Original Dual Medium red/blue
Formthotics Original Dual Medium are full-length orthopaedic insoles made of dual-layer Formax foam. A softer top layer on a medium-density base provides a comfortable feel. The insoles combine cushioning and padding with stability and control. The standard shape, with the proven arch support and deep heel cup, ensures firm, flexible support for foot function. These insoles are particularly suitable for running shoes and for patients whose feet are exposed to high stress during sport.

Why do feet need support?
You might think that, after thousands of years, humans would have perfected walking upright by now. So why do so many of us need medical insoles to support our feet and give them stability?

Our feet were made for soft ground. However, for around 200 years we have mainly walked and run on hard asphalt, stone, wood or concrete floors, and our feet are forced to flatten and twist with every step.

Many shoes don't support the feet. High heels, narrow toes, shoes that offer no support or don't fit properly cause unnecessary discomfort. The insoles in cheap shoes are flat and provide no meaningful support for our feet.
