Care & Lifespan of Spenco Sheets

Spenco sheets are built to last, but with the right care, you can extend their durability and get the best performance from your custom insoles, orthotics, or footwear modifications.

How Long Do Spenco Sheets Last?

The lifespan of Spenco sheets depends on how they’re used:

Daily wear: 6–12 months on average, depending on weight, activity level, and shoe type
Sports or high-impact use: 3–6 months, as running and jumping increase wear
Occasional or medical use: Can last over a year with proper care

👉 Thicker 4mm sheets generally last longer than 2mm sheets, as they provide more structure and resist compression.

How to Care for Spenco Sheets

Clean Regularly: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may break down the material.
Air Dry Only: Let them dry naturally — do not place near direct heat or tumble dry.
Rotate Pairs: If possible, rotate shoes/insoles to reduce daily wear.
Check for Compression: Replace when material becomes overly flat, hard, or loses cushioning.

Signs It’s Time to Replace

Loss of cushioning or springiness
Visible cracks, wear, or breakdown of the surface
Persistent odours even after cleaning
Foot discomfort returning after long-term use

Extending Lifespan

Pairing Spenco sheets with quality shoe covers or top layers, and ensuring proper fit inside footwear, can help maximise durability.

Summary

With the right care, Spenco sheets provide long-lasting comfort, shock absorption, and durability. Regular cleaning and timely replacement ensure your insoles and orthotics continue to perform at their best.
