FOOTGEL RUNNING Gel Insoles
Footgel Running is specially designed for runners who want to reduce the repeated impact of every stride and the strain in feet, knees and lower back during training and races.
Description
Footgel Running is specially designed for runners who want to reduce the repeated impact of every stride and the strain in feet, knees and lower back during training and races.
These running insoles combine Tecnion® technical microfibre, high-density foam and Termocrep-Gel® 3R technology to cushion the landing, spread pressure more evenly and return part of the energy during push-off.
Key benefits
- Pain relief: it reduces discomfort in feet, knees and lower back caused by the repeated impact of each stride.
- Helps reduce overuse strain: it reduces the load built up on feet and joints while running, helping to minimise discomfort and strain.
- Even pressure distribution: it spreads weight more evenly across the whole sole to keep it from concentrating on the main support areas.
- Greater energy return: it returns part of the energy generated at each step to aid propulsion and reduce muscle fatigue.
- 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: made under European medical device regulations. It protects and looks after your feet.
- Hypoallergenic and antibacterial: it prevents the growth of bacteria to keep the inside of the footwear fresher and 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 Running?
Our running 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 Running insoles are designed to absorb the repeated impact of every stride and distribute pressure more evenly. Studies in runners show that cushioning insoles can reduce pressure peaks and impact forces.
Up to 15.8% less acceleration in the tibia
In 16 recreational runners, using cushioned insoles reduced the vertical impact peak by 6.8%, the rate at which load was applied by 8.3% and the maximum acceleration transmitted to the tibia by 15.8%.

Less forefoot pressure
In a study with 23 athletes, adding specific forefoot cushioning significantly reduced peak pressure compared with a control insole and was rated more comfortable.
