The new Podotech Gel range offers a large selection of gel products from toe separators and caps to insoles and socks. The range is manufactured from high performance medical grade gel, designed to provide optimal functionality and best value.

You can count on Podotech Gels to provide you with consistent quality, which means reliable performance from every product, every time. Podotech gels will not turn brown after a few weeks on the shelf. Podotech insoles stay in place for unsurpassed comfort and gel coatings stand up to repeated wear and washings.
The range has innovative features rarely seen with similar branded products. Podotech Gels have a thinner design profile, meaning they can easily fit into any type of shoe.
Many of the products from the range are also available with antimicrobial top covers which prevent the foot from sliding in footwear.
Podotech Gels are sold either individually or in pairs, enabling the practitioner to stock products based on ‘their’ requirements and not the wholesalers.
