5 Signs Your Feet Are Telling You to Switch to Remind Insoles

We’re curious—when was the last time you actually checked the condition of your insoles? Be honest. Most people overlook them completely, but here’s the thing: insoles play a huge role in your comfort, performance, and even long-term foot health. Whether you’re an athlete, a skateboarder, or just someone who spends a ton of time on their feet all day, worn-out insoles can seriously hold you back. If you’re noticing any of the 5 signs below, it might be time to ditch those old stock insoles and upgrade to Remind. Don’t take our word for it, though—see if these sound familiar.

Loss of Cushioning
One of the main reasons folks replace their insoles is to get a little extra cushioning! And those folks know firsthand that a decrease in cushioning can be subtle… but detrimental. If your shoes feel less comfortable, or you’re feeling the ground more acutely with every step, your insoles have probably lost their bounce. This doesn’t just mean sore feet—it can translate into added stress on your ankles, knees, hips, and even your back, eventually funneling into bigger problems down the line. Who wants that? Remind Insoles are engineered with advanced cushioning that maintains its shape and resilience, giving you consistent comfort and shock absorption. Whether it’s the Cush, Medic, Destin, or Remedy, you’ll always have a little more cushion to keep pushin’.

Visible Wear and Tear
Take a close look at your insoles right now. Do you see cracks, holes, flattened spots, or uneven wear? If so, that’s your sign they’re done. Over time (often pretty quickly, actually), stock insoles lose their structural integrity and stop providing the support and impact protection your feet need. And once that support disappears, every step starts taking a toll. Fortunately, all Remind insoles are crafted with high-quality, durable materials designed to outlast stock insoles by a mile. If your shoes are screaming, “Replace my soles!” you better listen.

Decreased Performance
This is a pretty big one. If you’ve noticed a decline in your athletic performance or daily activities, your insoles could be the culprit. Good insoles genuinely enhance your movement by providing stability, support, and responsiveness. On the flip side, worn-out insoles can compromise your balance, agility, and overall comfort. Remind insoles are built to improve your performance with superior arch support, heel cushioning, and impact absorption—helping you stay at the top of your game, whether you’re skating, running, or just on your feet all day.

Persistent Foot Pain
Experiencing foot pain—especially after skating, training, or even just walking around—is a clear signal it’s time to swap insoles. Worn-out pairs fail to provide the support your feet need, which often leads to pain in your heels, arches, or the balls of your feet. Left unchecked, that pain can snowball into chronic issues like plantar fasciitis. Remind insoles are designed to properly align your feet, reduce pressure points, and keep pain at bay. Best insoles for common foot problems? Best insoles for plantar fasciitis? Remind Insoles are your solution.  

Noticeable Discomfort
Lastly, if you feel constant discomfort when standing, walking, or running, it’s time to face the music—your insoles are toast. And let’s be real: comfort is everything when it comes to staying active and pushing your limits. Worn-out insoles drag you down, but Remind insoles deliver genuine, long-lasting comfort with a custom-feel fit that adapts to the shape of your foot. Stock insoles could never. This is just one of the many reasons Remind stands out from the rest.

So, what’s the takeaway here? Simple: replacing your insoles with high-quality options like Remind (whether it’s the Cush, Destin, Medic, or Remedy) makes a massive difference in your comfort, performance, and overall foot health. Don’t wait until minor aches turn into major problems—check your insoles regularly (like, right now!) and make the switch to Remind. Your feet will thank you.
