3 reasons to wear gel insoles at the beginning of the new school/work year
Back to school/work marks the end of the holidays for you and also for your feet. It’s a pleasant return, often nostalgic, to a daily routine centered around your work and leisure activities. As the new school year begins, your feet leave behind sandals, flip-flops, and sneakers, returning to the confinement of moccasins, ballerina shoes, or other types of footwear.
The new school year is also a great opportunity to make good resolutions: get more exercise, drive less... In the autumn, you’re on the move, on your feet, running around. Your feet are under a lot of stress, which can sometimes lead to pain.
Here are three reasons why slipping GEL insoles into your everyday shoes can help you start the new school year on the right foot, with comfort and cushioning.
GOING BACK TO WORK MEANS RETURNING TO CONFINED SHOES
Did you enjoy your holidays? So did your feet! Your toes loved living in the open air all summer, making sandals, flip-flops, and sneakers their best friends. But as the school year starts, it’s time to say goodbye to summer freedom and reunite with the confined environment of your work shoes. Margaux Denantes, product manager at Sidas, notes: "After strutting around all summer, your feet are now cramped and confined again. They don’t want to go back, and they make it known! Who hasn’t suffered from blisters, discomfort, or pain when taking their first steps in September in heels, ballerina shoes, moccasins, or even safety shoes?"
The common factor among all these shoes is that they’re often rigid, cramped, and very uncomfortable, especially when worn for eight hours straight. Our GEL insoles, thanks to their thinness, anatomical shape, and the stability they offer to the heel, are designed to address all the constraints your feet face, providing comfort and cushioning throughout your workday.
Our range is broad enough to ensure you’ll find the right fit for your job and your foot shape.

BACK TO WORK, YOU'RE ON YOUR FEET LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Daily life consists of many small tasks, performed almost automatically, without noticing the number of steps involved. Whether it’s shopping or commuting, you walk more than you realize, in addition to what you do at work. After all, few people stay seated all day at a desk. In autumn, you’ll be on your feet more than ever, especially with the mild temperatures that encourage walking.
Marie Maligorne, head of the SIDAS podiatry center, explains: “Our gel insoles are equipped with Dynamic Cushioning Gel Concept technology, a fine network of gel microbubbles, strategically distributed to match the most stressed areas of your foot.” The gel insoles compress gradually under your foot’s impact to provide optimal cushioning, particularly in natural pressure zones such as under the heel and metatarsals.
Since you're on your feet more than ever, our gel insoles provide real CUSHIONING!
YOUR GOOD RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW SCHOOL/WORK YEAR ARE MADE TO LAST
On holiday, we often focus on relaxation. The key is to de-stress and recharge. So, in September, the time for relaxing is replaced by that of making good resolutions. With renewed motivation, you’re ready to dive back into your weekly jogs, hit the gym, or sign up for those intense CrossFit classes.
However, this return to sports can be so abrupt that the first pains quickly appear. To give yourself the best chance of staying motivated, equipping yourself with the right insoles is necessary, if not essential. Marie Maligorne notes: “We see an increase in injuries by early October. They happen on average 3 weeks to 1 month after returning to work, because people either rush their return or use inadequate gear.” Margaux Denantes adds: “The best way to avoid risks, whether related to sports or not, is to have two complementary pairs of insoles: one for everyday life and one for your sports activities.”
This advice is especially relevant because these resolutions usually extend beyond just working out. In autumn, many of us pledge to live a greener lifestyle by walking instead of driving. Gel insoles help you maintain these good habits over time, thanks to their comfort, cushioning, and durability. Washable and antibacterial, our gel insoles have a memory foam effect, making them virtually indestructible.
Our gel insoles are RESILIENT & DURABLE, just like your good resolutions!
