gel insoles

Squishy foot pads

Gel insoles are cushioned shoe inserts made from silicone or similar soft, flexible material.

They slip inside footwear to absorb shock, reduce pressure on feet, and add comfort during walking or standing: These gel insoles made my work shoes bearable.

Sold in drugstores and shoe shops, they're a cheap alternative to custom orthotics.
