Insoles for pain and injury

Relief for foot pain and injury

Life is hard on feet. Especially if you play any kind of sport. Jumping, pivoting, lunging, bursts of power and sudden braking - it’s no wonder foot pain and injury are commonplace.

Pain, injury and the feet

As we live, and play sport, the feet absorb the bulk of the ‘collision forces’ which over time can damage nerve endings, reduce blood flow and ultimately weaken muscle.

On your feet all day?

Amy is a Barista and is on her feet all day.

The floor at her workplace is concrete and by the end of each day, she was miserable and sore. Flats, boots, sneakers… it made no difference.

Amy tried the G8 Performance Ignite Heat Mouldable orthotic insoles.

The result:

“…I have a fresh vigour and energy for work… and same after work… because my feet don’t hurt!”

Heated with a hair dryer and molded to a non-weight bearing foot (this part is extremely important), the Ignite is completely customized.

The Ignites flex enough to allow natural foot movement within the shoe while still providing enough support.

The secret – the Ignite orthotic insoles encourage the foot to flex as nature intended which provides lasting comfort and support - the opposite of those squishy foot gels which provide temporary relief at best.

Squishy gels in your shoes are a bit like a bed of feathery pillows. They look and feel comfy initially, don't they?

But - after a night sleeping on that squishyness you just want a mattress and pillow with some support - with enough flex to accommodate those intricate bones and nerve endings.

Well, G8 Ignites provide exactly that, for your feet.

From injury prevention to performance

Leonardo da Vinci said, “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.”

When we study the engineering of the foot, we discover that it’s designed to move dynamically. But – even the best shoes by omissions in their design will over time, inhibit the foot’s natural movement.

This inhibition goes on to cause muscles to shrink, natural gait to change, and other parts of the body to unnaturally accommodate the force on your feet. 

And that's where the G8 Ignites come in...

#FACT: Did you know the front third of the foot (nearest the toes) has the greatest blood supply and the largest number of nerve endings?

Join the movement.

Why insoles if I don't have foot problems?

  • Shoes typically inhibit the foot's ability to move naturally. This can lead to the muscles in your feet atrophying. This is what causes pain and numbness - so keeping your feet healthy and strong is an excellent way to prevent the pain from ever appearing in the first place.

  • G8 insoles help to strengthen your feet. By making your feet stronger, you’ll be able to expel more force through them, leading you to be more stable and move faster.

  • Your feet are more important than you think, and if they’re too weak, the rest of the body will have to compensate. This can lead to issues with your back, knees, ankles and more. The health of your feet has an impact on your overall health.

  • G8 Performance insoles are designed to increase blood flow, and so support the healthy supply of blood to your feet. Healthy blood circulation is essential for general health and in the case of our feet can prevent conditions such as "hot foot".

  • G8 Ignite insoles help increase increase foot proprioception. Increasing the feeling in your foot is a great way to improve your balance and agility - and prevent falls or injuries caused by numbness of toes and feet.

Stronger, healthier feet mean...

1. Increased force transfer, which means greater forward momentum and less pressure on lower limbs

2. Better biomechanics and a positive effect on ankles, knees, hips and back

3. Better balance and brain-foot connection (proprioception), meaning your feet respond quickly and more accurately to your brain’s placement signals

Performance and injury prevention are implicitly tied to foot health and strength

Unlike other insole products on the market, G8 insoles aren’t a ‘quick fix’.

Instead, they are designed to increase foot strength and health in the long term. And because G8 insoles are fully customizable, they can be quickly and easily adjusted as your feet strengthen.

Many G8 insole wearers report increased performance and endurance over time.

Other full-foot benefits include: 

- Supporting the foot throughout the entire gait cycle

- Enhancing stretch and strength within the foot

- Maintaining bone structure

- Facilitating a more natural way of moving.

As more and more people adopt the G8 insoles, we continue to hear how 'everyday' people are experiencing what we now-know are improvements in biomechanical symmetry of their feet.

They're also reporting improvements in power output (performance), as their feet continue to become stronger and more efficient. 

G8 benefits for foot pain sufferers

  • Increased force transferal (more forward momentum)

  • Increased foot strength

  • Reduced torque on calf and Achilles (you know you have calf cramps no matter how much magnesium you take)

  • Increased blood flow (has cooling effect)

  • Reduced incidence of toe and foot numbness
