Extra cushioning where you need it

The soft layer sits between your foot and the cork, adding a gentle give with every step. You still get the deep heel cup, supportive arch and moulded cork of the classic footbed.

It is a popular upgrade for people who spend a lot of time on their feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between regular and Soft Footbed?

The Soft Footbed has an additional layer of foam under the suede lining, which gives it a cushioned feel from the first wear. The regular footbed is firmer at first and moulds to your foot over time. Both share the same shape.

Does the Soft Footbed fit differently?

The extra cushioning can make the fit feel slightly snugger. Many people stay with their usual size. If you are between sizes or prefer more room, consider the size up and check how your heel sits in the cup before you decide.

Is the Soft Footbed good for daily wear?

Yes, many wearers choose it for everyday comfort because of the soft feel. It suits long days standing or walking on firm floors. If you prefer a firmer base underfoot, the classic footbed may be more your style, so it comes down to personal preference.

How do I clean a Soft Footbed?

Wipe the suede lining with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid soaking the footbed, as too much water can affect the cork and cushioning. Brush gently once dry to lift the surface and keep it looking fresh.
