The problem the insole industry ignores
For decades, every insole labeled “women's” or “unisex” was designed for men.
Look past the marketing and you'll see the pattern. Every major brand uses the same formula. Men's biomechanics, scaled down to smaller sizes. Different label, same flawed design.
But women's feet aren't just smaller. They're biomechanically different. Narrower heels that slip in wider heel cups. Higher arches positioned differently than men's. A wider hip angle that creates a different gait pattern and changes how pressure distributes through your feet.
Insoles built for the wrong anatomy don't just fail to help. They put support in the wrong spots and force your body to compensate. That's how pain persists. That's how it gets worse.
