Why ZeroSole?
Finding the right solution to soothe your foot pain can be difficult with so many options available. Some offer temporary relief, while bespoke solutions can be more expensive and take time to produce.
ZeroSole is different.
Combining the convenience of a ready-to-use insole with the ability to create targeted relief, its durable silicone design is made for long-term support.
Here’s how it compares with other pressure-related options:

Backed by clinical research
ZeroSole was created by practising podiatrists David Barton and Heather Smart.
Our evidence-led approach has included laboratory testing at ATiC and clinical evaluation at Cardiff Metropolitan University, demonstrating statistically significant pain reduction and up to a 28% reduction in peak plantar pressure when ZeroSole is customised to off-load a targeted area.
Is ZeroSole the right fit for you?
Targeted relief every step of the way
ZeroSole’s modular hexagonal design allows individual cells to be removed around a specific pressure point.
You can customise your ZeroSole in five simple steps:
1: Trim the insole to fit your shoe
2: Mark the pain point
3: Step on the insole to locate the corresponding area
4: Find the hexagonal cells beneath the pressure point
5: Pull out the relevant cells and place your ZeroSole in your shoe
Common Questions
What foot problems can ZeroSole help with?
What foot problems can ZeroSole help with?
ZeroSole is designed to help manage pressure-related foot problems, including corns and calluses, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis and other painful pressure points on the sole of the foot. It works by allowing you to create targeted off-loading around the area experiencing pressure.
Will ZeroSole fit my shoes?
Will ZeroSole fit my shoes?
ZeroSole is approximately 5.5mm thick at the forefoot and 20mm at the heel and can fit into most conventional enclosed footwear including:
- Trainers
- Work boots
- Casual shoes
- Athletic shoes
Important: You may need to remove the existing insert from your shoe, to avoid tightness.
How long does ZeroSole last?
How long does ZeroSole last?
With regular daily use, ZeroSole insoles typically last 6-8 months before the medical grade silicone begins to show significant wear. This is considerably longer than foam insoles which compress within 2-3 months.
Is ZeroSole a permanent solution and do I need to keep using it?
Is ZeroSole a permanent solution and do I need to keep using it?
ZeroSole addresses the primary cause (pressure) that creates corns and calluses. As long as the underlying pressure pattern remains (due to your foot structure, gait, or footwear), continued use of ZeroSole helps prevent recurrence. Many customers use it as a long-term management solution.
How do I customise ZeroSole?
How do I customise ZeroSole?
ZeroSole can be customised at home in five simple steps:
- Trim the insole to fit your shoe.
- Mark the area where you experience pain or pressure using the supplied sticker.
- Step on the insole with the sticker touching it to transfer the mark.
- Identify the hexagonal cells directly beneath the marked area.
- Remove the marked cells to create an off-loading cavity beneath the pressure point.
The remaining cells stay in place to support the rest of your foot.
Do I need to remove my existing insole?

When should I speak to a podiatrist?
When should I speak to a podiatrist?
If your foot pain is persistent, your corn or callus keeps returning, or you’re unsure whether ZeroSole is suitable for you, speak to a podiatrist. They can assess the problem, identify what may be causing the pressure and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
