Sensitive & At-Risk Feet
Safeguard At Risk Insole
The Safeguard Insole is a full-length pressure-redistributing insole designed to provide enhanced cushioning, comfort and protection for sensitive, vulnerable and at-risk feet. Manufactured from Retron®, a specialist cushioning material developed to absorb impact and help redistribute pressure, it is ideal for people who require additional underfoot protection during everyday activities.
The Safeguard Insole has been carefully selected by Mark Smith Orthotics to provide enhanced cushioning, pressure redistribution and everyday comfort for people with sensitive, vulnerable or at-risk feet.
Manufactured from Retron®, a specialist cushioning material designed for orthotic and footwear applications, the Safeguard Insole helps absorb everyday impact while redistributing pressure beneath the foot. This combination of cushioning and pressure redistribution makes it particularly suitable for people who require additional underfoot protection, including those with sensitive feet, vulnerable feet or areas at increased risk of pressure-related skin breakdown.
Its full-length design cushions the entire foot from heel to toe, providing a soft, comfortable interface between the foot and the shoe. The Safeguard Insole is often chosen by people seeking additional comfort where pressure reduction is important.
Available in six adult sizes, approximately covering UK shoe sizes 3–14 (EU 35–49), the Safeguard Insole fits comfortably into many styles of everyday footwear with removable insoles.
