Instructions

 

1a. Expose Adhesive for Positioning

Pick an insert – there is no difference between right and left. Start by finding an edge on the adhesive liner. The best place to start is at the thick edge shown in the drawing on the left. Don’t remove the liner yet!

1b. Expose Adhesive for Positioning

Once you’ve found the edge, fold back the liner from the rounded end of the Insolia Insert to expose enough adhesive to hold the Insolia Insert in place during the initial positioning. Folding down to the middle of the logo as shown in the drawing should be enough.

1c. Expose Adhesive for Positioning

When the adhesive liner looks like the drawing, you are ready to install your Insolia Inserts.

2. Initial Positioning – the Heel End

Take your shoe, which needs to be dry and lotion free, or the adhesive will not adhere properly. If need be, wipe the sock liner, where your foot rests, with a clean cloth. (In unusual circumstances when the sock liner is damp from wear, it may be necessary to allow it to dry overnight.)
Now, take your shoe, and center the heel end of the Insolia Insert, with the flat (sticky) side down, in the shoe heel area about 1/8 of an inch (3 mm) from the back of the shoe.

2b. Initial Positioning – the Toe End

Next, center the pointed end of the Insolia Insert in the arch of the insole. (See the shoe on the left side of the drawing). If your shoes are styled with a narrow arch, (see the shoe on the right side) you may need to rotate the end of the Insolia Insert slightly towards the big toe side of the shoe. 

 

3.Testing

Put both shoes on and stand up. If you feel an uncomfortable bump you need to make adjustments. Feeling “different” or “weird” is ok, feeling pain is not!

4. Adjustments – the Key to Comfort

 Make small adjustments until the uncomfortable bump is gone. Please, take the time to get it right!
 

  • If you feel a bump under your heel, move the Insolia Insert toward toe.
  • If you feel a bump under your arch, move the Insolia Insert toward heel.
  • You can also improve the fit by moving the Insolia Insert from side to side or angling it slightly.
  • Don’t worry if the left and right inserts differ in position.

While rare, if after 5 or 6 tries you still feel a painful bump, you should remove and return them for a refund.

5. Final Placement

Once the Insolia Inserts are correctly positioned, hold the heel end of the Insolia Insert in place with one hand, lift up the loose end of the insert with the other, and remove the remaining adhesive liner, peeling from the heel to the toe. Press down firmly. You are now ready to enjoy your high heels with Insolia Inserts! 

 

Insolia Inserts should not be moved from shoe to shoe!

Insolia Inserts may not adhere to all shoe surfaces. 

Important: Insolia Inserts are intended for use in high-heeled shoes solely to make them more comfortable. They are not intended to treat medical conditions of the feet, nor should they be a substitute for custom foot orthotics. Consult your podiatrist if you have any questions about your specific foot condition and whether Insolia Inserts are right for you.
