Q: “I see that you have three different styles of ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts. How do I know which style is right for me?”

A: ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts are made from material that has a molecular structure which is sensitive to the weight and activity level of each individual user.

• If your weight is 130 lbs. or under, we would recommend ShockBlockers® LIGHT Insole Inserts.
  
  
• If your weight is over 130 lbs., we would recommend ShockBlockers® WORK/SPORT Insole Inserts.
  
  
• If you have sensitive, injured or injury-prone feet, we would recommend ShockBlockers® DELUXE Insole Inserts. Our DELUXE Inserts will require shoes with adequate room to accommodate the additional thickness of the product. If you have a foot related medical condition, please consult with your physician prior to using ShockBlockers® DELUXE Insole Inserts.

A: ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts are available in the following US sizes and can easily be trimmed to an exact fit with a normal pair of household scissors.

SMALL (Men’s 4-6 Women’s 6-8)
MEDIUM (Men’s 7-9 Women’s 9-11)
LARGE (Men’s 10-12 Women’s 12-14)
X-LARGE (Men’s 13-15 Women’s 15-17)
XX-Large (Men’s 16-18 Women’s 18-20)

A: You may notice that when you take your ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts from the package (and also when you put them on each day), they may feel somewhat cold and hard. This is because the polymer we use in the core construction of the product is sensitive to temperature.

ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts are designed to function at 90 degrees F. (which is skin temperature for anyone with a pulse and respiration!). Once you have your shoes on, it takes approximately 10-15 seconds for the core material to become softer and adapt itself to the temperature and shape of your feet.

A: In most cases, the answer is “yes”. As long as the shoes are the same size, you will find that your ShockBlockers® Inserts will easily slip out of one pair of shoes and into the other.

A: High heels can be problematic. This is primarily due to the fact that, in the US market, the average size of a woman’s foot is size 8, but the average size shoe sold is size 7 ½. Besides being too tight, ladies high heeled shoes rarely have a stock insert that can be removed.

If you have a bit of room in the shoe, you may want to try a set of the ShockBlockers LIGHT Insole Inserts. The lower density of the core material will usually allow for an acceptable fit.

A: The lifespan of your ShockBlockers® Insole Inserts is largely determined by how much use and abuse they are subjected to. A safe rule of thumb is that your ShockBlockers® Inserts should last for two years or two pairs of shoes, whichever comes first. Someone using their ShockBlockers® Inserts in running or work shoes will wear out both their shoes and their ShockBlockers® Inserts faster than a person who is on their feet very little.
