Short answer: it depends on your feet — but here is what really drives the price, with no fine print.
Off-the-shelf insoles you can pick off a rack are cheap, usually somewhere between ₹90 and ₹1,400, but they come in a few generic shapes and only cushion. True custom orthopaedic insoles cost more because they are made to your foot after a biomechanical assessment of your arches, heel alignment and gait. We do not quote a single fixed price for custom insoles, because an honest figure depends on your materials and the correction you need. What we can tell you up front: our online fitting starts at ₹499 and is fully credited towards your insole order, and we confirm the exact price for your pair after the fitting — with no obligation to buy.
Typical price range in India
As a rough market guide, custom orthopaedic insoles in India usually sit somewhere around ₹2,000–₹8,000 a pair, with premium clinical builds higher — against roughly ₹90–₹1,400 for a generic rack insole. We don't advertise a flat price, because the right figure depends on your materials and the correction you need. But a well-made pair commonly lasts one to five years or more, so the cost-per-year often works out lower than repeatedly replacing cheap insoles. You get your exact, confirmed price after the fitting — with no obligation.
What changes the price
A custom pair is priced around a handful of honest factors, not a flat sticker price:
- Materials. Firmer materials for correction cost differently from softer cushioning. Diabetic-safe materials for sensitive or neuropathic feet can also change the figure.
- Complexity of correction. A straightforward arch support is simpler than insoles that have to offload pressure points or correct a more involved gait issue.
- Single vs multiple pairs. Ordering more than one pair — for instance one for work shoes and one for trainers — changes the overall cost.
- In-shop vs online. In Pune your first fitting is free. Online, the ₹499 fitting is fully credited to your insole order, so it is not an extra charge once you buy.
Because of all this, we give you a clear, confirmed price after the fitting rather than a guess beforehand. That way the number you hear is the number for your feet.
Custom vs off-the-shelf — is it worth it?
Off-the-shelf insoles are fine as a cheap cushion, but they are not shaped to you. Custom insoles are built to your specific arch height, heel alignment and gait, so they spread weight evenly, support the arch and reduce the strain that causes pain — rather than just padding the shoe. That difference matters most when there is a real reason behind the ache.
If you have flat feet or fallen arches, generic insoles rarely give the structured support overpronation needs. With plantar fasciitis and heel pain, a made-to-measure insole can offload the heel and support the arch in a way a rack insole cannot. Because they are built properly for your foot, a good custom pair also holds its support longer before it is due for replacement — so the higher up-front cost is spread over a meaningful working life.
How to get a price for your feet
The only way to get an honest figure is to have your feet assessed. There are two ways, and both end with a confirmed price and no obligation:
- Free first fitting in Pune. Walk in to our Budhwar Peth shop and we assess and fit you hands-on. Your first fitting is free, and we confirm the exact price for your pair on the spot.
- Online fitting, ₹499 credited. Anywhere else in India, our online fitting assesses your feet over video and from a few photos. The ₹499 is fully credited towards your insole order, and we post your custom insoles to your door.
We are a specialist fitting shop, not a medical clinic — for diagnosis of a medical condition, please also see your doctor. After your fitting you get a clear, confirmed price before you decide anything, and we follow up once you start wearing your insoles to make sure the fit feels right.
Frequently asked questions
How much do custom insoles cost in India?
It depends on your feet and the materials. Off-the-shelf insoles are cheap (roughly ₹90–₹1,400) but generic. True custom orthopaedic insoles, made to your foot after a biomechanical assessment, cost more. Our online fitting starts at ₹499 and is fully credited towards your insole order, and we confirm the exact price for your pair after the fitting — with no obligation.
Why do custom insoles cost more than off-the-shelf insoles?
Off-the-shelf insoles are mass-made in a few generic shapes. Custom insoles are built to your arch height, heel alignment and gait, with materials chosen for your needs, after a proper assessment. You pay for the assessment, the made-to-measure build and the support that actually corrects rather than just cushions.
Is the ₹499 online fitting an extra cost or is it credited?
It is fully credited towards your insole order. The ₹499 covers the online fitting and assessment, and that amount comes straight off the price of the insoles you order — so when you buy, the fitting effectively costs nothing.
Do prices differ for diabetic insoles?
They can. Diabetic feet often need softer, diabetic-safe materials and offloading to protect sensitive or neuropathic areas, which can change the materials and the price. We confirm the exact figure for your pair after the fitting.
How long do custom insoles last?
With everyday wear, a well-made pair typically lasts a good while before the support softens and they are due for replacement, depending on your weight, activity and how often you wear them. We follow up after you start wearing them to make sure the fit feels right.
