There is a need to replace the insoles of your shoes from time to time. But how often should you buy insoles?
1-3months: Typically, insoles will last longer than a couple of months. However, in some rare cases, the wear and tear can happen very fast. If, for example, you use them constantly and their quality is not great in the first place, they may last for only a short period of time.
3-6 months: Insoles that last for around three to four months are more common. If you walk or run around a lot, your insoles should last this long in most cases. At this point, if you can see some holes or collapse, you may want to change them already.
6-9 months: Around six to nine months should be the ideal and most typical lifespan of insoles. If the quality is decent, there should be no problems reaching this long. Nevertheless, you should still maintain and clean them properly.
9 months+: It’s also not exactly rare for insoles to last even longer. However, even if the condition of your insoles is still okay, you may still want to consider replacing them. Just like with toothbrushes, replacing them constantly is a hygienic choice.
2. Factors to consider in replacing insoles
Brand and Quality – you should look at the insoles’ brand to assess whether they are high-quality or not
Material and Type – Insoles can be created with different materials and in different styles. For instance, foam-only insoles with cushions may be more comfortable, but insoles with plastic may last longer.
Use – You should consider what use you have for them whether it’s for comfort, exercise, or for medical reasons.
Shoes – Insoles should feel comfortable paired with your shoes.
