The Best Insoles for Boots

Boots are considered heavy footwear, whether you’re on a jobsite or dressing for the weather. But like most shoes, they don’t always provide enough arch support and can start to hurt after a long day on your feet. Adding boot insoles is a smart way to ensure comfort and prevent pain.

What happens when you wear unsupportive boots for too long?

When you wear boots without arch support for extended periods—especially for work—they tend to take a toll on your body. Why does this happen, even if they feel comfortable enough at the start of the day? The answer has to do with your foot’s natural arch.

Your foot’s arch is the curve along the sole, and it’s shaped by your bones, tendons, and ligaments. The arch acts as a natural support and shock absorber that distributes the forces and weight of walking, running, jumping, and other movements.

Your gait, or way of walking, affects the distribution of pressure and weight from the foot to the rest of the body:

  • Low or flat arches: Your foot may tend to roll inward as you walk and flatten the arch. This is known as overpronation.
  • High arches: The outer part of your heel may touch the ground first. This is known as underpronation or supination

In both cases, weight is not distributed evenly as you step, which concentrates the impact in a smaller area. Wearing boots without proper arch support can result in discomfort, irritation, and pain. 

The longer you walk without arch support, the worse the pain tends to be and the higher the risk of injury. Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, stress fractures, and foot, knee, hip, and back pain are all common complaints among those who work on their feet.
