Who Are the Express Orthotics For?
These ready-fit medical insoles were designed to support limbs or joints that don't function correctly, and are ideal for treating lower limb injuries. Moreover, these insoles:
- Provide support thanks to their arch profile
- Improve alignment of the lower limbs
- Increase stability and balance
- Reduce the shock of heel strike thanks to cushioned heel cup
- Decrease the velocity of rear foot pronation
- Decrease shoe wear on the outside heel
- Reduce shock during propulsion due to forefoot cushioning
What's Different About Express Orthotics?
Invented and designed in New Zealand by Foot Science International, Express Orthotics are one of the best insoles for supporting a limb or joint that is injured or doesn't function correctly. They feature tapered arch support, which allows greater movement of the first metatarsal joint, and minimises the chances of experiencing pain and discomfort when wearing orthoses.
How Easy to Use Are These Insoles?
The Express Orthotics are for individuals who would like a preformed and ready-to-use orthotic solution. This is why they are designed to be used straight from the box, with no heat moulding required. They will conform to the shape of the foot by body weight and body heat alone.
Key Features of the Express Orthotics Firm Density Blue Full Length Insoles
- Ready-to-use insoles that support a recovering limb or joint
- Ideal for first-time orthotics users
- Tapered arch support allows greater movement of the metatarsals
- Self-adhesive for quick and easy placement
- Can be adjusted to become a custom-made foot orthotic device

What Is the Difference Between Blue and Red Express Orthotics?
The main difference between blue and red insoles is their density. These Express Firm Density Blue Insoles are designed to improve fit and comfort for the foot in any shoe. They are made from moderate EVA foam to provide a comfortable option for the first time insole user.
The Express Hard Density Red Insoles, on the other hand, are designed to increase bio-mechanical support, provide high-performance shock absorption and comfort. These are also the right choice for users weighing over 90kg.
What Is the Difference Between Full Length and 3/4 Length Insoles?
The Express Firm Density Blue Insoles are available in 3/4 length and full length. The 3/4 length provides greater versatility and is ideal for narrow or pointed shoes, while these full length insoles provide standard support and can be worn in most casual and sports shoes.
How Quickly Will I Get Used to My New Orthotics?
Most users find that their Express Orthotics are comfortable straight away. In certain cases, however, it may take a few days for your feet to adjust to the support and function of these insoles. Please note that if you are still feeling discomfort after two weeks, you should stop wearing the insoles.
Can I Heat These Insoles?
For your convenience, these insoles have been designed to be dispensed without heat moulding. If you wish, however, you can gently heat the insoles to alter their shape.
How Long Can I Expect My Express Orthotics to Last?
Your Express Orthotics will normally last at least as long as the shoe they are fitted into. Most users, however, find that their insoles last a minimum of nine to 12 months.
How Do I Care for These Insoles?
To maximise the usability and longevity of your insoles, take the insoles out of the shoe, wipe clean with a warm damp sponge, and allow them to dry before placing them back inside the shoes. Do not soak the insoles for any period of time, and keep them away from heat as this may cause damage.

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:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- 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:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- 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.
