Sport-Specific Insoles

“During my international hockey career, I was always aware of how important footwear and insoles were to perform at my best,” says Lewis.

“After my first appointment with Profeet, I started using the personalised moulded insoles right away. The confidence it gave me, knowing they were tailored to my feet, gait, and foot plant, was fantastic. Plus, having the moulds made right there and then, instead of waiting a few weeks for them to arrive, was a huge bonus. With multiple training sessions and matches each week, I could benefit from the support immediately.”

Tin-Tin explains,

“Because table tennis is a sport where you’re on your feet a lot, side-stepping frequently, I found that Profeet and my custom insoles have really helped me maintain and actually improve my performance while preventing my recurring injuries of plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. I’m very grateful for their support.”

Since incorporating Profeet insoles into her training and competition routine, Tin-Tin has been able to focus on her game without the constant worry of re-injury. Profeet insoles provide her with the stability and support required for the quick, lateral motions in table tennis, reducing strain on her feet and allowing her to perform at her best.
 

Sports we support

Profeet’s sport-specific insoles are not limited to hockey and table tennis or running and skiing; they are beneficial across a wide variety of sports and activities. Here’s how our custom insoles can benefit athletes in other disciplines:

Football, Rugby & Hockey:  These sports involve high-impact, multi-directional movements that put strain on the lower body. Insoles for these sports provide cushioning, stabilise the feet, and help prevent common injuries like ankle sprains and knee issues.

Tennis, Badminton & Squash: Racquet sports typically feature fast-twitch movements: side to side, forwards and backwards, that place high stresses on the lower body and feet. Profeet custom insoles help to stabilise these movements, prevent the rolling of ankles ankles and deliver welcome cushioning and rebound. In fact, most pro tennis players swear by their custom insoles!

Cricket: Cricket requires strength and agility to deliver a fast bowl or clock up the runs. Profeet custom insoles support the specific movement patterns and demands of cricket and provide cushioning, stability and guidance to help protect feet from the stresses and strains of the game.

Golf: Golfers benefit from insoles that improve posture and stability, which helps with balance and swing mechanics. Proper support can also prevent back and knee pain from long hours on the course.

Cycling: Cyclists benefit from insoles that provide metatarsal support and improve pedal efficiency. Custom insoles also reduce hot spots and improve comfort during long rides.

And of course:

Running: Running places repetitive impact on the feet and lower body. Custom insoles can help absorb shock, improve alignment, and provide arch support, which reduces the risk of injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and stress fractures.

Walking: Whether you’re walking to work, commuting across the capital, rambling in the English countryside or scaling Hellvelyn, our custom insoles offer bespoke support and comfort. They not only help to keep your feet in good shape, but increase endurance so you can go the extra mile – wherever you are.

Skiing and Snowboarding: These winter sports demand precise foot control and stability. Profeet insoles help with foot alignment, provide warmth, and reduce pressure points, enhancing control on the slopes.
