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.

How to care for your Footgel Military & Police?
The Footgel Military & Police 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 Military & Police insoles are designed to reduce the overload generated during marches, guard duty and long days in boots. Studies carried out in military personnel and during load carriage show that cushioning insoles can reduce plantar pressure and, in certain research, have also been associated with a lower incidence of overuse injuries.
Fewer overuse injuries
A study based on the medical records of more than 2,700 Royal Marines recruits compared the use of standard insoles with cushioning insoles during military training. Those who used the cushioning insoles had fewer lower-limb overuse injuries: 19% versus 31.7%.
Less plantar pressure when walking with a load
In a laboratory study with 20 healthy adults, an insole made from a soft, uniform material reduced pressure under the foot when walking, both unloaded and while carrying a backpack equal to 10% of body weight.
Relief for aching feet
Made in Spain
In-house design and production at our factories in Aspe, Alicante.
European Medical Certification
A European manufacturer specialising in gel insoles that are CE marked as EU Class I medical devices.
Proven efficacy
Backed by biomechanical studies from independent laboratories.
The formula against pain
A biomechanical analysis by the Umana laboratory supports the effectiveness of Footgel®
against a conventional foam insole.
