Our story
Back to real value.
Custom insoles made from a scan of your feet, crafted with experienced makers in Guangdong, for $69.99 a pair.
A 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.
So I went back to Guangdong, where my family is from, to find people who make custom insoles well. I partnered with an experienced manufacturing team that 3D-prints custom arch supports with industrial equipment and real care.
CustomSole is the result: 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, nothing extra.
That is what bringing a product back to its real value means to me. I hope you feel it with every step.

Why we started
Custom shouldn’t be a luxury
An insole shaped to your own feet can make everyday walking and standing more comfortable. Yet custom insoles can cost hundreds of dollars, so most people settle for a one-shape-fits-all pair off the shelf.
We wanted a custom fit that more people could say yes to.
Going back to Guangdong
Experienced makers, careful work
Guangdong has been a center of manufacturing for decades, and it is where my family’s story begins. There we found a manufacturing partner that specializes in 3D-printed custom insoles.
Your scan becomes a pair made only for you: each arch shell is printed for its own foot, then finished with cushioning foam, a heel pad and a breathable top cover. Every pair is made to order.
