My Personal Experience
As someone who has been wearing Vans shoes for years, I can attest to the benefits of taking out the insoles.

I prefer to replace the insoles with custom orthotics for even better support and cushioning.
How to Take Out Vans Insoles
Removing the insoles of Vans shoes is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps:
- Take off the shoes and turn them over so that the soles are facing up.
- Locate the heel of the shoe and gently pull up on the insole to loosen it from the glue.
- Once the insole is loose, use your fingers to carefully pull it out of the shoe.
- If the insoles are glued down too firmly, use a hairdryer to heat up the glue and make it easier to remove.
It’s important to note that not all Vans shoes have removable insoles. If you’re not sure whether your shoes do, check the label or contact Vans customer service for assistance.
