How to Fit and Position the Solemates Arch Pillow Orthotic Insole

Fitting orthotics into open-toed shoes, summer sandals, or fashion footwear can be tricky without adding unwanted bulk.

The Docpods Solemates Arch Pillow provides slimline arch support and cushioning designed specifically for low-profile shoes. Here is how to check the fit and secure them properly.

Checking the Fit and Alignment

Before peeling off the backing, place the orthotic inside your sandal or shoe to check its placement. Ensure the heel of the insole sits flush against the heel of the shoe. The front edge of the arch pillow should sit comfortably just behind the joint of your big toe. Checking these points ensures the arch contour supports your foot in the right spot without interfering with your gait.

Temporary Positioning and Adhesive Backing

To test the position before permanently fixing the insole, peel back only a small portion of the adhesive backing paper. Insert the insole into the shoe and try it on to test the fit and feel. Once you are satisfied with the location, remove the rest of the backing paper to press the full-length adhesive base firmly onto the footbed. This keeps the slim polyurethane orthotic securely anchored during wear.

Key Features of the Solemates Arch Pillow

  • Full-length adhesive base stays firmly positioned inside sandals, thongs, or slim shoes.
  • Contoured polyurethane material provides high medial arch support.
  • Ultra-slim design remains virtually invisible while wearing open-style shoes.
  • Supports the arch structure to help cushion impacts and manage daily foot aches.
Fitting TipAlways test the position by peeling back just a small section of the backing paper first. This lets you re-adjust the orthotic's position before committing to the full adhesive bond.
