The right footwear is only half the solution...

Footwear manufacturers design functional shoes to suit a vast array of foot types, yet ensuring the right basic type of shoe is worn is only half the solution. With so many muscles, bones, joints and ligaments making up the foot, plus the different shapes and sizes and different patterns of movement, no standard off-the-shelf shoe can possibly be right for all feet.

A custom insole personalises your footwear to match your foot. Standard insoles, in sports footwear, are flat or pre-moulded and offer little or no support, hence the fit is two dimensional. A Profeet insole provides a unique, personalised three dimensional fit.

• Moulded exactly to your foot, your custom insole will cushion impact, stabilise and guide your foot while, evenly distributing pressure.
• Close contact with the foot optimises neuromuscular feedback and proprioception.
• Profeet can create a wide range of insoles from flexible running to rigid skiing. There are different insoles for different sports.

Custom Insoles complete the footwear solution

Why Custom Insoles?

• Standard insoles delivered with sports shoes are very basic and made for a minimum price. They are usually made from thermo mouldable foam and do little more than provide a soft surface so that the shoes feel comfortable in store.


• The sole of the foot is the primary method of supporting and propelling the body, ensuring it is correctly supported is critical. A foot with poor support is like a building with poor foundations – the lack of support can lead to problems both in the foot but also higher up the body such as the knee, the hip, the back...


• Specialist insoles and especially Custom insoles also increase the contact between your foot and the insole and therefore more of the all important propriocepters that provide balance related information to the nerves are being used – improving balance and co-ordination.

Why Sports Specific Insoles?

• The foot's movement when running is very different to the foot's movement when striking a tennis ball and hence a running shoe differs from a tennis shoe.


• Sport specific insoles use specific shapes and materials to work with the foot during the relevant sport and the sport related movements.


• What ever you sport, Profeet custom insoles are engineered to improve balance and co-ordination, protecting the joints from impact and excessive wear and tear. At the same time they increase comfort and performance of your footwear. Replacing the manufacturers insole gives 360 degrees of fit around the feet inside the footwear.
