering from a friction or abrasive point in their footwear can be comforted through the use of one of the gel dots. The dots can be positioned anywhere thanks to their self-adhesive backs ensuring they stay in place once they have been secured.

This makes them appropriate for securing in casts, braces or onto normal insoles. They can even be placed under the individual metatarsal heads after being secured onto the insole to ensure the pressure is eased from this area.

The gel pads help to moisturise, protect and cushion the skin from abrasive forces and friction.

Features of the Friction Reducing Gel Dots

The dots are made from 1° medical grade mineral oil to provide the cushioning and moisture that the skin needs in order to remain healthy.

The gel dots have a self-adhesive backing that allows them to be used multiple times. The backing will stick to most materials (though not skin!), allowing them to be used in almost any shoe. The dots can also be used to guarantee hygiene between different uses.

The dots are 3mm thick and 3cm in diameter in order to be used for a multitude of different places around the foot and ankle.

The dots are latex free and hypoallergenic.

The dots come on sheets for ease of use. There are 15 Friction Reducing Gel Dots per sheet.

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.
