Introducing Tread Labs Refreshed: Like-New Arch Supports

Every product we make at Tread Labs is built to last. But sometimes, a pair of insoles or sandals doesn’t quite work out. Maybe the fit wasn’t right. Maybe the color wasn’t what someone expected. And thanks to our generous return policy, we see a lot of near-perfect returns — lightly used, barely worn, and still built to go the distance.

Rather than letting these high-quality products go to waste, we created Tread Labs Refreshed — our way of giving like-new insoles and sandals a second life. It’s better for the planet, easier on your wallet, and backed by the same support and performance standards we’re known for.

Tread Labs Refreshed is our refurbished product program — offering discounted insoles and sandals that are in near-new condition and ready to perform.

All Refreshed products go through a rigorous inspection process. Anything that shows signs of wear doesn’t make the cut. What’s left are premium-quality returns that are simply too good to throw away.

Whether you're dealing with foot pain, overpronation, or just need serious arch supports, Refreshed lets you experience Tread Labs comfort at a reduced price — without compromising on quality.

Our Refreshed Insoles deliver the same podiatrist-recommended support as our new models — ideal for those dealing with plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or chronic fatigue from long days on their feet.

Here’s what makes them a smart choice:

• Like-New Condition: These insoles were tried but barely used — if at all.

• Fresh Top Covers: Every pair is cleaned and fitted with brand new, never-worn top covers.

• Guaranteed for Life: Covered by our Million Mile Guarantee for lasting performance.

• Same 4 Arch Heights: Choose from low, medium, high, or extra high to get your perfect fit.

We design our recovery sandals to be durable, supportive, and stylish. But occasionally, a return comes in that’s still in excellent shape — maybe the size was off, or a bold color didn’t quite land.

Rather than discard these near-new sandals, we clean them up, inspect every detail, and offer them at a steep discount.

• Lightly Tried, Never Worn Down: No visible wear, no footbeds broken in — just great sandals looking for a second chance.

• Same Signature Arch Support: Built with the same orthopedic-grade footbeds you’d find in our new pairs.

Waste Not, Want Not: A more sustainable way to shop — with savings up to 40% off.

“We have a responsibility to make smart business decisions that have minimal impact on the planet,” says Tread Labs founder Mark Paigen. “When we saw how many returns were in near-perfect shape, it didn’t make sense to let them go to waste. Instead, we decided to give them a second life.”

Because we encourage customers to try multiple styles and arch heights to find their best fit, we see more returns than most brands. But that’s part of our commitment to helping people move better — and with Refreshed, we can do it more sustainably.
