Memopur Softee High Foot Arch Insoles with Heel Control

Maximum Heel and Arch Control Orthotic Cushioning Insole

Full-length orthotic insoles combining structured rearfoot control with responsive underfoot cushioning, designed for users who require stability, durability, and consistent pressure distribution.

Best for: Narrower feet, individuals seeking high levels of heel and arch control and users managing multiple foot conditions.

Not ideal for: Very wide footwear with limited internal volume or users who prefer minimal or flexible insoles.

• Clinically informed construction using Memopur polyurethane
• Balanced design combining control and cushioning
• Suitable for everyday and prolonged wear

What is it?

The Heel Control Orthotic Insole for Maximum Control is a full-length orthotic footbed engineered to provide structured support at the rearfoot while maintaining comfort across the entire foot. It is constructed from Memopur polyurethane, a finely structured, open-cell foam specifically developed for footbed applications where pressure distribution and durability are essential.

The insole incorporates a white high-density polyurethane base that reinforces the heel cup and arch area. This base enhances stability and helps guide foot motion during standing and walking. 

Combined with a cushioned upper layer, the design supports controlled movement without feeling rigid or overly restrictive.

With a standard 18 mm heel cup and a 28 mm valgus height, the insole is shaped to encourage a stable heel position. The forefoot tapers down to a lower profile, helping the insole integrate into a wide range of footwear while maintaining comfort under the metatarsal area.

Who is it for?

Our Softee High Foot Arch Insoles is intended for adults who require reliable foot control alongside everyday comfort. It is suitable for a broad range of foot types and is particularly appropriate for individuals who experience instability at the heel or who benefit from defined arch support.

It is commonly selected by healthcare-informed buyers, including those familiar with orthotic use, as well as general consumers seeking a supportive insole for daily activities, work, or extended periods on their feet.

The design is especially relevant for:

• Users with narrower feet who struggle to achieve a secure fit with softer insoles
• People who need consistent rearfoot control during walking or standing
• Individuals who want cushioning without sacrificing structural support

What does it help with?

The Heel Control Orthotic Insole is designed to support foot function and comfort across a range of commonly encountered conditions. Rather than targeting a single issue, it provides a stable, well-distributed platform that may help reduce strain and discomfort associated with abnormal foot mechanics.

• Plantar fasciitis → May help reduce excessive heel strain through cushioning and controlled support
• Flat feet (pes planus) → Supports the arch and helps manage inward rolling of the foot
• High arches → Aids pressure distribution under the heel and forefoot
• Overpronation → Rearfoot control helps guide more stable foot motion
• Supination (underpronation) → Cushioning assists with shock absorption
• Metatarsalgia → Tapered forefoot design helps reduce localised pressure
• Diabetic foot conditions → Even pressure distribution supports daily comfort
• Arthritic feet → Shock absorption may help reduce impact-related discomfort

How does it work?

The insole works by combining material properties and structural design. Memopur polyurethane responds gradually to load, contouring to the foot while resisting permanent compression. This helps maintain consistent support over time.

The high-density PU base focuses on heel and arch stability. By supporting these key areas, the insole can help limit excessive or uncontrolled motion, particularly during the stance phase of gait. 

At the same time, the open-cell structure of the foam assists with shock absorption, helping to moderate the forces transmitted through the foot and lower limb.

The result is an insole that feels supportive rather than soft, offering controlled comfort suitable for everyday wear.

Expected comfort and use timeline

First use: The insole may feel firm initially, especially for users transitioning from very soft or unsupportive footbeds. A sense of structured support under the heel and arch is normal.

Short-term (first few days): As the foot becomes accustomed to the shape and density, comfort typically improves. Wearing the insoles for gradually increasing periods is recommended.

Ongoing use (weeks): With regular use, the Memopur material maintains its shape and support. Users often report consistent comfort and stability during daily activities.

Technical specifications

Frequently asked questions

Can these insoles be worn every day?

Yes, they are designed for regular daily use, provided wear time is increased gradually during the initial adjustment period.

Are they suitable for diabetic feet?

The even pressure distribution and cushioning may support comfort for diabetic foot conditions. Individual needs can vary, so professional guidance is advised if you have concerns.

Do they fit all shoes?

They fit most standard shoes with removable insoles, but footwear with limited depth may feel tight.

Will they feel firm around the arch?

They provide structured support and may feel firmer than soft gel insoles, especially at first.

Can they be washed?

Yes, they can be machine washed up to 40°C. Air dry thoroughly before reuse.

Are they left and right specific?

The design is generally universal, but correct orientation in the shoe is important for comfort.
