GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Handarte insole is best for dress shoes?
Comfort is the best starting point for loafers, oxfords and other lower-volume dress shoes because its profile is designed to add leather comfort and freshness with less bulk. Fit still depends on the interior space of the specific shoe.
Which Handarte insole has the most cushioning?
Soft is the cushion-focused option. Its natural-latex base is designed to provide a fuller, softer feel for walking, standing, commuting and long everyday wear.
What makes Orthotic different from Soft?
Soft is primarily about extra cushioning. Orthotic is primarily about a more structured underfoot feel, using a contoured arch profile and cushioned heel zone. Choose based on whether you prefer softness or structure.
Can I use Handarte insoles in sneakers?
Yes. Soft is the best starting point when extra cushioning is the goal, Comfort works well when you want a lighter profile, and Orthotic is an option when you prefer more structure and the shoe has enough interior room.
Should I remove the original insole first?
When possible, yes. Removing the factory insole usually creates a cleaner fit and more interior space for the Handarte insole to sit flat inside the shoe.
Can Handarte insoles be trimmed?
Yes. If needed for fit, the toe area can be trimmed slightly. Use the shape of the existing removable liner as a guide and trim gradually.
How do I choose my size?
Start with your regular shoe size. If you are between sizes, the larger option can be trimmed slightly at the toe when needed. Always check the current size guidance on the individual product page before ordering.
Do all three use natural leather?
Yes. Natural leather is a core part of all three Handarte builds, while the profile and lower-layer construction change depending on whether the product is designed around thinness, cushioning, or structure.
What if I still cannot decide?
Use the 3-question Quick Finder above. It recommends a starting point based on the shoes you wear, the feel you prefer, and what matters most to you.
