Both Bear Soles & Honey Soles have a low arch profile. They're designed to help with things like posture and alignment. They also help with over-pronation which is the leading cause of plantar fasciitis. If you already have plantar fasciitis, these may be a corrective solution, but we recommend an evaluation with a podiatrist.
Honey Soles:
A great part about Honey Soles is that they're naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. The top cork layer wicks away sweat. But sometimes, they do get dirty. If you see your Honey Soles beginning to get dirty (especially if you like to walk around barefoot), simply remove them from your shoes and scrub them with a damp paper towel. You can also use a light application of hand soap to help in some cases. Honey Soles are very easy to clean.
Bear Soles:
If you see your Bear Soles beginning to get dirty, simply remove them from your shoes and treat the wool with a brush or comb. You can also use a spray bottle to put on a light application of water before brushing the fur. Bear Soles are very easy to clean.
