• Reducing heel strike shock with cushioned pads
• Decreasing shoe wear

Key Features of the Insoles

• Comfortable in narrow, pointed toe, or high heeled shoes
• Cushioned design to reduce heel strike shock and lower wear on the outside heel of the shoe
• Added support with the forefoot and rearfoot wedges included
• Suitable for the treatment of lower limb injuries
• Extra support under the forefoot to reduce shock
• Suitable for wearers over 90kg (14 stone)

Why Choose Express Red Insoles?

Used by medical professionals around the globe for over 30 years, these Red Insoles use the tried and tested Formthotics arch profile, intended to provide the ample support the arch of the foot needs to ensure correct balance and lower limb alignment with the hard density design.

Are These Insoles Easy to Use?

Unlike some insoles, the Express Orthotics can simply be unpacked, slotted into shoes and used. The simple design allows them to conform to the unique shape of the foot by body heat and weight.

What is the Difference Between Red and Blue Express Orthotics?

While both insoles offer incredible comfort and support, the primary difference between the red and blue insoles is their density. The Hard Density Red Insoles intend to provide unrivalled bio-mechanical support, as well as high-performance shock absorption. These insoles are a good choice for wearers over 90kg (14 stone).

The Firm Density Blue Insoles improve the fit of shoes and the comfort of the foot while they are in use as they are a good fit for any style of shoe. They are ideal for first time insole buyers due to the moderate and comfortable EVA foam.

Should I Choose Full Length or 3/4 Length Insoles?

These Red Hard Density Insoles are available to choose from full length or 3/4 length. The 3/4 Length Insoles are appropriate if looking for versatile support no matter the shoe, even if they are narrow or pointed.

On the other hand, the Full Length Insoles provide maximum support and are particularly useful in sports or other activities.

Will I Need to Wear In My Express Orthotics?

Express Orthotics Insoles are designed to be ready to use so that the support needed is provided immediately. However, at times, a few days of wear may be necessary so the insoles adapt to your feet (and vice versa).

Please note that the insoles should not be worn if discomfort continues after two weeks.

How Long Do These Insoles Last?

Intended to provide long-lasting comfort and support, Express Orthotics Insoles should last at least as long as the shoes they are being used with. Most users will find that this is between nine and 12 months.

How Can I Look After My New Orthotics?

In order to extend the usability of these insoles, they should regularly be taken out of your shoes and wiped with a warm, damp cloth or sponge. Allow the insoles to dry before then putting them back in the shoes. Ensure the insoles are not soaked in water for any length of time and keep away from direct heat.

Do These Insoles Offer Forefoot Support?

The cushioned area of the insole under the forefoot acts as extra support during propulsion and also reduces the shock this part of the foot can experience. 

Are These Insoles Shock Absorbing?

When walking on hard ground, the shock of the impact can cause long-lasting damage to the ankles, knees and back. The thick cushion of the Express Orthotics insole is incorporated into the outside border of the heel strike area to reduce the shock of such an impact, instead absorbing it to reduce the damage.

Are These Insoles Suitable for Narrow or Pointed Toe Shoes?

The 3/4 length of these Red Express Insoles provides a cushioning effect for the wearer, even in narrow, pointed toe, or high heeled shoes.
