Podiatrist-Designed Footbed

Our unique Sole Hero® Support Footbeds are Podiatrist-designed and found in all our styles, except our LuxaLite® range.

Depending on the style, they are either ‘built-in’ or ‘adjustable’. This style features our unique customizable fit pack to help support the foot when it is angled in a high heeled position. Our Sole Hero® High Heel Support Footbed features our unique, convex forefoot support curves to address the added pressure the forefoot takes when in a high heel.  

Wearing high-heeled shoes results in load shifting from the back of the foot towards the forefoot, this increased pressure in the forefoot can be the cause of foot pain and injury.   

The Sole Hero® High Heel Support Footbed featured in this style is designed with the aim to support and cushion the foot when angled in a high heel, through 3 key elements:

• Align: The Footbed contours were designed with the aim to help facilitate better alignment and movement through the foot and leg by supporting the heel and arch.
• Distribute: The support and cushion system in this footbed features layers of materials with differing softness. Intended to assist with foot cushioning and help spread the load and pressure under the foot- with the aim to reduce pain related to pressure areas.
• Cushion: The Sole Hero® Footbed is loaded with cushioning where it is needed. This is to aid in shock absorption to help take the stress off your foot and leg. To put simply, our aim is for the shoe (including this footbed) to take the stress, whilst helping reduce that stress on your foot and legs.
