Product description

Elevated Clouds® Cork Insoles by Primal Soles are premium cork insoles designed to combine maximum foot comfort with minimum environmental impact. Developed using feedback from over 1,000 customers, they provide a soft, lightweight experience that mimics the feeling of walking on clouds. The insoles are made from regenerative Mediterranean cork and upcycled footwear waste, assembled by hand in Portugal. Naturally antibacterial and moisture-wicking, they promote hygiene and help regulate foot temperature. Their honeycomb cork structure ensures superior shock absorption and cushioning, while remaining fully recyclable. Customers can return their used insoles to be ground down and re-integrated into new ones, supporting a closed-loop system that reduces waste and carbon footprint. Elevated Clouds® are part of Primal Soles’ commitment to combining responsible material science with exceptional wearability—ideal for people who walk or stand for long periods and care about environmental impact.
