Our unique Sole Hero™ Support Footbeds are Podiatrist designed and found in all our styles.

Depending on the style, they are either ‘built-in’ or ‘adjustable’. This style features a ‘built in’ Sole Hero™ Support Footbed designed with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel pain (including Plantar Fasciitis, arch pain, and forefoot pain through 3 key elements; 

Align - Distribute - Cushion

1) Align: The footbed contours help facilitate normal alignment and movement through the foot and leg. 

2) Distribute: The support and cushion system in this footbed features layers of materials with differing softness. This optimises foot cushioning and helps spread the load & pressure under the foot.

3) Cushion: The Sole Hero™ Support Footbed is loaded with cushioning where it is needed. This is to aid in shock absorption to help take stress off your foot and leg.

This style features our unique FRANKIE4 Triple Layer Support & Cushion System. 

With body mechanics in mind, the 3 layers are strategically designed to bias support and cushioning where it is needed.

Our heel counters are made from a modern and forgiving thermoplastic, and are designed to be firm enough to assist in the role of holding the foot within the shoe, and forgiving enough to accommodate the heels needed motion while minimising friction and pressure on the skin.

This style comes with our registered design Gel Forefoot Cushions - provided for a cushioned, customisable fit.

Before applying the gel cushions, test the position within the shoe to confirm your preferred fit. Should you plan to continue to use the gel cushion, remove the back film and apply.

Once the gel cushions have been stuck down they do not peel off easily, this is to ensure they stay in place. If they have been stuck into the shoes please note it may impact our Returns Policy.

Gel cushions are only to be used with the styles they come with. It is not recommended to use the gel cushions with any other shoe styles.
