Slimflex Carbon Orthotic Insoles for Supination

Product Description

Combined Arch Support and Supination Control 

Slimflex Carbon orthotic insoles are designed to provide effective supination control and enhanced foot stability. Manufactured using durable EVA orthotic foam and a rigid carbon-effect thermoplastic base, these insoles offer reliable biomechanical support for patients who require greater control of foot movement.

Secure Heel Cradle

The structured base helps stabilise the foot by supporting the lateral arch and providing a secure heel cradle, helping to reduce excessive outward rolling of the foot. This makes Slimflex Carbon an excellent orthotic solution for individuals experiencing supination, lateral instability or biomechanical imbalance.

The rigid thermoplastic shell also makes Slimflex Carbon particularly suitable for heavier patients or those requiring stronger foot control compared to softer orthotic devices. The combination of supportive structure and cushioning EVA foam ensures both durability and comfort during everyday activities.

Moisture-absorbing Top Cover

Each insole is finished with a quick-drying, moisture-absorbing top cover that helps maintain comfort and hygiene throughout the day. This breathable covering helps manage moisture build-up in footwear, making the insoles suitable for both active and daily use.

For clinicians, Slimflex Carbon offers excellent flexibility in orthotic prescription. The insoles can be easily customised using Slimflex wedges and Podotech orthotic components, allowing practitioners to create a tailored orthotic device that meets the specific biomechanical needs of each patient.

Combining strong foot control, durability and chairside customisation, Slimflex Carbon orthotic insoles provide a practical and effective solution for managing supination and improving overall foot stability.

Orthotic Features

Full Lateral Control

The insoles have a rigid thermoplastic rearfoot base that controls the foot, preventing the foot rolling outwards - also known as Supination or Under Pronation. 

True Supination Control Orthotic Insoles

Many orthotic insoles claim to prevent supination, but they don’t, they simply help flat footed people. Slimflex Carbon are proven to prevent foot rolling.

Unique Design

Biomechanical 3D design utilises advanced materials to provide support and stability for the foot, helping prevent ailments linked to ‘rolling’ such as heel pain, ankle instability and forefoot pain. 

Cushioning System

Featuring signature comfort cushioning for superior shock absorption, these orthotic insoles will help keep feet aligned but also fatigue free. Insoles can be worn by women and men, children and adults. 

Durable Quality

The insoles are made from robust, high-quality materials designed to last multiple years even under heavy usage conditions ensuring the feet have ultimate comfort.

Lateral and Medial Control from rear

When to Use Slimflex Carbon Orthotic Insoles

Ideal introduction to orthotic therapy: Slimflex Carbon insoles provide a practical starting point for patients beginning orthotic treatment, offering reliable support and control without the need for complex custom devices.

First-line treatment in clinical practice: Commonly used as a first-line orthotic solution in both NHS podiatry clinics and private podiatry practices, helping clinicians deliver effective biomechanical support quickly.

Deep heel cup for enhanced foot control: The deep heel cup design helps stabilise the heel and improve overall foot alignment, allowing effective correction even when additional wedges or orthotic components are not used.

Medial and lateral arch support: The orthotic design supports both the medial and lateral arches, helping to stabilise the foot and reduce excessive movement.

Customisable for advanced biomechanical needs: For more complex foot conditions, Slimflex Carbon insoles can be used alongside Slimflex wedges and Podotech orthotic components to create a more customised orthotic solution.

Clinically established orthotic solution: Slimflex insoles are widely prescribed within the NHS and supported by clinical research, making them a trusted choice for managing a range of biomechanical foot conditions.

Indications

• Stress fracture prevention 

Professional Usage Tips

• Use Slimflex Carbon on its own to control a minimally deviated STJ axis.
• Try using a Slimflex Carbon with a 3.5° rear foot wedge (MOSI).
• Use a Slimflex Carbon with a kinetic wedge for a functional hallux limitus presentation.

Fitting and Care Guide

1. Size Selection: Choose the insole size that matches the shoe size. If necessary, trim the insole to fit the shoe by following the guidelines on the insole.
2. Insertion: Remove the existing insole from your shoe. Place the Slimflex Insole inside the shoe, ensuring it lies flat and the heel fits snugly against the back of the shoe.
3. Adjustment Period: The insoles should be worn for a few hours initially to allow your feet to adjust. Gradually increase usage time over several days.
4. Cleaning: Remove the insoles from the shoes. Wipe them with a damp cloth using mild soap. Do not immerse in water.
5. Drying: Allow the insoles to air dry completely before reinserting them into the shoes. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat.
6. Inspection: Regularly check the insoles for signs of wear and replace them as needed to maintain optimal support and comfort.
