Podiatrist-Designed Footbed

Our unique Sole Hero® Footbeds are Podiatrist-designed and found in all styles, except our LuxaLite® range. Depending on the style, they are either built-in or adjustable through our Sole Saver Pack® (complimentary). 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 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.

Customizable Fit Pack

This style includes our unique Sole Saver Pack®. This customizable fit pack gives you everything you need to personalize your pair. Whether your feet are wide, narrow, or somewhere in between, or even different from each other, this pack is designed to adapt.

Inside the box, you’ll find:

• Full-length footbeds: Designed with layered contouring to support your arch, cradle your heel, and cushion your forefoot. Ideal for a regular fit.
• Half-length footbeds: Perfect for wide feet, bunions, or extra toe room. These give you more space in the forefoot while still delivering soft arch support.
• Forefoot cushions: Add these under the full-length footbeds to secure a narrower, more snug fit.
  

With multiple combinations at your fingertips, you can mix and match footbeds and cushions to create the perfect fit for each foot, because no two feet are alike.

Goldilocks Heel Counter

We believe comfort should never come at the cost of support, or vice versa. That’s why we developed what we call the Goldilocks Heel Counter: a heel counter that strikes the perfect balance between structure and softness, not too firm, not too soft, just right.

Crafted from a modern, forgiving thermoplastic, our heel counters are designed to be firm enough to play their essential role, helping to hold your foot securely in place and promoting alignment with every step. At the same time, they are gentle and flexible enough to move with your foot, minimizing pressure and reducing the risk of rubbing or irritation against the skin.

What makes this feature even more intelligent is its ability to adapt to you over time. The thermoplastic gently responds to your body heat, softening slightly with wear. As you move, the material gradually moulds to your heel’s unique shape, providing a personalized fit that improves with each wear.

The result? A heel counter that offers the structure you need, the comfort you deserve, and the adaptability your feet will thank you for. It’s just one of the many thoughtful details we build into every pair.

Responsible Leather Sourcing

We’re members of the Leather Working Group (LWG), the world’s leading responsible leather organisation. Over 90% of the leathers used in our styles come from LWG Gold Rated tanneries, with the remainder from LWG Silver Rated tanneries.

This reduces the use of toxic or hazardous substances, reduces pollution, and aids with water management.
