A shoe insole system with a replaceable top cover over a durable base insole shell.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Designed so only the top sole needs replacing over time while the supportive base insole is meant to last indefinitely.

    look at Tread Labs...you'll have to replace the top soles over time but in theory the insole itself should last forever.
