What is Sorbothane?

Sorbothane is a proprietary viscoelastic polymer developed in the UK — it behaves like a liquid under impact, absorbing and dissipating shock energy, then returns to its original shape — unlike foam insoles that compress and lose effectiveness over time, Sorbothane retains its shock-absorbing properties for the life of the insole. Independent testing shows Sorbothane absorbs up to 94.7% of impact shock — significantly more than standard foam or gel insoles.

Who Should Use Sorbothane Insoles?

• Runners — reduces impact on knees, hips, and lower back during road running and trail running
• GAA & football players — absorbs impact from hard pitches and artificial surfaces during training and matches
• Golfers — reduces fatigue and heel pain during long rounds on hard fairways
• Anyone with heel pain or plantar fasciitis — the Sorbothane Heel Pad is widely recommended by Irish podiatrists for plantar fasciitis and heel spur relief
