Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear Shapes in all types of shoes?

Yes. Thanks to our Stick-It system, Shapes can be worn in any shoe, including open shoes like sandals or high heels.

What is the difference between Shapes and traditional insoles?

The only similarity is that both are placed in shoes. Shapes are functional; the foot is continuously working when in contact with them. Many insoles are static and fix the foot, which is unnatural from an evolutionary perspective. Our ancestors walked barefoot on natural grounds, not hard concrete. Shapes replicate this natural foot movement in today’s everyday life.

Why don’t Shapes need to be individually tailored?

The human foot is flexible, and so are Shapes. Their special flexibility and shape adapt to different feet under pressure. There’s only one ideal foot shape that applies to all people. Wearing shoes has changed our feet over centuries. Shapes simulate barefoot walking inside a shoe with improved pressure absorption.

Are Shapes suitable for all groups of people?

Shapes are suitable for nearly everyone. For severe orthopaedic conditions, we recommend consulting a doctor first.

From what age are Shapes suitable?

We recommend Shapes from the age of 18. For younger individuals, consent from a guardian is required.

What material are Shapes made of?

Shapes are made from a highly flexible polymer, using a special blend of three material components. This precise composition ensures flexibility and torsion at specific points. The high-quality, skin-friendly, and antibacterial materials combined with this special process guarantee product durability.

Can Shapes be washed?

Shapes are odor-neutral. If cleaning is needed, simply rinse them with plain water without additives.

Do I need to buy larger shoes?

No. Due to their flexibility and thickness of about 1.7mm, larger shoes are not necessary. Only in very tight shoes, like climbing shoes, it might be useful.

How long do Shapes last?

Durability depends on wear time, load, and individual anatomy. Generally, Shapes last several years. We offer a 5-year warranty extension upon registration on our website.

Can Shapes improve my sports performance?

Yes! Stability is crucial in many sports. Whether in the gym, golfing, or jogging, increased stability leads to more secure exercise execution. Shapes’ flexibility acts like a spring, storing and releasing energy in the arch, leading to increased jump height, reduced fatigue, and joint relief on impact.

Can Stick-Its be repurchased?

Stick-Its can be bought on our website. While other Velcro points may work, we recommend using our Stick-It system designed for Shapes for optimal use. It’s ultra-thin and specifically developed for Shapes.

How should I place Shapes?

Place Shapes on the inner sole or, if possible, under it, depending on your comfort. Ensure the inner sole isn’t too thick if you want to place Shapes underneath.
