Cloudcell
Ten hours in. Still comfortable.
By the tenth hour, it is not your feet that are tired. It is the floor that stopped giving anything back.

The mechanism
Cells that come back up, not foam that stays flat.
Cloudcell is a latex cushion moulded in hundreds of separate cells. Each one compresses under your step and springs back for the next one. Foam feels good for an hour and then stays flat. Cells keep working through the shift.
How it lands
Same step, softer landing.
A hard, flat sole meets your heel at one angle and stays there. The illustration shows where that load concentrates through the ankle.
Hundreds of independent cells settle around the heel instead of resisting it, so the same step spreads out instead of landing on one point.
This is an illustration of how the two soles sit under the foot, not a diagnosis or a treatment claim. If you have a diagnosed ankle or joint condition, the person to ask is a podiatrist.
What that gets you
Cells, not a sheet
Press one and its neighbours do not move. A foam sheet spreads the load across itself and takes a set.
Vented end to end
The cells stand apart and the moulding is perforated the full length, heel to toe.
Cut to your shoe
Lay your old insole on top as a template and trim the toe. The closed cells cut clean and hold the edge.
Goes in what you own
Work boots, clogs, trainers, leather shoes. You are not buying new footwear to use it.
Sizing
Cut it to fit the shoes you already own.
Most insoles come in a size that is close to yours. This one you trim with scissors until it sits right in the shoe you already wear. It cuts clean, without tearing. Wrong size is the most common reason people send an insole back. We took the size out of the equation.
Four steps
It takes about a minute.
Vented end to end, so the heat goes somewhere. Ninety days to decide whether it stays in the shoe.
Side by side
Against the fourteen-dollar pair.
| Easegait | Generic foam | |
|---|---|---|
| Cushions on day one | yes | yes |
| Still cushions in month two | yes | no |
| Vented through the mid-foot | yes | no |
| Fits the exact shoe you own | yes | no |
| Cuts clean without fraying | yes | no |
| Costs under twenty dollars | no | yes |
The last row is real. We are the more expensive one, and if a month of cushioning is not worth the difference to you, the cheap pair is the right buy.
Questions
Questions we actually get.
Smaller than our smallest size, or in between two?
Smaller than our smallest size? Order the smallest one and trim to fit, following the size chart.
In between two sizes? Take the larger one and cut the toe end down. Every cell is closed on its own, so trimming does not open anything up.
Will they fit my shoes?
Yes — trimmed to fit the shoes you already own.
- No need to size up or buy bigger shoes
- Trimmable toe end for a precise fit
- Won't make your shoes feel tight
- Fits work boots, running shoes, nurse clogs and leather sneakers
Do my feet get hot in them?
The cells stand apart and the moulding is perforated the full length, so air moves through. That is the main practical difference from a sealed foam pad by hour six of a shift.
Will this help my foot condition?
No, and we will not tell you it does. This is a cushion, not a treatment. It will not diagnose, treat, or cure plantar fasciitis, arch pain, or any other condition. If you have a diagnosed condition, the person to ask is a podiatrist.
What it does do: cushion the step evenly, so a long day on your feet is less punishing.
How long do they last?
Longer than a flat foam pad, because latex cells recover better than polyurethane foam. We are not going to quote you a number of months, because we have not run a controlled wear test and any figure we gave you would be invented.
How does the pack discount work?
Pick one, two, three or four pairs before you add to cart, and the price per pair drops automatically as you go up. No code needed.
Shipping & delivery
Free, worldwide, on every order. Exact transit time depends on your country — you will see an estimate at checkout, and a tracking link goes out by email as soon as it ships.
What if they do not work for me?
Ninety days. Wear them, actually use them. If they are not earning their place in the shoe, email us and send them back — trimmed pairs included, since we are the ones telling you to cut them. We refund the purchase price.
