Scientific evidence
Footgel Works Plus insoles provide a high level of comfort and cushioning, while distributing pressure more evenly throughout the workday. Studies in people who spend many hours standing show that softer materials under the heel and forefoot can considerably reduce peak pressures and increase the contact area, two areas where Footgel Works Plus provides highly effective cushioning thanks to its design and Termocrep-Gel® 3R technology.
More cushioned materials, less pressure
In a study of insoles for people who stand for many hours, using softer materials under the heel and forefoot was associated with significant reductions in peak pressure in these regions.

Up to 22% less overall peak pressure
The best-rated insole in the same study showed 22% less peak pressure across the whole foot and increased midfoot contact area by 15% compared with the least comfortable one, showing a different distribution of loads under the foot.
