DEBE Alu Thermal Insoles — aluminium and virgin wool warmth for cold days
If your feet feel the cold the moment autumn arrives, these are the insoles I reach for first. The DEBE Alu combines a soft layer of virgin wool on top with a thin aluminium layer underneath. The wool cushions and insulates your foot, while the aluminium reflects your natural body heat back up — so instead of losing warmth into a cold sole, you keep it where you want it. It is a simple bit of clever engineering, and it makes a real difference on frosty mornings.
I recommend these to customers who spend time outdoors in winter — dog walkers, market traders, football parents on the touchline — as well as anyone who simply has permanently cold feet. They slip straight into boots, wellies, trainers and everyday shoes, and because they are trimmable you can get a neat fit in almost any pair.
Why choose the DEBE Alu thermal insoles?
- Genuine warmth, two ways: the virgin wool insulates and the aluminium layer reflects body heat back to your feet, tackling cold from both directions.
- Natural wool comfort: wool is soft underfoot, breathable and naturally regulates moisture, so your feet stay warm without feeling clammy.
- Odour control: because wool wicks moisture away, it helps keep that damp, cold-feet smell at bay through the day.
- Trim to fit: supplied in a size band you can cut down using your existing insole as a template — a precise fit in seconds.
- Fits almost anything: ideal for winter boots, wellies, walking shoes and trainers where you need an extra barrier against the cold ground.
How to use the DEBE Alu insoles
- Take out the existing insole from your shoe, if it is removable, and use it as a template.
- Lay it on top of the DEBE Alu, trace around it, then trim along the printed size lines with scissors.
- Place the insole into your shoe with the soft wool side facing up and the aluminium side down.
- Press it flat so it sits neatly against the footbed, and you are ready to go.
Haico’s tip: always cut a fraction outside the line first and test the fit — you can trim a little more, but you cannot add it back. For very cold conditions, pair these with a good wool-blend sock for the warmest possible result.

Frequently asked questions
Do these insoles make my shoes tighter?
They are slim, but they do take up a little room. If your shoes are already a snug fit, remove the original insole before fitting the DEBE Alu so the volume stays the same.
Can I trim them to my exact size?
Yes. They come in a size band with printed guide lines, so you can cut them down to match your shoe precisely.
Will they work in wellies and rubber boots?
Absolutely — this is where they shine. Rubber boots offer very little insulation from the ground, so the reflective aluminium layer is especially welcome.
