What specialists & customers say:
It's easy: Pick your usual US shoe size — the same one you buy shoes in. If you wear a men's 8 or women's 9, for example, choose M 8 / W 9.
Depending on the shoe, you sometimes wear a men's 8 and sometimes a 9? Then simply choose the larger size, M 9 / W 10. That way, you'll always get it right.
And if the insole ever turns out a bit too long for your shoe: no problem. On the underside, you'll find marked trim lines for every size — so you can adjust your stepz® perfectly in seconds with regular scissors. The relief zones stay fully intact.
Yes. stepz relieves the forefoot in a targeted way, right where it burns under the ball of your foot.
This includes:
- Ball-of-foot pain (metatarsalgia)
- Splayfoot
- Burning and pressure points under the forefoot
- Arch pain
The Active Arch Support lets the middle of your foot carry its share again. The Targeted Pressure Distribution spreads the load via structured massage points, away from the metatarsal heads, the small bone ends right behind your toes. The Multi-Layer Shock Absorption absorbs every step and keeps its shape.
A ball-of-foot pad makes the spot softer. But it doesn't change where your weight lands. The middle of your foot still carries too little.
An adhesive metatarsal pad works differently: it shifts load via a single point. If that point isn't in exactly the right place, it presses on the spot that's already sensitive.
stepz supports the middle, spreads the load across the whole insole and cushions every step. Nothing to stick in, no exact spot to hit. Firm enough to support, with cushioning for every footfall.
No insole will straighten the bump on the side of your big toe. stepz relieves the pressure under the ball of your foot. That includes the load that shifts to the neighboring bone ends after bunion surgery.
The arch support lets the middle of your foot carry its share again, and the pressure distribution takes load off the forefoot. For more room at the side and front, choose shoes with a wide toe box, such as the stepz Barefoot Shoes.
What matters is a removable insole and enough room in the shoe. Take out the old insole, trim stepz to match its shape and put it in. That way, stepz replaces the existing insole, even in many women's shoes and work shoes.
In ballet flats or sandals with a fixed footbed, stepz sits on top inside the shoe. That takes up room and makes the shoe tighter. That's exactly why you get to test the insoles for 30 days in your own shoes. If they don't work for you, you get your money back.
With a Morton's neuroma, pressure often comes from both directions: the shoe from the side and the load from below. stepz relieves from below: the arch support lets the middle of your foot carry its share again, and the pressure distribution takes load off the sensitive spot under the forefoot.
For the pressure from the side, your toes need room. That's why you should combine the insoles with shoes that are roomy enough at the front.
Yes. stepz are designed to fit your normal shoe size perfectly.

Burning under the ball of your foot. Shoes you can't wear anymore. Five typical situations.
The ball of your foot isn't the problem. Your midfoot isn't carrying enough. And no pad in the world will change that.
Normally, the middle of your foot carries its share with every step. When the arch and transverse ligaments give way, the forefoot spreads and the metatarsal heads, the small bone ends right behind your toes, carry too much load: it burns under the ball of your foot. Calluses protect the spot but increase the pressure underneath even more. Ball-of-foot pads and soft insoles only make it softer without changing where your weight lands.
stepz works differently:
1 · Active Arch Support: The middle of your foot carries its share again.
2 · Targeted Pressure Distribution: Structured massage points spread the load across the whole insole, away from the overloaded metatarsal heads.
3 · Multi-Layer Shock Absorption: It absorbs every step and keeps its shape. Cushioning on top, not instead.

“Many people have relied on soft insoles for years — and still struggle with the same symptoms. Only when pressure is strategically distributed, not just cushioned, does it change how the foot gets through the day. Which is why stepz® is a brilliant development.”
