What sizes are these inserts available in?
The CarbonEaze insert are sold in mm’s (millimetre’s) lengths as that is the most internationally used measurement system.
Use this table to convert the imperial system measurements to millimetres:
mm's: | 215 | 225 | 235 | 245 | 255 | 265 | 275 | 285 | 295 | 300 | 310 | 320 | 330 |
inches: | 8.5 | 8.8 | 9.3 | 9.6 | 10 | 10.4 | 10.8 | 11.2 | 11.6 | 11.8 | 12.2 | 12.6 | 13 |
How to measure the size for these inserts?
There are two ways to do this and for the most accurate result, perhaps use both methods. One is to remove an insole from a pair of your current shoes that has one and measure the length of that. Alternatively, you could stand on a piece of paper and trace around the outside of your foot and then measure the length of your foot. Remember that your shoes are typically a bit bigger than your foot.
What happens if I order the wrong size?
Simply send it back to the address on the packing slip and we will replace it.
Can these inserts be cut to the correct length?
No. They are made of rigid carbon fibre, so are very strong and can not be cut. However, if you have access to a grinder and are very careful and follow the proper safety procedures, you could grind a bit of the length to make them fit in the shoe better.
How do you use these rigid carbon fibre inserts?
You simply place them in your shoes and you are good to go. They are only 1-1.2mm thick, so do not take up much room. You can wear them under any insole that is in the shoe or under foot orthotics if you wear them.
It is important that you ease into them at first. It may pay to only wear them for an hour or so the first day and increase it slowly from there. They will change the way that you walk so you do need to allow time for your body to get used to wearing them.
Do you recommend any particular shoes to wear them in?
Not really as they can fit in most shoes. The best shoes to wear them in are those that tend to have a rocker type motion. The highly cushioned Hoka running shoes are great for this.
Do you need a pair or is just one adequate?
If you have problems on one side only, then only wearing one is more than adequate. If you have problems on both sides, then order two.
Do these carbon fibre inserts come in a left and right foot?
No. You simply turn them over for the other foot.
