Adding warm winter insoles to everyday shoes and boots
Walter's Winter Sole insoles are made for keeping feet warmer in cold weather, whether you're walking, commuting, or spending time outdoors in winter. The padded polar fleece fibre provides soft warmth and comfort, while a metallic layer insulates from the cold. They fit most types of shoes and boots.[1,2]
Cushioning for all-day wear in winter shoes
The Winter Sole insoles include a foam layer described as adding cushioning for all-day comfort. A black fleece top layer adds soft warmth and a metalised bottom layer reflects cold, making them suited to winter footwear. The anti-slip coating keeps them secure inside shoes.[1]
Adding warm insoles to shoes and boots without changing the fit
Slip the Winter Sole into shoes or boots for cooler weather; the slim design is meant to minimise any noticeable change in fit, and it fits most types of shoes and boots. An anti-slip coating is described as keeping the insoles secure inside the shoe while you wear them.[1,2]
Replacing the insoles in your winter shoes
These insoles are made to replace the existing insoles in your shoes: remove the originals, insert the Winter Sole with the metalised side facing down, and press gently so they sit snugly and comfortably. To clean them, wipe with a damp cloth and let them air dry.[1]
Layering Winter Sole insoles over orthotics
For anyone who wears prescription or custom orthotics, these insoles can be used together with them for added warmth or cushioning in winter footwear. Walter's notes this works only if your shoes have enough room to fit both the insole and the orthotic, so a roomier pair of boots is a better match than a snug one.[1]

They come in black in whole sizes 5 to 10, with an upper of synthetic foam and textile and an Alutex back.[1,3] |
