Description

Footgel Ski is a high-cushioning insole designed to improve comfort inside ski boots.

Its four-layer structure combines merino wool, Outlast® thermoregulating technology, high-density foam and Termocrep-Gel® 3R to protect from the cold, absorb impact and distribute pressure more evenly under the foot.

Benefits

• Pain relief and prevention: it absorbs impact and reduces discomfort in feet, knees and lower back.
• Outlast® thermal regulation: it absorbs excess heat and releases it when the temperature drops to keep a more stable temperature inside the boot.
• Even pressure distribution: it spreads load more evenly across the whole sole and keeps it from concentrating on the main support areas.
• Protection from the cold: the merino wool helps retain warmth and keep the boot comfortably warm.
• Class I medical device: made in accordance with European medical device regulations. It protects and looks after your feet.
• Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: it prevents the growth of bacteria to keep the inside of the boot more hygienic.
• Long-lasting eucalyptus scent: the gel contains eucalyptus essence, which fights bad odours.

Scientific evidence

Footgel Ski insoles are designed to distribute pressure more evenly inside the boot and improve comfort during long days of skiing. Studies show that load distribution changes continuously through turns and that the insole's characteristics can significantly change how that pressure is spread under the foot.

The insole changes pressure distribution while skiing

Nine professional skiers made runs comparing different insoles. The insole selected by the researchers had a thin construction, a flat base and a semi-soft top layer, and significantly changed pressure distribution under the foot during turns.

Pressure changes in every phase of the turn

In 11 skiers performing giant slalom at race intensity, load distribution under the foot changed significantly depending on the plantar area and the phase of the turn, showing the high and variable demands the foot withstands inside the ski boot.

Merino wool: greater comfort against moisture

In 37 recruits on daily marches, a fabric with 50% merino wool was perceived as less damp and more comfortable than polypropylene. The study was carried out with socks and supports the properties of merino as a material in contact with the foot.

Materials & care

What are they made of?

• Merino wool: the layer in contact with the foot. Soft, warm and breathable, it helps retain heat and regulate moisture inside the footwear.
• Outlast®: a thermoregulating technology that absorbs and stores part of your body heat and releases it when the temperature drops, helping retain warmth inside the boot.
• High-density foam: an ultra-breathable material that allows constant airflow to remove moisture and keep your feet fresh and dry.
• Termocrep-Gel® 3R: exclusive medical-grade gel technology. Designed to absorb impact and relieve pain in feet and joints.
• Natural scents: the gel is infused with aromatic essences of orange blossom, aloe vera or eucalyptus to keep your footwear smelling fresh.

How to care for your Footgel Ski?

They are not machine washable. As they are made with merino wool, a natural fibre, we recommend washing them by hand in cold water to better preserve their properties.

Important for drying. Always let the insoles air-dry. Do not use a dryer or place them on radiators or other direct heat sources, as excess heat can affect the structure and properties of the gel.
