CADENCE INSOLES

Cadence Insoles are over the counter orthotic insoles designed by a physical therapist with more than 30 years of experience with insoles and orthotics. They combine the support of a semi-rigid orthotic with the comfort of a cushioned insole, so you can upgrade the shoes you already own. At Sole Provisions, the Cadence collection includes Original, Ex, Ex+MP, Comfort Plus, Cushion, Slim, Low Volume, Low Arch, and 3/4 length designs, and it sits naturally beside our wider shoe inserts, arch support shoes, and walking shoes selections.

Designed by a Physical Therapist

Cadence says its insoles were designed by a physical therapist to combine semi-rigid orthotic support with genuinely shock absorbing comfort. The goal is simple: support underfoot without the bulk of a traditional orthotic. For medical questions about your feet, check with a healthcare professional. If you want to compare other insole approaches, explore Superfeet and PowerStep.

Semi-Rigid Shell With Shock Absorbing Foam

A semi-rigid orthotic shell provides arch support, while proprietary shock absorbing foam adds energy return. Together they are meant to give structure without feeling hard underfoot. Materials are described as resisting compression and deformation, which supports lasting comfort.

Heel Comfort Zone and Deep Heel Cup

A heel Comfort Zone protects the heel at impact without compromising overall stability, and a deep heel cup improves pressure distribution and helps keep the foot aligned with every step. This design is meant for people who spend long days on their feet. Pair them with women's socks or men's socks.

Antimicrobial, Slip Resistant Top Covers

The top cover is antimicrobial and slip resistant, so your foot stays in place inside the shoe. The Comfort Plus uses a Plastazote top layer under the heel and forefoot for extra cushioning. Features vary by model, so check each product page.

Choosing Between the Cadence Models

The range includes several designs, so check each product page for the one that fits your shoes and feet. Comfort Plus uses a Plastazote top layer, Cushion is a foam only design with mild arch support, and the Ex+MP and Ex are full length designs. Slim, Low Volume, Low Arch, and 3/4 length options are also available. Details and sizing vary by model.

Insoles in Running Shoes and Everyday Shoes

Cadence insoles work with your existing shoes without needing to size up or switch styles. For running shoes, replace the original insole with your Cadence insole instead of stacking them, and make sure the shoe still fits comfortably. Browse our running shoes, women's sneakers, and men's sneakers with removable insoles. If you need extra room, browse our wide width shoes.

Getting the Right Fit

Sizing and trimming guidance are not listed on the collection page, so follow the instructions that come with your pair. For a personal fitting, visit one of our Sole Provisions locations, or read more in our educational hub and our guide to sneakers for plantar fasciitis. Keep shoes fresh with our shoe care products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy Cadence EX insoles?

You can shop Cadence Ex and Ex+MP insoles at Sole Provisions, online and in our stores. Find a store near you. Browse the full Cadence collection to see current models.

Is buying insoles worth it?

Insoles can be a simple way to add support or cushioning to shoes you already like, but results are personal. Compare models, check the fit in your shoes, and ask a healthcare professional if you have a foot concern.

Are orthopedic insoles worth the money?

It depends on your feet and your needs. Over the counter insoles like Cadence cost less than custom orthotics, but they are not a substitute for professional advice. For personal recommendations, speak with a healthcare professional.

What insoles do podiatrists recommend?

We cannot speak for individual podiatrists. Cadence is designed by a physical therapist, and other insole brands we carry include Superfeet and PowerStep. A healthcare professional can advise what suits your feet.

What are the most comfortable insoles?

Comfort is personal and depends on your feet, your shoes, and how you use them. Cadence Comfort Plus and Cushion are the more cushioned designs. Browse our shoe inserts to compare.

How often should I replace Cadence insoles?

The collection page does not give a replacement schedule. Insoles wear with use, so replace them when they look flattened or damaged, or when they no longer feel supportive. For personal guidance, ask a healthcare professional.

Is it okay to put insoles in running shoes?

Many runners use aftermarket insoles. Replace the shoe's original insole instead of stacking them, and make sure the shoe still fits comfortably. See our running shoes.

Does Sole Provisions offer free shipping and returns on Cadence?
