Abstract: A pair of disposable absorbent shoe inserts includes first and second inserts, each including a porous upper layer which allows moisture to pass from the user's foot into an absorbent middle layer. A lower surface of the absorbent middle layer is attached to an impervious lower layer 40 which prevents moisture contact with the insole of the shoe. A lower surface of the impervious lower layer is attached to a release material layer 50 having a first pattern. A second shoe insert is similarly constructed, but provides a release material layer having a second pattern which is approximately a reverse image of the first pattern, and is non-overlaying to the first pattern. As a result, each insert acts as a release layer for the other insert. The layers of each insert are ultra thin and are bonded together to form a tapered edge around the circumference of the insert.
