Scientific evidence
Footgel Tennis insoles are designed to absorb impact and distribute the pressure generated during serves, sudden stops, and changes of direction. Studies show that tennis concentrates high loads on the forefoot and that greater cushioning in this area can significantly reduce peak pressures.
High forefoot pressure during the serve
A study with 10 competitive tennis players found that the first serve generated 15.2% more mean pressure, 12.8% more peak pressure and 20.2% more maximum force on the lateral forefoot of the front foot than the second serve.

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

How do I care for my Footgel Tennis insoles?
