Orthotic Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis Relief
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain — and the wrong footwear makes it worse. Old Bones Therapy insoles are built with medical-grade materials to support your arch, absorb impact, and reduce the strain on your plantar fascia with every step.
Whether you're standing all day at work, recovering from a flare-up, or skating through your session, our insoles provide the structural support your feet need to heal and stay comfortable.
Two Insole Types, One Goal: Pain Relief
All Day Foot Insoles — Designed for sustained arch support during long hours on your feet. The contoured footbed cradles your arch and redistributes pressure away from the heel, making them ideal for work boots, casual shoes, and everyday wear.
Shock Absorbing Foot Insoles — Built with high-density cushioning to absorb impact during high-activity use. Perfect for athletes, skaters, runners, and anyone whose plantar fasciitis flares up during physical activity.
Not sure which to choose? If your pain is worst in the morning or after sitting, start with All Day. If your pain spikes during activity, go Shock Absorbing. Many customers use both — one pair for work, one for play.
Complete Your Recovery
For the best results, pair your insoles with our compression sleeves for plantar fasciitis. Insoles support the arch from below while compression sleeves stabilize the plantar fascia from the outside — together, they form a complete recovery system for your feet.
Every insole in this collection is HSA/FSA eligible and ships in multi-pack options for stocking up. Browse our full orthotic insole collection for all available options.
FAQs
What type of insoles are best for plantar fasciitis?
The best insoles for plantar fasciitis provide firm arch support and heel cushioning to reduce strain on the plantar fascia. Look for orthotic insoles with a contoured footbed rather than flat gel inserts — the arch support is what provides lasting relief. Old Bones Therapy offers two types: All Day insoles for sustained support during work and daily wear, and Shock Absorbing insoles for high-impact activities like running, skating, and sports.
Do insoles really help with plantar fasciitis?
Yes — orthotic insoles are one of the most recommended non-surgical treatments for plantar fasciitis. They work by redistributing pressure across the foot, supporting the arch, and cushioning the heel where the plantar fascia attaches. Studies show that supportive insoles reduce plantar fascia strain by up to 25% during walking. Most people notice reduced morning heel pain within 1-2 weeks of consistent use.
Should I use shock absorbing or arch support insoles for plantar fasciitis?
It depends on when your pain is worst. If your plantar fasciitis flares up during or after physical activity (running, skating, standing for hours), shock absorbing insoles reduce impact force on every step. If your pain is worst in the morning or after sitting, arch support insoles (like our All Day model) provide the structural support your plantar fascia needs throughout the day. Many customers keep a pair of each — one for active use and one for everyday shoes.
Can I wear plantar fasciitis insoles in Vans or skate shoes?
Absolutely. Old Bones Therapy insoles are designed to fit inside flat-soled shoes like Vans, skate shoes, and casual sneakers. Simply remove the stock insole from your shoe and replace it with the OBT insole. Our insoles are trimmed to standard shoe sizes and fit snugly in most lace-up shoes. Skaters especially benefit from the Shock Absorbing model, which cushions impact landings while supporting the arch.
How long do plantar fasciitis insoles take to work?
Most people feel some relief within the first few days as the insole supports the arch and reduces heel pressure. Significant improvement in morning heel pain typically happens within 1-2 weeks of wearing them consistently. For best results, wear your insoles in all shoes you use regularly — switching between supported and unsupported shoes can slow recovery. Pair insoles with a compression ankle sleeve for even faster relief.
