Can I wear Joya shoes with orthotic insoles?

Ratgeber Health | Joya shoes with orthotic insoles

Yes, depending on the Joya model, custom or orthopaedic insoles can be used. It is essential that there is enough space in the shoe for the insole and that the foot still sits securely and without pressure points afterwards.

When choosing, in addition to shoe size, particular attention should be paid to internal volume, last shape, foot width and the height of the insole. It is best to bring your insoles with you when trying on the shoes.

Note: Whether a particular insole should be combined with a particular shoe model depends on the individual fitting. For orthopaedic or medical questions, we recommend consulting a specialist.

What role does the shoe play?

An insole changes the internal volume and, in some cases, the position of the foot in the shoe. Therefore, it is not just the insole itself that matters, but the combination of foot, insole and shoe.

Sufficient internal volume

the insole must not constrict the foot upwards or from the sides.

Suitable last shape

the foot and insole must fit the shoe together.

Secure heel fit

the foot should remain stable in the shoe despite the insole.

Sufficient toe room

the insole must not create additional pressure.

Removable original insole

depending on the model, this can make it easier to replace it with a custom insole.

Not every Joya model is automatically suitable for every custom insole. Please check the specific combination of shoe, foot and insole when trying on the shoes. Medically prescribed insoles should be used according to your specialist’s recommendations.

In brief

Depending on the Joya model, custom insoles can be used.

Not every insole fits every shoe model.

The insole changes the available internal volume of the shoe.

A removable original insole can make replacement easier.

The shoes should always be tried on with the insole actually being used.

For medically prescribed insoles, the fitting should be discussed with a specialist.

Buying guide

If you wear insoles, you should always try on the shoes with exactly the insoles you intend to use in them later.

Joya shoes with orthotic insoles - Frequently asked questions

Can I wear Joya shoes with insoles?
Depending on the model, custom or orthopaedic insoles can be used in Joya shoes. It is essential that there is enough space and that the shoe still fits well with the insole.
Do orthopaedic insoles fit in all Joya shoes?
No. Construction, last shape and internal volume vary depending on the model. Suitability should therefore be checked for the specific shoe.
Can I remove the original insole?
That depends on the model. In models with a removable original insole, removing it can create additional space for a custom insole.
Should I bring my insoles when trying on the shoes?
Yes. Only with the insole actually being used can you assess whether the space, heel fit and toe room are right.
Do I need a larger shoe size when wearing insoles?
Not automatically. Length, width and internal volume of the shoe are decisive. A larger shoe size can reduce stability if it makes the shoe too long.
Which Joya models are particularly suitable for insoles?
In principle, models that offer sufficient space for the respective insole are suitable. Since internal volume varies depending on the model, individual fitting is recommended.
Can an insole change the fit of the shoe?
Yes. An insole can position the foot higher and reduce the available volume in the shoe. The fit must therefore be checked with the insole inserted.
What should be considered for wide feet and insoles?
For wide feet, you should also ensure sufficient space in the forefoot and a suitable last shape. The insole must not constrict the foot further.
Can I wear Joya shoes with insoles all day?
If the shoe and insole fit well together individually, many Joya models can be worn for longer periods in everyday life. The personal fit is decisive.
How do I find the right Joya shoe for my insoles?
Bring your insoles when trying on the shoes and check the fit, internal volume, heel fit and toe room together with the shoe.
When should I involve a specialist?
For medically prescribed insoles, pain, pressure points or uncertainty about the fitting, the combination of shoe and insole should be discussed with an orthopaedic or medical specialist.
