Footgel Basketball
Maximum-cushioning basketball insoles. They absorb the impact of jumps and landings to relieve strain on feet, knees and lower back and play more comfortably. They return part of the energy from each step to aid propulsion when jumping.
Description
Footgel Basketball is a maximum-cushioning insole designed especially for basketball players. It absorbs the impact of jumps and landings, relieves load on the joints and improves comfort during play.
Key benefits
- Pain relief: it reduces discomfort in feet, knees and lower back caused by repeated jumps and landings.
- Energy return: it returns part of the energy generated at each step to aid propulsion when jumping.
- Protection in jumps and landings: it offers greater cushioning capacity to absorb impact and protect feet and joints during play.
- Breathability and odour control: the Tecnion® technical microfibre helps keep the foot dry and controls moisture and bad odours inside the shoe.
- Class I medical device: manufactured in accordance with European medical device regulations. Protects and supports the well-being of your feet.
- Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: helps prevent bacterial proliferation to keep the inside of footwear more hygienic.
- Long-lasting eucalyptus scent: the gel contains aromatic eucalyptus essence to combat unpleasant odours.
Footgel technology
We make our insoles with a three-layer technology:
Technical microfibre + high-density foam + Termocrep-Gel® 3R
A world-unique formula tested by independent laboratories.
Biomechanical studies support its performance in helping to relieve pain in feet and joints:
Breathability


Materials & care
What are they made of?
- Technical microfibre: the layer in contact with your foot. Soft, breathable, antibacterial and environmentally friendly.
- High-density foam: an ultra-breathable material that allows constant airflow to remove moisture and keep your feet fresh and dry.
- Termocrep-Gel® 3R: exclusive medical-grade gel technology. Designed to absorb impact and relieve pain in feet and joints.
- Natural scents: the gel is infused with aromatic essences of orange blossom, aloe vera or eucalyptus to keep your footwear smelling fresh.
How to care for your Footgel Basketball?
Our basketball insoles can be machine washed at a maximum of 30 °C on a gentle cycle.
Important for drying. Always let the insoles air-dry. Do not use a dryer or place them on radiators or other direct heat sources, as excess heat can affect the structure and properties of the gel.
Scientific evidence
Footgel Basketball insoles are designed to absorb jumps and landings and to spread pressure better during sprints and changes of direction. Studies in basketball players show major increases in plantar load during these movements, which makes good cushioning capacity especially relevant.
Up to 90% more load in changes of direction
In 20 college basketball players, sprints and lay-ups produced increases of up to around 55% in plantar load compared with running. During 45° changes of direction, increases ranged from roughly 23% to 90% depending on the area of the foot.

Less impact with cushioned insoles
In a running study, cushioned insoles significantly reduced the impact peak, the loading rate and the acceleration transmitted to the tibia — three variables related to the absorption of impact against the ground.
