At DH Medical Material, we have chosen to expand our catalog in order to meet the needs of the current market. Among our new additions, you will find up to  7 gel insole templates designed for the workplace and sports. These new additions, manufactured by the Alicante-based company Footgel®, have been carefully designed, developed, and tested to ensure high performance and optimal padding in every situation.

In this article, we will explore the main characteristics of these cushioning insoles for athletes and workers and delve into the benefits offered by each of their versions.

A milestone in the field of cushioning

Footgel® products are classified as a medical device according to Regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745, so their effectiveness is fully guaranteed. They are designed and manufactured in Spain and have the V-Label seal, which means they are completely vegan as they do not include ingredients of animal origin among their components.

The gel cushioning insoles are characterized by their triple-layer structure, which gives them superior efficiency compared to other similar models available in the current market. This unique composition consists of:

• A top layer of antibacterial microfiber. Light, breathable and flexible, it allows to cushion the foot and prevent the proliferation of bacteria that cause bad odor and material deterioration, ensuring high performance for a longer time.
• A middle layer of high-density foam that cushions the foot, contributes to its ventilation, absorbs impacts, provides stability and superior structural support. In this way, it reduces fatigue when walking and protects the bones and joints from shocks during walking.
• A layer of Termocrep-Gel®, an exclusive gel that has a high degree of recovery and elasticity and ensures proportional absorption of impacts. It is breathable and its composition usually includes some aromatic essence to give it a perfume.

The result of this exclusive combination is an insole that absorbs up to three times more impact, has twice the rebound rate and offers incomparable plantar uniformity.

Outdoor gel insoles, the perfect allies for outdoor sports

The insoles for athletes Outdoor have an improved composition specifically designed for outdoor physical activities. Perfumed with a pleasant eucalyptus aroma, it provides an effective solution that not only cushions the foot and provides additional energy and bounce, but it also helps to control odor and moisture in the area.

When used, the impact on sensitive areas such as the feet, knees, or spine is significantly reduced, promoting the user's well-being in all kinds of outdoor activities. On the other hand, the layer of Termocrep-Gel® increases the energy return by 50%, thus increasing resistance and performance throughout the journey.

Footgel® Military, specifically designed for extreme terrain

The gel insoles Military have been developed to meet the needs of the most demanding professions, such as the military or the police. Their three-layer structure is adapted to provide superior cushioning in extreme terrain, ensuring durable padding and reducing muscle fatigue even on long days.

Their composition allows breathing and controlling the moisture generated in the foot and its eucalyptus perfume helps to keep the area dry, fresh and free of bad odors. On the other hand, they aid in energy return to increase resistance and protect critical areas—such as the knees, feet, and lumbar area—from injuries derived from extreme physical effort.

Footgel® Football, cushioning for football lovers

The gel insoles Football are ideal for those athletes who require effective cushioning and rapid recovery during physical exercise. Thanks to their adapted composition, they provide an optimal cushioning experience while contributing to the foot's perspiration, keeping the area free from sweat during the 90-minute match.

These gel insoles for athletes also have a thin, ergonomic shape that fully molds to the boot, which guarantees high comfort without interfering with the sensitivity of touch. In addition, their structure has been  reinforced to prevent damage to key points and prevent the onset of plantar fasciitis, one of the most common conditions among football players.

Footgel® Padel insoles for athletes, unmatched comfort on the court

This model of insoles, as its name indicates, is intended for the field of paddle tennis. It is perfumed with a eucalyptus aroma to keep the foot free from bad odors and, as was the case with the other variants, it contributes to the foot's perspiration to keep it fresh and dry at all times.

The peculiarity of the  Padel model is that it has been developed alongside participants of the World Padel Tour, so its effectiveness and performance have been rigorously tested by professionals in the sector. This has allowed the design to be optimized to cushion those areas most susceptible to injury during this sport, such as the ankles, knees, and hips, offering a reliable solution to a recurring problem in the field.

Works gel insoles, exceptional comfort in the workplace

The work gel insoles Works have a pleasant orange perfume that neutralizes odors caused by sweat, so they are ideal for prolonged use. Their exclusive composition helps to reduce fatigue in the leg area both in motion and in a static position, making them very convenient for jobs that are carried out standing up.

Like the other models, the Works work insoles cushion the foot to minimize impacts on the joints and muscles, providing lasting and reliable relief. They also promote a 50% energy return, ensuring superior performance for the worker over prolonged periods of time. All this is accompanied by an exceptional ability to breathe, which allows the feet to remain sweat-free at all times.

Footgel® Works Plus, a step further for professional footwear

Similar to the previous gel insoles, the Works Plus provide a solution tailored to high-demand work environments. Their shape fully molds to the work footwear without affecting the user's stability and their composition ensures up to 60% energy return, which translates into exceptionally reduced fatigue. They also absorb impacts and cushion critical areas of the body and, like the standard version, have an orange aroma that neutralizes bad odors that may arise during their use.

Footgel® Multisport, cushioning for all-terrain athletes

This last model is ideal for those more versatile athletes. The cushioning insoles for athletes Multisport are extremely versatile because they have multiple features designed to adapt to all kinds of activities. Their cushioning system allows reducing the impact in a wide range of body areas—from the feet and knees to the back area—, so they can be used safely in a myriad of physical exercises. They are suitable for outdoor running, gym routines, and outdoor and indoor sports.

Conclusion

As we have seen, there is a Footgel® insole for every type of user, worker, or athlete. Understanding which one best adapts to the needs of each individual is essential to guarantee optimal use and cushioning adjusted to the demands of each lifestyle, so it is important that, before acquiring some, you value your needs in depth.
