by Amigo Cart Private Limited 01 Sep 2025

Choosing the Right Insole Matters

When it comes to shoe comfort, insoles make all the difference. But with so many options available, it can be confusing to know which one suits your needs. The two most popular types are memory foam insoles and gel insoles. Both provide cushioning, but they serve slightly different purposes.

At Helios India, we want you to make the best choice for your comfort, posture, and lifestyle.


What Are Memory Foam Insoles?

Memory foam insoles are made from high-density foam that molds to the unique shape of your foot. They provide customized cushioning, distributing weight evenly across the sole.

Benefits of Memory Foam Insoles:

  • Provides soft cushioning ideal for daily wear

  • Reduces pressure points on the heel and ball of the foot

  • Excellent for standing or walking long hours

Best For:

  • Students with long school hours

  • Travelers who walk extensively

  • Seniors looking for soft foot support


What Are Gel Insoles?

Gel insoles are made from flexible silicone gel that absorbs shocks and provides targeted pressure relief, particularly in high-impact zones.

Benefits of Gel Insoles:

  • Superior shock absorption during running or sports
