Transitioning to barefoot shoes should feel good not painful. Bridge Soles help take the edge off by reducing pressure and supporting your feet while they adapt, so you can move naturally and build strength at your own pace.

Why you’ll love them

Bridge Soles help take pressure off the areas that usually struggle most during the shift to natural footwear your forefoot, heels, calves and Achilles. They’re ideal if you’re dealing with forefoot pain like Morton’s neuroma, metatarsalgia or sesamoiditis, plantar fasciitis or general heel and arch discomfort, tight calves or Achilles sensitivity, or that “too much too soon” feeling when starting barefoot shoes.

Your transition tool, not a crutch

Think of Bridge Soles as a stepping stone. They support your feet while you rebuild strength, improve movement, and adapt to zero drop footwear without forcing your body to do it all at once. The goal isn’t to rely on them forever. It’s to help your feet get strong enough that you don’t need them.

How they work

A simple 3-part design that works with your body. The metatarsal pad helps reduce pressure through the forefoot and encourages better toe alignment. The flexible arch allows your foot to relax rather than being held rigid. The deep heel cup helps absorb impact and reduce strain through the heel. Together, they soften your landing, reduce overload, and keep your foot and lower leg more relaxed as they adapt and strengthen.

Best for

Anyone transitioning into barefoot or zero drop shoes, people on their feet all day who still want to move naturally, or those recovering from foot pain but working towards long-term strength.

Specifications

PR Performance Foam' - 100% PU (Polyurethane).
Insoles made of PU have been shown in research to take strain off of the Achilles tendon.

-Weight: 14.2g (S) – 22.7g (XL)
-Heel thickness = 10mm
-Met Pad thickness = 8mm
-Drop from heel to tip of insole = 8mm
-Drop from heel to Met Pad = 2mm
-Functional drop from heel to forefoot (weighted): 4mm
-Heel is softer and is designed to break down faster so the drop will slowly reduce to 1mm to 0mm of drop after approximately 100 hours of wear, where it will stay.

SIZING & FIT GUIDE

For M to XL, consider sizing down to a smaller size if you are using purely for a met pad or other applications where you don't want the met pad coming up under the met heads at all. However, the front half of the met pad is built to break down after some wear, so you'll likely be fine either way

Small ( W5-8) Purple / Small: 190mmx77mm

Medium ( W8.5+ / M7-9) Light Blue / Medium: 204mmx84mm

LG (M9.5-11.5) Blue / Large: 220mmx88mm

XL (M12-15) Teal / X-Large: 237mmx92mm

I'm really happy with these inner soles

I'm really happy with these inner soles. I popped them in my Altra Lone Peak 9+now that I'm well through the initial journey of tendinitis (6 months). I plan to use them for a few months to lessen the impact of my heel strike as my tendon starts adapting to more load. As always great service from BPrimal.

Using with Altra Escalante 4

Using with Altra Escalante 4 and needed to transition to full zero drop. Perfect amount of arch and mid foot support and heel cushioning. Great recommendation, thanks!

Really helped my Morton's Neuroma & making all barefoot shoes better

These have been amazing to help recover from a Morton's Neuroma. I had tried:
- podiatrist domed orthotic - very painful but slightly better than nothing for 6 wks
- removed the orthotic at about the 8wk mark, could feel the pain coming back
- tried the Bridge Soles and suddenly everything felt great - some support but not too much, also having it on both feet should help prevent future neuroma troubles. The slight ankle support is a gamechanger for me, also.

A great side bonus is that the soles feel great in some barefoot shoes that were 'too minimal' or uncomfortable in the sole, or actually a little too wide in the ankle. I think I will continue to use these in all my barefoot shoes. I've used them in New Balance running shoes, barefoot casual sneakers (Lems and others) and the Lems Chelsea boots and they all feel better. An excellent product.

insoles are most appropriate for those trying to approach barefoot minimal running. They dont impose very much control but do take the sting out of minimal shoes such as Trail Glove / Vapour Glove and allow a more natural gate, The cushioning they do have allows a natural feel to running or walking. It is possible to just use them without thinking. or conciously roll the forefoot from supination to pronation , exercising the foot while doing it. Other insoles I have now feel too intrusive

Excellent quality and great support for those just needing a little more support.

It is an unusual look, and as suggested it went under the original innersole, hard to say if they helped, nothing is worse, which is good, I needed a bit more cushioning to stop the pain from arthritis in my big toe, but I love to walk far

Products so far are terrific!. The accompanying information pamphlets are also very useful.I now understand my foot condition (Morton’s Neuroma), something my GP and second consulted Podiatrist did not achieve.Thanks again
