Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! The world is experiencing an unsupportive shoe crisis that no one is properly addressing! Most of the shoes we wear don't have proper arch support, resulting in misalignment and pain throughout the body. Everyone can benefit from proper arch support.
Ideally, buy the same size as the shoe plan to wear the insole in most often. If you are between full sizes, order the size down.
Our classic insoles are intended for shoes with removable insoles (generally sneakers and boots). You should remove the insole out of your current shoe and replace it with the Atlas insole. In the case that your shoes are very roomy, you can try putting the Atlas insole right in, and seeing how that feels. Stay tuned for new product releases that will work across other types of shoes.
So many reasons! Cork is a wonder-material.
+ It molds to the shape of your foot over time, creating a customized insole
+ It is incredibly shock-absorbent, mitigating the impact of walking on hard floors
+ It's anti-microbial, so your shoes won't get smelly!
+ It is carbon negative to manufacture from - manufacturing from cork supports the environment, not just your body!
Generally, yes! Our insoles are made of cork, which molds to the shape of your foot over time. After about two weeks of consistent wear, your Atlas insole will be customized for your unique arch height, providing personalized support. However, some severe cases may be unique and require consultation from a podiatrist.

We suggest you wear them everyday, at least at the onset to help them customize to your arch height and so that you can fully feel the benefits of arch support. However, some may experience an initial "break-in" period with minor discomfort. If that is the case for you, you may want to wear them for shorter durations or every other day, until you are adjusted.
Our insoles are handmade in a lovely factory in Porto, Portugal
We offer free returns (of used or unused products), however we accept returns starting 30 days after you receive your product. We want to make sure you have the opportunity to "break in" your Atlas insole, and feel the effects of customized arch support.
