Our unique Sole Hero™ Footbeds are Podiatrist-designed and found in all our styles. Depending on the style, they are either built-in or adjustable. This style features adjustable footbeds to perfect the fit if needed.  

The Sole Hero™ Footbed featured in this style is designed with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel pain (including Plantar Fasciitis), arch pain, and forefoot pain through 2 key elements: 

Align: The Footbed contours were designed with the aim to help facilitate better alignment and movement through the foot and leg by supporting the heel and arch.

Cushion: The Sole Hero™ Footbed is loaded with cushioning where it is needed. Our contoured layered cushioning is designed to aid in shock absorption and enhance the feeling of softness under foot.    To put simply, our aim is for the shoe (including this footbed) to help take the stress of standing and walking on hard surfaces, and the wearer to feel their feet are walking on clouds.

This style features our unique FRANKIE4 Triple Layer Support & Cushion System. 

With body mechanics in mind, the 3 layers are strategically designed to bias support and cushioning where it is needed.

Our heel counters are made from a modern and forgiving thermoplastic, and are designed to be firm enough to assist in the role of holding the foot within the shoe, and forgiving enough to accommodate the heels needed motion while minimising friction and pressure on the skin.

The materials we use in our unique moulded soles are selected to provide a great foundation to work with our Sole Hero™️ Support Footbeds.  

It’s the space between the ground and your foot is where our soles and footbeds do their job.

Together they lift, cradle, support and cushion your foot with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel pain, arch pain and forefoot pain. To put simply, our aim is for the shoe to help take the stress of standing and walking on hard surfaces, and the wearer feel their feet are walking on clouds. 

We have re-engineered leisure footwear with our Custom Control™ fitting assembly - the first of its kind!

Included with our BiLLiE and TAMBO styles is all you need to adjust the fitting to suit your foot type and desired feel under foot. 

Choose our cushioned FRANKIE4 LiTE footbed for a soft, minimalist feel, or the FRANKIE4 Sole Hero™️ footbed for a more supported ride. The pack also includes a set of forefoot cushions so you can achieve your best fit.
