Swedish Plastic Insoles, Surplus

This is a sort of peculiar product that is probably quite foreign to most people. However, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out how these things work. A one-off lot.

Information

These green plastic insoles go in the shoe first, rough side down. Then you put in the proper insole – a felt insole, for example. The plastic “grill” will keep the felt insole away from the bare sole. Now there is a layer of air under your insole to keep it dry, and to insulate your feet from the cold creeping in from the ground and up through your footwear.

These are plastic. Although a little aged, these are unused and in excellent condition – not dilapidated as some older plastics tend to be.

Size info

Here is a table with the insole EU size, the actual heel-to-tip insole length in millimeters, US size, and UK size.

Swedish surplus

These are unused surplus items from the land of furniture store meatballs. Nowadays the construction of shoe soles is a bit more complex, but these old school plastic insoles work great especially with classic surplus boots.
