Description

Footgel Plantar Fasciitis is a high-cushioning insole designed to help relieve heel pain and discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis. Its structure includes:

Arch support (28 mm): helps reduce strain on the fascia.
U-shaped heel cup: It improves heel stability and cushioning.
Thick layer of Termocrep-Gel® 3R: 100% viscoelastic gel base that adapts to your stride.

Our plantar fasciitis insoles cushion impact, distribute the load evenly across the sole of the foot and help reduce pressure on weight-bearing areas.

Key benefits

Helps relieve pain: helps reduce discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis and eases strain on the feet, knees and lower back.
Arch support: provides support under the arch to help reduce the strain on the fascia that can cause pain at different times of the day.
Even pressure distribution: it spreads load more evenly across the entire sole of the foot to keep it from concentrating on the main support areas.
Lab-tested biomechanical performance: in laboratory tests, Footgel Plantar Fasciitis reduced impact by 24.3% and pressure on weight-bearing points by 16.5%, while improving pressure distribution by 23%.
EU Class I medical device · CE marked: manufactured in compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and CE marked. Protects and supports the well-being of your feet.
Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: helps inhibit bacterial growth to keep the inside of your shoes more hygienic.
Long-lasting eucalyptus scent: the gel contains aromatic eucalyptus essence that helps keep odors at bay.

Available sizes

EU size	Approx. US men’s	Approx. US women’s	Approx. insole length

Scientific evidence

The insoles Footgel Plantar Fasciitis combine high heel cushioning, arch support, and more even pressure distribution to help offload the plantar fascia. Studies in people with plantar fasciitis show improvements in pain with cushioning and silicone insoles, while biomechanical research shows that proper arch support can reduce strain on the fascia.

Less pain with silicone insoles

A clinical trial in patients with plantar fasciitis found significant improvements in pain, heel tenderness and function after one month using full-length silicone insoles.

Less pain with soft insoles

A clinical trial in adults with heel pain and plantar fasciitis found a significant reduction in pain intensity and in its interference with daily life when using insoles, including those made from soft materials.

Less strain on the plantar fascia

Biomechanical studies show that adequate arch support can reduce the strain carried by the plantar fascia under load. This effect depends on the design and the degree of support used.

Footgel technology

We make our insoles with three-layer technology:

Technical microfiber + high-density foam + Termocrep-Gel® 3R

An exclusive formula tested by independent laboratories.

Biomechanical studies support its performance in helping relieve foot and joint discomfort:

x2 More energy return. Returns energy to every step to help reduce muscle fatigue.
x3 More cushioning. Absorbs impact to help protect your feet and joints.
x4 Better pressure distribution. Spreads pressure evenly across the sole of your foot.

Breathability

Breathable technical gel: constant airflow with every step

Materials & care

What are they made of?

Technical microfiber: the layer in contact with your foot. Soft, breathable, antibacterial and environmentally friendly.
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 gel technology. Designed to absorb impact and help relieve foot and joint discomfort.
Natural scents: the gel is infused with aromatic essences of orange blossom, aloe vera or eucalyptus to keep your footwear smelling fresh.

How do I care for my Footgel Plantar Fasciitis insoles?

Our plantar fasciitis insoles can be machine washed at a maximum of 86 °F (30 °C) on a gentle cycle.

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.
