Our insoles are designed in Bend, Oregon & handcrafted in Portugal.
Cork is 100 percent sustainable & 100 percent awesome. We use cork in place of petroleum-based plastic and EVA that many brands use. For more information about cork, you can read about Tread & Butter’s commitment to sustainability.
Our insoles are designed for performance. Meaning, our insoles are perfect for running, hiking, skiing, etc. And equally great for standing, working on your feet, retail, waiting tables, commuting, etc.
Tread & Butter insoles come in whole sizes for women and men. If you typically wear a half size shoe, we recommend rounding up to the nearest size.
Please consider the type of footwear you will be using with your Tread & Butter insoles. Performance & athletic footwear (running, hiking, sneakers, etc) generally fit slightly bigger and can accommodate our insoles. Some dress and casual shoes (slip ons, loafers, boots, etc) tend to fit a bit smaller and might be difficult to fit with our insoles, or any other aftermarket insole. Questions: please contact us.
Shorts answer: yes. In most performance footwear like running shoes, hiking boots and sneakers, our insoles are plug-and-play - it probably won't be necessary to do any trimming. If you must, the key is to use a sharp pair of scissors and trim around the toe area only. We suggest you trim a little bit at a time and try them on for size (obviously cutting too much is not good). You can trim a little more if necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to walk you through the simple process.

Cork is 100 percent sustainable. More specifically, cork is all natural, a carbon sink, and in our case, we use cork in our insoles where many competitive brands use petroleum-based plastic. Cork also helps sustain the beautiful 'montado' ecosystem in Portugal. For more information about cork, please see our Sustainability page.
We are in the commitment phase of Climate Neutral Certified, a carbon offsetting certification program. We are set to be certified by April 2020 - our entire operation will be offset. For more information, please visit climateneutral.org
