Dr. Scholl’s® insoles and orthotics are designed to fit a range of shoe sizes. For the best fit, purchase the insole or orthotic size that matches your particular shoe size. Typically, men’s insoles and orthotics range from sizes 8-13, and women’s insoles and orthotics range from sizes 6-10. For exact sizing information, visit the product page for the insole or orthotic you’re interested in.

All Dr. Scholl’s® insoles and orthotics should fit in most shoes. However, some have a slimmer design that fits best in dress shoes:

Depending on your shoe size and the insole or orthotic you’ve purchased, trimming may be necessary to obtain an optimal fit. Visit the product page for your specific insole or orthotic for more information.

Most Dr. Scholl’s® insoles and orthotics are designed to last six (6) months with regular use. They should be replaced within this timeframe or at the first signs of wear.

You can wash Dr. Scholl’s® Insoles and orthotics by hand or in a washing machine on a cold-temperature setting. They should be left to air-dry; they cannot be machine-dried.

Dr. Scholl’s® insoles and orthotics can placed over a shoe’s existing insole as long as the shoe is still comfortable and does not feel too tight. Any insole or orthotic that is not full-length should be placed on top of your shoe’s existing insole.
