Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort (1 pair)

Are Odour Eater Insoles Right for Your Feet?

Foot odour is something many people deal with quietly — and often feel embarrassed about. The truth is, it's incredibly common. Sweat glands in the feet are among the most active in the body, and when moisture becomes trapped inside shoes, bacteria thrive and produce the unpleasant smell most of us recognise. Odour eater insoles like the Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort (1 pair) are designed to tackle this problem at the source, absorbing moisture and neutralising odour throughout the day. If you're looking for a simple, affordable solution, you'll find this and other foot care products in our foot care collection.

At just £3.99 for a pair, Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort insoles offer a practical, everyday option for anyone who spends long hours on their feet — whether that's at work, at the gym, or simply going about daily life. They're trimmed to fit most shoe sizes and sit discreetly inside your footwear, so nobody needs to know they're there.

How Do Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort Insoles Work?

The science behind these insoles is straightforward. They combine two well-established odour-fighting ingredients — activated charcoal and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — with a cushioned foam layer for added comfort.

• Activated charcoal acts as an adsorbent, trapping odour molecules and volatile compounds produced by bacteria on the skin surface.
• Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) neutralises acidic odour compounds, helping to reduce the characteristic smell associated with sweaty feet.
• Moisture-wicking layer draws sweat away from the skin, reducing the damp environment that bacteria need to multiply.
• Cushioned foam base provides underfoot support, reducing fatigue during prolonged standing or walking.

Together, these components address both the cause and the symptom — not just masking smell, but actively reducing the conditions that allow it to develop.

Who Should Consider Using These Insoles?

These insoles are suitable for most adults who experience foot odour or discomfort from sweaty feet. They're particularly useful if you wear enclosed shoes for long periods, exercise regularly, or notice that standard insoles simply aren't doing enough. They're not a medical treatment, but they can make a meaningful difference to daily comfort and confidence.

• Adults with mild to moderate foot odour
• People who are on their feet all day at work
• Those who exercise frequently and experience sweaty feet
• Anyone looking for extra cushioning alongside odour control

If you also experience excessive sweating more broadly — not just on your feet — it may be worth exploring our excessive sweating treatments for additional support.

Are These Insoles Suitable for Sensitive Skin or Specific Conditions?

Most people tolerate odour eater insoles without any issues. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin or a history of contact dermatitis, it's worth monitoring for any redness or irritation when you first start using them. Discontinue use if you notice any skin reaction and speak to your pharmacist. These insoles are not a treatment for fungal infections such as athlete's foot — if you suspect a fungal infection, you should seek appropriate antifungal treatment alongside using the insoles.

Store the insoles in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve their odour-absorbing properties. Avoid exposing them to prolonged moisture before placing them in your shoes.

This product is a non-medicated device. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Are Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort Insoles and What Are They Used For?

Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort insoles are non-medicated, deodorising shoe insoles designed to reduce foot odour and absorb excess moisture. They are placed inside your shoes and work passively throughout the day — no sprays, no powders, no fuss. The insoles are intended for adults who experience foot odour linked to sweating, and they also provide a layer of cushioning to improve comfort during prolonged wear.

Foot odour — clinically referred to as bromodosis — is primarily caused by bacteria that break down sweat on the skin surface, producing volatile fatty acids with a characteristic unpleasant smell. These insoles help interrupt that process by reducing the moisture available to bacteria and neutralising the odour compounds they produce. They are not a treatment for any underlying medical condition, including hyperhidrosis or fungal infections such as tinea pedis (athlete's foot).

What Do You Need to Know Before Using Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort Insoles?

These insoles are generally safe for most adults. However, there are a few things worth being aware of before you start using them.

Do not use these insoles if:

• You have a known allergy to any of the materials used in the insole (including activated charcoal or foam components)
• You have open wounds, ulcers, or broken skin on the soles of your feet
• You have been advised by a healthcare professional to use specific orthopaedic insoles — these should not be replaced without guidance
• You are a child — check manufacturer guidance for age suitability before use in younger users

Warnings and precautions:

• Discontinue use immediately if you notice redness, itching, or a rash on the soles of your feet
• These insoles do not treat athlete's foot or other fungal infections — visit our athlete's foot and fungal infections section if you need antifungal treatment
• Do not use as a substitute for good foot hygiene — wash feet daily with soap and water and dry thoroughly, especially between the toes
• People with diabetes should take particular care with any foot product and consult their GP or podiatrist if in doubt

Known drug or product interactions:

• No known interactions with medicines
• Avoid using alongside strongly scented insoles or foot products simultaneously, as this may reduce effectiveness

How Should You Use Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort Insoles?

Using these insoles correctly takes less than a minute. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Remove the existing insole from your shoe, if it is removable.
2. Place the Odor-Eaters insole against the existing insole or the shoe template to gauge the correct size.
3. Using the size guide printed on the back of the insole, trim along the marked line with scissors to fit your shoe size.
4. Place the trimmed insole inside your shoe with the cushioned side facing upward (towards your foot).
5. Put your shoe on as normal and check for comfort — re-trim if necessary.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort Insoles?

Side effects from non-medicated insoles are uncommon, but they can occur — particularly in people with sensitive skin. Being aware of what to look out for means you can act quickly if something doesn't feel right.

Common side effects (may affect some users):

• Mild skin irritation or redness on the sole of the foot
• Slight discomfort during the initial break-in period

Less common side effects (rare):

• Allergic contact dermatitis — itching, blistering, or a rash on the foot
• Pressure discomfort if the insole is not trimmed correctly for your shoe

If you experience any allergic reaction, remove the insoles immediately and wash your feet with mild soap and water. Seek advice from your pharmacist or GP if symptoms persist. For broader skin concerns, our skin care collection includes products that may help soothe mild irritation.

How Should You Store Odor-Eaters Ultra Comfort Insoles?

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep away from sources of moisture before use — damp storage can reduce the effectiveness of the activated charcoal
• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not store in a sealed plastic bag for extended periods, as this may trap moisture
• Once in use, allow insoles to air out overnight where possible to extend their effective lifespan
