About

Remind Insoles is a premium insole manufacturer focused on bringing comfort and support to daily life through 3 key principles:

Foot & joint alignment
Injury prevention
Cushioning

A third-party study by Heeluxe Footwear Science and Research evaluated the support, cushioning, and comfort of Remind Insoles against stock and competitor insoles. Eight skateboarders tested each insole using FSR sensors to measure foot-to-shoe pressure across various foot regions during high-impact activities. The results indicated that Remind Insoles exhibited the lowest pressure levels in the forefoot, arch, and heel areas, offering superior shock absorption and arch support compared to both stock and competitor insoles.

The pain-free insole solutions have been meticulously crafted over 40-years of biomechanics and bio-medical practices, as well as rigorous testing from some of the world’s most elite athletes, including Travis Rice, Steve Cabellero, and now Chris Benchetler.

Founding Story

Remind Insoles was developed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where the founder, deeply rooted in the snowboarding and skateboarding communities, recognized a significant gap in performance footwear. Traditional insoles couldn’t meet the physical demands of board sports, leading to injuries, discomfort, and limited progression. Motivated to solve this, he partnered with biomedical and biomechanical engineers to develop a new standard of orthotic support, tailored specifically for high-impact action sports. Over 40 years of scientific insight, real-world testing, and athlete feedback—from legends like Travis Rice and Bryan Iguchi—shaped what would become Remind Insoles: a brand built on innovation, athletic excellence, and the pursuit of unmatched comfort and performance for daily life.
