Product Description
8ease Sprouts are kids' insoles with soft arch support for school shoes, sneakers, sports shoes and casual loafers. They fit children from Kids UK 6 to Youth UK 1, roughly ages 2 to 8, who come home with tired feet or sore heels after school and play. A soft arch and a deep heel cup cradle the foot without forcing it into shape, so little feet still move, flex and strengthen naturally as they grow.
Key features
- Soft arch support with a deep heel cup and no rigid plastic shell
- Lightweight OrthoLite® PU foam cushioning for running and jumping
- Guided trim lines on the underside so one pair fits different shoes
- Anti-microbial top cover for PE classes and playgrounds
Size guide
| Size | Roughly ages | UK / India (child) | US (child) | EU | Foot length |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 2 to 4 | Kids 6 to 8 | 7 to 9 | 23 to 25 | 14.0 to 15.6 cm |
| M | 4 to 6 | Kids 9 to 11 | 10 to 12 | 26 to 29 | 16.5 to 18.2 cm |
| L | 6 to 8 | Youth 12 to 1 | 13 to 2 | 30 to 33 | 19.0 to 20.7 cm |
For the best fit, measure your child's foot length. Children grow at different speeds, so foot length and the UK size on their shoe are a better guide than age. Between sizes, take the larger and trim down. Colour: white. Sold as one pair. For children in UK 2 and above, see the insole size guide.

Most children spend 6–8 hours a day in rigid school shoes built over flat, thin foam insoles that offer zero arch support. When your child complains of tired feet or asks to be carried home, they're not being dramatic — their feet are absorbing every step on hard concrete with no cushioning underneath. 8ease Sprouts replace that useless cutout with something that actually works.
Sprouts are powered by Ortholite® PU foam — open-cell, active cushioning that springs back with every step rather than collapsing flat like ordinary foam. Your child gets the same technology trusted by 500+ global footwear brands including Nike, Clarks, and Timberland, in a lightweight, breathable insole designed for growing feet. From the first bell to the last run, the support stays consistent.
Unlike rigid orthotics with a hard plastic shell, Sprouts have no stiff base — just a soft arch support and a deep heel cup that gently cradle the foot without forcing it into any shape. This is important: growing feet need to move, flex, and strengthen on their own. They are designed for feet that tire quickly or roll inward, while natural foot development carries on as it should.
Every Sprouts insole has guided trim lines on the underside — just place it over your child's existing insole, trace the outline, and cut. Done. It fits school shoes, sneakers, sports shoes, and casual loafers. The anti-microbial top cover keeps things fresh through muddy playgrounds and PE classes. When it needs a clean, hand wash with mild soap, air dry, and it's ready for the next day.

Built on Science. Designed for Indian Feet.
Indian children's feet are wider at the forefoot than Western counterparts — and up to 1 in 3 Indian school children has flat feet. Sprouts are designed with this reality in mind, drawing on foot development research to get the support exactly right for growing Indian feet.
Ortholite® PU Foam
Open-cell PU foam technology used by 500+ global footwear brands — it delivers active cushioning that springs back with each step, never compresses flat, and breathes to keep feet cool through hours of active play.
Soft Arch Support + Deep Heel Cup
A soft arch and a deep heel cup that steady the heel and support the arch, without a rigid shell, so growing feet can still move and develop naturally.
Designed for Indian Foot Morphology
Research by CSIR-CLRI confirms Indian feet have a wider forefoot profile than the lasts most footwear is built on. Sprouts are calibrated for Indian children's foot shape and designed to fit inside Indian school shoe dimensions — not sized for a Western child and relabelled.
The Intelligent Middle Ground — Between a Flat Factory Insert and an Expensive Clinic Appointment.
Most insoles in India are reactive — a generic foam cutout that gets tossed into a shoe and forgotten. Most parents don't think about their child's foot health until the complaint is loud enough to warrant a doctor's visit. 8ease Sprouts exist in a different space: they're not a medical device, and they're not a useless placeholder — they're the daily, preventive layer of support that millions of Indian children are missing right now. The foot problems children develop early — flat feet, overpronation, heel pain — don't always resolve on their own, and rigid, correction-first approaches can restrict the very movement that helps feet grow strong. Sprouts take a different view: gentle support, no rigid shell, room to grow. We designed Sprouts to give urban children what barefoot walking on grass and earth used to give them — support from the ground up — in a product that fits inside the shoes they already own.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Does my child actually need an arch support insole?
Not every child does. Most young children have flat-looking feet, and for most of them the arch forms on its own by around age 6 to 8. An insole is worth considering when your child's feet tire quickly, they complain of aching feet or heels after school or play, or their shoes wear down fast on the inner edge. The insert inside most school shoes is a thin, flat sheet of foam; Sprouts replaces it with a soft arch and a deep heel cup. If your child has no discomfort and runs around happily, they may not need one.
My child has flat feet. Will Sprouts build an arch?
No insole can build an arch in a growing foot. The arch forms as your child's own foot muscles and ligaments develop. Sprouts is designed to support a flat-looking foot, not reshape it: the soft arch and deep heel cup steady the foot and help reduce tiredness and inward ankle roll through long days. There is no rigid shell, so the foot keeps flexing and working on every step. Read more in our guide to flat feet in children.
How do I check at home whether my child's flat feet need a doctor?
Ask your child to stand on tiptoe. If an arch appears, the flat foot is flexible, which is common and usually harmless in children. See a paediatrician if the arch stays flat on tiptoe, the foot feels stiff, only one foot is flat, or your child has pain, limps, or tires much faster than friends. Sprouts is designed for the flexible flat foot that gets tired. A stiff or painful foot needs a doctor's check first.
Can wearing arch support every day make my child's feet weak?
That worry is really about hard, rigid arch supports that hold the foot still. Sprouts is the opposite: soft, flexible OrthoLite® foam with no plastic shell, so the arch still bends and the small foot muscles keep working. Barefoot play at home, on grass or on sand is still good for growing feet. We suggest both: barefoot time at home, Sprouts in school shoes.
Which size does my child need?
Go by the UK size on your child's shoe, or measure their foot from heel to longest toe.
- S: Kids UK 6 to 8, EU 23 to 25.5, foot 14.5 to 16 cm, roughly ages 2 to 3
- M: Kids UK 9 to 11, EU 27 to 29, foot 17 to 18 cm, roughly ages 3 to 5
- L: Youth UK 12 to 1, EU 30.5 to 33, foot 19 to 20.5 cm, roughly ages 5 to 8
Children grow at different speeds, so trust the shoe size over the age. Between sizes, take the larger one and trim it down. If your child wears UK 2 or bigger, Sprouts will be too small; our insole size guide shows what fits older children.
Will Sprouts fit my child's school shoes?
Yes, in any shoe with a removable insole: lace-up and velcro school shoes, sports shoes, football boots and sneakers. Lift the old insole out from the heel end, lay it on Sprouts with the heels lined up, trace the toe and cut along the guide lines printed underneath, slightly outside the line first. Put Sprouts in printed fabric side up, heel cup at the back. If the shoe's insole is glued in, don't tear it out, as that can damage the lining; place Sprouts on top and trim it to the inside of the shoe.
Should we try them before trimming?
Yes. Let your child wear them untrimmed around the house first. An untrimmed pair can be returned within 15 days; a trimmed pair cannot.
Will Sprouts make the shoes tight? My child has wide feet.
Not if you take the factory insole out first; stacking two insoles is what makes a shoe feel tight. If the shoe already pinches across the toes before Sprouts goes in, the shoe itself is too narrow. Many Indian children have broad forefeet, so look for school shoes with a rounded, roomy toe area and about a thumb's width of space at the front. Our guide to choosing school shoes has a checklist.
My child complains of heel pain after playing. Can Sprouts help?
Heel aches after running about are common in active children. The deep heel cup in Sprouts cradles and cushions the heel, which makes hard floors and playgrounds more comfortable. Please see a paediatrician if the pain is sharp, causes limping, or does not settle after a few days of rest. Heel pain from sport is most common between about 8 and 14, when most children have outgrown Sprouts; from UK 3, our ComfortStep Heel Pads fit. More in our guide to heel pain in children.
Do I need one pair per shoe?
No. One trimmed pair moves between school shoes, sports shoes and weekend sneakers. If your child changes shoes during the day, for example school shoes in the morning and sports shoes for evening play, a second pair saves the daily swap.
How do I clean them, and how long do they last?
Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry. No washing machine, dryer or direct heat. Replace them about every six months, sooner if the heel cup looks flattened, or when your child moves up a shoe size.
What are Sprouts made of?
OrthoLite® open-cell PU foam, the cushioning used by more than 500 footwear brands worldwide, with an anti-microbial fabric top cover. There is no rigid plastic shell. If your child has sensitive skin, let them wear Sprouts for a few hours on the first day before full-time use.
Some kids' insoles cost ₹299. Why are Sprouts ₹799?
Most low-cost insoles are flat foam or gel that compresses within weeks. Sprouts uses OrthoLite® open-cell foam that springs back instead of flattening, adds a soft arch and a deep heel cup, and trims to move between every shoe your child owns. Delivery is free above ₹599, cash on delivery is available, and returns are easy within 15 days. Buying for yourself too? The Parent + Kid Duo pairs Sprouts with our Daily Relief Arch Insoles for ₹1,279.
