There is no insole in this shoe. The webbing wraps around much of the instep of your foot and there is a thin material along the inside bottom of the shoe. Very little padding in the foot, but I would expect it to dry quickly. The shoe is bulky for a "water shoe" and overall appears like most standard hiking shoes. If you are looking for a hiking shoe that has some quick drying features and a lot of support in the sole but can deal with very little cushion, this should work for you. I have wide and sensitive feet and found the shoe uncomfortable. The mesh felt like it would rub blisters and there really wasn't any arch support inside this shoe.
