productLiquid orthotic insoles
Sole Mates from Happy Feet are
liquid orthotic insoles which use a
fluid, rather than foam or gel, to
provide significant support and
comfort to the wearer. New to the
UK, the insole ‘floats the foot’ on a
cool cushion of pharmaceutical grade
glycerine, which ‘moulds’ to the shape
of the foot. This helps spreads the
weight more evenly across the whole
of the foot, rather than just the heel
and the ball areas, reducing foot pain.
