Illustrated Insoles by Remind. Art That Provides Support.

After years and years of skateboarding, snowboarding, and pain... Remind began as a collaboration of 30 plus years of research in bio-mechanics, bio-medicine, as a common sense solution for one simple goal: To live the dream less painfully.



Remind Insoles have succeeded in creating an aftermarket orthotic insole that has the quality and benefits of a medical, full custom, doctor prescribed orthotic, but made affordable to the average person. And in a bunch of fun and wacky designs reminiscent of R. Crumb, Rat Fink, Psychedelic 60s and Hippie Tie-dye.
