take a closer look at this product.

Contoured to cradle your heel and support your arch.
Cushioning: Bottom layer of insole designed to absorb shock.
Suitable for casual shoes, dress shoes & sneakers.
Personally, I will need to use silicon type of insole as the reason being sole numbness. Do you encounter such problem?
Modern dress shoes or classic shoes have hard insole and does not give good support or cushioning.
After using special cushion insole, I have recovered from sole numbness and understand the reason why men need to have more than one pair of shoes.
The more shoes you can rotate the lesser chance of catching smelly feet. ( Dat's provided you haven't got one now)
Cheers!

Universal Shoe Wear
By Dana Bradley
Some countries have customs regarding shoe removal when
entering a house. Sometimes it is done to avoid bringing dirt
and foreign materials into the house and sometimes it is done
out of respect for the house. It is customary to remove shoes
when entering a home in Asia, Easter Europe, and part of the
Middle East, Africa, Northern Europe, Canada and Alaska. Other
matters of shoe etiquette include not showing the soles of your
shoes in the Middle East, Africa, Korean or Thailand. If member
of different countries all entered a room and removed their
shoes, depending on the time period, you may be able to tell
what countries are represented just by looking at the footwear.
Shoes have come in many different shapes and sizes, from many
different countries and many different times. There are
drawings in a cave in Spain that date back to more than 15,000
years ago. In these drawings, human are depicted wearing animal
skins and furs wrapped around their feet. We have covered our
feet with leather, wood and straw over the years and as we
discover more materials the shoes grow more interesting and
advanced.
Sandals are the oldest kind of shoe and they still
exist today. Furthermore moccasins, the traditional shoe of
Native Americans look not unlike the loafer that any business
man might wear on a weekend. Even platform soles, which seemed
so outlandish when they were first introduced have a relative
in the chopine, a shoe from the 16th century with a raised
sole, made of wood, and reaching up to 30 inches high. Also
similar to the platform shoe was the Japanese geta. So, the
basic shape of shoes has not changed that drastically over
time. We have changed the materials but not the general idea of
what a shoe is.
A shoe is made up of several basic parts, regardless of the
time period or culture it emerges from. The only difference is
that some of these parts are skipped when making certain kinds
of shoes. First and most well know the shoe has a sole; this is
defined only as the part of the shoe that makes contact with the
ground. In addition to the sole, most shoes have some kind of
shank, a piece of material that is placed between the sole and
the insole. The basic shoe also has other less know parts: the
breast, the cap, the counter, the feather, the puff, the
quarter, the seat, the stiffener, the throat, the top piece,
the topline, the upper, the vamp and the waist.

Tips on Shoe Fitting [Tips]
How many times a year do you purchase a pair of new shoes? The following are a few tips and procedures which you should follow when purchasing a new pair of shoes. Forget which shoes Michael Jordan or the funky shoes your neighbour has. Shoe fitting and function is different for each individual.
Step 2: Know your foot type.
Neturalfoot type: Shoes wear evenly throughtout sole. No visible upper breakdown. Individuals with an average arch height both weight bearing and non-weight bearing.
Pronated foot type: Often a low arch weight bearing and a visible rolling in of the foot. Often lateral heel wear with medial too wear on the sole of the shoe. Upper of the shoe is distorted medically.
Supinated foot type: Often a high arch, thick instep foot type with a wide forefoot. Foot often rolls out during walking, and the sole of the shoe exhibits lateral heel and forefoot wear with the upper distorted laterally.
Step 3: Match the activity with foot type and choose the appropriate type of shoe.
Look out for:
- Shoe should have a rigid heel counter
- Shoe should have a midfoot torsional stability device
- Proper toe spring, rocker sole
- A finger's width of room beyond the longest toe
- Appropriate width in both the heel and toe box
- Also know the difference between arch length of shoe
* Foot length is the heel-to-toe measurement
* Arch length is heel-to-ball of great toe joint measurement
* Arch length of foot must equal arch length of shoe
Finally, ask questions and feel comfortable with the fit and your fitter. If not, please go elsewhere to look for a good pair of shoes that suit you.
