Ever Wondered Why You Bought Insoles from a Drugstore and Your Pain Didn’t Go Away? Here’s Why.

Picture this: You’re dealing with foot pain or discomfort, and in search of relief, you grab a pair of Dr. Scholl’s gel insoles from the drugstore. They feel nice and squishy when you first try them, but by the end of the day, your feet are just as sore. So, what’s the problem?

Cushion vs. Shock Absorption: The Real Difference

Traditional gel insoles like Dr. Scholl’s are designed for cushion, not true shock absorption. At first, the gel feels soft and comforting, but it doesn’t actually protect your body from the impact forces that cause fatigue and pain.

• Cushion: Feels soft underfoot but compresses easily. The energy from each step still travels up through your muscles and joints.
• Shock Absorption: Disperses and absorbs impact energy, protecting your body from the harsh forces that can lead to soreness and long-term damage.

Why Dr. Scholl’s Falls Short

Dr. Scholl’s and other drugstore insoles are made from a basic gel that compresses under pressure. This means:

• Minimal Impact Protection: The gel might feel soft initially, but it fails to absorb the impact forces that accumulate and strain your muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
• No Real Shock Absorption: Because the gel flattens out easily, your body still takes on the brunt of every step, leading to ongoing pain and fatigue.

The FP Footwear Advantage

FP Insoles are engineered to be different. Using non-Newtonian gel technology, our insoles don’t just feel good—they protect your body from impact forces:

• Soft When Standing or Walking: Our insoles feel comfortable and cushioned during low-impact activities.
• Firm When You Need It: The non-Newtonian gel stiffens upon impact, absorbing over 90% of the shock energy and shielding your body from the strain.

Cushion AND True Shock Absorption

With FP Insoles, you get the best of both worlds: the comfort of cushioning and the serious protection of shock absorption. Here’s how that benefits you:

• Less Fatigue: By absorbing shock energy instead of transferring it to your body, FP Insoles keep your muscles and joints from getting worn out, so you can stay active longer.
• Reduced Pain and Injury: Real shock absorption minimizes the stress on your body, reducing the risk of injuries and helping you feel better every day.
• Consistent Comfort: Unlike gel insoles that flatten over time, FP Insoles remain effective, providing reliable support and protection through all your activities.

Don’t Settle for Squishy Gel

If you’re serious about protecting your feet and avoiding pain, drugstore gel insoles just won’t cut it. FP Insoles are designed to keep you moving comfortably, with real, science-backed shock absorption that makes a difference.
