Remove the original insole from the inside of your sneakers. Turn over the sneaker shield, made from soft silicone gel, and place the original sneaker insole inside it. If your sneaker doesn't have a removable insole, use your sneakers as a measuring guide. Place the sneaker on the sneaker shield and use a pen to trace the pattern.
Use a pen to trace the pattern of the original sneaker insole onto the sneaker shield. Make sure that you don't trace the line too exact. Leave an extra 1/2 inch just in case you make a wrong cut.
