Whether you’re purchasing them for additional comfort during a long day or to find relief from foot pain or other problems, a common question you may have about shoe inserts is their overall durability. After all, while the most important thing is to find the comfort and relief you’re looking for, if you’re constantly having to replace your insoles because they wear out quickly, it can start to become a problem.
How long a pair of shoe inserts will last depends on a number of factors, and it’s important to understand them if you are considering purchasing a pair. To help, we’re happy to share the following overview.
Factors that affect the longevity of inserts
How long a pair of shoe inserts lasts can depend on:
- The type of insert — Inexpensive store-bought inserts are generally designed to last about six months, while custom orthotics can last up to five years or longer.
- Intended usage — No matter how well made the inserts are, people who use them for regular high-intensity activities or for long work shifts are going to need to replace them more often than people who use them occasionally for low-impact activities.
- Level of care — Properly caring for your inserts by not exposing them to high temperatures and allowing them to dry overnight can have an impact on extending their life span.
- Quality of materials — Even among similar types of inserts, ones that use a lower grade of foam and other materials will tend to wear out more quickly.
