Footgel running insoles

Description

Footgel Running is specially designed for runners who want to reduce the repeated impact of every stride and the strain on their feet, knees and lower back during training and races.

These running insoles combine Tecnion® technical microfiber, high-density foam and Termocrep-Gel® 3R technology to cushion the landing, spread pressure more evenly and return part of the energy during push-off.

Benefits

• Helps ease pain: it reduces discomfort in feet, knees and lower back caused by the repeated impact of each stride.
• Helps reduce overuse strain: it reduces the load built up on feet and joints while running, helping to minimize discomfort and strain.
• Even pressure distribution: it spreads weight more evenly across the entire sole of the foot to keep it from concentrating on the main support areas.
• Greater energy return: it returns part of the energy generated at each step to aid propulsion and reduce muscle fatigue.
• Breathability and odor control: the Tecnion® technical microfiber helps keep feet dry and control moisture and odors inside the shoe.
• EU Class I medical device · CE marked: manufactured in compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745. It helps protect and care for your feet.
• Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: it helps inhibit bacterial growth to keep the inside of the footwear fresher and more hygienic.
• Long-lasting eucalyptus scent: the gel contains aromatic eucalyptus essence that helps keep odors at bay.

Available sizes

EU size is the product’s reference size. US sizes are approximate equivalents and vary by brand. Footgel insoles run slightly large and are trim-to-fit.

Scientific evidence

Footgel Running insoles are designed to cushion the repeated impacts of every stride and distribute pressure more evenly. Studies in runners show that cushioning insoles can reduce peak pressures and impact forces.

Up to 15.8% less acceleration in the tibia

In 16 recreational runners, using cushioned insoles reduced the vertical impact peak by 6.8%, the rate at which load was applied by 8.3% and the maximum acceleration transmitted to the tibia by 15.8%.

Less forefoot pressure

In a study with 23 athletes, adding specific forefoot cushioning significantly reduced peak pressure compared with a control insole and was rated more comfortable.

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 Running insoles?

Our running 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.
