Winter boots are not simply regular shoes with thicker insulation.For footwear brands serving Canada, these conditions create a specific insole-development challenge: an insole that works well in a lightweight fall shoe may not be appropriate inside an insulated winter boot.
This is particularly important for footwear brands developing products for different markets. A walking shoe, safety shoe, hiking boot and everyday sneaker may all require different insole geometry even when they are sold to similar age groups.
A good EVA insole for work boots is not simply a soft insole. Work footwear places different demands on an insole because the wearer may spend many hours standing or walking, while the boot itself is often heavier and more rigid than casual footwear.
