Who are Footactive?

What conditions can Footactive insoles help with?

Footactive insoles are designed to help with a range of common foot and lower body conditions including plantar fasciitis, heel pain, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, ball of foot pain, flat feet, fallen arches, over-pronation (inward rolling of the ankle), shin splints, and associated knee and lower back pain. Different insoles in the range target different conditions, so it's worth checking the product details to find the right one for your specific needs.

How do I choose the right Footactive insole?

The right insole depends on your condition and how you'll be using it. The Plantar Fasciitis insole is designed specifically for plantar fascia and heel pain relief.

The Medical insole is the firmest option for severe over-pronation and flat feet. The Workmate is built for people who spend all day on their feet on hard surfaces.
