You're not alone. Many barefoot enthusiasts face the same challenge.
Walking on concrete, tile, and other hard surfaces in minimalist shoes can be unforgiving, leading to sore feet and discomfort.
This leaves you feeling frustrated, disappointed, and wondering if you have to give up the barefoot shoes you love.
You shouldn't have to choose between the freedom of barefoot shoes and the comfort you need for modern life.
Northsole
NorthSole insoles give you just enough cushion to make barefoot shoes wearable on hard surfaces—while staying flat, flexible, and foot-shaped.
We created them after struggling with the same problem: barefoot shoes felt amazing… until concrete made them unbearable.
Real support that feels natural, not squishy. Our insoles provide the cushioning you need for hard floors without the marshmallow effect that leaves your feet unstable.
Zero drop design means your feet stay in their natural position. The flexible construction lets your foot muscles work as they're meant to, not restricted by rigid support.
Our materials are engineered to maintain their cushioning properties over time. You won't experience the compression breakdown that happens with cheaper insoles after a few weeks of use.
Designed for shoes that respect your foot's natural shape. Our trim-to-fit design works in minimalist shoes with wide toe boxes, so you're not forced into narrow, restrictive footwear.
