Podotech Thermoshell Insoles
The Podotech Thermoshell Insoles are designed to be adapted and customised to suit the user's foot shape. It can be used as both an insole base or be adjusted to a suitable shape depending on your requirements.
Who can benefit from the Thermoshell Insoles?
Anyone can benefit from the Thermoshell Insoles. This is because the insoles come as a blank canvas. Sometimes, this is enough to work as the base for the insoles and provide the support that the patient may need. But if not, the insoles can be moulded using heat. This means that there is no need for a cast or for the mould to be sent away to be made.
This saves time, effort and money while still providing insoles that have a custom made fit to provide the right level of support for the patient.
Features of the Thermoshell Insoles
The Podotech Thermoshell Insoles are made from a resilient nylon material. Compared to the polypropylene used for a lot of insoles, this is at least five times stronger and adapts well to being heated. This means that the insoles can be moulded time and time again if adjustments are required.
The insoles are available pre-cut to size, but grinding and cutting is simple thanks to the material. While it is durable, it is designed to be adjusted and modified. Once the size is right, the insoles can then be moulded to an appropriate shape.
It is easy to adjust the thermoshell insoles with the correct type of postings if required. Any type of posting can be fastened onto the insoles through the use of an adhesive. Some components even come with an adhesive backing to make this easier.
The insole does not need to be customised if not required. Instead, it can be used as a base for a regular insole. All that needs to be done is for a cover lining to be applied in the desired material such as Poron or Eva.
The Thermoshell Insoles can be moulded through using the Thermoshell Hoptop and Thermoshell Pillow.

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.
