What does INSOLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The inner layer of a shoe or boot that lies directly beneath the foot.
The insole forms the surface a foot actually rests on inside a shoe, distinct from the outsole, which touches the ground, and the midsole, which cushions between the two. A fixed insole is built into the shoe during manufacture, while a removable insole can be lifted out and replaced for extra warmth, cushioning, or arch support. People with foot pain or an awkward fit often buy a separate insole to insert over the factory one rather than replace the whole shoe. The word applies equally to a plain leather strip in an old boot and to a modern gel or foam pad sold in pharmacies.
How INSOLE is used
A common, everyday word used in footwear, retail, and medical contexts such as podiatry.
