THE DR. SHEDEL DIFFERENCE
BETTER SUPPORT STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING.
From the science behind our design to what you can expect with everyday wear, we're here to help you get the most out of your insoles.
-
Designed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Dr. Shedel Insoles take an innovative foundation-first approach to everyday movement.
Unlike traditional cushioned inserts that primarily focus on softness, our insoles feature a 3D-printed orthotic structure designed to provide targeted arch support, promote more balanced pressure distribution, and support natural foot alignment.
Our philosophy is simple: better movement begins with a better foundation.
-
Your feet are the foundation of your body. The way they interact with the ground can influence movement and alignment throughout your ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
Dr. Shedel Insoles are designed to provide structured arch support and promote more balanced pressure distribution, which have been associated with pain relief and enhanced performance.
-
Our insoles are designed for individuals seeking additional support during everyday activities, including:
Healthcare professionals and service/beauty professionals who spend long hours on their feet
Individuals experiencing foot pain or have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis
People with flat feet or those seeking additional arch support
Active individuals like runners/lifters looking for a more supportive foundation
Whether you're working, walking, competing, or simply going about your day, your body deserves support.
-
No. Dr. Shedel Insoles are professionally designed, prefabricated insoles with high-quality EVA foam cushioning combined with a 3D-printed TPU orthotic structure for support and everyday comfort.
Available in seven sizes, our insoles make structured support more accessible without the need for custom molding, appointments, or trimming.
-
Dr. Shedel Insoles are designed to provide structured support rather than simply cushioning your feet.
If you're accustomed to wearing flat or minimally supportive insoles, you may notice increased awareness of your arches or mild discomfort in other places as your body adjusts.
This is why we recommend a gradual wear-in schedule. Sharp pain, numbness, or worsening discomfort should not be ignored. Discontinue use if these symptoms occur.
-
Your body needs time to adjust to a new level of support. We recommend gradually increasing your wear time using the following schedule:
Day 1: Wear for 1 hour.
Day 2: Wear for 2 hours.
Day 3: Wear for 3 hours.
Continue increasing wear time by 1 hour each day until comfortable for all-day wear.
Avoid wearing your insoles all day immediately. If you experience discomfort, reduce your wear time and progress at a pace that is comfortable for you.
-
Everyone's adjustment period is different. You may begin to feel comfortable wearing your insoles within the first two weeks, while adapting to changes in support and movement may take 4-6 weeks or longer.
Consistency and gradual progression are key. Your body has developed movement habits over time, and adjusting to a new foundation is a process, not an overnight change.
-
Our insoles are designed to fit most shoes with removable insoles, including athletic shoes, sneakers, and many everyday work shoes.
For the best fit:
Remove your shoe's existing insole before inserting your Dr. Shedel Insole.
Loosen your shoelaces as needed to accommodate the additional support and thickness.
Ensure your toes have adequate room to move comfortably.
Shoes with wider interior space or softer fabric are more suitable.
-

Once you have comfortably completed the wear-in process, we encourage consistent daily use.
You can transfer your insoles between compatible pairs of shoes to maintain a supportive foundation throughout your day.

To keep your Dr. Shedel Insoles clean and fresh, gently wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water.
Do not submerge in water.
Do not machine wash or dry.
Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning products.
Allow insoles to air-dry completely before placing them back into your shoes.
Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
-
The lifespan of your Dr. Shedel Insoles will vary depending on your activity level, frequency of use, footwear, and care.
We recommend periodically inspecting your insoles for signs of excessive wear, changes in structure, or reduced support. Replace them as needed to maintain a supportive foundation.
