Scientific evidence
Footgel Works Winter insoles are designed to combine cushioning and thermal comfort during long workdays in cold environments. Studies in workers show that soft materials can reduce peak pressures under the foot, while merino wool helps maintain a greater sense of comfort in damp conditions.
Less pressure during long days on your feet
In a study designed specifically for long workdays on your feet, softer materials under the heel and forefoot were associated with lower pressures. The preferred insole showed 22% less overall peak pressure than the least favored one.

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 your footwear.
- 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 Works Winter insoles?
They are not machine washable. Because they are made with merino wool, a natural fiber, we recommend hand washing them 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.
