Description

Not every foot needs a carbon plate or a custom orthotic. Sometimes your shoes are just too hard underfoot, and by mid-afternoon your feet are tired and sore. Carnation Cushion Comfort Insoles are a basic, inexpensive way to add a layer of softness and see if it helps.

Simple by design

You can slip them under the insoles already in your shoes, or lay them on top. Carnation Footcare says they are designed to add comfort and ease foot fatigue for people who stand, walk or commute for hours.

Fresher feet

Small perforations run through the insole so air can move, which helps feet feel fresher and drier inside closed shoes. They also have a pine fragrance.

Care

Wash them by hand and reuse them. Do not put them in the washing machine.

Questions to ask yourself first

Will they fit? Sizing is not listed, so check they suit your shoes. Adding a layer can make snug shoes tighter.
Do you need cushion or support? These are about softness. If your arches ache or your feet roll in, a structured insole with arch support may suit you better.
Is it more than tiredness? Sharp heel pain in the morning, numbness or burning, or pain that is getting worse is worth getting checked.

Check with someone if

You have diabetes, circulation problems or foot pain that will not go away. A pharmacist or healthcare professional can help you choose safely, since people with diabetes need to watch for rubbing and pressure spots.

The free Pain Check-Up can help you understand what your feet are telling you, and the ankle, foot and heel groups are a good place to swap shoe tips.
