Podiatrist-Designed Footbed

Our unique Sole Hero® Support Footbeds are Podiatrist designed and found in all styles, except our LuxaLite range®.

Depending on the style, they are either built-in or adjustable. This style features a built in Sole Hero® Support Footbed 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 system is designed to aid in shock absorption and enhance the feeling of softness under foot. To put it 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.

Responsible Leather Sourcing

We’re members of the Leather Working Group (LWG), the world’s leading responsible leather organisation. Over 90% of the leathers used in our styles come from LWG Gold Rated tanneries, with the remainder from LWG Silver Rated tanneries.

This reduces the use of toxic or hazardous substances, reduces pollution, and aids with water management.
