Product Overview
In the demanding world of professional workwear, the importance of what lies beneath your feet is often overlooked. The FC90 Gel Cushioning Insole is designed to address this directly, providing a critical layer of support for those who spend their entire working day standing or walking. These lightweight gel inserts are engineered to transform standard footwear into a more ergonomic environment, focusing on shock absorption and the significant reduction of foot fatigue.
Key Features
Advanced Gel Technology: The integrated gel cushions are specifically designed to absorb shocks from walking on hard industrial surfaces, which helps in reducing the impact transmitted through the joints.
Trimmable Design: To ensure a perfect fit within your specific footwear, these insoles can be easily trimmed to size, preventing the discomfort of shifting or bunching inside the shoe.
Ache Relief: By providing a more supportive and cushioned platform, these insoles help relieve the pressure that lead to tired, aching feet during long shifts.
Design & Performance
The construction of the FC90 prioritises a balance between a slim-profile design and maximum cushioning. Made from a durable, substantial gel material, these insoles maintain their structural integrity even under constant pressure. Unlike some foam alternatives that can compress permanently over time, the gel offers a more responsive feel, distributing weight more evenly across the foot. This performance is particularly noticeable when navigating hard tiled floors or concrete environments common in professional kitchens and workshops.
Why No Customisation?
This product is a functional internal component of your footwear. As it sits entirely inside the shoe to provide ergonomic support, customisation via embroidery or print is not applicable. Our focus here remains purely on the technical performance and comfort of the item to ensure it performs its primary role without interference.
Use Cases
These insoles are an excellent choice for professionals in the catering and hospitality sectors, including chefs, kitchen staff, and front-of-house teams who are constantly on the move. They are equally beneficial for bakers, butchers, and any tradesperson who requires additional foot protection and comfort during extended periods of standing.

Practical Advice
This particular model is the Large size, designed to fit UK shoe sizes 10.5 to 12 (Euro 45-47). For the best results, we recommend using your shoe's existing insole as a template before trimming the FC90 to ensure a precise fit. It is advisable to trim conservatively; you can always remove more material, but you cannot replace it once cut.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and hygiene of your gel insoles, they should be regularly removed from the footwear to air out. This simple step prevents the buildup of moisture which can lead to the degradation of the material and the development of unpleasant odours.
If the insoles become soiled, they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. We advise against machine washing or tumble drying, as excessive heat can compromise the structural integrity of the gel and may affect the adhesive properties of the trimming guide. Ensure they are completely air-dried before reinserting them into your shoes to avoid any slippage during use.
