Pressure-relieving Insoles for People with Diabetes, Arthritis and Neuropathy
Duosoft Plus are soft, pressure-relieving insoles designed for people with diabetes, arthritis, neuropathy, foot deformity or generally sensitive feet.
The most comfortable insoles in the World (no joke) - Duosoft Plus Memory Foam Insoles are prescribed daily by NHS and used widely at home by Arthritis and Diabetes sufferers throughout the UK and middle east. View Duosoft on NHS Supply Chain portal.
They combine a slow-rebound PORON medical grade top cover with a supportive polyurethane base and a Vygel heel to improve comfort, cushion impact, and help spread plantar pressure more evenly inside the shoe.
For people who need more than a basic shoe insert, these insoles are designed to reduce friction, improve underfoot comfort, and provide a more protective in-shoe environment for daily wear.

Key selling points
- High-level cushioning for diabetic and sensitive feet
- Slow-rebound memory foam helps cradle the foot
- Designed to redistribute pressure across the plantar surface
- Vygel heel helps attenuate shock at heel strike
- Supportive base helps the insole keep its shape better than basic foam inserts
- Suitable for everyday footwear with adequate depth
- Antibacterial materials help keep the in-shoe environment fresher
- Sold as a pair
What they do and how they work
Duosoft Plus is a cushioning insole for pressure relief and comfort.
The PORON top layer has a soft, slow-rebound feel that helps the insole conform to the contours of the foot over time. This can help reduce localised pressure, improve comfort around bony areas, and reduce friction-related stress inside footwear.
Unlike ordinary insoles that quickly lose their shape, flatten and become uncomfortable Duosoft Plus offers superior cushioning from heel to toe without compromising arch support.
Underneath, the moulded cellular urethane base adds resilience and structure so the insole remains supportive during walking and standing.
A Vygel heel section helps reduce impact at heel strike, which may be useful for people with heel sensitivity, foot fatigue, or painful joints.
Common problems it may help with
- Pressure-sensitive feet
- Friction that can contribute to blisters or callus formation
- Heel discomfort and impact sensitivity
- Sensitive or at-risk areas that benefit from softer in-shoe cushioning
- General foot fatigue during prolonged standing or walking

- Forefoot Accommodation: Offers additional support and cushioning for the forefoot.

FAQs
What are Duosoft Plus insoles used for?
They are used to provide soft cushioning, pressure relief, and shock absorption for people with diabetes, arthritis, neuropathy, sensitive feet, or discomfort caused by high-pressure areas inside footwear.
How do these insoles help diabetic feet?
They are designed to redistribute plantar pressure more evenly and reduce friction-related stress. This can help create a more protective in-shoe environment for feet that are vulnerable or pressure-sensitive.
Are they suitable for arthritis and painful joints?
Yes. The slow-rebound cushioning helps reduce pressure-related discomfort, while the supportive base adds stability and resilience for everyday walking and standing.
Do they provide support as well as cushioning?
Yes. Duosoft Plus combines a soft PORON top cover with a supportive moulded base, so the insole offers comfort from heel to toe without behaving like a basic foam insert that quickly flattens.
Will they fit any shoe?
They are designed to fit most everyday footwear, but adequate shoe depth is important. Shoes that are too shallow may compress the insole and reduce comfort.
Can they help with metatarsalgia or forefoot pain?
They are commonly used where additional forefoot cushioning and pressure reduction are needed, including metatarsalgia and other pressure-related forefoot discomforts.
Are they suitable for pre-ulcerated or at-risk areas?
They can be used as a protective cushioning layer for at-risk areas, but people with diabetes, previous ulceration, or active high-risk foot problems should seek clinical advice on suitability.
How should I look after them?
Clean gently with mild detergent if needed, then let them air dry fully. Avoid high heat, as this may affect the materials.
When should they be replaced?
Replace them when there is visible wear, flattening, loss of cushioning, or a noticeable drop in comfort and support.
Are they sold individually or as a pair?
They are sold in pairs.
