Description
Footgel Pickleball is a high-cushioning insole developed with professional pickleball players from the United States.
It is designed to cushion the impact of stops, lateral movements and turns. It reduces strain on feet, knees and lower back during play and improves comfort inside the shoe.

How to care for your Footgel Pickleball?
Our pickleball 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 Pickleball insoles are designed to absorb the loads generated during lunges, stops and rapid changes of direction. Studies on this sport show how demanding these actions are for the lower limbs, while cushioning research demonstrates that soft materials can reduce pressure peaks in the forefoot.
Braking, lunging and rapid changes of direction
A systematic review of 15 pickleball studies identified falls, running, forward lunges and foot or ankle inversion among the main mechanisms associated with lower-limb injuries.

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