Our story

Custom fit. Real value.

We started CustomSole because insoles made for your feet shouldn’t cost hundreds of dollars or a trip to a clinic. Scan your feet at home with your phone, and we 3D-print a pair from that scan for $69.99.

01The problem

Most insoles are made for an average foot.

The insoles on a store shelf come in a handful of sizes and one arch shape. They’re designed around an average foot, and nobody’s feet are quite average. Your left and right foot often aren’t identical either.

Truly custom insoles exist, but they often cost hundreds of dollars and usually mean booking an appointment, getting measured in person and waiting. So most of us settle for whatever is on the shelf, and end up with a few pairs that almost fit.

02A letter from our founder

Why I started CustomSole

I grew up in the United States and went to college here. Somewhere between long days on campus and my first years of work, I noticed how much my feet shaped the rest of my day.

When they felt good, I moved more and simply felt better. When they didn’t, everything felt a little harder. Custom insoles helped. What never made sense to me was the price. A custom pair can cost hundreds of dollars and may take an appointment or two. The more I looked into it, the more it seemed people were paying for the markup, not the insole.

It didn’t have to be that way. Your phone can now scan your feet at home, and 3D printing can make a single pair for a single person. Put those together, and a custom fit stops being a luxury.

That’s CustomSole: a scan on your phone, an arch printed from that scan for each foot, and one honest price of $69.99. No clinic visit, no sizing guesswork.

Bringing a product back to its real value is the whole idea. I hope you feel it with every step.

03What we believe

Custom fit should be normal, not a luxury.

Three things guide every pair we make.

  1. Fit starts with your feet

    Not a size chart, not an average. Every pair begins with a scan of the person who will wear it.

  2. A fair price, out in the open

    $69.99 a pair. Full Length is available now. 3/4 Length is coming soon. No appointments, no fitting fees. We spend on the insole, not the markup.

  3. Straight talk

    Plain answers and clear policies. CustomSole is a comfort product, and we won’t promise more than it can do.

04What we do about it

So we made custom simple.

No clinic visit and no size-chart guessing. Just your phone, your feet and a pair made from them.
