Key Features

• Low-Profile, Slim Design: Engineered with a significantly thinner profile than full-length orthotics, allowing it to slip into tight-fitting dress shoes, loafers, and flats without crowding.
• 3/4 Length Coverage: Provides targeted support to the heel and arch—the areas that need it most—while leaving the forefoot free for natural toe movement and flexibility.
• Lightweight, Breathable Construction: Made from lightweight materials that add minimal weight and bulk, enhancing comfort for all-day wear in professional or formal settings.
• Versatile Fit for Multiple Shoe Types: Ideal for dress shoes, women's pumps, men's oxfords, casual shoes, and even some athletic shoes where a full insole won't fit.
• Effective Arch & Heel Support: Delivers the core therapeutic benefits of PowerStep—podiatrist-designed arch shape and deep heel cup—in a space-saving format.
• Discreet Comfort: Provides substantial support that remains virtually invisible inside your shoe, so you can enjoy comfort without compromising your look.
• Easy to Transfer: Lightweight and sturdy enough to be easily moved from one pair of shoes to another as needed.
• No Trimming Required (Typically): The 3/4 length design often fits perfectly without any cutting, making them ready to use right out of the box.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Arch Support for Dress Shoes: Provides crucial arch support in footwear that typically offers none, reducing strain on the plantar fascia and mitigating arch pain and fatigue.
• Heel Pain & Shock Absorption: The integrated heel cup cushions heel strike and helps alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or general heel bruising.
• Comfort for Flat Feet in Formal Wear: Offers a discreet solution for individuals with flat feet or over-pronation who need support but cannot fit bulkier orthotics in their dress shoes.
• Prevents & Relieves General Foot Discomfort: Reduces the overall aching and tiredness that comes from spending long hours in unsupportive shoes.
• Improves Shoe Fit: Can sometimes improve the fit of a slightly loose shoe by taking up a small amount of volume in the heel and arch area.
• Preventive Foot Care: Helps prevent the development of foot problems caused by chronic wear of unsupportive footwear, especially in work environments requiring formal dress.
• Travel Comfort: An excellent travel companion, providing support during long days of walking in city shoes or while navigating airports.
• Post-Shoe Surgery Recovery: May be recommended for use during the transition back to regular shoes after foot surgery, providing support in a low-bulk format.

Important Usage Notice

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these 3/4 length insoles stay in place in my shoe?
Yes. They are designed with a adhesive strip on the bottom. Peel off the backing and press firmly into the shoe's existing footbed, aligning the heel. They will stay securely in place.

How do I choose the right size for orthotic insoles?
Select your corresponding shoe size (e.g., if you wear a Women's 8 shoe, order a Women's 8 insole). The 3/4 length design is less critical for precise length matching than full-length insoles.

Can I use these in high heels?
They are designed for shoes with a closed back and some arch structure. They may fit in some low to medium heels with a closed toe box, but very high heels or strappy sandals typically won't have the necessary structure to hold them.

Do I need to remove my shoe's existing insole?
Usually, yes. For the SlimTech to work effectively and fit properly, you should remove the original flat, flimsy insole that came with your shoe and replace it with this one.

Are they noticeable when walking?
No, they are designed to be discreet. You will feel the supportive arch and cushioned heel, but they should not create a visible lump or bulge in your shoe.

Can they be trimmed if they are slightly too wide?
It is not recommended, as trimming could damage the structural integrity of the arch support. It's best to select the correct size. They are designed to be slim, so width is rarely an issue in appropriately sized shoes.
