Footgel Professional
Description
Footgel Professional is a high-cushioning insole designed for hospitality, healthcare and retail workers who spend long days standing or walking.
It combines Tecnion® technical microfibre with Termocrep-Gel® 3R cushioning technology to absorb the impact of every step, spread pressure more evenly and reduce the tiredness built up during the working day.
Benefits
- Less tiredness during the workday: it reduces the strain built up in feet and legs so you finish the day feeling less fatigued.
- Pain relief: it reduces discomfort in feet, knees and lower back caused by walking or standing for many hours.
- Termocrep-Gel® 3R cushioning: it absorbs the impact of each step and brings a greater sense of comfort throughout the day.
- EU Class I medical device · CE marked: it supports comfort and protection for the foot throughout the workday.
- Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: it prevents bacteria growth to help keep footwear fresher and more hygienic.
- Long-lasting orange blossom scent: the gel contains orange blossom essence, which fights bad odours.
Available sizes
| UK men’s | UK women’s | EU size (reference) | Approx. insole length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–5 | 2.5–5 | EU 35–38 | 24.0–25.8 cm (9.4–10.2 in) |
| 6–8.5 | 6–9 | EU 39–42 | 26.9–28.8 cm (10.6–11.3 in) |
| 9.5–13 | 10–13 | EU 43–47 | 29.3–31.0 cm (11.5–12.2 in) |
UK sizes are approximate and vary by brand, so the European size is the one Footgel manufactures to. Footgel insoles run slightly large, so if you are between two ranges choose the smaller one, and trim the insole to fit your footwear.
Scientific evidence
Footgel Professional insoles are designed to provide cushioning and better distribute pressure for professionals who spend many hours standing or walking. Studies in workers show that using soft materials can reduce peak pressures and help reduce the pain and discomfort associated with long working days.
Less pressure for people who work many hours standing
In a study aimed specifically at people who work standing for long periods, softer areas under the heel and forefoot reduced peak pressures. The preferred insole showed 22% less overall peak pressure than the least comfortable one.

How to care for your Footgel Professional?
Our work insoles can be machine washed at a maximum of 30 °C on a gentle cycle.
