The daily-wear insole for players who spend the rest of the week on their feet. A 15mm heel cup, the deepest we make, plus a TPU torsion bar through the midfoot, a gel pad under the forefoot, and a perforated top sheet that stops closed work shoes turning into an oven.

How it's built
Support for every hour off the court.
02 · Heel
15mm deep heel cup
The deepest heel cup we make seats and centers the rearfoot, spreading pressure through long hours of standing on tile, concrete, and hardwood.
03 · Structure
Midfoot support that holds firm
A molded TPU torsion bar resists the twist that builds across a day on hard floors, helping Stance stay supportive from the first hour to the last.
04 · Heel cushion
Cushioned heel pad
A dedicated pad sits beneath the heel cup, adding softer contact where standing and walking concentrate pressure through the rearfoot hour after hour.
05 · Airflow
Ventilation you can see
Perforations across the textured top sheet let heat escape instead of trapping it beneath the foot, helping closed work shoes feel fresher for longer.
06 · Forefoot
The contour above the gel pad
The shallow forefoot depression follows the gel pad beneath it, creating targeted cushioning under the ball of the foot while keeping the top surface continuous.

Renee B.
Field testerTen hour shifts are survivable now
I am on a hospital floor five days a week. The last two hours used to be the worst part and now they are just the end of the day.
PhotoHector S.
Field testerSlim enough for dress shoes
This was the thing I was worried about. They fit in my work shoes without making them tight, which no other support insole has managed.
Trish M.
Field testerBought them for work, wear them everywhere
They started in my work shoes and have since ended up in my sneakers and my boots. I keep buying more rather than moving them around.
Owen K.
Field testerGreat support, took a while to trust
Honestly felt like nothing much for the first two weeks and I assumed they were not working. The difference showed up gradually rather than all at once.
Camille R.
Field testerMy lower back thanked me
I expected foot relief and got back relief as well. Teaching all day standing up is a different experience now.
Doug F.
Field testerNot enough arch for my foot
I have a very high arch and these did not fill it, so I ended up with the same pressure on my heel I started with. The return process was easy and the team were straight with me about it, but the product was not right for me.
Alicia T.
Field testerStanding desk all day, no more aching
I switched to a standing desk last year and regretted it by about month two. These fixed the part I was regretting.
Wes N.
Field testerStill firm after four months
Every insole I have owned goes soft in the heel eventually. These have not, and I wear them six days a week.
Marta L.
Field testerRetail floor, open to close
I manage a store and I am on the sales floor the whole shift. I went from counting down the hours to not thinking about my feet at all.
PhotoBryan H.
Field testerThe pair I reach for over the court ones
I joined the test for the court insole and use these more. Turns out the standing was doing more damage than the playing was.
Elaine C.
Field testerComfortable, but they squeak
The support is fine and my feet feel better at the end of the day. There is a squeak in my left shoe that I cannot get rid of and it drives me up the wall in a quiet office.
Sam A.
Field testerNoticed them when I stopped wearing them
Wore a different pair of shoes for a wedding and my feet were done by nine. That was when I understood what they had been doing.
Priyanka V.
Field testerTwelve hour shifts, finally
Nursing nights and the last stretch was always brutal. It is genuinely manageable now and I am not exaggerating that.
Chuck D.
Field testerBack to walking the dog twice a day
The morning walk had gotten short because of my heel. It is back to the full loop and that is entirely down to these.
Tessa W.
Field testerHeld up to a warehouse job
Concrete floors, ten hours, steel toes. If they can take that they can take anything.
Nolan G.
Field testerNo break-in at all for me
Read that some people needed a week or two to adjust. Mine felt right the first day and have stayed that way.

What the research says
The 2023 heel pain clinical practice guideline supports a combined approach: stretching, load management, and, where appropriate, foot orthoses as part of a wider treatment plan. HeelBase follows that same support-first principle.

HeelBase Stance questions
The answers buyers seek the most before choosing this insole.
Stance is built for the standing hours off the court, at work and around the house. Drive is engineered for court movement: lateral load, hard stops, and repeated split-steps. Plenty of players wear both, one in their work shoes and one in their court shoes.
