A cut-out relieves the painful the painful and pressure-sensitive heel area with every step. At the same time, the tendons on the bottom of the foot are relaxed by a custom fan design.

Specialist advice

ErgoPad redux heel is only available from medical retailers. The orthotist will measure your feet and then use the orthotic blank to prepare a customized foot orthosis for you. It is available either for normal shoes or for wider comfort shoes. This foot orthosis is suitable for almost any footwear with removable insoles. 

Construction of the foot orthosis

  • 1 Microfiber top cover
    This top cover provides a comfortable contact layer with the foot. The presence of silver ions helps to prevent both bacteria and odors.
  • 2 und 3Cushion layer with PU pad
    This layer, made of EVA, has a tear-shaped window to hold the PU pad. The heel bone is therefore particularly well cushioned.
  • 4 Met pad
  • 5 Synthetic core
    The core also contains a groove for additional cushioning in the heel area. The plantar fan design relieves pressure on the tendon path.
  • 6 Globofit cushion
  • 7 Bottom cover
    The bottom cover ensures a non-slip contact surface between the foot orthosis and the shoe and contains an additional cushion in the heel area.
