Our unique Sole Hero™ Footbeds are Podiatrist-designed and found in all our styles. Depending on the style, they are either ‘built-in’ or ‘adjustable’.
This style features adjustable footbeds to perfect the fit if needed.  

The Sole Hero™ Footbed featured in this style is designed with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel pain (including Plantar Fasciitis), arch pain, and forefoot pain 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 s 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.

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.

The materials we use in our unique moulded soles are selected to provide a great foundation to work with our Sole Hero™️ Support Footbeds.  

It’s the space between the ground and your foot is where our soles and footbeds do their job.

Together they lift, cradle, support and cushion your foot with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel pain, arch pain and forefoot pain. To put simply, our aim is for the shoe to help take the stress of standing and walking on hard surfaces, and the wearer feel their feet are walking on clouds. 

The secret to a tailored fit lies in FRANKIE4's Sole Saver™️ Pack. Our Sole Saver Pack™️ is included with most enclosed styles. It's all you need to have your feet feeling fab whether you are narrow, wide or a standard width.

Best of all it's super simple, all components are included in the box! To learn more, read here.
