Description
Marla Tropic — velvety-soft bamboo on breathable coconut fibre, for naturally fresh, barefoot-friendly comfort.
If you like to slip your shoes on without socks in the warmer months, the Marla Tropic is the insole I reach for. The top layer is a velvety-soft bamboo that feels lovely against bare skin, sitting on a base of breathable coconut fibres. Between them sits a cushioning latex interlayer that adds a gentle spring underfoot, so these are as comfortable as they are practical.
What makes this combination work so well is the way it manages moisture. The bamboo top layer is highly absorbent and keeps your feet dry, while the coconut-fibre underlayer helps keep the inside of your shoe fresh. Supplied as a full-length pair, they are a natural choice for anyone who wants comfort without the sweaty, stuffy feeling of synthetic soles.
Why choose Marla Tropic insoles?
- Velvety-soft bamboo top — feels wonderful against bare feet, making these ideal for wearing shoes without socks.
- Breathable coconut-fibre base — helps keep your shoes fresh by letting air move and moisture escape.
- Cushioning latex interlayer — adds a comfortable bit of bounce and support with every step.
- Highly absorbent and naturally fresh — bamboo draws moisture away so feet stay dry and comfortable.
- Made from natural materials — a lovely choice if you prefer natural fibres next to your skin.
How to use Marla Tropic insoles
- Remove any existing insoles from your shoes.
- Select your size, choosing the larger option if you are in between.
- Place the insole in with the soft bamboo surface facing up.
- Trim gently around the toe if required, using your old insole as a guide.
- Let them air now and then to keep them at their freshest.
Haico’s tip: these come into their own in summer shoes, loafers and canvas trainers worn barefoot. Give them a night to air after a hot day and they will feel like new again.

Frequently asked questions
Are these good for wearing without socks?
Yes — that is exactly what they are designed for. The soft bamboo top feels comfortable against bare feet, while the bamboo and coconut fibres work together to keep your feet dry and your shoes fresh.
Do they add much bulk to my shoe?
They are slim enough for most everyday footwear, with a thin cushioning latex layer for comfort rather than added height. If your shoes are a snug fit, remove the original insole first.
