Sizing Information for the Silipos Gel Boot Bumper Heel Sleeve

To find the right size Boot Bumper for your needs, please measure the circumference of your leg at the ankle as shown in the image below. Once you have your measurement, please consult the sizing chart below.

Expert Sizing Tip

If you fall on a boundary (for example if your ankle measures 23cm), please select the smaller size for optimum support and comfort

How Does a Silipos Boot Bumper Protect the Foot?

By wearing a sleeve, you're creating a barrier between your shoe or boot and the sensitive area of skin you are trying to protect. This stops the hard, often rigid fabric of your shoe rubbing against your skin, which in turn stops blisters, corns and calluses from developing.

Innovative Heel and Bridge Support

Unlike other sleeves which only protect one area of the foot, the Silipos Boot Bumper bolsters the heel with a dedicated pad whilst reinforcing the top of the "bridge" to stop chaffing and abrasion in their tracks. This dual level of protection is effective when alternative shoe styles are worn, which can (especially on first use) disturb the normal position of your foot. 

How Do I Put the Boot Bumper Sleeve On?

Getting your Boot Bumper Sleeve on couldn't be any easier. Treat it like it's a normal sleeve by sliding your foot through the hole and positioning the heel pad section at the back of your foot.

If you experience any discomfort, simply adjust the position of your sleeve slightly until comfortable.

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.
