Which is better to increase the insole, half or full? The decision of whether to increase the insole by half or by all depends on your specific needs and comfort preferences.

Increasing the insole by half refers to adding half the thickness of the original insole. While increasing it by all means adding a new insole with the same thickness as the original one.

If you find that your current insole provides adequate cushioning and support. But if you require a slight adjustment for a better fit or improved comfort, increasing the insole by half could be a suitable option. This method allows for a more subtle modification without significantly altering the overall feel of the shoe.

On the other hand, if you require additional cushioning, or support, or have specific foot conditions that need extra attention. Increasing the insole by all (i.e., replacing the entire insole) might be more beneficial. This approach gives you the opportunity to choose a specialized insole that addresses your specific needs. Such as arch support or shock absorption.

Ultimately, it’s important to consider your comfort level. The fit of the shoe, any existing foot conditions, and personal preferences when deciding whether to increase the insole by half or by all.
