FAQ
How do torturedSoles work?
torturedSoles non-slip / anti-slip cushion grip pads and Shoe Gel prevent irritation caused by uncomfortable shoes while keeping your back heel and foot from sliding around inside your shoe. Our technology was scientifically developed to give you the best grip and most reliable foot protector on the market.
Apply torturedSoles non-slip / anti-slip cushion grip pads to your heel, foot, or sole - anywhere on your foot or inside shoe where your shoes cause discomfort. You can also affix torturedSoles directly on hosiery. torturedSoles non-slip pads stay in place for up to six hours (usually longer on skin, under pantyhose, under socks) and up to months inside shoes.

When should I wear torturedSoles?
Many people wear torturedSoles with high heels or other uncomfortable shoes like ballerina and scrunch flats, boots, and men’s dress shoes anywhere from work to nights out, special events, and weddings.
We've also heard people are using them other places like on their thumbs when bowling, fingers when using gardening tools (under gloves) - anywhere a blister or irritation my occur.
Do not wear torturedSoles with ill-fitting shoes; our products are not intended to fix shoes that are too large or too small.
Can I wear torturedSoles more than once?
We do not recommend wearing torturedSoles non-slip / anti-slip cushion grip pads more than once for your safety, as the adhesive will be less effective each time you wear the product.
Add water to any torturedSoles product adhesive to make it stickier or sticky again.
Why are torturedSoles better than drugstore products?
We tried every drugstore product on the market and found that most foot pads or first aid solutions are bulky, fall off, look unattractive, and simply don’t work.
Our products were scientifically-developed with top-grade adhesives and polyester materials with a non-slip coating to remain in place for up to six hours (usually longer on skin, under socks, under pantyhose) and up to months inside shoes. Give them a try - you won’t believe how well they grip your heels! Our non-slip / anti slip cushion grip pads and Shoe Gel won’t damage hosiery or linings and usually make the fit of your shoe better.
Will torturedSoles damage my shoes?
No. We developed torturedSoles with adhesives that stick well to your skin and shoes. Our non-slip coating grips the inside of your shoes without the use of any adhesives. People are also using them on the inside of their shoes - the adhesive doesn't damage the lining and wipes clean with warm water.
