Description
Footgel Military & Police Winter is designed for military personnel, police officers and professionals carrying out guard duty, marches and service in cold conditions and need to keep their feet warm and protected during long days.
Its structure combines a top layer of 100% merino wool, high-density foam and Termocrep-Gel® 3R cushioning technology to provide thermal insulation, absorb impact and improve comfort inside the boot.
Benefits

Scientific evidence
Footgel Military & Police Winter insoles are designed to cushion the loads of marches and long days in boots, and add merino wool to improve comfort in cold environments. Military studies show benefits of cushioning insoles during training, while research with merino wool has recorded less moisture sensation and greater comfort.
Fewer overuse injuries
Among more than 2,700 Royal Marines recruits, the incidence of lower-limb overuse injuries was 19% with shock-absorbing insoles versus 31.7% with standard insoles.

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.
- 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 Military & Police Winter?
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.
