The Softie is the perfect solution for the immediate comfort of extremely sensitive feet. Molded of a dense gel compound, the Softie is shaped to fit the arch, while providing the ultimate in cushion against step-shock. The Softie compresses generously under the pressure of body weight, giving the feet a welcome break from long days standing on hard surfaces. Reinforced arch areas help to prevent flattening of the feet during gait, and a gripping bottom surface keeps the Softie in place inside a closed-heel shoe. Ready to wear all day right out of the package, the Softie is designed to provide the quickest comfort possible.
Flexibility: Very Soft
The Softie is designed to cushion the arches, preserving them against damage from step-shock. Rather than re-aligning the arches or redistributing pressure through the foot, the Softie forms an arch-shaped “pillow” between the foot and the hard surfaces on which it walks, removing stress and tension from aching bones, ligaments and tendons.
What’s in a Softie?
Gel Cushion
With the exception of the heel plug, the entire Softie is made of a gel material that easily absorbs the shock waves that course through the feet and body with each step. This gel material is dense enough to stand up to the pressure of body weight exerted against concrete floors with each step.
What Does It Do, And How Can It Help?
The Softie flexes easily under the mobile foot, accommodating its every move in a closed-heel shoe. This multipurpose cushion can gently nurse the most aching and tired feet, while providing arch support in the form of raised and reinforced arch shapes.
Molded Arch Support
The Softie features a slight heel cup, and support for the inner and outer arches in the form of reinforced construction below those arches. The inner longitudinal arch is reinforced with thickened bars of gel cushioning, which withstand more pressure than the other areas of the Softie, without losing their shape.
What Does It Do, And How Does It Help?
While the entire Softie is engineered to provide the utmost in comfortable cushioning to the entire foot, the Softie’s inner longitudinal arch can help to prevent the feet from rolling inwards, or flattening. The Softie’s mild stability can mean the difference between sore, aching knees and a more even gait.
Reinforced Heel Cushion
The heel end of the Softie features a raised heel cushion made of a denser gel compound. This extra-padded area is designed to reduce shock to the body every time the heel strikes the ground.
What Does It Do, And How Does It Help?
Every step each foot takes begins when the heel makes contact with the ground, in what is called “heel strike.” When the heel strikes the ground, up to three times the body’s weight can be exerted on the bones and tissues of the heel. This puts the heel under tons of stress, especially if it is not properly supported. The Softie’s heel cushion is designed to absorb most of this impact, thereby reducing stress to the entire body.
As part of a complete Good Feet Arch Support System, the Softie is ideal for:
- Walking
Standing all day
Relaxing
Working (boots, shoes, etc.)
Casual and Leisure activities
