The sole of our feet measures only a few square centimetres and yet, every single day, ankles, muscles, tendons, plantar arches and toe joints work for us, bearing our body weight and keeping our balance.
It only takes something little to throw us slightly off balance and excess pressure is created, leading to heavy legs, swelling, callosity, bursitis and ulcers. In the long term, these can become medical conditions, some of which can even be disabling.
After decades of study and research with the most prestigious international universities and exclusive partnerships with major players in material manufacture such as Vibram and Podiatech, Podartis has created its own range of insoles which have a multilayered structure and exclusive hi-tech materials, extending the plantar support surface and rebalancing pressure distribution.
Our insoles are the result of a careful selection of the best technologies and approaches from all over the world which have been fused together to create the perfect insole.
Podartis uses top-end hi-tech materials, many of which are exclusive, and have been developed and patented in the course of partnerships with industry leaders, such as Vibram and Podiatech. Many of these materials are skin-friendly, antibacterial, anti-fungal and breathable boasting an outstanding ability to withstand wear, tear and scuffing and designed to last whilst providing the customer with total comfort and a sensation of well-being.
Some of the best materials on the market (also used by sector experts to create custom-made insoles) developed and patented by Podartis are:
Amongst its various partnerships, Podartis has conducted a special study in conjunction with the Italian Special-Operations Forces (Col Moschin – Special Intervention Team and the Paratroopers Regiment Tuscania) whereby our insoles were scrutinised by subjecting them to the most extreme field tests. A significant reduction in pressure peaks on the forefoot and rearfoot was demonstrated (from 16% (while walking) to 36% (while running)).
