Which Handarte insole is right for you?
All three use the same vegetable-tanned leather surface. What changes underneath is how much cushioning and support you get - and how much room your shoes have to give.

Questions people ask before ordering
Will they make my shoes tighter?
Fit depends on the space inside your shoe. Remove the original removable insole, insert Handarte and check that your foot has enough room. Do not force a tight fit.
Do I have to remove my existing insole?
Yes, whenever it lifts out. Removing it prevents tightness and lets Handarte sit flush against the sole. If yours is glued in you can still use them, but expect a snugger fit.
Can I trim them to fit?
Yes. Lay Handarte on the insole you removed, heels aligned, and cut the toe to match. Go in small passes rather than one big cut - you can always take more off.
What size should I order?
Order your regular shoe size. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one and trim the toe down.
Do they work in dress shoes and loafers?
Yes, that is what this model is built for. The slim profile is made for loafers, oxfords and narrow lasts where a thicker insole would crowd the instep. It also works in work shoes and casual sneakers.
Can I wear them without socks?
You can. The leather surface is comfortable against bare skin. With no sock in between the leather takes on more moisture, so air the shoes out overnight.
How do I clean them?
Wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and let them dry naturally. Do not soak them, do not machine wash, and keep them away from direct heat - heat hardens leather. Store them flat.
How long do they last?
Estimated lifespan is 3–7 months. Estimated lifespan varies depending on how often you wear your insoles, how much your feet sweat, and how closely you follow the care instructions. Air the insoles after use and inspect them regularly for wear. This is an estimate, not a warranty or guaranteed replacement interval.
Will they really stop the odor?
The leather absorbs moisture off the skin and the active-carbon base works on the odor rather than covering it with fragrance. A drier shoe stays fresher. See Returns & product support for our 14-day returns, wrong-size replacement and 3-month manufacturing-defect coverage.
Are these a medical or orthotic device?
No. Handarte is a comfort product designed for cushioning, breathability and moisture management. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any foot condition. If you have persistent foot pain, please see a foot-care professional.
